Democratic poll finds support for charter schools NSJ Staff RALEIGH — The results of a national poll released by Democrats for Education Reform shows strong public support for public charter schools among key sectors of Democratic party voters – especially with minority voters. The poll, conducted by the Benenson Strategy Group, was taken in 2018 but released in May 2019. According to the conservative John Locke Foundation, 20% of N.C. children attend a school that is not a traditional public school. Democratic Senators Dan Blue (D-Wake), Jay Chaudhuri (D-Wake) and Mujtaba Mohammed (D-Meck.) sponsored Senate Bill 247 in March to establish a moratorium on additional charter school expansion. The poll results showed that Black and Hispanic Democrats hold highly favorable opinions of public charter schools as opposed to White Democrats. The divide on support of charters was more than double, with 58% of Blacks and 52% of Hispanic voters approving of public charters versus only 26% of White Democrats. When asked how high a priority it having access to “a variety of public school options no mat-

ter where they live or how much money they have,” 89% of Black voters and 71% of Democratic primary voters said it was a high priority. A key voting block for Democrats is the millennial voter according to DFER and the poll reveals that those voters have an even higher support for public charter schools across all ethnic groups. Black millennial voters were at the top with 67% but Hispanic millennial voters were not far behind at 62%. A majority of White millennials, 58%, also support public charters. According to Democrats for Education Reform’s summary of the poll findings, “Progressive charter advocates have some work to do with White Democratic primary voters who expressed the lowest favorability for public charter schools.” The group also said that “views of White Democratic voters seem to be a significant political impediment to parents of color gaining access to high-quality public charter schools that best serve their children.” The poll also showed that school choice, including public charters, magnets, career academies and Montessori were supported by “every key Democratic constituency.”

Trump returns from Japan to DC snarls By Darlene Superville The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — Four days of fun and flattery in Tokyo are over for President Donald Trump. The sumo wrestling, golf and red carpet strolls gave way to the same Washington stew of political, policy and legal snarls that Trump never completely left behind during his four days in Ja-

pan, judging by his Twitter feed. Trump returned home Tuesday still in a running feud with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi while members of Congress, for their part, have largely cleared out of the steamy city for an extended Memorial Day recess. The past four days in Japan’s capital, by contrast, seemed tailor-made for Trump as Japanese See TRUMP, page A2

NC Senate releases 2019-20 budget $24 billion bill provides teacher and state employee raises By David Larson North State Journal RALEIGH — At a 10 a.m. press conference on Tuesday, Senate leaders presented an overview of their 2019-20 budget. The budget matches the overall spending goal of around $24 billion that the two chambers of the General Assembly agreed to in March. Gov. Roy Cooper’s budget proposal allocated $25.2 billion and has sharp differences that may have to be negotiated if legislators wish to avoid a veto from Cooper’s recently empowered veto pen. “North Carolina has been enjoying a boom decade under Republican budget and tax policies,” said Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) at the opening of the press conference. “More people work in this state than ever before, and they get to keep more of their money because of the tax policies. “Since 2014, when Republican tax policies took full effect here in North Carolina, employment, income per capita and GDP have all grown faster than the SouthSee NC SENATE, page A2

RALEIGH — Every time 28-year-old Poet Williams applies for a job, his arrest record comes up: three nonviolent misdemeanors. Those drug charges have followed the Durham resident since he was 21, barring him from jobs, apartments and opportunities. “I’ve put out so many applications trying to find a job,” he said. “Burger King wouldn’t even hire me.” Soon, however, he may be able to remove those offenses from his record. The state Senate unanimously passed legislation loosening the requirements to expunge a criminal record. Offenders could wipe out multiple nonviolent misdemeanor or low-level felony convictions, regardless of age, and the bill expands expunctions for misdemeanors and minor felonies committed by 16- and 17-year olds. Currently, only nonviolent, first-time convictions qualify. The bill was sponsored by Sens. Warren Daniel (R-Avery), Danny Britt (R-Robeson) and Floyd McKissick (D-Durham). The bill also automatically wipes away charges that resulted in a not guilty verdict or were dismissed. Countering decades of tough-on-crime legislation, North Carolina is among a growing number of states making it easier to wipe records clean. Crimes that require sex offense registration and traffic infractions couldn’t be expunged. “The Second Chance Act” measure now goes to the House, where organizers say it stands a good chance of passing. A similar House bill was introduced earlier in the session with 21 bipartisan co-sponsors. The act piggybacks off of legislation taking effect this December to raise the age for automat-

North Carolina was the last state to automatically prosecute 16and 17-year-olds as adults. Supporters say the expunction bill removes barriers and helps reintegrate former offenders into society — an issue that has gotten national attention. President Donald Trump signed the “First Step Act” into law in December. It aims to reduce recidivism and funds re-entry programs for formerly incarcerated people. In the past few years, Illinois, Kentucky, New Mexico, Virginia and West Virginia enacted laws easing barriers to expunction. Rebecca Pirius, a senior policy specialist for the National Conference of State Legislatures, said automation is one of the key factors to make the process easier. But automating the process requires the right technology, which

can be costly. “It’s coming to light recently that even when states expand expungement eligibility, people can’t take advantage of them because of the cost and procedure,” she said. “The process can be complicated.” In June 2018, Pennsylvania was the first state to pass a law that automatically seals arrests for unconvicted people. The law also expands the list of misdemeanors that can be sealed. Utah followed suit in March with a law that automates expunction for those who qualify. Other states considering automated expunctions are Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi and New Jersey. One of the biggest barriers in reintegrating offenders is obtaining jobs, according to Daniel Bowes of the liberal-leaning North Carolina Justice Center. “We’re trying to do everything

NC SENATE from page A1 east and faster than the country at large,” Berger continued. “We have record surpluses, higher graduation rates, bigger incomes and lower taxes. This budget continues those policies that have brought about North Carolina’s success story.” Republican Senate budget writers Sens. Harry Brown (R-Onslow), Kathy Harrington (R-Gaston) and Brent Jackson (R-Sampson) then laid out more details of the plan. According to Brown, the Senate budget would raise teacher pay an additional 3.5%, bringing the average teacher pay to $54,500. It would also create an incentive structure to attract “talented principals to low-performing schools.” These principals would receive an additional $30,000 annual salary supplement for taking positions at schools in the lower 5% in hopes they would improve performance. Cooper’s budget requests, released earlier in the month, proposed more than 9% in teacher raises and extra pay for those who have master’s degrees in the field they teach. “If we want our educators to teach well, we need to treat them well,” Cooper said in a state-

ment. “That means better pay, more opportunities to grow in their profession, and treating them like the professionals they are.” Over two years, the plan sets aside $1.1 billion to the state’s rainy-day fund, bringing the state’s reserves to a record $2.3 billion. This decision by the Senate’s budget writers was likely influenced by the announcement that the state’s revenue surplus is projected to exceed $640 million, a fact not known when the House was writing their budget proposal. Robert Broome, executive director of the State Employees Association of North Carolina, joined legislators at the announcement, a sign of good will from an organization that has often clashed with Republicans in the General Assembly. Brown announced the budget would provide 5% raises for most fulltime state employees and special incentives to correctional officers to make the most challenging placements more attractive. Medicaid expansion is one major area of difference between the governor’s budget proposal and both the House and Senate budgets. The governor recommended expanding the federally mandated, state-run pro-

gram to an additional 500,000 able-bodied adults. Asked by reporters about this potential sticking point toward a final budget, Berger cited the uncertainty of federal funding for the expansion, which might exist in the short term but may leave the state holding the bill down the road. He also said that because about 40% of those who would be eligible under an expansion already have access to subsidized private health insurance from the federal government, an expansion would eliminate their eligibility for that private coverage. “We’ve seen over the years real problems with the budget in terms of cost overruns, particularly in the Medicaid program, and it’s been our opinion that taking on that additional obligation to cover additional people is not something that makes fiscal sense for us,” Berger said. The Senate will now spend time in committees debating, amending and voting on this initial proposal. Both chambers will have to pass a final version before it is sent along to the governor for his signature or veto. A veto of the General Assembly’s budget would trigger difficult, and potentially lengthy, negotiations.

we can to get them jobs so they cannot reoffend,” he said. After his first misdemeanor at 18 for marijuana possession, Williams was able to have his record expunged. But he could no longer do so when he got two more drug-related convictions in 2011 when he was 21. Williams completed drug rehabilitation but said his record has cost him jobs and apartment rentals. He currently lives with his parents. After more than five years of fruitless job searching, he secured work with the nonprofit organization Forward Justice. “I know people who haven’t had jobs since high school because of charges on their record,” he said. “We don’t give them the opportunity to do better for themselves.” Without that opportunity, many may turn back to crime. Currently the state adult recidivist arrest rate hovers at 41% within two years of release for all offenders, according to a 2018 North Carolina Sentencing and Policy Advisory Commission report. Nationwide, recidivism arrest rates are around 68 percent within three years of release, according to a May 2018 U.S. Department of Justice report. At a news conference in May, Sen. Britt talked about the economic cost of locking offenders out of the job market. “This is absolutely a jobs bill,” he said. Among those hoping the bill passes is Raleigh resident Lynn Burke, who was 21 when she was convicted of felonies and misdemeanors related to bad checks. Now 56, she put herself through law school and successfully passed both the bar and a character and fitness hearing to get her law license in Washington, D.C. However, she didn’t pass her character and fitness hearing in North Carolina. Now, she works as a self-employed immigration lawyer because she said law firms wouldn’t hire her. If the bill becomes law, she plans to clear her record and apply for jobs. “I won’t have to work for myself all the time,” she said. “It’s going to change everything.”

SCOTUS upholds Indiana fetal remains law By Mark Sherman The Associated Press

MacKenzie Bezos pledges half her fortune to charity By Joseph Pisani The Associated Press NEW YORK — MacKenzie Bezos, who finalized her divorce from Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos earlier this year, is pledging to give away half her fortune to charity. The novelist said Tuesday that she signed The Giving Pledge, a campaign to get the ultra-wealthy to pledge at least half their fortune to charitable causes. It was created in 2010 by billionaire investor Warren Buffett and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and his wife Melinda Gates. Those who join can give away their money while they are alive or give instructions in their wills. They also decide where and how their money is donated. In a letter Tuesday, MacKenzie Bezos did not say how she plans to give her money away. The divorce leaves her with a 4% stake currently worth more than $36 billion in the online shopping giant.

“I have a disproportionate amount of money to share,” she said in her letter. Jeff Bezos, who hasn’t signed The Giving Pledge, tweeted his support: “MacKenzie is going to be amazing and thoughtful and effective at philanthropy, and I’m proud of her. Her letter is so beautiful. Go get ‘em MacKenzie.” The Bezoses, who have four children, first announced they were divorcing in January ahead of a National Enquirer story that revealed Jeff Bezos was having an affair with a former TV host. He later accused the tabloid’s publisher of threatening to publish explicit photos he sent to his lover unless he stopped investigating how the Enquirer obtained the private messages. The National Enquirer has denied the accusation. Jeff Bezos, who founded Amazon as an online bookstore more than two decades ago, has become the world’s richest man thanks to Amazon’s surging stock price. His

stake in the company after the divorce is worth more than $108 billion. He has wrestled with how to give away some of his fortune, asking his Twitter followers in 2017 for philanthropic ideas. Last year, he committed $2 billion to a charitable fund that will focus on opening preschools in low-income neighborhoods and donate money to nonprofits that helps homeless families. So far, he has given $100 million to that fund. In the past, he has also said that he sees his self-funded space exploration company Blue Origin and his purchase of The Washington Post newspaper as “contributing to society and civilization.” On Tuesday, The Giving Pledge said that MacKenzie Bezos was one of 19 new people or couples who joined the pledge, bringing the total number to 204. Others who have signed the pledge include Elon Musk, co-founder of electric car company Tesla, and oil baron T. Boone Pickens.

The reason why we remember on Memorial Day

"The worst moment of my life was when I was not allowed to be in the first wave at Normandy on D-Day."

MEMORIAL DAY has come and gone. Many people went to the beach which signifies the official beginning of summer. Others had cookouts with family and friends or attended baseball games. Less than 5% of Americans attended a parade, a memorial service or visited gravesites of fallen soldiers who gave their lives in defense of our freedom and way of life. Originally called “Decoration Day” after the Civil War because people would decorate the graves of soldiers with flowers, Memorial Day became an official federal holiday in 1971. Less than 500,000 of the 16 million Americans who served in WWII are still alive today. As revisionist historians try to expunge all of the good America has done in the world, younger generations need to be reminded time and time again about past heroism so they can pass it on to their children and grandchildren. Why did such heroes fight the Nazis and Japanese in World War II in the first place? One prime example was Coach Wallace Wade of Duke University for whom the football stadium is named. In 1941, Coach Wade had maybe the best job in college football. He was the “Coach Nick Saban of Alabama” of his time not only because of what he did at Duke but because he won three national titles by taking the Crimson Tide to three Rose Bowls in the 1920s to establish Alabama as the king of college football which they still rule today. He was of such stature that when the 1942 Rose Bowl was about to be canceled due to the attack on Pearl Harbor, he persuaded the Rose Bowl committee to move it to Durham, the only place outside of Pasadena it has ever been played.

After Duke lost to Oregon State 20-16, virtually all of the players enlisted in the military within 30 days. They were 18 to 23 years old. So did Coach Wade. He was 48 at the time. Think Nick Saban leaving LSU to volunteer for duty in Afghanistan at the time; everyone would have thought he was nuts. Why did Coach Wade do that? He didn’t have to give up a great job and go to war. The upper age limit for the draft was 37. He was 11 years over the limit. No one would have begrudged him for not serving if he stayed at Duke to coach during the war so that fans could get some respite on fall afternoons from the dreary war news of the day. Lt. Col. Wallace Wade fought in Europe in the Battle of the Bulge in the bitter winter of 1944. He faced real danger and live ammunition in the face of a desperate enemy simply because he believed the freedoms of America were at risk of being lost forever to a despotic dictator, Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. He did not think American values of freedom and independence were terrible. He thought they were great and worthy of preserving for us, the future generations of Americans. When asked later in life by a sports reporter if losing in the last 40 seconds of the 1939 Rose Bowl to Southern Cal which ended a perfect undefeated, untied and unscored upon national championship season for Duke was the worst moment of his life, Coach Wade smiled and said: “No. The worst moment of my life was when I was not allowed to be in the first wave at Normandy on D-Day.” He was age 52 on June 6, 1944. Four thousand Allied troops died in the first day at Normandy. Another 37,000 Allied soldiers

were killed over the next five days in the Battle of Normandy. That is why we must remember men who died, as Wallace Wade was willing to do, on Memorial Day. Without them, we would not enjoy the freedoms we do today. We should make every day a living breathing “memorial day” to them so we never forget.

GUEST OPINION | STACEY MATTHEWS

The voices of pro-life men should be heard, not mocked, in the abortion debate

The unborn child they were advised to abort is now married and is a public school counselor.

THE FACT That pro-life men have cast most of the votes in states that have recently passed fetal heartbeat legislation has been the subject of intense scrutiny and ridicule by left-wing commentators and websites. Their inflammatory comments have been repeated by the mainstream media as if to suggest the gender of the pro-life legislators was just one more reason to reject the passage of such bills outright. In fact, a quick Google search shows mainstream media outlets and left-wing websites alike promoting very similar stories from the “men passed these laws” angle. Why the emphasis on their gender? It’s another in a long list of shutuppery tactics Democrats both in and outside of the media use when trying to silence anti-abortion voices. Another example of this is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The San Francisco Democrat — who is a mother of five children—recently suggested that those who haven’t had a lot of children have no right to participate in the debate. “When you have five children in six years, we’ll have a conversation. Otherwise you have no standing whatsoever,” she told a crowd to applause. Men, of course, can’t have children. So to Pelosi and other Democrats, a man should be disqualified from the debate over abortion rights — unless he’s also pro-choice. One wonders if she applies this same rule to women who either haven’t had children or who can’t have children? If she’s like other feminists, the answer is “yes.” In the past, oftentimes Average Joe pro-life men have chosen to quietly support right-to-life causes. Why? They’ve known that if they’re too open about it they’ll be mocked because, to the left, they should have no say on the issue. Pro-life men in government, on the other hand, aren’t afraid of voicing their opinions — and voting on the issue. Where these men trip up is not in passionately taking on the issue, but sometimes when they’re questioned on it. Just ask former Congressman Todd Akin (R-Mo.), whose “legitimate rape” comments during an interview basically torpedoed his chances of

defeating incumbent Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill in 2012. The lesson learned: Pro-life men running for office either need to be better prepared to answer questions about abortion, or they shouldn’t run at all. Because it’s not a question of “if” you’ll be asked these questions, but when. Most pro-life women will tell you they would rather vote for a man who is anti-abortion than a woman who is pro-abortion. Because in deciding who to vote for, where a candidate stands on the issues should be the deciding factor, not their gender or race. Another governor is preparing to sign a fetal heartbeat legislation soon. This governor is a man. When this governor’s wife was pregnant nearly 30 years ago, they were told their unborn daughter had spina bifida — and were advised to abort. When her husband found out, he said, “No, no. We’re going to love this baby no matter what.” His wife said it was the moment “the boy I fell in love with become the man I’m still in love with today.” The unborn child they were advised to abort is now married and is a public school counselor. “I cannot imagine what our life would be without her,” the governor would say much later. That governor is Louisiana’s John Bel Edwards, a Democrat. There are many other pro-life male legislators who are also fathers. Some are brothers, uncles, nephews, cousins. They aren’t pro-life because they want to “control women.” They are pro-life because they can’t imagine life without their loved ones. Democrats and their feminist allies want you to believe these men have “no standing” in the abortion debate. That’s just wrong. All voices matter in this debate.

748,746 immigrants legally entered the U.S. based on family ties

UNDER CURRENT LAW, immigrants can receive a green card if they have a spouse, child, sibling or parent who is a U.S. citizen. Such family ties enabled 748,746 immigrants to receive green cards and permanent resident status in the United States during 2017. This accounted for 66% of legal permanent residents admitted to the country. A ScottRasmussen.com poll found that voters want to change that dynamic. Seventy-five percent believe that our immigration system should prioritize

people with skills that could benefit the economy rather than granting legal status to people with relatives in the United States. That view is shared across partisan and demographic lines. In 2017, just 12% of those granted permanent resident status did so through employment-based visas. Scott Rasmussen’s Number of the Day explores interesting and newsworthy topics at the intersection of culture, politics and technology for Ballotpedia.

The U.S. Supreme Court building at dusk, Thursday, May 23, 2019, on Capitol Hill in Washington.

The Supreme Court is not going to overrule Roe v. Wade

Smart Republicans — and that includes a chief justice who worries about the legitimacy of the postKavanaugh court — know that it would be the worse thing they could do to the party and to the court.

FIRST OF ALL, it doesn’t need to. Roe v. Wade has already been thoroughly decimated by a thousand different regulations, all of which the Supreme Court has, or will, uphold. Second, the Alabama geniuses could not have been stupider in the way they set things up for the court. And third, smart Republicans — and that includes a chief justice who worries about the legitimacy of the post-Kavanaugh court — know that it would be the worse thing they could do to the party and to the court. To be clear, 46 years after Roe, abortion is still a privilege in America. Ninety percent of counties in America have no abortion providers, according to the latest numbers from the Guttmacher Institute. Almost 40 percent of American women ages 15 to 44 live in those counties. And 58 percent of American women of childbearing age live in states that Guttmacher qualifies as “hostile” to abortion, which means they place every obstacle they can in front of the youngest and most vulnerable women. There are now five justices who you can routinely expect to like every regulation they see. Upholding regulations that make it difficult, costly and painful for poor women and teenagers to get abortions is one thing. Reversing the Court of Appeals, tossing aside a 43-year-old decision and the doctrine of stare decisis to uphold a law that would force a rape or incest victim (often a child herself) to bear the man’s child, a law that would imprison any doctor who helps her for longer than the rapist, is quite another. It is most assuredly not the way to present the question of overruling Roe v. Wade. Missouri State Rep. Tila Hubrecht thinks of it as the “silver lining.” “Sometimes bad things happen, and they’re horrible things,” she said. “But sometimes God can give us the silver lining through the birth of a child.” Alabama clearly has no problem telling these girls and women that they are murderers if they do otherwise. Affording an exception for rape and incest proves the hypocrisy of the “conception” crowd (whose interest in life, Barney Frank famously said, “begins at conception and ends at birth”). You can’t fault Alabama for inconsistency.

But not recognizing it means you lose the argument, lose the race, lose the majority, lose the country. Without a story, almost 70 percent of Americans are opposed to overruling Roe v. Wade. Now you can get a majority to support various kinds of regulations, particularly if they are sold as an effort to protect the health of the mother or to bar gruesome-sounding procedures made up by legislative assistants. But if the story is instead about a 13-year-old incest victim, or even a 20-year-old coed beaten and raped in an alley (that was me), you lose. When Bill O’Reilly baited me on abortion from the skybox at the 2004 convention, I pointed to the spot on the map in back of me and asked why he of anyone else had the right to force me to have a child. Today, there will be millions of women standing up, women and men, asking the same question. Every single state legislative race in every single state would be decided based on abortion. There are a lot of survivors who would make very fine legislators, in Alabama and elsewhere. If it were to happen soon enough, we might even get a woman president to boot. But it won’t. The Supreme Court will decline to take the case. Or it will affirm by order. In the meantime, the phones at the few clinics available to women in Alabama will ring off the hook with frightened women who never took constitutional law and don’t understand that this is just a game that’s being played — with their lives. No lower court can enforce this law; they have a duty to uphold the Constitution, a phrase they must have dropped from the oath in Alabama. There will be a child somewhere, a victim of rape or incest, who might actually believe the buffoons, with their silver linings and their talk of murder, and hurt herself. The scars don’t go away. And there will be a new generation of heroes and heroines, the men and women who literally risk their lives, who are yelled at and screamed at and threatened every day and yet continue to believe that constitutional rights belong to all of us. And the fight we shouldn’t be having, the fight we would be having if men were to get pregnant, will continue.

Slavery is neither strange nor peculiar THE FAVORITE LEFTIST tool for the attack on our nation’s founding is that slavery was sanctioned. They argue that the founders disregarded the promises of our Declaration of Independence “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” These very ignorant people, both in and out of academia, want us to believe that slavery is unusual, as historian Kenneth Stampp suggested in his book, “Peculiar Institution: Slavery in the Ante-Bellum South.” But slavery is by no means peculiar, odd, unusual or unique to the U.S. As University of Nebraska-Lincoln political science professor David P. Forsythe wrote in his book, “The Globalist,” “The fact remained that at the beginning of the nineteenth century an estimated three-quarters of all people alive were trapped in bondage against their will either in some form of slavery or serfdom.” Slavery was common among ancient peoples — Egyptians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Hittites, Greeks, Persians, Armenians and many others. Large numbers of Christians were enslaved during the Ottoman wars in Europe. White slaves were common in Europe from the Dark Ages to the Middle Ages. It was only during the 17th century that the Atlantic slave trade began with Europeans assisted by Arabs and Africans. Slavery is one of the most horrible injustices. It posed such a moral dilemma at our 1787 Constitutional Convention that it threatened to scuttle the attempt to create a union between the 13 colonies. Let’s look at some of the debate. George Washington, in a letter to Pennsylvania delegate Robert Morris, wrote, “There is not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do, to see a plan adopted for the abolition of it.” In a Constitutional Convention speech, James Madison said, “We have seen the mere distinction of color made in the most enlightened period of time, a ground of the most oppressive dominion ever exercised by man over man.” In James Madison’s records of the Convention he wrote, “(The Convention) thought it wrong to admit in the Constitution the idea that there could be property in men.” John Jay, in a letter to R. Lushington: “It is much to be wished that slavery may be abolished. The honour of the States, as well as justice and humanity, in my opinion, loudly call upon them to emancipate these unhappy people. To contend for our own liberty, and to deny that blessing to others, involves an inconsistency not to be excused.” Patrick Henry said, “I believe a time will come when an opportunity will be offered to abolish this lamentable evil.” George Mason said, “The augmentation of slaves weakens the states; and such a trade is diabolical in itself, and disgraceful to mankind.” Northern delegates to the Convention, and others who opposed slavery, wanted to count only free people of each state to determine representation in the House of Representatives and the Electoral College. Southern delegates wanted to count slaves just as any other person. That would have given slave states greater representation in the House and the Electoral College. If slaveholding states could not have counted slaves at all, the Constitution would not have been ratified and there would not be a union. The compromise was for slaves to be counted as three-fifths of a person when deciding representation in the House of Representatives and Electoral College. My question for those who condemn the Three-Fifths Compromise is: Would blacks have been better off if northern convention delegates stuck to their guns, not compromising, and a union had never been formed? To get a union, the northern delegates begrudgingly accepted slavery. Abolitionist Frederick Douglass understood the compromise, saying that the three-fifths clause was “a downright disability laid upon the slaveholding states” that deprived them of “two-fifths of their natural basis of representation.” Here’s my hypothesis about people who use slavery to trash the founders: They have contempt for our constitutional guarantees of liberty. Slavery is merely a convenient moral posturing tool they use in their attempt to reduce respect for our Constitution. Walter E. Williams is a professor of economics at George Mason University.

NATION & WORLD Farage claims pro-Brexit momentum after divisive UK vote The Associated Press LONDON — British euroskeptic Nigel Farage said Monday that his new Brexit Party’s victory in the European election should spur Britain to leave the European Union even without a divorce deal — a call echoed by many senior Conservatives, stung by their party’s humiliating defeat. Farage’s single-issue party and pro-EU forces combined to trounce Britain’s two dominant political parties in the European Parliament election, as angry voters blamed the ruling Conservatives and the opposition Labour Party for the country’s Brexit impasse. With complete results announced Monday, the Brexit Party had won 29 of the 73 British EU seats up for grabs and almost a third of the votes. On the pro-EU side, the Liberal Democrats took 20% of the vote and 16 seats — a dramatic increase from the single seat in won in the last EU election in 2014. The opposition Labour Party came third with 14.1%, followed by the pro-European environmentalist Greens, who captured nearly 12.1%. The Conservatives — apparently blamed by voters for failing to deliver Brexit in March as planned — were in fifth with under 10% of the vote. The election leaves Britain’s EU exit more uncertain than ever, with

The result raises the likelihood of a chaotic “no deal” exit from the EU — but also the possibility of a new Brexit referendum that could reverse the decision to leave. A triumphant Farage said he doubted the Conservatives, who are seeking a new leader, would be able to take Britain out of the

28-nation bloc on the currently scheduled date of Oct. 31. “The Conservative Party are bitterly divided and I consider it to be extremely unlikely that they will pick a leader who is able to take us out on the 31st October,” Farage said. He said his party — which currently has no members and no policies apart from leaving the EU — would “stun everybody” in the next

British general election if the country didn’t leave the EU on time. British Prime Minister Theresa May, who is stepping down as Conservative leader next month after failing to deliver Brexit, said the “disappointing” result of the European vote “shows the importance of finding a Brexit deal, and I sincerely hope these results focus minds in Parliament.” But the election instead is like-

ly to harden the uncompromising stance of the candidates vying to succeed her. On Monday, Home Secretary Sajid Javid became the ninth Conservative lawmaker to enter the race for the top job. “First and foremost, we must deliver Brexit,” he said. Boris Johnson, the current favorite to replace May, tweeted: “The message from last night’s results is clear. It is time for us to deliver Brexit.” Most businesses and economists think leaving the EU with no agreement on departure terms and future relations would cause economic turmoil and plunge Britain into a recession. But many Conservatives think embracing a no-deal Brexit may be the only way to win back voters from Farage’s party. Labour paid for a fence-sitting Brexit policy in which it dithered over whether to support a new referendum that could halt Brexit. Some senior Labour figures said after the party’s weak performance that it must now firmly back a new referendum on Britain’s departure from the bloc. Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has long resisted a new referendum, but Labour economy spokesman John McDonnell suggested that might change. He said the best way of stopping a damaging no-deal Brexit was “going back to the people in a referendum, and that’s what I think our members want.”

Chinese tourism to US drops for 1st time in 15 years By Dee-Durbin The Associated Press NEW YORK — After more than a decade of rapid growth, Chinese travel to the U.S. is falling. And that has cities, malls and other tourist spots scrambling to reverse the trend. Travel from China to the U.S. fell 5.7% in 2018 to 2.9 million visitors, according to the National Travel and Tourism Office, which collects data from U.S. Customs forms. It was the first time since 2003 that Chinese travel to the U.S. slipped from the prior year. Friction between the U.S. and China is one reason for the slowdown. The Trump administration first imposed tariffs on Chinese solar panels and washing machines in January 2018, and the trade war has escalated from there. The U.S. now has a 25% tariff on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports, while China has retaliated with tariffs on $60 billion of U.S. imports. Last summer, China issued a travel warning for the U.S., telling its citizens to beware of shootings, robberies and high costs for medical care. The U.S. shot back with its own warning about travel to China. Wang Haixia, who works at an international trade company in Beijing, traveled to the U.S. in May for her sister’s graduation. She and her family planned to spend 10 days in Illinois and New York.

Wang says she might have stayed longer but doesn’t want to contribute to the U.S. economy amid the trade war. “I cannot cancel this trip because I promised my sister I would go to her commencement,” she said. “My relatives will contribute more than 100,000 yuan to America just staying for 10 days, and that’s enough.” There are other reasons behind the slowdown. Economic uncertainty in China has travelers at the lower end of the market vacationing closer to home, says Wolfgang Georg Arlt, director of the Chinese Outbound Tourism Research Institute, which found that 56% of travelers leaving China in the last three months of 2018 went to Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan compared with 50% in 2017. Those who do travel farther are seeking out more exotic destinations like Croatia, Morocco and Nepal. Chinese travel to the U.S. had already been moderating from its breakneck pace earlier this decade. In 2000, 249,000 Chinese visited the U.S. That tripled to 802,000 by 2010, then tripled again by 2015, in part because of higher incomes, better long-haul flight connections and an easing of visa restrictions, according to McKinsey, the consulting firm. The U.S. welcomed more than 3 million Chinese visitors in 2016 and 2017. But year-over-year growth

edged up just 4% in 2017, the slowest pace in more than a decade. Most industry-watchers agree that any downturn is temporary, since China’s middle class will only continue to expand. The U.S. government forecasts Chinese tourism will grow 2% this year to 3.3 million visitors, and will reach 4.1 million visitors in 2023. “Even if the Chinese economy cools, it’s still going to continue to be a very good source of growth for the travel industry,” said David Huether, senior vice president of research for the U.S. Travel Association. In general, international travel to the U.S. has been declining. Overall data for 2018 hasn’t been released yet, but international travel fell 2% in 2016 and was flat in 2017. But because China commands some of the highest tourism traffic to the U.S., any falloff will be felt by destinations that have come to rely on Chinese spending power. In 2017, the country had the fifth highest number of U.S.-bound tourists, behind Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom and Japan. Ten years earlier, China wasn’t even on the top 10 list, falling behind countries like Germany, France, South Korea and Australia, according to the National Travel and Tourism Office. China didn’t crack the top 10 list until 2011 and has been climbing ever since. Spending by Chinese visitors — which doesn’t include

students — ballooned more than 600% between 2008 and 2016, to nearly $18.9 billion. In 2017, that fell by 1% to $18.8 billion, or about 12% of overall tourism spending. To hold onto those dollars, experts say the tourism industry must do more to keep up with Chinese travelers and their changing needs. Larry Yu, a professor of hospitality management at George Washington University, notes that Chinese tourists — particularly younger ones — are increasingly planning trips using social media apps like WeChat and are less likely to book through big tour groups. They have also rapidly adopted smartphone-based payment systems. Destinations should invest in those technologies now if they want to continue attracting Chinese tourists, says David Becker, former CEO of Attract China, a New Yorkbased travel consultancy. “A lot of companies looked at the Chinese market as easy money, but we have to be relevant to the Chinese,” Becker said. Attract China, for instance, has helped luxury stores in Manhattan incorporate Jeenie, a live translation app, and add Alipay and WeChat Pay for mobile payments. Others have also been stepping up their efforts. The Beverly Center mall in Los Angeles caters to both busloads of Chinese tourists and mid-size groups. But now it also fo-

cuses on small groups of less than 10 VIP shoppers, says Susan Vance, the mall’s marketing and sponsorship director. The mall has also pushed stores to offer China UnionPay, a digital payment service. More than 100 stores now have it, Vance says, up from three in 2014. Tourism officials are also catching onto WeChat. In late 2017, Washington D.C. became the first U.S. city to launch an interactive guide in the app. Chinese travelers can use it to get directions to attractions, access audio tours in Mandarin and find dining and shopping. The city’s marketing office has one staff member dedicated to WeChat. Washington also recently launched a Welcome China program that teaches hotels, restaurants and other venues about Chinese customs and encourages them to offer things like Chinese-language menus or in-room slippers. Forty-four hotels and a handful of restaurants have signed on. Elliott Ferguson, president and CEO of Destination DC, the city’s marketing office, said the number of Chinese tourists visiting Washington doubled in the last five years before falling slightly in 2017. But Ferguson, who traveled to China last month to meet with tourism officials, said there’s still significant interest in travel to the U.S. “We’re beefing up our efforts because we see there’s so much potential for growth,” he said.

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal THE LAST TIME East Carolina and NC State were supposed to play a baseball game, on April 24, 2018, it got rained out and wasn’t made up. It was a cancellation that became a point of contention between the two passionate fan bases, since the decision was made five hours before game time and it wasn’t raining when the first pitch was supposed to be thrown. The Pirates and Wolfpack didn’t schedule one another this season. But thanks to the NCAA Tournament selection committee, the in-state rivals might finally get to play after all. Both were placed in the same regional on Monday, to be held at ECU’s Clark-LeClair Stadium this weekend. That doesn’t guarantee they’ll actually meet on the diamond. Before they can think about a potential headto-head showdown for a chance at advancing to the College World Series, the top-seeded Pirates must first beat No. 4 Quinnipiac and the second-seeded Wolfpack must get past another instate school, No. 3 Campbell. They’re first-round matchups neither team is taking for granted. “There’s no easy regional. There are no easy teams,” ECU’s Cliff Godwin said. “Everybody’s 0-0. You’ve got to go out there and play your best baseball.” That’s especially true for the Wolfpack, which will likely have to face the Camels’ soon-to-be first round MLB Draft pick Seth Johnson in its opening game. Compounding matters is an atmosphere State coach Elliott Avent anticipates being hostile to his team, even when it isn’t playing the host Pirates. “It will be crazy,” a clearly unhappy Avent said shortly after the selections were announced. “It will be absolutely crazy and that’s what the players like. You want it to be crazy, you want it to be packed and you want it to be loud, so I think that’s what we’re going to get.” The double-elimination tournament in Greenville is one of two to be played in the state. North Carolina, on the strength of its impressive ACC Tournament championship last weekend, was also selected as a regional host. The top-seeded Tar Heels will begin play against No. 4 UNC Wilmington on Friday, with second-seeded Tennessee taking on No. 3 Liberty. Duke, the No. 3 seed in the Morgantown, W.Va., regional with host West Virginia, Texas A&M and Fordham, is the only other state team selected into the 64-team field. Unlike ECU and State, which will be challenged to avoid looking ahead to a matchup that might not happen, UNC’s task is trying to move on from a game that has already been played — a 10-2 victory against Georgia Tech on Sunday See NCAA, page B3

The five key plays from the ACC Baseball Tournament North Carolina won its first conference title since 2013 by going undefeated in Durham By Shawn Krest North State Journal DURHAM — The North Carolina Tar Heels won their first ACC Baseball Tournament since 2013 and just their second in the last 29 years, going undefeated in four games at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park last week. Unlike their previous title six years ago, when Carolina entered as the top seed, this year’s championship was a bit of a surprise. The Heels were the fifth seed, second in their pool. “Unbelievably proud of my team the way we played this week here

in Durham,” coach Mike Fox said. “And it’s just special. It’s hard to win, it’s hard to win a championship in this league, in any sport, but certainly in baseball.” Here’s a look at the key plays that helped the Tar Heels clear the way to a title in Durham. 5. In the tournament’s very first game, Clemson went to extra innings with Boston College, which entered the tournament as the bottom seed after a 12-18 record. With one out and two on in the 11th, BC’s Peter Burns hit a roller to first baseman Chad Fairey, who misplayed it, allowing one run to score. The Eagles would add a second unearned run to pull the upset victory over the Tigers. It was the first error of the season for Fairey, who moved to first from left field in the eighth inning, following a Clemson pinch hitter the previous inning and it eliminated

Clemson. Boston College went on to knock off the tournament’s top seed, Louisville, the next day, to improbably advance to the semifinals from the 12th seed and face the Tar Heels for a shot at the title game. “I feel bad for Chad Fairey,” Clemson coach Monte Lee said. “The ground ball that jumped up, took a big hop, just took a tough hop on him. And that’s what gave them the lead. But that’s baseball. That’s part of the game.” 4. Facing No. 9 seed Virginia in a Wednesday game where the loser would be eliminated from advancement, UNC saw its early tworun lead erased by a late Virginia rally. Three walks loaded the bases with one out. Pinch hitter Caleb Roberts was hit by a pitch for a rare walk-off rally that didn’t include a base hit, keeping the Heels alive for another day. “I’ve never been in a game with a walk-off hit

by pitch,” said UNC third baseman Ike Freeman, “but a win’s a win.” 3. The Heels’ second pool play game was against fourth-seeded Miami, the top seed in their group. Carolina quickly found itself down 5-0 after three innings. UNC had cut the lead to 5-3 in the eighth inning when Michael Busch came up with one on and one out. He hit the first pitch he saw over the wall in right field to complete the comeback and tie the game. The Heels went on to win in 11 innings and advance to the semifinals. Busch would go on to win tournament MVP, hitting .400 with two home runs, four RBI and 1.438 OPS for the week. “To get punched in the mouth like that early and come back and win the game. Just a credit to them and their resiliency,” Fox said. “We talk all the time about how you respond to things, and just kind of challenged them

B3 there after the third inning and got great response from everybody in the dugout.” 2. In the semifinals against Boston College, UNC jumped out to a 7-1 lead through five innings. The Heels’ cruise to the final game hit rough waters in the sixth, however, when the Eagles rallied for four runs, cutting the lead to two. The Tar Heels responded immediately in the bottom of the frame, ending Boston College’s hopes of a comeback. Busch led off with a single, and Danny Serretti tripled in two runs as part of a three-run UNC rally. Boston College wouldn’t score again, and the Heels would play for a title. “We knew they weren’t going to go away, and those kind of innings happen,” Fox said. “It’s how you respond to them that’s important, and that’s what we did.” 1. In the championship game, UNC fell behind 1-0 early before tying the score in fifth. That set the stage for more sixth-inning magic, once again triggered by Busch, who led off with a single. Aaron Sabato followed with a two-run home run. The Heels would add another two-run shot later in the inning, and the rout was on.

NBA Finals feature several NC products Golden State’s Stephen Curry and Toronto’s Danny Green are the big names with ties to the state By Shawn Krest North State Journal THERE IS SOME new blood in the NBA Finals. For the first time in five years, the championship round of the playoffs will not include the Cleveland Cavaliers or LeBron James. With James in Los Angeles, after signing with the Lakers before the season, and out of the playoffs, there is a new Eastern Conference champion. The Toronto Raptors make their first-ever trip to the Finals, after defeating Milwaukee to win the East. The Raptors lost to Cleveland in the Eastern Conference Finals three years ago, which previously had been the farthest they’d advanced in the postseason. On the other side, however, things haven’t changed much. For the fifth straight year, the Golden State Warriors will represent the Western Conference. The Warriors are seeking to win their fourth title in five seasons. Golden State would also become just the fourth NBA team in the last 50 years to threepeat as champions, joining the 1991-93 Chicago Bulls, the 199698 Bulls and the 2000-02 Lakers. Here’s a look at the participants in this year’s Finals with connections to the state of North Carolina. Stephen Curry: One of the key building blocks of the Warriors dynasty has been the Davidson alumnus and Charlotte resident. Curry posted his highest scoring average (27.3 points per game) and 3-point accuracy (.437) since his second straight MVP season in 2015-16. Despite all of his production, Curry has surprisingly never won NBA Finals MVP. Andre Iguodala and

Golden State guards Stephen Curry, left, and Quinn Cook — who played at Davidson and Duke, respectively — will look to give the Warriors their fourth title in five years when the NBA Finals start Thursday in Toronto. Kevin Durant (twice) took those honors in the previous title seasons. He’s not concerned about that one hole in his resume, however. “It’s a special award that everybody wants to get, including myself,” Curry told the media after practice on Monday. “But at the end of the day, the first thing I do is look up and see, ‘Did you win or lose?’” This year’s Finals have special significance for Curry, since he spent his middle school years (1999 to 2002) in Toronto, while his father, Dell, played for the Raptors near the end of his career. Quinn Cook: The former Duke guard and sole senior on the 2015 national champions hit an import-

ant milestone this season. With 74 games played in Golden State, Cook has now appeared in more NBA games (121) than G League games (111). Cook spent his first three years after college lighting up the NBA’s developmental minor league with a 23.3 points-pergame scoring average and earning brief cups of coffee with Dallas and New Orleans. Last year, he stuck with Golden State, playing in 33 games, starting 18 and scoring 9.5 points per game. His scoring is down this year (6.9 points), but he’s still a key reserve for the Warriors. Cook saw his minutes dwindle in the playoffs until an injury to Durant suddenly put him

on the court for extended periods. “There’s a real trick to maintaining confidence level, conditioning level, your rhythm, your timing through all those times you’re not in the rotation. It’s a very hard job,” coach Steve Kerr told The Mercury News. “If you can do it, you’ve got a place in the league for a long game because coaches really value that.” Another milestone: Including his 28 (and counting) playoff games over the last two years, Cook now has more games in the NBA than at Duke. Shaun Livingston: The 33-yearold was a Duke commit in the preone-and-done era, choosing to go straight to the pros instead of spending time with the Blue Devils. His 14 years in the league eventually brought him back to North Carolina, for a year with the Hornets in 2010-11, where he averaged 6.6 points in 73 games off the bench. He filled a similar role with the Warriors this year, scoring 4.0 points per game. The Raptors also have a pair of players whose career roads took them through this state. Danny Green: Like Cook, Green found his way into the league through the developmental minor league, eventually catching on with the San Antonio Spurs. Green became the member of the 2009 national champion Tar Heels with the most-successful NBA career, winning a ring with the Spurs in 2014. In his first year with the Raptors following a trade, he averaged 13.3 points per game, his most since 2015. Jeremy Lin: The eight-year veteran signed with the Raptors in February after being waived by Atlanta. He averaged 7.0 points per game in 23 games with the Raptors, earning his first trip to the playoffs since 2015-16, when he scored 11.7 points per game in his only season in Charlotte. Lin’s minutes have been scarce in the playoffs, however.

NCAA from page B1 that clinched the ACC Tournament championship at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. “I don’t think this team has let their highs get too high and their lows get too low,” coach Mike Fox, whose Tar Heels are the No. 14 national seed, said Monday. “They realize that we’re at the end of the year. You can see with the committee and the teams that are in that every game matters.” The games played last week certainly mattered to both UNC and State. The Tar Heels’ four wins and tournament title were likely the reason they are hosting a regional and the Wolfpack — which went 1-2 in Durham — is not. It’s a situation that left Avent “very disappointed and confused a little bit.” ECU’s Godwin was also less than thrilled over the fact that his team was denied a top-eight national seed that would have guaranteed it playing at home through the Super Regionals should they advance that far. Despite an RPI ranking of No. 5, the Pirates are the 10th overall seed. One team that isn’t concerned about its seeding or placement is Duke, which was 14-15 and going nowhere on April 3 before turning its season around. “I can’t think of a better way to spend Memorial Day,” Blue Devils’ coach Chris Pollard said after Monday’s selection show. “I hope we spend Memorial Day like this every year. To see Duke pop up on the screen on Selection Monday is never going to stop being a thrill for me.” While the Blue Devils will be facing teams they’ve never seen before, there is plenty of familiarity among the participants in the two local regionals. Not only has UNC already played UNCW and Liberty this season, going 3-0 against them, both ECU and State split a pair of games each against Campbell.

Offseason decisions will come sooner for Hurricanes Carolina has a much shorter summer after being one of the final four teams standing in the playoffs By Cory Lavalette North State Journal RALEIGH — The offseason will be much shorter than the Carolina Hurricanes have become accustomed to this summer, thanks to their run to the Eastern Conference Final. There’s also less work to be done than in the past decade, seeing that Carolina has found a winning formula under coach Rod Brind’Amour. That doesn’t mean there’s nothing on deck for the Hurricanes’ front office this offseason. On top of a wealth of draft picks (including four in the first 59 picks), Carolina has cap space and plenty of assets to try and improve its lineup. Subtractions Probably the only sure thing is Micheal Ferland. The pending unrestricted free agent’s representatives ruffled the feathers of Hurricanes management during contract extension talks by asking for a contract similar to that received by Kyle Okposo and Milan Lucic a few years ago. Those deals didn’t age well, and after talks broke down between Ferland and the team, so did the 27-year-old. Ferland’s nagging injuries limited him the second half of the year and in the postseason, and his one goal after Feb. 19 likely sealed his departure. Beyond that, the Hurricanes will at least entertain bringing back their other free agents. Captain Justin Williams would be welcomed back — likely on a oneyear deal — if he decides to play another season, and GM Don Waddell has said the team will discuss new contracts with goalies Petr Mrazek and Curtis McElhinney. The team’s other goalie, Scott Darling, seems like a prime candidate for a buyout. Waddell said

Truex was happy to provide his boss another win. “To think a guy can be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the NASCAR Hall of Fame just tells you how special (Gibbs) is, and I’m super honored to drive for him,” Truex said. Pearn said the car was seriously damaged by the early run into the wall and it took several trips to the pits to fix the issues. Still, in victory lane, Pearn couldn’t believe his team came out on top. “It

the Hurricanes have not yet made a decision on what to do with the remaining two years and $7.1 million owed Darling. Restricted free agents Sebastian Aho and Brock McGinn, favorites of the organization, should both get new deals — Aho’s will make him the team’s highest-paid player — and UFA Greg McKegg proved he’s an NHL regular and could be back unless a better deal comes from elsewhere. Saku Maenalanen has arbitration rights as an RFA, but it makes sense for both sides to get a deal done. The team could also use its wealth of defensemen to bolster the forward corps. Justin Faulk, with one year left on his deal before unrestricted free agency, could bring back a big return.

Cap-strapped teams with several RFAs like Toronto (Mitch Marner, Kasperi Kapanen, Andreas Johansson) and Winnipeg (Patrik Laine, Kyle Connor, Jacob Trouba) could be targeted, while upper-limit franchises like Nashville, Vegas and Tampa Bay could all be looking to shed salary for relief.

Martin Necas’ full-time arrival in the NHL was delayed a year, but the Czech phenom should be in Raleigh next season. The question is whether it’s as a center or winger. If he stays in the middle, that could jeopardize McKegg’s spot. If he starts out on the wing, he could take Ferland’s spot (or Williams’ if he retires). With Calvin de Haan and Trevor van Riemsdyk both rehabbing from shoulder surgeries this summer, Haydn Fleury will be relied on. Jake Bean is also knocking on the door and could make a dealing a defenseman a little easier. Julien Gauthier, Janne Kuokkanen, Nicolas Roy or Aleksi Saarela are all reaching a point where they need to push for NHL spots. Morgan Geekie is a long shot, but the rookie center has had an impressive 2018-19 and even better postseason with the Checkers.

It’s tough to envision Carolina going hard after any of the big-ticket unrestricted free agents. The RFA class, however, is deep, and the Hurricanes’ stockpile of resources and cap space could make them a player in trade talks.

The Hurricanes coaching staff will be back, but Mike Vellucci, the Hurricanes’ assistant GM and Charlotte Checkers coach, is due a new contract. The Checkers’ run to the Calder Cup Finals (series begins against the Chicago Wolves Saturday in Charlotte) might have ironically hurt Vellucci’s chances at a vacancy this offseason, with Anaheim yet to name a head coach for the 201920 season. He would certainly be coveted as an NHL assistant, but it’s hard to see how that would benefit Vellucci’s resume. The other pressing matter is the broadcast team of John Forslund, Tripp Tracy and Mike Maniscalco, all up for new deals. Forslund is one of hockey’s best play-by-play men and a logical replacement for Doc Emrick at NBC when the legendary broadcaster calls it quits. Forslund already works for NBC, jetting to games on Hurricanes’ off days and doing the first two rounds of the playoffs. Tracy has been with the franchise since 1998 and couples quirky chemistry with Forslund and the knowledge of being a former minor league goalie. Maniscalco has been with the Hurricanes for three seasons after nearly a decade in Triangle sports radio.

was crazy to see the car be that good and be that banged up,” he said. Penske driver Brad Keselowski won the first two stages and appeared to have the strongest car. But he slipped to the middle of the pack during the third 100-lap segment and never challenged for the victory. He finished 19th. Busch was third, Chase Elliott fourth and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. fifth. Logano said Truex had the faster car in the race. If Logano had gotten to Truex’s outside, he may have a chance to move in front, he said. Truex “knew the same thing,” Logano said. “He did a good job defending his po-

sition.” It wasn’t a completely perfect week for Joe Gibbs Racing. Driver Erik Jones was out of the race after just 22 laps when his car slid hard into the wall and damaged his right front tire. Truex hit the wall on lap 74l while out front with a two-second lead. NASCAR held a moment of remembrance for military personnel who lost their lives in service as cars were led into the pits and halted.

RALEIGH — Rod Broadway has one regret about walking away from his job as NC A&T’s football coach after leading the Aggies to the Historically Black Colleges and Universities national championship in 2017. But it doesn’t have anything to do with football. “If I’d have known boats were so expensive,” he said, “I’d have worked a couple more years.” Broadway got his boat — “a 21-foot Scout, 150 Yamaha fourstroke,” he said. Because of the cost, he found himself applying for another “job” in his retirement at Myrtle Beach. “I went fishing (one day) and there were two old guys sitting out on the dock,” the former coach said. “I started talking them and I asked one guy, ‘What do you do?’ He said, ‘Nothing.’ I asked his buddy, ‘What do you do?” and he said, ‘I help him.’ I just wanted to know if they had any more positions available. So that’s what I’m doing.” Broadway took time out from his fishing duties recently to celebrate his induction into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame. He was a member of a 12-person class that also included football player and artist Ernie Barnes, administrator Willie Bradshaw, outdoorsman Eddie Bridges, former ACC commissioner Gene Corrigan, NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., wrestling coach Steve Gabriel, basketball ref Dee Kantner, golf champion Davis Love III, former Lenoir-Rhyne athletic director Neill McGeachy, UNC quarterback Paul Miller and football coach Thell Overman. A former North Carolina defensive lineman from the Stanly County community of Oakboro, Broadway earned his place in the shrine because of a coaching career that started as an assistant at his alma mater, followed by stops at Duke, East Carolina and Florida. He went on to compile a 12745 record as a head coach, leading three difference schools — NC Central, Grambling and then A&T — to HBCU national titles. His final team went a perfect 12-0 with a win in Celebration Bowl. At the age of 64, in good health with the leverage of an undefeated season and a roster full of starters set to return in 2018, Broadway could have negotiated a hefty raise on his expiring contract. Instead, he chose to be one of those rare individuals who decides to walk away at the top of his game.

.738 Rod Broadway’s winning percentage as a head coach at NC Central, Grambling and NC A&T, where he went a combined 127-45.

And he never looked back, even as his hand-picked successor Sam Washington was leading many of the players he recruited to yet another HBCU championship “I missed it a little bit, but not much,” Broadway said at a press conference preceding his induction ceremony. “I missed some of the relationships with the players and the coaches. But for the most part, no.” While Broadway has made a clean break from coaching, he hasn’t turned his back on the game he loves. He called himself a “football junkie” who watched as many games as possible on television last fall, attending only one in person — the Aggies’ win at Savannah State. Even when there’s not a game on, he still has plenty things to keep him busy above and beyond the boat and his fishing responsibilities. “I enjoy doing things that I enjoy,” he said. “Hanging with my family, being able to go to birthday parties and having family celebrations, and a lot of things I missed for 39 years that I’m able to do now. I’m still young enough to travel. Life is good.” According to fellow Hall of Famer Miller, who was a graduate assistant at UNC early in Broadway’s playing career with the Tar Heels, Broadway has always possessed an ability to appreciate his success. “He was always smiling and laughing,” Miller said. “You think of defensive linemen as mean guys, but Rod was a big teddy bear. He still is.” Always one to deflect the credit for his success to his players and members of his staff, Broadway said he was humbled to be joining all-time greats such as Michael Jordan, David Thompson, Choo Choo Justice, Catfish Hunter and others — including fellow 2019 classmates Earnhardt Jr. and Love III — in his home state’s Hall of Fame. He referred to himself as “one of God’s blessed kids,” in his Hall of Fame speech. “I’ve had a lot of gifts. I’ve said it a thousand times,” he said. “There’s a country song that reminds me of that. It says: ‘I don’t know why it happened to me, why I deserve all these blessings. But God has definitely been good to me.’”

Greensboro, N.C. – Partners in the Carolina Core last week hosted a delegation of the state’s top economic development officials, including leaders from the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC), for a familiarization tour highlighting the globally competitive assets in the Carolina Core. The day-long event kicked off with a breakfast and briefings in the Bailey Power Plant at Wake Forest Innovation Quarter. The tour then included visits to downtown Greensboro, BB&T Point Stadium in High Point and each of the four megasites along the U.S. 421 Corridor. The visiting delegation included members from the EDPNC business recruitment, business development and research and marketing teams. Other partners for the program included Chatham Economic Development Corporation, Greensboro Chamber of Commerce, High Point Economic Development Corporation, Winston-Salem Business Inc and Winston-Salem Chamber of Commerce. The tour continues the growing momentum in the Carolina Core to collectively market key assets in the region to increase economic competitiveness on the national and global stage. “The Carolina Core is a strategic approach to economic development that erases traditional borders and focuses on the region’s cumulative competitive assets that are desirable to prospective businesses,” said Christopher Chung, CEO of the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina. “Today’s tour and meetings with local partners helped further bring the Carolina Core vision to life, providing a valuable opportunity for our sales and marketing teams. This helps us at EDPNC to better promote the Core in our interactions with prospective businesses.” Approved Logos

D-Day’s 75th anniversary renews interest in some classrooms By Martha Waggoner The Associated Press CARY, N.C. — Kasey Turcol has just 75 minutes to explain to her high school students the importance of D-Day — and if this wasn’t the 75th anniversary of the turning point in World War II, she wouldn’t devote that much time to it. D-Day is not part of the required curriculum in North Carolina — or in many other states. Turcol reminds her students at Crossroads FLEX High School in Cary, North Carolina, that D-Day was an Allied victory that saved Europe from Nazi tyranny and that the young men who fought and died were barely older than they are. She sprinkles her lesson with details about the number of men, ships, and planes involved in the landing at Normandy while adding a few lesser-known facts about a Spanish spy and a deadly military practice conducted six months earlier in England. In the U.S. and other countries impacted by the events on June 6, 1944, historians and educators worry that the World War II milestone is losing its resonance with today’s students. In France, which was liberated from German occupation, D-Day isn’t a stand-alone topic in schools. German schools concentrate on the Holocaust and the Nazi dictatorship. And despite having been part of the Allied Powers, in Russia, the schools avoid D-Day because they believe it was the victories on the Eastern Front that won the war. “History has taken a back seat” in the U.S. because of the focus on science and math classes, says Cathy Gorn, executive director of National History Day in College Park, Maryland. In the U.S., teaching about World War II varies from state to state. It’s often up to the teachers to decide how much time they want to give to individual battles like D-Day. For eight years, National His-

tory Day sent 15 pairs of students and teachers to Normandy to immerse them in the history of D-Day. The high school sophomores and juniors would research an individual soldier close to them — a family member or someone from their hometown — who died. On the last day, the group visited a cemetery where each student read a eulogy for their individual soldier. Teachers also have outside resources. The National World War II Museum offers an electronic field trip through D-Day and provides suggested lessons plans. In North Carolina, history is taught through “conceptual design” with connections to themes such as geography, economics and politics, said Meghan Grant, coordinating teacher for secondary social studies in Wake County schools. The lessons are based on a method of teaching social studies that was developed in 2013 and used by about half the states, said Larry Paska, executive director of the National Council for the Social Studies . Paska said it may focus on asking students a question like “What makes an event a turning point in the war?” Students then would use difference sources of evidence to back up their answer. As part of her D-Day lesson, Turcol tells her class of juniors and seniors that the Germans thought an attack from the Allied forces wouldn’t be possible. “It’s too stormy. It’s too risky,” she says. “And what do we do? Yeah, we find a glimmer of hope. On June 5th, the skies kind of clear. The moon kind of shines. And we’re like, this is the moment. This is what is happening.” She tells students that Gen. Dwight Eisenhower kept D-Day plans on the “down low.” Turcol plays a few minutes of a documentary about D-Day to “show you the true humanity of the war,” she says. “You saw the German praying

... asking for his mother, father, asking for this to be over. Not everybody is on the same message in Germany,” she says. “Everybody here is a father, a mother, a brother, a cousin, a friend. So every life matters.” Students in Europe also receive dramatically different lessons on D-Day depending on where they live. Because of Germany’s history, any hint of militarism remains a taboo. While battles like D-Day, Stalingrad and the Operation Barbarossa invasion of Russia might be mentioned briefly in schools, they tend to be lumped together in broad overviews of the war. Individual teachers do have leeway, however, to pursue topics that capture the attention of students. The Russian narrative on D-Day has remained almost unchanged since the days of the Soviet Union. Historians and schoolbooks describe the invasion as a long-awaited move as happening after the course of WWII had already been shaped by Soviet victories in the battles of Stalingrad and Kursk and other battles on the Eastern Front. Even in the country where D-Day occurred, the assault doesn’t have a central, dominant place in the teaching of World War II. The history of 20th century conflict is taught in France as a theme and no longer as a chronological list of major battles. As cultural director at Normandy’s Caen Memorial , Isabelle Bournier deals daily with school groups that tour the museum. French children often aren’t familiar with the details of D-Day, partially because fewer families have relatives who lived through the war and can pass on their stories, she said. Students from Normandy are different from the broader French student population, she said. “All families are more or less impregnated by this history. It is part of us,” Bournier said.

Judge: Anheuser-Busch must pull some ads about MillerCoors The Associated Press MILWAUKEE — A Wisconsin judge has ordered Anheuser-Busch to stop suggesting in advertising that MillerCoors’ light beers contain corn syrup, wading into a fight between two beer giants that are losing market share to small independent brewers. U.S. District Judge William Conley for the Western District of Wisconsin on Friday granted a preliminary injunction sought by MillerCoors that temporari-

ly stops Anheuser-Busch from using the words “corn syrup” in ads without giving more context. MillerCoors sued its rival in March, saying St. Louis-based Anheuser-Busch has spent as much as $30 million on a “false and misleading” campaign, including $13 million in its first commercials during this year’s Super Bowl. However, the ruling did not affect all of Anheuser-Busch’s advertising targeting MillerCoors, allowing the commercials that premiered at the Super Bowl to

keep airing. Anheuser-Busch’s ad drew a rebuke from the National Corn Growers Association, which thanked MillerCoors for its support. In its lawsuit, MillerCoors said it’s “not ashamed of its use of corn syrup as a fermentation aid.” Corn syrup is used by several brewers during fermentation. During that process, corn syrup is broken down and consumed by yeast so that none of it remains in the final product. Bud Light is brewed with rice instead of corn

syrup, but Anheuser-Busch uses corn syrup in some of its other beverages, including Stella Artois Cidre and Busch Light beer. MillerCoors applauded the ruling and said Anheuser-Busch should be trying to grow the beer market, not “destroy it through deceptive advertising.” “We are pleased with today’s ruling that will force Anheuser-Busch to change or remove advertisements that were clearly designed to mislead the American public,” said MillerCoors CEO

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT Sponsored by

Juneteenth Celebration in Rocky Mount This year marks the fifteenth anniversary of the two-day Juneteenth Community Empowerment Festival that takes place in the public power community of Rocky Mount. It’s one of the most popular community festivals around, with folks coming from all over the state and surrounding areas to take part in the event. The term “Juneteenth” was coined by freed slaves to commemorate their emancipation from slavery. Also known as Juneteenth Independence Day or Freedom Day, it’s the oldest known celebration recognizing the ending of slavery in the United States. It was on June 19, 1865 that Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were free. This year’s festival is May 31 through June 1 in downtown Rocky Mount. It will feature great food, live music, dozens of vendors, and all kinds of fun for kids of all ages, including a bounce house. It will also give attendees the opportunity to learn more about African-American history with a Kente and Africa drum presentation, a tribute to Buffalo Soldiers, and a performance by African American dance group Jonkonnu.

C2 US consumer confidence hits highest level since November Washington, D.C. American consumers felt more confident this month, shrugging off a rocky stock market and heightened trade tensions between the United States and China. The Conference Board, a business research group, says its consumer confidence index rose to 134.1 in May from 129.2 in April. The reading was the highest since November. The index measures consumers’ assessment of current economic conditions and their expectations for the next six months. Both improved in May. Americans’ evaluation of today’s economy hit the highest level since December 2000. Their optimism reflects a healthy job market. The U.S. unemployment rate has dropped to 3.6%, near a 50-year low. Consumer spirits remained high even though the Dow Jones industrial average is down more than 3% this month, largely on worries about a U.S.-China trade war.

MacKenzie Bezos pledges half her fortune to charity Bellevue, Wash. MacKenzie Bezos is pledging half her fortune to charity, following in the footsteps of billionaires Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. The ex-wife of Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos finalized her divorce in April and reportedly got a stake in the online shopping giant worth over $35 billion. The Giving Pledge was started in 2010 by 40 of the wealthiest people in the U.S. It involves billionaires pledging more than half of their wealth to charitable causes either while they are alive or in their wills. “We each come by the gifts we have to offer by an infinite series of influences and lucky breaks we can never fully understand,” she wrote in a letter. “In addition to whatever assets life has nurtured in me, I have a disproportionate amount of money to share.”

FAA investigating Chick-fil-A’s exclusion at Texas airport San Antonio, TX The Federal Aviation Administration says it’s investigating a decision to exclude Chick-fil-A from an airport concession contract in San Antonio over opposition to the fast-food chain owners’ record on LGBT issues. The San Antonio ExpressNews reports the FAA told San Antonio officials Friday it’s investigating complaints the city-owned airport discriminated “against a private company due to the expression of the owner’s religious beliefs.” City Attorney Andy Segovia said his office is reviewing the FAA’s notice. The Atlantabased restaurant chain has faced opposition elsewhere over donating millions over the years to groups that oppose same-sex marriage. Texas lawmakers this month approved a bill that would prohibit cities from taking “adverse action” against an individual based on contributions to religious organizations. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has signaled he will sign the legislation.

Japan trade a problem for Trump, but not as bad as China By Yuri Kageyama The Associated Press TOKYO — As President Donald Trump visits Japan this week, he’ll be able to point to Tokyo’s streets to drive home a sore point in trade relations between the allies: the absence of made-in-USA vehicles. The $70 billion Japanese trade surplus with the U.S. is dwarfed by China’s $379 billion surplus, and the trade tensions between Washington and Tokyo are far less contentious than the tariffs war with Beijing. But the disputes between Japan and the U.S. are longstanding and also intractable: the bilateral agreement with Tokyo that Trump has been seeking since pulling out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement two years ago is still far down the road, say analysts and politicians on both sides. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has carefully courted Trump since before he took office and their cordial, golfing-buddy relationship has helped keep relations on an even keel. While Trump has complained repeatedly about the trade imbalance, especially in autos and auto parts — the Hondas and Toyotas on U.S. roads are a daily reminder — friction over Japan’s exports has not reached the fever pitch it did in the late 1980s, when angry American auto workers smashed Japanese vehicles. The Trump administration’s tough stance on China, including

the tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods that recently kicked in, is almost a replay of the “Japan bashing” of decades ago. To help alleviate tensions, especially over vehicle exports, Japanese automakers have moved much of their production for America to the U.S., investing a cumulative $51 billion and building 24 manufacturing plants, many in areas that have little else to count on to vitalize their economies. Those investments have created some 1.6 million jobs, according to the industry group Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association. Trade remains unbalanced: In April Japan’s exports to the U.S. jumped nearly 10%, while imports of American goods rose 2.3%. Japan’s trade surplus surged almost 18% to 723 billion yen ($6.6 billion). Trump sees today’s disputes as a continuation of earlier clashes, said Kristin Vekasi, professor of political science at the University of Maine. She says current negotiations are unlikely to lead to any “miraculous” opening of Japanese markets for American products. Japanese officials have said they would draw the line at concessions made for the sake of joining the TPP, which had been championed by the administration of Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama. “Japan already buys a lot from the United States,” Vekasi said. Japan’s imports from the U.S. are dominated by food, chemicals, machinery and devices. Cars, not so much.

Detroit-based General Motors Co. sold just 562 Cadillacs, 708 Chevrolets, six Buicks and a handful of its other nameplate brands in Japan in the fiscal year that ended in March. In contrast, Toyota sold 2.3 million of the roughly 5 million vehicles sold in the Japanese market. Experts generally agree the imbalance reflects a lack of Japanese interest, not significant trade barriers. Trade talks cannot dictate consumer tastes. The Trump administration has designated auto imports as a threat to U.S. national security, though the government has delayed a decision on raising tariffs on imported cars for six months. Trump has suggested he will go ahead with the tariffs if U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, a trade talks veteran of the Japan-bashing days, doesn’t manage to wrest concessions from Japan and the European Union. Apart from autos, Washington is worried that American farm products won’t get a fair deal, as Japan forges trade pacts with Australia and Europe. While visiting Japan earlier this month, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue donned an apron and took up barbecue tongs, urging Japan to buy more American beef. “We’re saying treat us as a prime customer the way we treated Japanese products for many years,” he said after grilling some beef and pork on a Tokyo shopping mall rooftop.

Perdue returned to Washington with a promise from Japan to eliminate restrictions on U.S. beef exports. The move allows all cattle, regardless of age, to enter Japan for the first time since 2003, when Japan imposed limits to guard against bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE, also known as “mad cow disease.” The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates exports of U.S. beef and beef product could jump by up to $200 million a year, though they do face stiff competition from Australia and China. Japan still imposes limits on many farm products, seeking to guard its food security and politically important rural constituencies, and Perdue acknowledged that a broader trade deal with Tokyo may take time. After years of being harangued to open their own markets, Japanese officials and business leaders are ardent proponents of freer trade. Usually soft-spoken Toyota Chief Executive Akio Toyoda, who chairs the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, was blunt in expressing outrage over the idea that auto imports pose a security threat worthy of imposing tariffs. “We are dismayed to hear a message suggesting that our long-time contributions of investment and employment in the United States are not welcomed. As chairman, I am deeply saddened by this decision,” he said earlier this week. “Any trade restrictive measures would deliver a serious blow to the U.S. auto industry and economy, as it would not only disadvantage U.S. consumers, but also adversely affect the global competitiveness of U.S.-produced vehicles and suppress company investments in the U.S.”

Overwatch League commissioner leaving to work on Fortnite Epic Games, headquartered in Cary, N.C., further secures its role as the leader in burgeoning esport realm with new hire By Jake Seiner The Associated Press OVERWATCH LEAGUE Commissioner Nate Nanzer is leaving the competitive video game circuit to oversee esports competition for Fortnite publisher Epic Games. Nanzer tweeted he will be moving on from Activision Blizzard, the company behind the Overwatch game and league, for a “new opportunity.” He didn’t provide further details or a firm timeline except to say he’ll be leaving “soon.” Epic Games told ESPN they had agreed to hire Nanzer,

Judge Conley ordered Anheuser Busch to temporarily stop using advertisements that mention corn syrup without references

who will try to help to turn the world’s most popular video game into a sustainable esport. Activision Blizzard says Nanzer will be replaced by Pete Vlastelica, President and CEO of Activision Blizzard Esports Leagues. Nanzer was integral in launching the Overwatch League, a global endeavor with franchises in 20 cities across Asia, North America and Europe that compete in the 6 vs. 6 first-person computer game. Nanzer was working in Blizzard’s marketing department when he hatched the idea for the league, and he has been its only commissioner. The Overwatch League’s first season was a smashing success. It filled Brooklyn’s Barclays Center for a two-night championship in July, becoming the first live esport broadcast in prime time on ESPN and winning the Esports Live

Event of the Year at the Esports Awards in November. The league’s initial investors included professional sports owners like the New England Patriots’ Robert Kraft, New York Mets’ Jeff Wilpon and Los Angeles Rams’ Stan Kroenke, and the league had unprecedented success pulling in non-endemic sponsorships to the burgeoning

industry. The league is set to fulfill Nanzer’s ultimate vision by launching a global home-and-away format next season. The majority of its regular season matches so far have been held in Southern California. Nanzer tweeted that he “can’t emphasize enough how proud I am of what we’ve all accomplished together.” Now it seems he’ll turn his attention to Fortnite, a cultural sensation that has struggled to convert its popularity into a competitive format. Among the challenges: the battle royale’s 100-player, lastman-standing format has been difficult to broadcast, especially as competitors have taken conservative — and thus less entertaining — approaches to competition. Vlastelica, formerly of Fox Sports, said in a statement he would be “stepping in as Overwatch League commissioner, effective immediately. “We have the best team in the business working incredibly hard to realize the vision we set out to create years ago,” he added, “And I’ll be working very closely with our staff, the teams and partners to do just that.”

to “brewed with,” ‘’made with” or “uses,” or that describe corn syrup as an ingredient in the finished products. The ruling affects two Bud Light commercials and billboards that describe Bud Light as containing “100 percent less corn syrup” than Miller Lite and Coors Light. Anheuser Busch said those ads are no longer up and the company had no plans to continue using them.

Judge Conley also denied an Anheuser Busch motion to dismiss the case, saying it was likely to succeed in proving misleading statements and some harm to the reputation of MillerCoors. Chicago-based MillerCoors and Anheuser-Busch have the biggest U.S. market share at 24.8 percent and 41.6 percent, respectively, but they’ve been losing business in recent years to smaller independent brewers, imports, and wine and

spirits, according to the Brewers Association. MillerCoors maintains Anheuser-Busch is preying on health conscious consumers who have negative connotations of corn syrup, sometimes confusing it with the high-fructose corn syrup in sodas. The feud threatens to disrupt an alliance between the two companies to work on a campaign to promote the beer industry amid declining sales.

Top, Mike Connell, David Connell and Doug McMillan perform. Bottom, The Connells.

‘It’s not easy’ being The Connells By Dan Reeves For the North State Journal RICHMOND — As a child of the 80’s in Raleigh, The Connells were a household name. A band we knew that was going places. A band the older kids and babysitters wouldn’t shut up about. Of course, I was too young to identify with Mike Connell’s world weary, introspective lyrics, catch references local to Chapel Hill, or absorb the nuances of their hook laden melodies and jangly guitar work. But I was a fan. Like the way a kid born in Boston blindly and unconditionally loves the Red Sox, I loved The Connells. It wasn’t until my late twenties that I truly began to realize and appreciate their gift. Now 38, I’ve seen the band live with more consistency than ever before…and I live in Richmond. In each instance, The Connells, - still armed with core members, Mike Connell, brother David, and Doug McMillan — perform with unbridled vigor and seemingly adolescent joy to sold out crowds of adoring fans. Each show is a testament to the staying power and influence of their music. With aspirations, no loftier than landing a gig at a bar or fraternity house, UNC students David Connell and John Shultz enlisted guitarist, songwriter, Mike Connell to jam with them at a studio on Lloyd Street in Carrboro. In 1984, singer Doug McMillan joined the band, and The Connells were born. The years following saw the group gain national recognition as college radio darlings-, which landed them record deals with major labels. By 1995, they found unexpected stardom in Germany and England, eventually knocking the likes of Sting and Madonna off the European charts. I recently caught up with Mike Connell to chat about the Triangle when The Connells were coming into their own, some ups and downs, and a few things in between: NSJ: It’s been amazing seeing you guys in Richmond. What’s that been like? MC: Playing the National is unbelievable. I never thought we’d get back in a venue like that again. I’m marveled to look out and see so many people in such a cool venue and the response. We’ve been so lucky all along about how forgiving and nice people are to us. Those experiences are really amazing. NSJ: Tell me about the first, actual Connells live performance? MC: Oh, man. It was at a private party in the Cameron Village Underground at a bar called the Bear’s Den. Johnny Quest and The Pound Notes were playing, and since we were sharing a

drummer with JQ (Peele Wimberley), they invited us on stage. We had seven songs at that point. No song titles. NSJ: In conversations and interviews with people like Godfrey Cheshire and Bernie Reeves, the Village Underground in Raleigh stands out as something like no other. What was your experience? MC: There was Café Déjà vu, The Frog and Nightgown, and The Pier. Now, The Pier was the Club. I saw everyone from Iggy Pop to bands from England like the 999. The Go-Go’s were just starting out coming in from LA for something The Pier called “New Wave Monday Night.” It was awesome. NSJ: Was it apparent to you and the band then at that moment that Raleigh and the Triangle was becoming a hotspot for music? MC: No, it was all really just starting to happen largely because of your dad and Godfrey Cheshire. I mean The Spectator had so much to do with what happened in Raleigh and for us. We got the kind of jump start a lot of bands couldn’t because of the Spectator championing The Connells. NSJ: What Triangle bands inspired you and the band when you were just starting out? MC: In ’84, The Bad Checks showed us the ropes. We were

well aware of Arrogance, the DB’s and Let’s Active were huge influences, and The Pound Notes. I’m sure I’m leaving a ton of people out. NSJ: You were finishing law school, writing and performing, and your mother had just passed away. How did you balance that out and decide to move forward with the band as a career?

love. More influenced by British Bands. If you like 3-4-minute pop songs that are, hopefully, melodic, that comparison’s gonna be inevitable. They demonstrated that homegrown bands from the South, small college towns, could make a big splash. They were freaking awesome. NSJ: What happened with the song “74-75”? How did that become a hit in Europe?

MC: It was my second year of law school, and it was like all these expectations of life are laid out, the path I am supposed to be following, I was angry about the situation, so I was like screw it, what, if anything, can happen with the music? So, I committed to that notion. In spring of ‘85, we had recorded with Don Dixon and Rod Abernathy to make Darker Days. Things were just happening. I finished law school, got the bar exam out of the way and said, “dad, thanks for getting me through college and law school, I’m gonna take a job with Schoolkids Records, selling records and see what’s gonna happen with the band.” He was thrilled, of course...

MC: We made (the album), Ring, in ‘93 with Lou Giordano who produced Hüsker Dü, The Goo Goo Dolls, you name it. At this point our record label, TVT was the largest indie label in the US with bands like Nine Inch Nails. A subsidiary of EMI Records in Germany asked Steve Gotleib, President of TVT, to license Ring in Germany. Doubting Ring would have any success in Germany, Gotleib reluctantly agreed. Expecting to never exceed original projections of a few thousand units sold, Ring went on to sell hundreds of thousands of copies. Man, I guess they knew what they were doing when they heard something in “74-75” those Germans would connect with.

NSJ: Can we talk about REM? I read there was a comparison, but I didn’t see it. Is that true?

NSJ: What was it about this song?

MC: Yeah, there was a lot of that. Those guys cast a huge shadow. I was a huge fan. How could you not be? Beautifully crafted songs with amazing vocals. I was totally blown away by them. REM was one on of the few American bands I really came to

MC: I still do this day don’t know. I think the tune is catchy enough, but it’s really kind of a snoozer. But, man those guys knew what they were doing. They flew me and Peel over for a press junket and all these DJ’s were congratulating us like it was a done deal. By January of ‘95… it did not take long to knock Sting

and Madonna off the charts. It was crazy. NSJ: What North Carolina Bands are you into these days? MC: Bands Like Hiss Golden Messenger, Surrender Human, Scott Carle’s band, Bull City, The Roman Spring, goes without saying, the Avett Brothers. Chatham County Line, The Veldt, Dillon Fence, Greg Humphrey’s Electric Trio, man there are too many to name. Tift Merrit! NSJ: What’s next for you guys? MC: We are hoping for more shows in the spring and summer, but we’ll see how it goes. I don’t want to jinx anything. After the success of Darker Days, The Connells went on to record Boylan Heights in 1987 with legendary NC producer Mitch Easter (Let’s Active, REM), Fun & Games in 1989 with Gary Smith (The Pixies), 1990’s One Simple Word in Whales at the famed, Rockfeild Studios, where Queen’s A Night at the Opera was recorded a few decades before. And, eventually Ring in 1993 which brought The Connell’s major success in Europe due largely to the reception in Germany of the single “74-75”, the appeal of which Mike Connells still doesn’t fully comprehend. Following the immense reception of Ring, The Connells released 1996’s Weird Food and Devastation, Still Life in 1998, Old School Dropouts in 2001, and Stone Cold Yesterday: Best of The Connells in2016.
