Bennett College sues to keep accreditation after lost appeal One of the two remaining historically black private women’s colleges in the country is suing to keep its doors open after losing its appeal to have its accreditation restored. Bennett College filed a federal lawsuit Friday, the same day the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges announced it would uphold its decision to revoke the school’s accreditation.

Bennett president Phyllis Worthy Dawkins tells news outlets a federal judge in Atlanta granted a temporary restraining order, preserving Bennett’s accreditation while the court case continues.

Bennett has also applied for accreditation from the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools.

House, Senate school construction plans differ on details

By A.P. Dillon For the North State Journal RALEIGH — The funding needed for school construction and capital needs is one step closer to reality as Senate Bill 5 heads to the House. However, the thinking in Raleigh on issues like school construction funding can be different than what is considered in other parts of the state.

Dr. Terry Stoops, Vice President of Research and Education Studies for the John Locke Foundation, stresses efficiency and oversight concerns.

“While much of the discussion has centered on how to fund the school construction, elected officials need to hold districts accountable for the use and misuse of taxpayer dollars,” said Stoops.

“The current, wish-fulfillment model of building and renovating public schools will not address short- and long-term school facility needs. If the state plans on making a sizable investment in school buildings, then lawmakers must ensure that districts must use those funds efficiently,” Stoops said.

Dr. Stoops said that Senate Bill 5’s plan avoids a billion dollars in debt service, but that neither the Senate plan or the bond plan has enough accountability measures.

In addition, neither plan includes ways for districts to work with non-profits or the private sector to address class size capacity or maintenance issues.

“The ideal plan would include both input and outcome components,” Dr. Stoops said.

Stoops noted that most school districts are seeing student enrollment decline, and identifying ways for districts to “streamline operations through school mergers and closures” needs to happen before funds are dispersed.

“Charter school enrollment is booming,” said Stoops. “Whether lawmakers opt for the pay-asyou-go model or the bond, it is time for them to consider including charters, which currently do not receive capital funding from counties or the state, in the conversation.”

A.L. “Buddy” Collins is a former member of the State Board of Education and a former member of the Winston-Salem Forsyth County School Board. Collins’s opinion on oversight lines up with Dr. Stoops.

Collins says whichever way the state ends up going, a spending plan and oversight of the spending is critical to success. “’What is it we are trying to accomplish?’ is the first thing policymakers need to be asking,” said Collins. “And then the question becomes ‘how do you accomplish that?’”

“Unlike some conservatives, I see the role of a bond.” said Collins, as he recalled how he came to know Dr. Terry Stoops of the John Locke Foundation.

Stoops had criticized the use of a bond and said people should vote against them because the school systems ended up wasting or mismanaging the money. Collins said he “called his hand on it, See SCHOOLS, page A2

Trump, Kim facing big issues after big welcome in Hanoi

By Foster Klug and Jonathan Lemire The Associated Press HANOI, Vietnam — After long journeys to Vietnam, U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un are in place for their second summit to address perhaps the world’s biggest security challenge: Kim’s pursuit of a nuclear program that stands on the verge of realistically threatening targets around the planet.

Although many experts are skeptical Kim will give up the nuclear weapons he likely sees as his best guarantee of continued rule, there was a palpable, carnival-like excitement among many in Hanoi as the final preparations were made for the meeting. There were

also huge traffic jams in the already congested streets.

The two leaders are to meet over two days, first at dinner on Wednesday followed by meetings on Thursday.

Trump arrived late Tuesday in Air Force One after a flight that included refueling stops in England and Qatar. He shook hands with dignitaries on a red carpet that was flanked by members of the Vietnamese armed forces dressed in crisp white uniforms. The route to his hotel was decorated with American, North Korean and Vietnamese flags, and adults and children peered out upper floor windows holding up cellphones to capture Trump’s arrival.

Cooper gives 2019 State of the State to joint session Speech focuses on disaster relief, education and environmental protection

By David Larson North State Journal RALEIGH — Members of the North Carolina legislature gathered in the state House chambers Monday night with other state officials and dignitaries to witness Gov. Roy Cooper give his biennual State of the State address.

With many more members of his own party present after some gains in last year’s elections, Cooper said, “The people of North Carolina are determined for us to work together.

They have spoken. They want a more balanced approach to government.”

Cooper frequently returned to this theme of determination. In his closing moments, he brought these elements together, saying, “Just like the people I met along the way, I’m determined. I’m determined to make our state better. I believe you are too. Starting tonight, let’s figure out how to best serve those who sent us here. There’s nothing a deterSee COOPER, page A2

By A.P Dillon For the North State Journal From candy to soda to pizza, a compound called CBD is weaving its way inside menus and health supplement stores across the country. But what is CBD? Cannabidiol, most often called CBD, is a compound that comes from the cannabis plant. CBD acts on different parts of the nervous system than tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the chemical compound in cannabis responsible for euphoric highs. CBD isn’t considered a mind-altering substance and doesn’t produce a “high” like THC. Throughout the human body, there are cannabinoid receptors that have influence over one’s perception or feelings of pain or even how hungry we are.

There are two types of receptors called CB1 and CB2.

CB1 receptors are located in the nervous system and brain, but can also be found in the lungs, liver, kidneys and reproductive organs. When activated, CB1 receptors play a part in moods, motor coordination, sleep regulation and hunger.

CB2 receptors are found in the immune system tissues, and when these receptors are activated, they work to alleviate swelling or inflammation.

Many claim that CBD helps with insomnia, arthritis, nerve pain, depression and even epilepsy.

According to the Center for Disease Control, scientists think CBD may help children who have seizures where other medications

have failed and that studies have been started to test the theory.

Cannabidiol can be synthesized and “fake” or “counterfeit” versions of the compound made dozens of people ill between October 2017 and January 2018.

In December of 2018, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a statement on hemp being removed from the list of controlled substances as a result of the signing of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018.

The FDA’s statement also singles out the use of CBD in food, stating is it “unlawful under the Food Drug & Cosmetic Act to introduce food containing added CBD or THC into interstate commerce, or to market CBD or THC products as, or in, dietary supplements, regardless of whether the substances are hemp-derived.”

In a nutshell, the FDA’s statement warns that CBD has not been approved by the FDA, that the agency regards the substance as illegal — especially in food items or supplements.

While CBD is making the rounds on menu’s it’s also starting to make appearances in state laws.

A law currently moving through the Virginia legislature, SB 1632, takes aim at CBD oil use by teens.

SB 1632 would require that “written certification” for use at school.

The bill also bars a school or district from suspending or expelling a student who has certification to use the product.

In California, the Los Angeles County’s Department of Public Health is putting businesses on no-

In this Friday, Jan. 4, 2018 photo, Colada employee Daphne Bissainte spikes a colada with green roads CBD oil in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. tice that beginning this July, CBD in food products can cost them two points on their inspections.

In North Carolina, lawmakers might have to give CBD a look, as one state agency is already sending out letters to businesses on the topic.

According to a press release sent out by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, letters are going out to “manufacturers and retailers who sell products containing CBD oil” informing them the product cannot be legally added to foods.”

“Under federal Food and Drug Administration laws, CBD is considered a drug,” said Joe Reardon, NCDA&CS assistant commissioner of consumer protection, in the press release. “North Carolina state laws mirror federal laws. This means that CBD cannot legally be added to any human food or animal feed that is for sale.”

“We are taking an educate before regulate stance with industry,” Reardon said.

The press release also says that CBD products being sold cannot make health claims, “including statements that the product may prevent, treat or cure any disease” and that businesses in violation may see their products “embargoed or seized.”

“I have some of the same concerns that the Dept, of Agriculture has on some of the ingested CBD

products. I think we need better regulation on testing for THC content and heavy metal and pesticides on any CBD products to be ingested,” said Deputy Majority Whip Rep. Pat McElraft (R-Jones, Carteret) in an email to North State Journal.

“I think CBD oil has some medicinal purposes and has been working well for the children with Epilepsy and others with cancer etc.,” said McElraft. “We now have an FDA cleared CBD oil for Intractable Epilepsy called Epidiolex that requires a prescription.”

McElraft explained that the U.S. Farm Act of 2014 allowed hemp with less than a 0.3 percent THC concentration to be sold in the United States, but said that the problem is that no one knows what level of THC is in some of the CBD products being sold in some shops.

“We need to regulate them and make sure they have independent lab testing for harmful ingredients. We also need to make sure they are not exceeding the 0.3 percent THC level,” McElraft said.

McElraft said she intended to meet with officials in the Department of Agriculture to see if she could help with legislation.

The Department of Agriculture release says that business owners with questions or concerns about CBD and the regulation of it should contact the Food and Drug Protection Division at 919-733-7366.

by bank, said of Kim. “He is very young and he is very interesting.

And he is very powerful,” she said.

“Trump is not young, but I think he is very powerful.”

Kim ventured out of his lockeddown hotel and spent Tuesday traveling around the Vietnamese capital in his armored limousine. With a squad of bodyguards in tow, he visited sections of Hanoi, including his nation’s embassy where a loud cheer went up as he entered the compound.

The leaders first met last June in Singapore, a summit that was long on historic pageantry but short on any enforceable agreements for North Korea to give up its nuclear arsenal.

North Korea has spent decades, at great economic sacrifice, building its nuclear program, and there is widespread skepticism among experts that it will give away that program cheaply.

Trump laid out ultimate goals for both the U.S. and Kim in an appearance before the nation’s governors Monday before leaving Washington: “We want denuclearization, and I think he’ll have a country that will set a lot of records for speed in terms of an

economy.”

Trump has praised Pyongyang for ceasing missile tests, and he has appeared to ease up on demanding a timeline for disarmament. Kim is seeking relief from crushing U.S. sanctions.

Even as he tamped down expectations that he’ll achieve big strides toward denuclearization, Trump was still eager to claim an attention-grabbing victory to offset the political turmoil he faces at home.

That eagerness for a victory, however, has spawned worries across world capitals about what Trump might be willing to give up in the name of a win. There seems less mystery about his North Korean counterpart. Survival of the Kim regime is always the primary concern.

Four main goals emerged from the first Trump-Kim summit: establishing new relations between the nations, building a new peace on the entire Korean Peninsula, completing denuclearization of the peninsula and recovering U.S. POW/MIA remains from the Korean War. While some remains have been returned to the United States, lit-

tle has been achieved on the other points. Korean and American negotiators have not settled on either the parameters of denuclearization or a timetable for the removal of both Korean weapons and American sanctions.

“I’m not in a rush. I don’t want to rush anybody, I just don’t want testing. As long as there’s no testing, we’re happy,” Trump told the governors on Sunday.

As host, Vietnam is eager to show off its huge economic and development improvements since the destruction of the Vietnam War, but the country also tolerates no dissent and is able to provide the kind of firm hand not allowed by more democratic potential hosts.

In addition to the U.S. and North Korea, China, South Korea and Japan also have deep interests in what Trump and Kim can hammer out in Vietnam, including the biggest question of them all: Can the U.S. and North Korea agree on what the “denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula” means and, if so, can they create a successful framework that gets it done? The answer may come this week.

“Tremendous crowds, and so much love!” the U.S. president tweeted.

Kim’s journey to the summit, though shorter, was even more protracted. To get to Hanoi, he took a nearly 70-hour train ride through southern China and then traveled from a Vietnamese border town in his limousine. Hours ahead of his border crossing at Dong Dang, footage from Japanese TV network TBS showed Kim taking a pre-dawn smoke break at a train station in China, a woman who appeared to be his sister, Kim Yo Jong, holding a crystal ashtray at the ready.

In Hanoi, soldiers, police and international journalists thronged the streets outside his hotel and hundreds of eager citizens stood behind barricades hoping to see the North Korean leader. As flags from the three countries fluttered in a chilly drizzle, dozens of cameras flashed and some citizens screamed and used their mobile phones to capture Kim’s rockstar-like arrival.

SCHOOLS from page A1 invited him to come to Forsyth” so that Stoops could see how bond money could be spent correctly.

An example that Collins brought up that highlights spending disparities among districts was that of a high school built in Forsyth County for $30 million, while next door in Guilford County, a high school was built for $65 million.

As a result of his visit to the district, Stoops ended up writing a piece called the Forsyth Formula which laid out what Stoops considered best practices for school bonds.

The Forsyth Formula contains ten core principles set in place by the Winston-Salem Forsyth school board that all aim to keep spending in check, spend efficiently, and avoid costly redundancies.

“The Treasurer’s office has the local government commission.

It’s responsible for the sale of the bond, it’s responsible for payment of this debt and, quite frankly, this construction project should be in the Treasurer’s office,” said Collins asked about oversight of a bond.

“Folwell’s on the State Board of Education and the Treasurer should be overseeing how this thing is spent, otherwise Terry

Stoops is going to be right, and that is, the money is going to be wasted,” Collins said. “If Forsyth can build a high school for $30 million and Guilford for $65 million, there is a real disparity on what a district is doing with the money.”

On funding, Collins said he wanted more clarity on the funding formula and who would be managing the funds and accountability measures. He also questioned if both proposals put together would be enough money and suggested supplementing those funds through monies he sees as currently “left on the table” by taxing gambling machines.

Collins said if it were him, he’d do both the bond, under the guidance of the state treasurer, and Senate Bill 5.

mined North Carolina can’t do.”

In this spirit of cooperative divided government, there were bipartisan ovations for much of the governor’s speech on issues like education and hurricane relief. Certain moments, like on eliminating coastal drilling and on climate change, received only applause from his Democratic colleagues.

As Cooper called for an expansion of Medicaid in North Carolina, Republican response was mixed, with scattered applause from some seemingly receptive to a call the GOP has long resisted in the state.

Cooper used a common Democratic argument that tax money is already leaving the state to cover this expansion in other states, so North Carolina is missing out on what’s already theirs.

Asking a doctor attending as his guest to stand, Cooper referenced this doctor’s work with the uninsured in Watauga County as support for expanding coverage.

“Dr. Adams believes that as soon as possible, we should expand Medicaid,” Cooper said. “Let’s follow the doctor’s order.”

After Cooper’s speech, Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingman) gave the official Republican response.

Pushing back on some of the governor’s critique of the Repub-

lican record on education, Berger said, “Republicans have invested record-breaking sums in our state’s education system. Teachers have received pay raises for five consecutive years, and those raises were at or near the top in the entire country for three of those years.”

Much of Berger’s response was aimed at Cooper for allegedly not acknowledging the Republican role in the large economic growth in the state.

“That philosophy has guided eight incredible years of growth and progress under Republican legislative leadership, and it’s that philosophy that will continue to guide us moving forward,” Berger said. “Ef-

fective governing also means dealing in facts, not fanciful and unrealistic hopes and dreams, and certainly not lodging insults to distract from the merits of an issue.

And the facts of responsible Republican leadership are indisputable.

Under those policies, graduation rates are up, incomes are higher, taxes are lower, and more people work today in North Carolina than any other time in state history.”

Cooper was escorted into the chamber by a bipartisan delegation from both the House and Senate. Lt. Gov. Dan Forest, a Republican who is Cooper’s likely 2020 challenger in the North Carolina governor’s race, presided over the joint session.

Tillis is 2nd GOP senator to oppose Trump emergency declaration

By Alan Fram The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — North Carolina’s Thom Tillis on Monday became the second Senate Republican to promise a vote to block President Donald Trump’s declaration of an emergency at the Mexican border.

Tillis said Congress must defend its power of the purse and warned that a future Democratic president might abuse the power to advance “radical policies.”

He revealed his view a day before the Democratic-run House was set to vote to annul Trump’s emergency declaration, which he made Feb. 15. The declaration would give Trump access to billions of dollars beyond the nearly $1.4 billion that Congress approved to build segments of barriers along the boundary with Mexico.

While Republicans control the Senate 53-47, four Republican defectors joining all Democrats and their two independent allies would suffice for passage of the measure which requires only a simple majority. Trump has promised a veto and it seems all but certain that Congress won’t be able to muster the two-thirds majorities required to override a veto.

Even so, the votes are posing tricky decisions for GOP lawmakers from swing states, where Republican voters are divided between Trump loyalists and those with more moderate views. The only other Senate Republican to clearly declare a vote to block the emergency is Susan Collins of Maine.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, has said she is likely to oppose Trump’s emergency declaration.

In an opinion column posted late Monday by The Washington Post, Tillis wrote that while he agrees with Trump that there is a crisis at the border, he has “grave concerns when our institution

Tillis noted that Republicans complained when former President Barack Obama used executive powers to protect some immigrants in the U.S. illegally.

“There is no intellectual hones-

ty in now turning around and arguing that there’s an imaginary asterisk attached to executive overreach — that it’s acceptable for my party but not thy party,” he wrote. He said that as a conservative, “I cannot endorse a precedent that I know future left-wing presidents will exploit to advance radical policies that will erode eco-

nomic and individual freedoms,” such as restrictions on polluters, banks and guns.

Vice President Mike Pence was expected to attend Tuesday’s weekly lunch of Senate Republican senators in hopes of persuading them to vote to support the emergency declaration.

Jim Blaine talks races, hearings and business

By A.P. Dillon For the North State Journal RALEIGH — North State Journal caught up with North Carolina’s most influential “invisible man,” Jim Blaine, for a chat about some of the current political news.

On the 3rd Congressional seat recently left open by the passing of Walter Jones, Blaine said it was too early to say who the final field will be and he is curious to see who files on the Democratic side. Blaine mentioned Democrats Don Davis and Allen Thomas, the mayor of Greenville, as possible candidates.

“There are some potentially-credible Democratic candidates

“I cannot endorse a precedent that I know future left-wing presidents will exploit to advance radical policies that will erode economic and individual freedoms.”

in this special election where you’ve got this weird dynamic there where even though that district favors Republicans, it’s not an overwhelming sure thing in that district,” said Blaine.

The conversation shifted to the NC-09 hearings and the long hours of testimony with no shortage of bombshells.

“I mean, the way it’s been going...

It’s just like, every time you don’t think your jaw can get any further down on the floor, it does,” Blaine said about the hearings.

“It’s apparent to me that the state elections board has known that area of the state — in particular Bladen County — has been a prob-

lem for a while,” said Blaine. “And the big question to me is why haven’t they done anything about it?

And I’m not buying the ‘oh, we just couldn’t quite get it done’ excuse.

It sounds like the problems were so out in the open. Everything going on was being done in broad daylight.”

On the 2020 governor’s race, Blaine said he assumed there would be primary challengers on the GOP side, but questioned how “meaningful” those challenges would be.

Blaine’s former boss, Senate Pro Tempore Phil Berger, has been floated as a possible challenger to Lt. Gov. Dan Forest, who announced his exploratory commit-

tee last month. Blaine said that he hadn’t talked to Berger about it recently.

National politics used to trickle down to the state level in obvious ways, but Blaine says the big shifts in past elections just aren’t there right now.

“I don’t think there are many swing voters left,” said Blaine. “I don’t see any party running away with any elections anywhere on the ticket. I mean, I think you’re talking about 3 or 4-point races in every statewide election.”

“The biggest thing I’m watching is ...what’s interesting to me is what Democrat emerges to run for U.S. Senate,” said Blaine. “I think that’s

in McCarthy, R-Calif., said enough Republicans would support Trump’s emergency that the House won’t be able to muster the two-thirds majority required to override a veto. It would take 55 of the 197 House Republicans to join all Democrats and reach the 290 votes needed to override what would be Trump’s first veto.

“There’s an emergency along the border,” McCarthy said in a brief interview, describing the argument GOP leaders are using to tamp down Republican opposition.

Democrats and some Republicans have argued there is no border emergency and say Trump declared it simply to get around Congress.

By law, the Senate is supposed to vote on the measure within 18 days of receiving it from the House. But Congress has not challenged a president’s emergency declaration before and it is unclear if Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., will attempt procedural moves aimed at thwarting Democrats.

Asked in a brief interview what he would do, McConnell said, “We’ll see what comes over” from the House.

McConnell originally opposed having Trump declare an emergency, but said he would support it after Trump said he would sign the legislation this month that ended the record 35-day federal shutdown.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, a close adviser of McConnell, said in a brief interview that the Senate would vote on the emergency declaration sometime in the next three weeks.

the big, unanswered political question out there in North Carolina right now. Who is going to take on Thom Tillis?”

In terms of his new consulting business with Ray Martin called The Differentiators, Blaine said their focus right now was on corporate work, but didn’t rule out working for a campaign if the “right local opportunity came along.”

Blaine said issues like the current regulatory environment, tax code, healthcare and education are topics they are frequently asked about.

Personally, Blaine is enjoying life with his wife and young daughters. When asked how he was fairing surrounded by women at home, Blaine laughed.

“I tell everybody — Neville Chamberlain at home. Peace at any price,” Blaine said.

The teacher refused to allow Ray’s child into the classroom after arriving after class had already started at 8 a.m. The teacher cited school tardiness policy, at which point Ray began punching him in the head. The teacher suffered facial injuries, and his glasses were broken.

Harnett County Kanautica Zayre-Brown is believed to be the only post-op transgender prisoner in the state. Zayre-Brown is serving a nine-year sentence for insurance fraud. Despite having breasts, Zayre-Brown is considered a male inmate by the state and must shower in front of male inmates, leading to fears of an assault. ZayreBrown’s request to be moved to women’s housing was denied, but the Department of Public Safety is reviewing the case.

RALEIGH — Services are this week for North Carolina Democratic politician Frank Ballance, who served briefly in Congress and later went to federal prison for activities related to a charitable organization.

Family spokesman Carlton Pressley confirmed on Monday that Ballance died Friday at a Raleigh hospital, saying he didn’t survive after undergoing a procedure there. He was 77.

Ballance served over two decades in the state House and Senate, rising to the number two post in the Senate chamber.

He was elected to North Carolina’s 1st Congressional District seat in 2002, but resigned in June 2004, citing ill health.

Ballance pleaded guilty later that year to conspiring to divert taxpayer money to his family and others through a foundation he helped start while at the General Assembly.

Prosecutors said Ballance, during his time at the legislature, channeled $2.3 million in state money to the John A. Hyman Memorial Foundation, created to help low-income people fight drug and alcohol abuse. Ballance then diverted some of that money from its intended purpose, according to authorities, giving some of it to his children and to share with his mother for community

programs.

Ballance left prison in 2009 after more than three years behind bars. In a television interview after his release, Ballance said he was unfairly targeted by prosecutors and should have never served prison time.

A Bertie County native, Frank W. Ballance Jr. was an attorney who lived in Warrenton, about 55 miles north of Raleigh. He was among several black elected officials in northeastern North Carolina whose prominence grew over the past 40 years as civil rights legislation and rulings increased access to the levers of power.

U.S. Rep. G.K. Butterfield, who succeeded Ballance in the 1st District seat, said Ballance and his law partner gave him his first job out of law school.

“Frank was a voice for everyday North Carolinians, working tirelessly to elevate issues impacting our communities,” Butterfield said in a release. “Frank was a giant of a man and I am honored to have called him a friend.”

Ballance’s memorial service is set for Thursday evening at Elevation Baptist Church in Raleigh, followed on Friday by a funeral at Indian Woods Missionary Baptist Church in Windsor.

Pressley said Ballance, who was married, died on the same day as his mother-in-law. Her funeral is Tuesday.

Unsuccessful North Carolina Medicaid bidder appeals decision NSJ Staff RALEIGH — An unsuccessful bidder for North Carolina’s new managed-care initiative to cover most Medicaid patients has appealed state government’s decision to leave it out.

The group “My Health by Health Providers” filed its formal protest Monday with the Department of Health and Human Services. The organization is composed of 12 local hospital systems and New Mexicobased insurer Presbyterian Healthcare

Systems.

The organization blames DHHS for a “deeply flawed design and evaluation process” for leaving it out.

The department awarded contracts this month to four conventional insurers and one physician partnership. The cumulative contract values could reach $6 billion annually.

A “My Health by Health Providers” news release says its systems provide 80 percent of the state’s Medicaid hospital care and fit the legislature’s desire to offer in-state provider coverage.

When you’re building a healthier North Carolina, where do you start? Everywhere.

Improving a person’s health isn’t just between a doctor and patient. It’s also between a community and its members. That’s why Blue Cross NC is investing in innovative community programs across North Carolina. From tackling the opioid epidemic to making homes safer for children to filling the shortfall of health care providers, we’re addressing the social determinants—or root causes—of our health challenges.

My health care is too expensive!

Most Americans have a pretty good deal when it comes to health care coverage.

ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING THINGS about health care debates is how everyone believes they are “paying too much for health care!”

In reality, 98 percent of all Americans pay far less than the full actuarial cost of health care for them and their families. The only people who pay the full amount are 7.5 million self-employed who do not benefit from any subsidy on the ACA exchanges and who pay for their individual health plans straightup every month.

Everyone else has their health care subsidized by someone else, be it their employer that pays 82 percent of employee health care costs on average each month, or the taxpayer who pays 100 percent of Medicaid for poor citizens at the state and federal level; at least 85 percent of all Medicare costs for senior citizens and whatever subsidy is available for ACA-eligible applicants.

The wonder is how no one outside of the individual market seems to know how lucky they are when it comes to paying for health care in America.

The attached chart is a very simplified comparison of what Americans enrolled in different plans pay each month for their health care. It does not take into account the myriad options of coverage or the vast differential in deductibles or co-payments each person has to pay before getting full reimbursement coverage.

Seventy-four million poor people pay zero for their health care coverage in Medicaid since they do not make enough to be able to pay for it in the first place. State employees in North Carolina only recently started paying any monthly premiums at all in that $3.7 billion annual program that is paid by state tax dollars but now pay $50 per month for full individual coverage.

The average employee of a company, university or large institution of any sort pays approximately $120 per month for their share of health care premium cost coverage. The 44 million seniors over age 65 on Medicare pay $135 per month for basic Part B physician coverage (Medicare Advantage adds to that base) and receive Part A Hospital coverage for free essentially since those benefits are paid for by current payroll tax deductions from every wage-earner in America.

A federal employee pays $243 per month for health care insurance despite internet memes that assert federal workers and Congressmen get “free health care for life!” which is false.

The only people in the American economy who pay the full freight of the actuarial average cost of health care of more than $7,000 per person a year are the people who are self-employed or who work in small businesses that do not provide health care benefits.

They pay at least $600 per month for an individual plan — up to $2,400 per month in some cases for a couple.

When health care costs go up 5 percent, an employee of a large corporation

might see an increase of $5 in withholding for their health care coverage in each monthly paycheck. That’s $60 per year.

A person on an individual plan would see an increase of $360 per year by comparison.

Most Americans have a pretty good deal when it comes to health care coverage. As long as “someone else” keeps paying for most of the monthly premium, that is.

If people were forced to pay 75 percent of the real cost of their insurance coverage, we would see a massive revolution in how health care is delivered and paid for overnight.

The future unpaid-for liability of close to $100 trillion for all entitlements is enough to bankrupt America. Add in $33 billion in unfunded liability for the North Carolina state retiree health plan and it becomes pretty evident that we have a ticking time bomb on our hands that we, the living generation, have to fix before handing it off to our children and grandchildren.

Moving away from “other people paying for my health insurance coverage” to a more patient-based system is one step toward forcing discipline in the health care industry.

GUEST OPINION | STACEY MATTHEWS

The Bladen Co. fraud scandal is bipartisan

Not widely known is that Dowless himself was a longtime Democrat until 2016.

THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS about absentee ballot milling in Bladen County that pre-date the 2018 allegations against McCrae Dowless.

But what isn’t widely known about — nor reported on much — is how this long-running scandal also implicates Democrats.

A 2010 story by a Wilmington-based TV station profiled “the biggest player of all in the Bladen GOTV arena. It’s called the Bladen County Improvement Association (BCIA), and it’s been operating for at least 30 years.”

The story noted the BCIA had many high-profile Democratic party contributors, including former US Senator Kay Hagan. Members of the community, the news outlet reported, were “starting to question the motives and tactics” of the secretive group, who were said to give out sample ballots in the previous election cycle that were pre-filled out with the names of their regular contributors.

Fast forward to 2012 when an election protest form was filed against members of this Democratic PAC by…another Democrat. Robert Brooks was a candidate for the county commission, and he questioned witness signatures on some of the absentee ballots submitted for the May primary.

Among the signatures he questioned were some by Horace Munn, who was (and still is) president of the BCIA. Brooks also alleged some absentee ballot voters were promised compensation for their votes and that in other instances family members were filling out absentee ballots for other family members without them knowing about it.

Another protest was filed over this primary by another Democrat running for office. Matthew Dixon ran for state house district 22.

North State Journal writer A.P. Dillon wrote about these formal protests at her site in 2016. She noted the allegations were almost a mirror image of what Brooks alleged had happened in his own primary race.

Both claims were ultimately dismissed on insufficient evidence grounds, but in light of the 2016 and 2018 allegations of absentee ballot milling, people began to wonder if the 2012 claims should have been taken more seriously.

In 2016 during the governor’s race between Gov. McCrory and then-AG Roy Cooper, a protest was filed in Bladen questioning several hundred absentee ballots. What was alleged was a “massive scheme to run an absentee ballot mill involving hundreds of ballots, perpetrated by and through the BCIA PAC.” The protest was filed by Dowless. He ran for — and won — the nonpartisan race for Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor and filed

his protest the day before election day.

Several of the names of those alleged to have committed wrongdoing in his protest were also in the 2012 Brooks and Dixon protests. The allegations, too, were similar to the ones from 2012. Both referenced members of the BCIA PAC. Like the 2012 complaints, the Dowless protest was dismissed due to insufficient evidence, but Dowless implicated himself in the process, which put him more prominently on the Board of Election’s radar.

However, it also put the BCIA in their sights, too.

We heard next to nothing about this Democratic PAC after that until December 2018. Then, two Charlotte news stations reported on questionable activities the BCIA are alleged to have engaged in in 2018 that would be considered illegal under state law. The allegations included witness signature violations, workers filling out absentee ballots for voters after ballots were sealed, and workers collecting and turning in ballots.

Also not widely known is that Dowless himself was a longtime Democrat until 2016 and, according to the New York Times, he was “courted by Democrats & Republicans alike” to do work for their campaigns. In fact, half of his client list consists of Democrats.

While it’s not known how far back Dowless’s alleged absentee ballot milling machine ran, what’s clear he was an equal opportunity “votegetter” for candidates in both parties. Furthermore, it’s clear he and the Democratic BCIA operated in competition with each other for absentee by mail voters. Also, witnesses have been willing to go on the record with broadcast media outlets detailing suspicious activities by both that, if shown to be true, violate state law.

Everyone can agree the voters of Bladen County deserve better than the likes of Dowless. What everyone can’t seem to agree on, however, is how they also deserve better than the likes of the BCIA. Perhaps that has something to do with the fact that the BCIA’s largest contributor to date has been the NC Democratic Party.

To put it charitably, the Raleigh-area political media hasn’t been as aggressive in reporting on scandals involving Democrats and their affiliated groups over the years. The national outrage over the revelations about the widespread absentee ballot milling schemes that have plagued Bladen County will, hopefully, change that.

COLUMN | MICHAEL BARONE

Despite short-term ruckus, long-term progress on border

Mexico’s informal, offthe-books economy is much larger than America’s, its endemic public sector corruption more deepseated even than Chicago’s.

COMPROMISE reached. Donald Trump is going to build — his administration is said to be building already, with appropriated funds — the wall, er, barrier. Congressional Democrats have reportedly inserted provisions that make it easier for purported asylum seekers arriving with children to disappear and augment the illegal population.

Compromise unreached. Recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program haven’t received the legalization both sides say they should. Central Americans are still advised to drag their children on a dangerous journey through Mexico to the border. Border apprehensions in January were up sharply from those in 2018, indicating increased inflow but far below levels from 1992 to 2007.

But let’s take a longer look at this unsatisfactory compromise, the result of President Trump’s failure to get legislation from Republican congressional majorities, which is exacerbated by Democrats’ determination to humiliate him.

Trump campaigned against quarter-centurylong bipartisan policies toward Mexico, the NAFTA trade agreement and toleration of loose immigration enforcement. But as president, rather than reversing them, he has made relatively modest, arguably constructive changes.

That’s because those policies have had some success in reducing the economic and cultural gap between the United States and its southern neighbor. That was the goal of the policies’ prime architects, most of whom had Texas-Mexico border roots — the two George Bushes; former Senator and Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen; and Mexico’s 1988-94 president, Carlos Salinas.

Or so argues Andrew Selee, president of the Migration Policy Institute, in his recent book, “Vanishing Frontiers.” I think he overstates the convergence in entertainment and sports preferences. And he doesn’t convince me that the pessimistic fatalism of Mexico’s heavily Mesoamerican culture, noted by writers from Octavio Paz to Jorge Castaneda, has morphed into the optimism of Americans’ traditional belief in a connection between effort and reward.

Mexico’s informal, off-the-books economy is much larger than America’s, its endemic public sector corruption more deep-seated even than Chicago’s.

Selee is on solid ground, however, in describing how the two countries’ economies are tied together, and not just by auto supply chains.

There’s plenty of cross-border investment, with Mexican firms creating U.S. jobs and vice versa.

Then-President Enrique Pena Nieto’s 2013 reform has opened Mexico’s oil industry to U.S. investment, reversing its previous deterioration.

Electric grids and gas pipelines have been linked. Incomes are up, and nearly half of Mexicans, in Selee’s view, are solidly middleclass. Pickup trucks fill Walmart parking lots in

northern Mexico, just as in Texas.

This has had policy consequences. Candidate Donald Trump disparaged NAFTA and Mexico President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, inaugurated in December, made a career of Yanqui bashing. But AMLO (as he’s always called) allowed the outgoing Nieto to renegotiate.

Trump sought and approved, and only marginally changed and cosmetically renamed NAFTA. Any 25-year-old agreement could use some adjustments, and neither president dared to rip apart economies now so closely linked together.

AMLO has also been helpful to Trump on border enforcement, stopping some of the caravans of asylum seekers from Central America short of the border and making provision for some to stay in Mexico. The current border problems are due primarily to U.S. judge-made law, which Congress refuses to change and allows adults with no legitimate asylum claim — “a well-founded fear of persecution” — to use accompanying children as a get-out-of-detention card.

In any case, the resulting inflow of low-skill migrants, with possible wage-lowering effects, will be much smaller than that of Mexicans, legal and illegal, from 1982 to 2007. That inflow dropped suddenly, from hundreds of thousands annually to near zero comparatively. The housing market collapse and financial crisis, and resulting mortgage foreclosures and construction job disappearances, turned many Mexican immigrants’ dreams into nightmares.

Now we get more immigrants from India or China annually than from Mexico, and the small inflow is more highly educated than before 2007.

We have moved toward Trump’s proclaimed goal — more high-skill immigration, less lowskill immigration — without legislation. Trump’s extension and strengthening of current 600mile border barriers will contribute marginally to that, despite Democrats’ insistence walls are “immoral.”

And despite the hostility of university and media elites, assimilation seems to be advancing during this dozen-year slowing of Mexican immigration. As evidence, Selee cites increasing English fluency, and sociologist Richard Alba cites extensive intermarriage. I’d add that like the Ellis Island immigrants a century ago, and despite the efforts of Democrats obsessed with identity politics, Hispanic immigrants seem to lack an adversarial attitude toward America.

So despite angry rhetoric and an unsatisfactory compromise, there’s also reason for some longterm progress in narrowing the gap between two nations on each side of a border that’s been problematic since 1846.

ONE OF THE GREAT MYTHS in official Washington is that voters hate Congress but love their own representative in Congress. However, a ScottRasmussen.com survey found that 23 percent of voters think their own representative is the best person for the job. Thirty-eight percent believe others in the district are more qualified while 40 percent are not sure.

Political moderates are a bit less likely than either conservatives or liberals to believe their representative is the best person for the job.

The survey also found that 29 percent believe their own representative is more liberal than they are while 28 percent say more conservative.

Fifteen percent think they are represented by someone with similar views while 28 percent are not sure.

Hate crime hoaxes: The bad and the good JUSSIE SMOLLETT, “Empire” actor, claimed that on Jan. 29 that two masked men identifying themselves as Donald Trump supporters and using racial and homophobic insults attacked him. Smollett said the assailants yelled “This is MAGA country,” bashed his face, crushed his ribs, splashed him with bleach and put a noose around his neck.

Smollett’s telling of the hate crime was gobbled up hook, line and sinker by the anti-Trump news media, but Chicago police say it was a hoax. This type of hoax is part and parcel of the left’s broad agenda of victimology, fraudulence and gimmickry, plus gross media gullibility, incompetence and political attention seeking. What’s so troublesome is the fact that despite considerable evidence that the incident was a hoax, no apologies have been issued to either the public or the targets of their malfeasance — President Trump and the Americans who voted for him.

Racial hoaxes have been a major part of the leftist agenda going back decades.

In 1987, the Rev. Al Sharpton created the Tawana Brawley hoax, wherein four white men were falsely accused of rape.

For perpetrating the hoax, Sharpton was rewarded by receiving national recognition, millions of dollars and a career as a television/radio talk show host, and he ran for president in 2004. He also received 82 invitations to advise Barack Obama’s White House on matters of race.

Racial hoaxes have been a major part of the leftist agenda going back decades.

Most of the nation’s racial hoaxes take place on college campuses. Recall the 2006 Duke lacrosse rape case, in which three affluent white male Duke students were falsely accused of raping a black female stripper. Police exposed Bowling Green State University student Eleesha Long as a liar after she complained about being attacked by Trump supporters the day after his election. At Goucher College in Maryland, scrawlings depicted swastikas and also spelled out the N-word and the names of four black students — including the perpetrator. The Maryland police found out that the perp was a 21-year-old black lacrosse player seeking victimhood.

Nonetheless, the incident led to protests, demands for designated safe spaces and demands that incoming freshmen and transfers be required to take a “cultural competency” course.

The Daily Caller News Foundation has compiled some of the most outrageous hate crime hoaxes since Trump was elected.

The hate crime hoaxes include claims of attacks on Muslim men and women by Trump supporters. A bisexual woman falsely claimed that Trump supporters were sending her nasty notes. Most of the hate crime hoaxes have been committed by black students. Their charges include the posting of KKK signs, the sending of racist notes and the writing of racist graffiti on a black person’s door with the words “Go Home N——- Boy” and “Whites Only.” A black man was caught on camera spraypainting doors and vehicles with racial slurs, vulgar words and swastikas.

Even professors create hoaxes. Indiana State University professor Azhar Hussain sent bogus anti-Muslim emails to himself, according to police, “trying to gain sympathy by becoming a victim of antiMuslim threats which he had created himself.” He was arrested for filing a false police report.

Here’s the good news about the racial hoaxes on the nation’s college campuses: Left-wing college students have a difficult time finding the actual racism they claim permeates college campuses. Thus, they have to invent it. Though it has not been proved yet, these students may have support for their racial hoaxes by diversitycrazed administrators, who nationwide spend billions of dollars on diversity and a multiculturalist agenda. Racial discord and other kinds of strife are their meal tickets.

Black people, as well as homosexuals, should condemn these hoaxes, but so far, most have remained silent. If police are right that Smollett’s claims were a dastardly hoax, it will cause doubt to be cast on future real claims of assault based on race and sexual orientation. It also will have a negative impact on race relations.

This is not something to be taken lightly. If Smollett is found guilty of a felony as he is charged, he should suffer heavy penalties, including jail time. There’s a lesson to be learned from one of Aesop’s fables, “The Boy Who Cried Wolf.”

Munnerlyn, 30, played in 107 games during two separate stints with the Panthers over seven seasons and had eight career interceptions with a franchise-best five returns for touchdowns.

opponent in Florida State.”

The Pack already hit one milestone, winning its 20th game of the season last weekend, against Wake Forest. It’s the second straight 20-win season under Keatts, and the first time State has put together back-to-back 20win campaigns since doing it four years in a row, from 2012 to 2015.

“I think anytime you can get 20 wins in an NCAA season, it’s definitely a feat,” Dorn said. “Hopefully that is enough to get us in, but we still have a few more games to play for our resume to put ourselves in the best position come March.”

One more win in the last three will match last season’s 21 wins.

If the Pack wins two, it will have 10 conference wins for the second straight year, something that hasn’t happened in Raleigh since Jim Valvano’s teams in 1988 and 1989. The 21 ACC wins over two years would be the most since the two-year span ending with the 1974 national title.

State is near the bottom of the ACC’s clearly defined second tier.

After Duke, UNC and Virginia, who are playing for No. 1 seeds in the tournament, there is a group of five teams with eight-to-10 conference wins.

DURHAM — Once again, UNC and Duke renewed hostilities last Wednesday night in a game that attracted former presidents and future Oscar winners. And once again, the key takeaway from the teams’ first meeting of the season is that they need to play again to settle things.

The Tar Heels led wire-to-wire, building a 22-point lead at one point and cruising to a 16-point win over the nation’s No. 1 team.

It was a statement-making victory for Roy Williams’ UNC squad, who moved into a three-way tie at the top of the league. With Duke getting a huge share of national media attention, based on its pair of phenomenal freshmen, and Virginia looking to clear its name after last year’s NCAA flameout against UMBC, the big win put Carolina firmly in the national discussion and helped the Tar Heels stake their claim to a one-seed and an opening weekend in nearby Columbia, S.C. Plus, with 30 points and 15 boards from Luke Maye, as well as 26 from Cameron Johnson, it served as a reminder that Duke doesn’t have a monopoly on star power.

Except…

Except the win came with an asterisk — one that might be maddening to Tar Heel fans, but an asterisk, nonetheless.

Zion Williamson, the Duke freshman forward who is second in the ACC in scoring (to teammate RJ Barrett), third in rebounding, first in steals and the runaway national leader in Q rating, went down with a sprained knee, courtesy of a blown-out shoe, 34 seconds into the game.

“The preparation that you would have for the game is obviously based on the players being there, especially [Zion] and RJ, who are the key guys,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said.

So, impressive as Carolina’s win may have looked, it came against a Duke team that was missing the nation’s top NBA prospect and a short-lister for Player of the Year. Yes, UNC was also down a big man — backup center Sterling Manley — and freshman glue guy Leaky Black, but it’s safe to say even the most die-hard UNC fan would admit that Williamson’s absence had a bit more impact on Duke than the two UNC guys to sit out had on the Heels.

Williams, who might just be the biggest UNC die hard around, admitted as much, saying afterward, “It was a huge blow for them, and having that happen during the course of the game you don’t have time to prepare for it. I hated that part of it, because I think he’s such a wonderful kid. That was a huge blow for them.”

So, UNC’s win, Maye’s performance and the rest of the overall stellar night for the Heels shouldn’t be erased. Virginia and Syracuse both lost to short-handed Duke teams this season. Still, it remains to be seen how Williams and Maye would handle Williamson.

The injury, by all accounts, could have been worse.

NC State prepares for stretch run with key game at Florida State The Wolfpack is looking to boost its resume as the regular season winds down

By Shawn Krest North State Journal THE GOOD NEWS for NC State is that it should be favored in two of its final three regular season games. The bad news: The third game is the one the Wolfpack really needs to win.

Make no mistake, the Pack also needs victories in the home finale against Georgia Tech and on the road at Boston College.

Assuming State takes care of business in those two games, against teams with a combined 8-21 conference record, the Wolfpack will have one final chance to make an impression on the NCAA selection committee, Saturday at Florida State.

NC State will be coming off a midweek bye before playing the Noles. Although, after getting 25 points from Markell Johnson, a double-double from Torin Dorn and 14 from Jericole Hellems, the last thing the red-hot Pack might want to do it take some time off.

Towns and Joseph suffered only minor injuries.

Officials in Charlotte want to lure the CIAA Tournament back after it moves to Baltimore for three years, starting in 2021. CIAA Commissioner Jacqie McWilliams told reporters Monday that Charlotte would have to work to lower prices on hotels to stay competitive. In past years, the unsanctioned events accompanying the tournament have seen violence, but there were no major disturbances last year. The tournament’s economic impact has topped $50 million in recent years.

High school basketball playoffs feature plenty of storylines Undefeated teams, top college prospects look to cut down nets

By Shwn Krest North State Journal DEAN SMITH USED to like to say, “Basketball is not an undefeated sport.”

The Hall of Fame UNC coach said that, unlike football, basketball teams had to play multiple times a week, from late fall to early spring. They were much more likely to have an off night and suffer an upset loss.

Tell that to the teams at the top of the NCHSAA playoff brackets.

A half-dozen schools — two boys teams and four girls — enter the boys and girls playoffs with perfect records. That includes Farmville Central, whose boys are 26‑0 and the top seed in the East in boys 2A. The girls are also the East’s top seed in 2A with a 22‑0 record.

The Jaguars are the favorites to take home boys and girls titles in the same season — something that’s only been done 11 times by nine schools in North Carolina high school history and just once in the last decade (Kinston, 2013).

The women, in particular, have their hands full. Two of the other undefeated girls teams are also in 2A — N.C. School of Science and Math (29‑0, No. 4 in the East) and Mountain Heritage (23‑0, No. 1 in the West).

Here are some other storylines to follow as we prepare for the playoffs.

The undefeateds The Farmville Central boys open with Providence Grove, who, at 11‑13, is one of 96 teams with a .500 or losing record in the playoffs (48 boys teams, 48 girls). No. 2

On the boys’ side, all four of last year’s state champions are either one or two seeds. The girls’ champs fell further. State 4A champion Northwest Guilford is in the best spot, at No. 3 in the West. 3A champ Northern Guilford is at No. 21. 2A winner North Pitt is 22nd, and 1A’s Mount Airy is No. 10.

Kinston High Principal Angela Bryant dances at the school’s pep rally to celebrate the girls and boys basketball teams reaching the state championship game in 2013. Kinston is the last school to win both boys and girls titles in the same year, a feat being attempted this year by Farmville Central. Both of the Jaguars’ teams are undefeated heading into the postseason.

Greene Central and No. 3 Goldsboro will be the biggest challenge in the East. In the West, top seed East Lincoln (25‑2) and two‑seed Forest Hills (24‑2), the defending state champions, are the top contenders.

Southwest Guilford finished the regular season at 26‑0 and will be top seed in the West in 3A. The Cowboys are led by the brother tandem of Kobe and Keyshaun Langley, seniors who are headed to UNCG next year. Defending champion Cox Mill (24‑2) is the two‑seed. In the East, 25‑1 Hillside is on top, followed by second-seeded Northern Nash (24‑1).

In addition to the three unde-

feateds packing the girls 2A bracket, East two-seed Bertie (23‑2) and West No. 2 Salisbury (22‑4) are worth watching.

The only other girls’ undefeated is Weldon, 21‑0 but only a six‑seed in the girls 1A East. Pamlico County (23‑2) and East Carteret (18‑3) are atop their region, while the West features East Surry (22‑2) and Avery County (18‑6).

Other top seeds In Boys 1A, the top seed in the East is 22‑2 Washington County, followed by Henderson Collegiate (26‑2). The West is led by defending state champion Win-

ston-Salem Prep (21‑4), whose senior guard Chaz Gwynn is one of state’s top prospects, and Community School of Davidson (24‑3).

In 4A, Millbrook (24‑1) gets the top spot in the East, followed

by Wakefield (22‑4). In the West, North Mecklenburg (22‑3) is the top seed, led by Tristan Maxwell, one of the top junior prospects in the state. Defending state champion Independence (21‑6) is the two‑seed.

On the girls side, the top seed in the 3A East is E.E. Smith (26‑1), led by Wake Forest signee Alexandra Scruggs. They’ll have to get past No. 2 Southeast Guilford (22‑3) and the West’s top teams:

Krzyzewski said on the weekly ACC coaches teleconference that Williamson was working his way back and would be cleared to play soon, seemingly confirming that he would be returning to the team.

Drive Shack coming to Raleigh this summer

RALEIGH — Anyone that has driven along Interstate 40 between the N.C. 54 and Wade Avenue exits near PNC Arena recently has seen the poles.

They rise above the trees like missiles readying to be launched.

Only it’s not a top-secret military defense site. It’s a new golf facility, a fact that began to come into better focus once netting was attached to those ubiquitous poles.

Just don’t call Drive Shack a driving range.

According to Dan Godfrey, general manager of the company’s soon-to-be-opened Raleigh location, there’s a lot more to do there than just hitting a few balls or working on your swing after work.

“We’re really a multidimensional golf entertainment facility. That would be a good way to sum it up,” Godfrey said. “When you talk about the venue itself, obviously we are the coolest driving range in the history of mankind. But we have so many other things to offer.”

In addition to the three-story, 96-bay climate-controlled driving area — where players can practice in a traditional manner or challenge themselves in one of several virtual games — Drive Shack also offers a full-service restaurant, an arcade that’s included in the cost of membership, an outdoor bar and entertainment space for events, and corporate team-building activities.

The Raleigh Drive Shack will become the company’s second location once it opens this summer.

The other is in Orlando, Fla., which has been in operation for about a

Drive Shack, a climate-controlled facility that tries to bring a high-end arcade and bowling vibe to golf, is opening in Raleigh in the coming months. year. Further expansion is planned for West Palm Beach, Fla., Richmond, Va., New York City and New Orleans.

Though indoor, multistory “golf arcades” are hardly a new idea, having been popularized in Japan decades ago, Drive Shack and its competitor TopGolf have added a new dimension to the concept by combining a sports activity with a social event.

“We’re not going to say we invented Coca-Cola. But we’re definitely inventing Pepsi,” Godfrey said. “We understand the need to give people a fun place to go that involves exercise and having a good time no matter what the weather.

It’s like bowling, only its outdoors because we only have three walls.”

Those three walls will contain seating for up to six people and several television monitors, as well as other amenities — including a “bay caddie” available to attend to all the players’ needs.

The hitting areas will be equipped with a computer that can analyze things such as swing speed, launch angle and ball speed to determine exactly what the ball will do and how far it will carry based

on the way it is struck. It’s similar to the tracking technology used on the broadcasts of PGA Tour events.

“It’s pretty remarkable stuff,” Godfrey said.

Inside the poles and its netting on the range itself are a series of targets that allow serious players to work on their accuracy while giving the more casual golfer an opportunity to play one of four interactive games.

There’s S-H-A-C-K, a variation of basketball’s H-O-R-S-E, ShackJack, which is based on the card game 21, DS Classic and Monster Hunt, a game in which players try to hit fictitious monsters that bounce around the field in order to save a princess in her castle.

In addition to those games, there are five virtual courses on which players can play a full 18hole round in about half the time it takes to play on a traditional course. Regardless of the weather.

A PGA professional will also be on site to provide lessons, clinics and other instruction.

“We have a lot of different elements to our technology,” Godfrey said. “We have games that are for all ages. With the courses them-

selves, you can play an entire tournament with 144 players in our facility, or you can just play a round with your buddy and you can do it in about 90 minutes or so.”

While golf is the primary focus of Drive Shack, Godfrey said that the innovative company is open to all potential ideas — including a sportsbook as legal gambling becomes more mainstream.

“We think and look at everything the climate and the culture of the world we live in is gearing towards,” Godfrey said. “There are also a lot of great things going on with esports. We’re aware of the things that are occurring. We’re young and we’re pliable, so we’ll adapt to whatever situations become available to us.”

Including an unintentional advertising strategy centered around some large poles rising above the tree line.

“The poles are the biggest marketing piece we have. They catch a lot of attention,” Godfrey said.

“We love the fact that it gets people thinking and asking what is coming. When they find out and see how cool everything really is, it gets them even more excited.”

games. That option doesn’t appear to be on the table for Williamson.

The injury has given Duke the opportunity to make some lineup changes. Guard Alex O’Connell replaced Williamson in the starting lineup and responded with 20 points on 5-of-8 shooting from three. Krzyzewski also played Joey Baker, a freshman shooter who had sat out the first 26 games of the season, seemingly for the purposes of being redshirted.

The two moves seemed to address what has been Duke’s biggest flaw this season — poor outside shooting. Duke’s .306 accuracy from three ranks 329th out of 353 Division I teams.

If O’Connell and Baker can provide an outside threat, it would free up Barrett to slash and attack.

In Duke’s losses, he has tended to shoot, and miss, from outside in an effort to spark the team. He went 3-of-11 from three against

UNC as Duke took more 3-pointers than twos.

Barrett and Williamson will still take the lion’s share of Duke’s shots, but with Barrett moving toward the basket, the move will help reduce Duke’s reliance on the three while simultaneously making the team more consistent from out there.

Will it work? Much like the early returns on the Tar Heels, it remains to be seen.

In addition to the Langley twins, the boys 3A brackets feature several top college prospects.

Ricky Council IV is a highly rated junior, but his Northern Durham squad is just 10‑16, a No. 29 seed.

Silas Mason, another top‑10 junior, is with No. 19 Ben L. Smith (13‑12).

Cox Mill, the two‑seed in the West, has two committed seniors in Wendell Moore (Duke) and Caleb Stone‑Carrawell (Charlotte).

In addition to Maxwell in 4A, FSU signee Patrick Williams leads sixth-seeded West Charlotte (20‑6). East No. 5 Holly Springs (19‑4) features Virginia signee Kadin Shedrick. No. 3 South Central has junior Day’Ron Sharpe, who has committed to UNC. On the women’s side, outside of Scruggs, the prospect to watch is likely Nia Daniels. The UNC signee is on 4A West 10‑seed Hickory Ridge (22‑4).

NC STATE from page B1 ginia remaining. Syracuse also played UNC Tuesday night, after press time, so if State wins out, it could easily leapfrog both of those teams.

Virginia Tech and Florida State each have 10 wins, two ahead of State, and play each other once more. The Hokies played Duke on Tuesday, after press time, and also have a game against Miami. The Noles’ third game is against Wake Forest.

Should the Hokies beat FSU and lose the other two, a Wolfpack win over the Noles would move the Pack into a tie for fourth in the league.

More important than the position in the regular-season standings is the impression on the selection committee.

State’s December win over Auburn is the lone Quadrant I win for the Wolfpack. Those wins — over a top 30 team at home, top 50 at a neutral site or top 75 on the road, are the ones emphasized most by the selection committee.

NC State has dominated Quadrant II, III and IV teams, posting a combined 19-1 record, including 6-0 against Quadrant II. The topshelf opponents have given the Pack fits, however.

State has lost its other seven shots at a Quadrant I foe this year: at Wisconsin, Louisville, Duke and UNC, and home against UNC, Virginia and Virginia Tech.

The first four of those losses were by eight points or fewer, including taking Virginia to overtime. Recently, however, the Pack has struggled against top foes, losing by 23 points to Virginia Tech in a game where the Wolfpack only scored 24, then dropping games at Carolina and Duke by 17 and 16.

The other four teams in the ACC’s second tier, all of whom are presumably jockeying for NCAA seeding position, have all done significantly better in Quad I games: Virginia Tech: 3-6 (2 remaining) Florida State: 5-4 (1 remaining) Syracuse: 3-5 (3 remaining) Louisville: 4-9 (1 remaining) NC State: 1-7 (1 remaining) Florida State will be the final Quadrant I game on the Pack’s schedule. A victory by NC State would be a late statement to the committee by the Wolfpack.

“Every win is important down the stretch,” Dorn said. “So winning as many games as possible is really of utmost importance to us.”

Team chemistry key Greensboro welcomes to Hurricanes’ decision American Cup gymnastics to stand pat at deadline With two years until 2020, Olympic hopefuls converge on North Carolina

Carolina made no NHL deals Monday, opting to stick with their “tight-knit” group

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal

By Cory Lavalette North State Journal RALEIGH — Heading into Monday’s 3 p.m. NHL trade deadline, the Carolina Hurricanes were part of a four-team bunch battling for three playoff spots and separated by one point.

The Columbus Blue Jackets did more than any team in the league, opting to keep star winger Artemi Panarin and two-time Vezina Trophy-winning goalie Sergei Bobrovsky — both set to be unrestricted free agents this summer — while adding top center Matt Duchene and winger Ryan Dzingel from Ottawa, rugged defenseman Adam McQuaid from the Rangers, and even goalie insurance by nabbing Keith Kinkaid from New Jersey.

The Penguins — who made their big move earlier in the month, acquiring Nick Bjugstad and Jared McCann from Florida on Feb. 1 — attempted to shore up their banged-up defense with Erik Gudbranson and Chris Wideman.

And Montreal restructured their bottom six forwards with three moves throughout the month, highlighted by trades for Dale Weise and Nate Thompson, and culminating with the addition of Jordan Weal from Arizona on deadline day.

The Hurricanes got Nino Niederreiter back in mid-January, but they opted not to gamble on Monday.

Instead, they’re betting on themselves.

“At the end of the day, we went into the day liking our team, and we’re going to end today liking our team just as much because what these guys have been through and what they’ve accomplished this far,” Hurricanes GM Don Waddell said Monday afternoon after the team’s only move was shipping our prospect Cliff Pu for Tomas Jurco — whose AHL contract prevents him from being recalled.

The biggest thing the Hurricanes did Monday was what they didn’t do — trade pending UFA Micheal Ferland.

History will dictate whether keeping Ferland — who is reportedly asking for $6-7 million annually on a long-term deal — was the wise move, but Wayne Simmonds, a comparable player, landed Philadelphia only bottom-six forward Ryan Hartman and a conditional midround pick.

Given that Carolina was asking for more than that, the team opted to keep Ferland — but the decision went down to the final minutes before the deadline.

“We told teams all along that if there’s a deal we couldn’t say no to, we would talk and look at it,” Waddell said. “But at the end of the day,

JULIO CORTEZ | AP PHOTO

The addition of Nino Niederreiter minimized the Hurricanes’ need to be buyers ahead of Monday’s NHL trade deadline. there was nothing that made sense for us trade Micheal Ferland.”

Ferland’s production has dried up a bit of late — during the team’s torrid 18-6-1 run since Dec. 31 and heading into Tuesday’s home game against the Kings, he has five goals and 13 assists in the last 29 games — but his physical presence is certainly welcome with all three of the aforementioned teams beefing up their toughness ahead of the deadline, as well as Tom Wilson still lurking in Washington.

“But we look at it, if we were going to trade Micheal, that we’d have to go out and replace that player,” Waddell said. “And the rental players that were all out there, we didn’t see that type of player.”

One player they didn’t have to replace — at least not anymore — was Jordan Staal, who got back in the lineup for Sunday’s 3-0 win in Dallas after missing nearly two months due to a concussion.

With Ferland staying, Staal returning and Niederreiter — who has nine goals and 15 points in his first 16 games with Carolina — all in the fold, it made spending assets for an unknown property less of a necessity.

“As important as adding a player is sometimes not; because of that — the chemistry factor,” coach Rod Brind’Amour said following Monday’s morning skate. “This group, as we’ve seen from Day 1, is pretty tight-knit and they play for each other as well as any team. So I think that’s been our strength.

And why would you want to mess with that?”

Waddell and the Hurricanes’ brain trust didn’t, and now they’ll wait and see if the season’s final 20 games can end the franchise’s nine-year playoff drought.

“Whenever you’re talking about adding pieces, you want to make sure those pieces can fit in that locker room, but also having pieces you’re taking out of the locker room, how it’s going to affect the guys?” Waddell said. “So we believe in this team, and that’s why we stuck with them. And we’re going to move forward like this.”

OF ALL THE STARS that are born at the Summer Olympics every four years, none shine brighter than the medal winners in gymnastics. But because of the cyclical nature of their sport, even the most celebrated of those athletes don’t become well known until the months leading up to the Games.

Though it’s still too early to determine who the media darlings of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics will be, fans in North Carolina will have a chance to see some of the top candidates this weekend when the American Cup competition is held at Greensboro Coliseum.

The main event, an all-around competition featuring some of the top men’s and women’s gymnasts in the world, is scheduled for Saturday afternoon. Two other events showcasing rising American stars — the Nastia Liukin Cup for women and the Elite Cup for junior elite men — will be held on Friday and Sunday.

Ticket packages for the three days of competition are available, with single-session tickets starting at $59 for the American Cup, at the coliseum box office or through ticketmaster.com.

“The American Cup is a major World Cup event and the majority of the countries are sending gymnasts who are considered

as potential team members for next year’s Olympics,” said Leslie King, vice president of communications for USA Gymnastics.

“The strong field includes a mixture of seasoned veterans and rising stars, all shooting to win the all-around titles.”

Among the brightest of those rising stars is 2018 junior allaround champion Leanne Wong.

The 15-year-old from Overland Park, Kan., will be making her debut on the senior circuit — where she will be joined on Team USA by another talented teenager, 2018 world team gold medalist Grace McCallum of Isanti, Minn.

Among the top names on the men’s side are two-time world bronze medalist Sam Mikulak of Colorado Springs, Col., and defending American Cup champion Yul Moldauer of Arvada, Col. Gymnasts from China, Japan, Ukraine, France, the Netherlands, Great Britain and China are also expected to compete in both the men’s and women’s events.

Invitations to compete in the American Cup, which became a FIG all-around World Cup event in 2011, are based on team results from the 2018 World Championships in Doha, Qatar.

“The strong international field includes two-time Olympian and world silver-medalist Ellie Black of Canada; 2017 European Championships allaround bronze medalist James Hall of Great Britain; 2018 world all-around silver medalist Mai Murakami of Japan; and fivetime world gold medalist Kenzo Shirai of Japan,” King said. “The men’s and women’s roster also in-

cludes 2016 Olympians Christian Baumann of Switzerland, Bart Deurloo of the Netherlands, and Petro Pakhniuk of the Ukraine, two-time Olympian Kim Bui of Germany and 2014 Youth Olympic Games two-time silver medalist Ma Yue of China.”

The American Cup is an allaround competition, which means the men compete on all six apparatus (floor exercise, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars and high bar) while the women compete on four (floor exercise, vault, uneven bars and balance beam). The male and female gymnasts with the highest total score at the conclusion of the event win the titles.

This is the second time the American Cup and Nastia Liukin Cup have been held at Greensboro Coliseum, with the first coming in 2014. The Gate City has become a popular venue for top gymnastics events in recent years, also serving as host for the 2015 and 2018 USA Gymnastics Championships.

“The Greensboro Coliseum Complex, Greensboro Area Convention and Visitors Bureau have been and continue to be great partners,” King said. “The local gymnastics community is also very supportive, and the local hospitality is always great.

Greensboro is gymnastics central this week.

“We hope the Greensboro community will come out to watch and cheer on the athletes. There is something for everyone — from the country’s rising stars to some of the world’s best who are contenders to represent their country at the Olympic Games.”

Recession by 2020?

Roughly half the nation’s business economists say they think the U.S. economy will slip into recession by the end of next year, and most see one by 2021. The finding comes from the latest survey by the National Association for Business Economics of its member economists.

While 10 percent of them say they foresee a recession beginning this year, only 11 percent expect the economy to avoid a recession through 2021.

NC Commerce awards more $4.1 million for rural economic development Approved Logos

The North Carolina Rural Infrastructure Authority (RIA) approved 11 grant requests to local governments totaling $4,127,500, N.C. Commerce Secretary Anthony M. Copeland announced last week.

The requests include commitments to create a total of 460 jobs, 307 of which were previously announced.

The public investment in these projects will attract more than $69 million in private investment.

“Smart investments in infrastructure are essential to strengthening rural North Carolina communities,” Secretary Copeland said. “By awarding these new grants, the Rural Infrastructure Authority continues to help these communities prepare for economic development that creates good jobs.”

The North Carolina Department of Commerce’s team of rural economic development professionals supports the RIA’s work. RIA members review and approve funding requests from local communities. Funding comes from a variety of specialized grant and loan programs offered and managed by N.C. Commerce’s Rural Economic Development Division, led by Assistant Secretary for Rural Development Kenny Flowers. Grants can support a variety of activities, including infrastructure development, building renovation, expansion and demolition, and site improvements.

Recipients include cities and towns across North Carolina, with funds designatied for the rehabilitation, renovation and expansion of existing buildings and facilities, as well as infrastructure improvements and flood damage mitigation projects.

U.S. manufacturing group makes stops in North Carolina In nationwide tour, organization highlights industry’s strengths and opportunities

By David Larson North State Journal MEBANE — Jay Timmons, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, America’s largest trade association for manufacturing, made stops in North Carolina during their fifth annual “State of Manufacturing” tour. This year’s tour has stops in North Carolina, Colorado, Texas, Ohio, Iowa, Minnesota, California and Arizona after a year which NAM calls its “best year in more than two decades for manufacturing job creation.”

Timmons and his team visited ABB in Mebane and Johnston Community College’s Workforce Development Center for a roundtable with the North Carolina Chamber of Commerce.

While touring ABB, which creates robotics used in manufacturing, NAM leaders, along with local students and employees, discussed what is attractive about these jobs.

Some students were surprised to hear that the workers had been in the jobs for over 30 years and had stayed because the jobs were stable, well-paying and exciting. The workers told visitors that they saw the technology involved as something that will save their jobs and keep them competitive rather than something that is a threat to their jobs.

“It’s a false narrative that technology is costing jobs,” Timmons told North State Journal. “It’s actually creating employment opportunities all across the country in manufacturing. Of all the plant tours I’ve done, I’ve never seen some of the things I saw at ABB. They are doing some really cool things.”

A major focus of the tour is to spread the word to young people that if they are looking for a great career path, they should look to-

wards manufacturing.

Carolyn Lee, executive director for the Manufacturing Institute, NAM’s education workforce partner, joined Timmons on the North Carolina visit. Lee runs multiple programs in the institute with a mission of making people aware of the more than 428,000 jobs that are open in manufacturing. The institute says its research has found that this gap will grow to 2.4 million jobs in the next 10 years. To avoid the growth of unfilled positions, more skilled workers need to be drawn to the industry.

Part of what will draw a lot of “very brilliant people,” Timmons said, is that they can begin well-paying careers in manufacturing straight out of high school or with a quick community college training program and not have to go deeply in debt for a college degree with no guaranteed job on the other side.

“So, part of this tour’s purpose is for recruiting,” Timmons said. “We want people to know about these jobs and that they are higher paying than other sectors. In fact, in North Carolina, manufacturing workers average about $69,000, and that’s compared to only $43,000 in all areas of the economy.”

In North Carolina, Timmons said NAM has seen an especially high demand for software developers, first-line supervisors and engineering technicians from his member companies.

“North Carolina is a very strong state when it comes to manufacturing, and a lot of that is because of the policies that have been put in place over the years by various governors and legislatures,” Timmons told NSJ. He also credits positive national trends to government policy and has been “really impressed with what the administration has been able to get done,” regarding President Trump’s campaign promises on bringing manufacturing back to the United States and renegotiating trade.

Areas he said domestic manu-

Jay Timmons, president of the National Association of Manufacturers facturers have especially benefited from include intellectual property protection and redoing trade deals like the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement and with regards to China.

“When it comes to China, China cheats,” Timmons said. “United States manufacturers have spent the last 25 years trying to work around their uncompetitive activities, like counterfeiting. Frankly, it’s been a rough ride for a lot of manufacturers. We’re never a fan of tariffs, because tariffs drive up the cost of doing business, but this is the first president in decades to get China’s attention.

“Tax reform and regulatory certainty have really supercharged manufacturing in the United States,” Timmons said.

Among NAM’s 14,000 members, 90 percent report an optimistic look on the future because of removing these hurdles. Next they plan to address some of the infrastructure concerns that will help get their products to market.

Internationally, he said they will focus on opening up more markets because 95 percent of the world’s consumer-base is outside the borders of the United States.

Statesville Theatre presents “The Diary of Anne Frank” The theater scene in North Carolina just keeps getting better and better with each passing year. In 2019, to say there is something for everyone and every taste is a huge understatement.

Whether you’re a fan of Broadway productions, musical theater, comedies or drama, the opportunities to experience excellent theatrical entertainment throughout the state have never been more evident.

The public power community of Statesville is no exception. Theatre Statesville, a volunteer-based, nonprofit theater company dedicated to providing affordable, live, quality theater to patrons of the arts, is set to present one of the most famous and haunting stories of the 20th Century: “The Diary of Anne Frank.”

C2 Bennett College sues to keep accreditation after lost appeal Greensboro One of the two remaining historically black private women’s colleges in the United States is suing to keep its doors open after losing its appeal to have its accreditation restored.

Bennett College filed a federal lawsuit Friday, the same day the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges announced it would uphold its decision to revoke the North Carolina school’s accreditation.

Bennett president Phyllis Worthy Dawkins tells news outlets a federal judge in Atlanta granted a temporary restraining order, preserving Bennett’s accreditation while the court case continues.

Dawkins says her team was “devastated” with the appeal’s outcome, having raised $9.5 million to prove Bennett could survive financially. That’s nearly twice their fundraising goal. Bennett has also applied for accreditation from the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools.

Trump Org donates nearly $200k to cover foreign profits New York President Donald Trump’s company said on Monday that it donated nearly $200,000 to the U.S. Treasury to make good on its promise two years ago to hand over profits from foreign governments using its properties. The Trump Organization said a check for $191,538 sent to Treasury represents profits from embassy parties, hotel stays and other foreign government spending at its Washington hotel and other properties last year. The voluntary donation is up from $151,470 sent a year ago to cover the president’s first calendar year in office. Trump announced the donation plan before his inauguration two years ago in response to criticism that in refusing to sell off his business, people would suspect his decisions in office would be influenced by spending at his properties and not necessarily reflect the public interest. In addition to Treasury donations, Trump agreed not to strike any foreign deals for his business while in office, and to hire an outside counsel to vet any domestic deals for possible conflicts of interest.

GE sells biopharma unit for $21 billion Boston General Electric is selling its biopharma business to Danaher Corp. for $21.4 billion as it continues to sell off chunks of a once sprawling conglomerate. The biopharma unit, part of GE Life Sciences, generated revenue of about $3 billion last year. Danaher said after tax benefits, the deal will have a price tag that is closer a $20 billion. The mostly-cash transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year. Danaher, a medical technology company based in Washington, D.C., said GE’s biopharma segment will operate as a separate company within Danaher’s $6.5 billion Life Sciences division. GE has shrunk considerably since becoming entangled in the financial crisis a decade ago and is seeking to divest even more of its businesses. Last fall, GE sold part of its Healthcare Equipment Finance business to TIAA Bank and agreed to sell its Current, powered by GE business — part of the company’s lighting business — to American Industrial Partners. The company’s shares have risen about 34 percent since the beginning of the year, but are still down almost 30 percent from a year ago.

Relief swept across world financial markets Monday after President Donald Trump pushed back a March 2 deadline in a trade dispute with China. But the respite might not last.

Another ceasefire: Can the US and China end their trade war?

By Paul Wiseman and Darlene Superville The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Relief swept across world financial markets Monday after President Donald Trump pushed back a March 2 deadline in a trade dispute with China.

But the respite might not last.

The world’s two biggest economies have squared off over Beijing’s aggressive campaign to turn Chinese companies into world leaders in advanced industries such as robotics and electric vehicles. Both sides have said they’ve made progress but haven’t provided much detail.

“Popping the champagne today would be premature,” Gregory Daco, chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics, wrote in a research note.

Daco added that vast differences between the two countries “will prevent a significant de-escalation of trade tensions between the two giants.”

In the United States, business groups and lawmakers fear that Trump will settle for a deal that doesn’t require China to change its sharp-elbowed business practices.

A look at the dispute: What are the U.S. and China fighting about?

The United States accuses China of deploying predatory tactics in a headlong push to challenge American technological dominance. These, the U.S. says, include: outright theft of trade secrets, forcing foreign companies to hand over technology as the price of access to the Chinese market,

and unfairly subsidizing Chinese tech companies and using regulations to hobble their foreign competitors.

The accusations elevate the standoff from a typical trade dispute to a battle over whether the United States or China dominates the industries of the future, the outcome of which has implications for national security.

Trump is also obsessed with America’s massive trade deficit with China, $336 billion in 2017 and likely higher last year.

Critics complain that the administration has been inconsistent about what it wants — sometimes demanding sweeping changes in Chinese economic policy, sometimes seeming willing to settle for China just buying more American stuff to narrow the trade deficit.

Robert Daly, director of the Kissinger Institute on China and the United States at the Wilson Center think tank, said he would be disappointed if the Trump administration settles only for more exports to China and vague promises to make structural reforms.

“The Trump administration could have had that in week one,” Daly said.

What’s happened so far?

In July, the Trump administration gradually began slapping import taxes on Chinese goods to pressure Beijing into changing its policies. It now has imposed 10 percent tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese imports and 25 percent tariffs on another $50 billion.

Twice, Trump has pushed back plans to raise the tariffs on the $200 billion to 25 percent. He extended a Jan. 1 deadline by three

months after meeting Chinese President Xi Jinping in Buenos Aires Dec. 1. And on Sunday, following meetings last week between U.S. and Chinese negotiators, he delayed indefinitely the tariff hike that was scheduled to kick in at 12:01 EST March 2.

The U.S. is also restricting Chinese investment in high-tech American industries and U.S. exports of sensitive technology to China.

Meanwhile, the Chinese have punched back by slapping import taxes on $110 billion in U.S. goods, focusing on soybeans and agricultural products in a direct shot at Trump supporters in the American farm belt.

Forecasters at the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development have all downgraded their forecasts for the global economy, citing the heightened trade tensions.

Are U.S. and Chinese negotiators making headway?

They say they are but haven’t provided many particulars. Trump tweeted Sunday that negotiators had made “substantial progress” on issues including protection of intellectual property, coerced tech transfer, currency manipulation and U.S. access to the Chinese farm and services markets among “many other issues.” China’s official Xinhua news agency echoed that assessment.

Trump has said he would likely have to meet one-on-one with Xi — probably late next month at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida — to resolve the thorniest issues.

What happens next?

Trump sees the stock market as a measure of the success of his economic policies. Investors’ view is clear: When U.S.-China negotiations go well, American stocks rise.

When talks falter, they drop.

So the question is whether Trump, having taken U.S.-China economic relations to the brink, has the patience to hold out in the face of likely stock-market volatility for an enforceable deal that requires China to change its behavior. Or whether he’ll agree to more exports and promises of change.

“If the U.S. has already achieved quite a bit, and we are just clarifying the details of substantial Chinese concessions, then that’s not a huge concern,” said Scott Kennedy, a China expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “But if the U.S. has come away with very little in terms of binding commitments (after dropping the tariff deadline), then the chance of getting more in the coming weeks could be quite low.”

Daly at the Wilson Center faulted the administration for not imposing a new deadline. “They are expert at the use of time and delay until conditions have changed and leverage has been lost, to get a better outcome,” he said.

Trump has also alarmed Canada and critics by suggesting the U.S. might drop criminal charges against Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei and its chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, in a quest to cut a deal. The U.S. has charged Huawei with lying about violating sanctions against Iran and with stealing trade secrets. Canada arrested Meng Dec. 1 at America’s request and is weighing whether to extradite her to the United States. China arrested two Canadians in apparent retaliation.

Former Canadian Ambassador to China David Mulroney tweeted Monday that “it’s now the US that has to hang tough, and not sell out its integrity in Huawei case for a trade deal with China.”

‘Green Book’ wins best picture in an upset at the Oscars

By Jake Coyle The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — The segregation-era road-trip drama “Green Book” was crowned best picture at the 91st Academy Awards, delighting those who see the film as a feelgood throwback but disappointing others who ridicule it as an outdated inversion of “Driving Miss Daisy.”

In a year when Hollywood could have made history by bestowing its top award on Netflix (“Roma”) or Marvel (“Black Panther”) for the first time, the motion picture academy instead threw its fullest support Sunday behind a traditional interracial buddy tale that proved as popular as it was divisive. But Peter Farrelly’s “Green Book” weathered criticism that it was retrograde and inauthentic to triumph over more acclaimed films and bigger box-office successes.

It was an unexpected finale to a brisk, hostless ceremony that was awash in historic wins for diversity, including Spike Lee’s first competitive Oscar. More women and more individual black nominees won than ever before.

The Oscars otherwise spread awards around for Ryan Coogler’s superhero sensation “Black Panther,” Alfonso Cuaron’s black-andwhite personal epic “Roma” and the Freddie Mercury biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

It won’t be known until later Monday if the Oscars topped last year’s record-low viewership of 26.5 million. But early indications from big-city markets are that the audience will be bigger, which would be a significant relief to ABC and show organizers.

Lee, whose “Do the Right Thing” came out the same year “Driving Miss Daisy” won best picture, was among those most visibly upset by the award handed to “Green Book.” After presenter Julia Roberts announced it, Lee stood up, waved his hands in disgust and appeared to try to leave the Dolby Theatre before returning.

“Green Book” also won best supporting actor for Mahershala Ali and best original screenplay.

“The whole story is about love,” said Farrelly, a filmmaker best known for broad comedies like “Dumb and Dumber” and “There’s Something About Mary.” ‘’It’s about loving each other despite the differences and find out the truth about who we are. We’re the same

Backstage, Lee clutched a glass of champagne while reflecting on the 30 years between “Driving Miss Daisy” and “Green Book.” ‘’I’m snake bit,” he said, laughing.

“Every time somebody’s driving somebody, I lose!”

Lee’s win for best adapted screenplay for his white supremacist drama “BlacKkKlansman,” an award he shared with three co-writers, gave the ceremony its signature moment. The crowd rose in a standing ovation, Lee leapt into the arms of presenter Samuel L. Jackson and even the backstage press room burst into applause.

Lee, whose film includes footage of President Donald Trump following the violent white supremacist protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, urged mobilization for the upcoming election.

“Let’s be on the right side of history. Make the moral choice between love and hate,” said Lee, who was given an honorary Oscar in 2015. “Let’s do the right thing! You knew I had to get that in there.”

One of the biggest surprises of the night was in the best actress category. Olivia Colman won for her Queen Anne in the royal romp “The Favourite,” denying Glenn Close her first Oscar. Close remains the most-nominated living actor never to win, with seven nominations.

“Ooo. It’s genuinely quite stressful,” said a staggered Colman, who later turned to Close to say she was her idol, “and this is not how I

wanted it to be.”

The night’s co-lead nominee “Roma” won best director and best cinematography for Cuaron, whose film also notched Mexico’s first foreign language film Oscar.

Cuaron and his “Three Amigos” countrymen — Alejandro Inarritu and Guillermo del Toro, who presented Cuaron with best picture — have had a stranglehold on the category, winning five of the last six years.

Cuaron, who becoming the first director to ever win for serving as his own director of photography, referenced an especially international crop of nominees in one of his three acceptance speeches.

“When asked about the New Wave, Claude Chabrol said there are no waves, there is only the ocean,” said Cuaron, referring to the French filmmaker. “The nominees tonight have proven that we are a part of the same ocean.”

The wins for “Roma” gave Netflix its most significant awards yet, but “Green Book” denied the streaming giant the best picture win it dearly sought. Netflix remains to some a contentious force in Hollywood, since it largely bypasses theaters. The wins for “Black Panther” — along with best animated film winner “Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse” — meant the first Academy Awards for Marvel, the most consistent blockbuster factory Hollywood has ever seen.

The lush, big-budget craft of “Black Panther” won for Ruth Carter’s costume design, Hannah

Beachler and Jay Hart’s production design, and Ludwig Göransson’s score. Beachler had been the first African-American to ever be nominated in the category.

Beachler and Carter became just the second and third black women to win non-acting Oscars.

“It just means that we’ve opened the door,” Carter, a veteran costume designer, said backstage. “Finally, the door is wide open.”

Two years after winning for his role in “Moonlight,” Mahershala Ali won again for his supporting performance in “Green Book” — a role many said was really a lead.

Ali is the second black actor to win two Oscars following Denzel Washington, who won for “Glory” and “Training Day.” Ali dedicated the award to his grandmother.

“Bohemian Rhapsody,” which kicked off the ABC telecast with a performance by Queen, won four awards despite pans from many critics and sexual assault allegations against its director, Bryan Singer, who was fired in mid-production for not showing up. Its star, Rami Malek, won best actor for his full-bodied and prosthetic teeth-aided performance, and the film was honored for editing, sound mixing and sound editing.

“We made a film about a gay man, an immigrant who lived his life unapologetically himself,” said Malek who after the ceremony fell and was checked out by medics before making the rounds at post-show festivities. “We’re longing for stories like this. I am the son of immigrants from Egypt.

I’m a first-generation American, and part of my story is being written right now.”

Queen launched Sunday’s ceremony with a medley of hits that gave the awards a distinctly Grammy-like flavor, as Hollywood’s most prestigious ceremony sought to prove that it’s still “champion of the world” after last year’s record-low ratings.

To compensate for a lack of host, the motion picture academy leaned on its presenters, including an ornately outfitted Melissa McCarthy and Brian Tyree Henry and a Keegan-Michael Key who floated down like Mary Poppins.

Following Queen, Tina Fey — alongside Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph — welcomed the Dolby Theatre audience to “the one-millionth Academy Awards.”

Rudolph summarized a rocky

Oscar preamble that featured numerous missteps and backtracks by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences: “There is no host, there won’t be a popular movie category and Mexico is not paying for the wall.”

The trio then presented best supporting actress to Regina King for her pained matriarch in Barry Jenkins’ James Baldwin adaptation “If Beale Street Could Talk.”

The crowd gave King a standing ovation for her first Oscar.

The inclusivity of the winners Sunday stood in stark contrast to the #OscarsSoWhite backlash that marked the 2016 and 2015 Oscars. Since then, the academy has worked to diversify its largely white and male membership, adding several thousand new members and opening the academy up internationally. Still, this year’s nominations were criticized for not including a female best director nominee or a best-picture nominee directed by a woman.

Though the once presumed front-runner “A Star Is Born” saw its chances flame out, it won, as expected, for the song “Shallow,” which Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper performed during the ceremony. As she came off the stage, Cooper had his arm around Gaga as she asked, “Did I nail it?”

Best documentary went to Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin’s “Free Solo,” which chronicles rock climber Alex Honnold’s famed, free solo ascent of Yosemite’s El Capitan, a 3,000-foot wall of sheer granite, without ropes or climbing equipment. “Free Solo” was among a handful of hugely successful documentaries last year including the nominated Ruth Bader Ginsburg documentary “RBG” and the snubbed Fred Rogers doc “Won’t You Be My Neighbor.”

“Thank you Alex Honnold for teaching us to believe in the impossible,” said Vasarhelyi. “This film is for everyone who believes in the impossible.”

Adam McKay’s Dick Cheney biopic “Vice” won makeup and hairstyling for its extensive physical transformations. The category was one of the four that the academy initially planned to present during a commercial break and as its winners — Greg Cannom, Kate Biscoe and Patricia Dehaney — dragged on in a litany of thank-yous and were the first to have their microphone cut off.

To turn around ratings, Oscar producers pledged a shorter show.

In the academy’s favor was a popular crop of nominees: “Bohemian Rhapsody,” ‘’A Star Is Born” and, most of all, “Black Panther” all amassed huge sums in ticket sales.

Typically, when there are box-office hits (like “Titanic”), more people watch the Oscars.
