In this Nov. 14, 2017 file photo, crews with Duke Energy continue to remove coal ash from the old coal ponds at the Sutton Plant, in Wilmington, N.C. Duke Energy Corp., the country’s largest electric company, was ordered Monday, April 1, 2019 to excavate coal ash from all of its North Carolina power plant sites, slashing the risk of toxic chemicals leaking into water supplies but potentially adding billions of dollars to the costs consumers pay.

Trump eases up on border shutdown threat

By Emery P. Dalesio The Associated Press

President Donald Trump eased up Tuesday on his threats to shut the southern border this week as officials across his administration explored options that might satisfy the president’s urge for action, like stopping only foot traffic at certain crossings. Facing a surge of Central American migrants trying to enter the U.S., Trump last week threatened to seal the border this week if Mexico did not immediately halt all illegal immigration into the U.S., a move that would have enormous economic consequences on both sides of the border.

RALEIGH — The chairman of North Carolina’s Republican Party, an insurance magnate and two of his associates are facing federal charges for a plan to shower the state’s top insurance regulator with campaign contributions to ensure special business treatment, a criminal indictment unsealed Tuesday said.

State GOP Chairman Robin Hayes and insurance and investment firm founder Greg Lindberg were among those charged with bribery, conspiracy and other crimes.

The four defendants appeared Tuesday before a federal magistrate.

Hayes also was charged with lying to the FBI. The 73-year-old former congressman from Concord announced Monday he had changed his earlier plans and won’t seek re-election as the state Republican Party’s chairman in June.

Hayes said complications from recent hip surgery led him to change his mind.

Lindberg — largely unknown in political circles until his contributions started flowing heavily in 2017 — has given more than $5 million to North Carolina candidates, party committees and independent expenditure groups.

Federal prosecutors alleged that between April 2017 and last August, Lindberg sought to shower Republican state Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey with contributions through the state GOP and an independent committee he constructed “in exchange for specific official action favorable to” Lindberg’s business.

2020 Dems report big Q1 cash hauls Several Democratic presidential candidates have released fundraising totals for the first quarter of 2019, offering an early measure of how they’re faring on the campaign circuit.

Full details won’t be available until campaigns file detailed disclosures with the Federal Election Commission ahead of the April 15 deadline. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders says his campaign has raised $18.2 million in the 41 days since he launched his Democratic presidential bid. The campaign of California Sen. Kamala Harris says it collected $12 million from more than 218,000 individual contributions. Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, says he raised $7 million and he hasn’t officially announced his candidacy.

wanted were the removal of a deputy insurance commissioner responsible for examining one of Lindberg’s Durham-based businesses, Global Bankers Insurance Group.

That deputy commissioner — not named in the indictment — was “deliberately and intentionally and maliciously hurting my reputation with other regulators,” Lindberg was quoted in the indictment as complaining to Causey.

Lindberg, political consultant John Gray, and John Palermo — an executive for another Lindberg company, Eli Global LLC, and a former Chatham County Republican Party chairman — met with Causey at least five times in the winter and spring of 2018 to discuss favors and money, prosecutors said.

Lindberg’s team urged Causey to hire Palermo to replace the investigating deputy commissioner or become her boss, prosecutors said. Causey eventually refused, fearing Palermo’s ties to Lindberg’s company would be discovered by journalists, the indictment said. Lindberg then proposed “we recruit someone brand new to the Department with the same skill set,” the indictment said.

Palermo then created an independent expenditure committee able to spend unlimited amounts on political campaign with limited public disclosure that was funded with $1.5 million of Lindberg’s money, prosecutors said. In all, Lindberg and his associates promised Causey $2 million in donations.

Hayes, prosecutors said, directed that $250,000 previously contributed to the state GOP See HAYES, page A2

Duke Energy ordered to remove remainder of coal ash ponds in NC

By David Larson North State Journal RALEIGH — The country’s largest electric company was ordered Monday to excavate coal ash from all of its North Carolina power plant sites, mitigating the risk of toxic chemicals leaking into water supplies but potentially adding billions of dollars to the rates consumers pay.

Duke Energy must remove the residue left after decades of burning coal to produce electricity, North Carolina’s environmental agency said. The company had proposed covering some storage ponds with a waterproof cap, saying that would prevent rain from passing through and carrying chemicals through the unlined bottoms and would provide

a quicker and cheaper option.

“It is a surprise based on what we had seen and where I thought they were,” said Donald van der Vaart, former secretary of the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality, in an interview. “I would expect Duke will scrutinize the decision and maybe bring some sort of legal action. The real questions are, ‘Is it necessary? Does the benefit outweigh the cost?’ As far as I know, this is the largest amount of coal ash that is going to be required to be excavated. So this is going to have implications in other states where they are trying to make this decision.”

Duke Energy said Monday the expanded requirement could douSee DUKE, page A2

Duke whistleblower to receive $33 million settlement

By A.P. Dillon North State Journal DURHAM — The man who blew the whistle on Duke University for the submission of fabricated and falsified data used for obtaining federal research grants will receive $33,750,000 or around 30 percent of the overall settlement of $112.5 million.

The case, filed by Joseph Thomas, a former Duke research analyst in the pulmonary division, alleged that false or fabricated data for 30 grants were submitted by Erin Potts-Kant while working in the Airway Physiology lab of another defendant named William Foster.

The suit states that, “During her eight years as a Duke employee, Potts-Kant fabricated and/or falsified ‘nearly all’ of her grant-funded flexiVent and multiplex experiments,” in order for Duke University to gain grants or publish articles.

US experts reviewing low-carb, other diets for guidelines

By Candance Choi The Associated Press NEW YORK — With keto-friendly recipes sweeping social media, some followers of lowcarb eating are hoping for a nod of approval in the upcoming U.S. dietary guidelines that advise Americans on what to eat.

It may seem minor, but backers say low-carb’s inclusion could influence nutrition advice that doctors give and help shape government food programs like school lunches. Currently, the guidelines cite the Mediterranean, vegetarian and other diets as examples of healthy eating.

“The main point is to get away from a one-size-fits-all diet,” said Nina Teicholz, who has written about low-carb diets.

Last year, U.S. health officials said low-carb diets will be reviewed along with other eating styles for the 2020 update to the guidelines. Backers are hopeful because the panel of experts selected to review the evidence includes members nominated by Atkins Nutritionals and a beef industry group.

The group had its first meeting last week and is expected to issue a report to help shape the guidelines by next year.

Low carb’s consideration comes amid skepticism of nutrition research for producing confusing ad-

Officials from Duke University said that they looked at 50 possible cases and that some misconduct involving Potts-Kant had been caught in 2013. Potts-Kant was ultimately fired for embezzlement.

Duke University issued a statement which said that the $112.5 million settlement payment would ‘include reimbursement of the grants’ obtained due to the falsified data, yet the total of taxpayer-funded grants totaled around $200 million.

“We expect Duke researchers to adhere always to the highest stan-

vice. Low-carb supporters say rising obesity rates show conventional wisdom about nutrition, reflected in the guidelines, doesn’t work for everyone.

Some nutrition experts caution that evidence for low-carb diets is new and that it’s unclear what the long-term effects might be. They say criticism of the guidelines is overblown, and blame the food industry for distorting messages to market low-fat snacks full of sugar and massive portions. They note the guidelines have cautioned against sugar since they were introduced in 1980, and that key recom-

mendations have been largely consistent and remain sound.

Low-carb diets generally limit foods like bread, pasta and sugar to less than 30 percent of calories, or around 750 calories for someone eating 2,500 calories a day. The idea of restricting carbohydrates has been around for decades, and many remember the Atkins craze.

The ketogenic diet has been used to treat people with epilepsy and has resurfaced as a very low-carb diet embraced by celebrities.

Charles Garrison, a mortgage officer in Florida, decided to try the keto diet, including food like waf-

COAL ASH from page A1 ble its excavation costs to about $10 billion. It had previously estimated the task would take up to 30 years to complete at all 14 current and former coal-burning plants in the state.

According to van der Vaart, it will be difficult to know how deep to dig to ensure all the contaminants have been removed. “The details are going to be a challenge.

I think it’s going to be a very difficult thing to do completely.”

Coal ash contains toxic chemicals like mercury, lead and arsenic. These naturally-occurring chemicals are commonly found in low levels in soil but coal ash contains slightly more concentrated levels than unburned coal.

Monday’s decision affects six coal-burning plants still operating in North Carolina. Ponds at eight other power plants around the state had previously been ordered excavated, with the ash to be stored away from waterways.

“We did a thorough analysis of the six sites and it wasn’t a decision that was made by other reasons than the science,” state Department of Environmental Quality Secretary Michael Regan said in an interview. “We’re making these decisions so that they are most protective of public health and the environment.”

Lindberg also had donated $5,000 directly to Causey’s campaign, but the commissioner returned the money.

Causey — who was first elected to a four-year term in 2016 — was not charged in the indictment. Prosecutors said in a news release that he voluntarily reported the scheme.

“Everything I did was in cooperation and with direction of the federal investigators,” Causey told The Associated Press in a phone interview Tuesday.

Thomas, the whistleblower, is eligible for the sizeable payout because the government declined to take the case.

According to a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice, the suit was part of a “coordinated effort” with the multiple other departments including the

lina in ordering its major electric utilities to move their coal ash out of unlined storage.

A 2008 spill in Tennessee drew national attention to coal ash storage. Cleanup became a priority in North Carolina after a 2014 leak from a Duke Energy site left coal ash coating 70 miles of the Dan River on the state’s border with Virginia.

Duke Energy pleaded guilty in 2015 to federal environmental crimes after an investigation found the company allowed coal ash ponds at five power plants to leak toxic waste into water supplies. The company agreed to pay

$102 million in fines and restitution.

Last year, Duke Energy agreed to pay a $156,000 penalty for similar state environmental violations at three other power plants after pollution entered groundwater and the adjoining Catawba and Broad rivers.

The company said it is reviewing the agency’s decision that it must fully excavate its North Carolina sites “and will continue to support solutions that protect our customers and the environment.”

State utilities regulators last year set a precedent in deciding that Duke Energy’s two North

Hayes and Palermo, 63, of Pittsboro, did not return calls inviting comment. A published number for Gray, 68, of Chapel Hill, was disconnected.

Spokesmen representing Lindberg did not provide comments. A spokesman for Global Bankers and Eli Global noted the companies were not charged. Global Bankers has cooperated with federal prosecutors and will continue doing so, spokesman Steven Goldberg said.

Also, Eli Global has “always worked to operate with integrity and honesty in all aspects of our business and will continue to do so,” Goldberg wrote in an email.

supported then-Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin, a Democrat who is now chairman of the state party, and to the N.C. Republican Council of State Committee, which is chaired by Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Forest, who is running for governor in 2020.

Forest’s Exploratory Committee for Governor released a statement Tuesday afternoon that Lindberg had not made donations directly to Forest’s campaign committee and that Forest was never interviewed or questioned by the FBI or any other investigators. “I know these men and consider most of them friends.

I have read the indictments and they are very troubling,” said Forest in the statement. “I believe in the presumption of innocence and thus will withhold judgement. But I agree with the rule of law and if laws were broken, then justice should

Civil Division’s Commercial Litigation Branch and the U.S. Attorney’s Offices for the Middle District of North Carolina and the Western District of Virginia.

But the suit was filed by Thomas and his attorneys from the Virginia law firm Gentry Locke Rakes & Moore.

The lawsuit was filed under the qui tam or whistleblower provision of the False Claims Act and under that act, the government can either take over the whistleblower’s suit or the whistleblower sues on the behalf of the government.

In the latter case, where the whistleblower sues on behalf of the government, the amount of the settlement that is shared with the whistleblower is higher. That

is what happened here.

“If the government had taken the case,” said Gary Jackson an attorney with the Farin Law Offices. “Then there would have been a limitation of 15-25% instead of 30%.”

“It’s very rare for a whistleblower to get 30%,” Jackson said. “It happens when the government declines to take the case and the private lawyers pursue the case.”

Jackson thinks that cases like this one might make it more likely others in similar situations will come forward.

“In looking ahead,” said Jackson. “I think settlements like this — a case like this — have the effect of getting the attention of universities and their donors. It’s a wake-up call.”

“I don’t plan on being super strict about it forever,” he said.

Low-carb diets can work well for people with type 2 diabetes who are more sensitive to carbohydrates. But the benefits of low-carb can also be overblown, and people still have to make sure their overall diet is healthy, said Kevin Hall of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.

Some nutrition experts say sticking to low-carb diets can be hard, and that people should make changes that can last. Marion Nestle, a nutrition researcher who helped write the 1995 guidelines, said she prefers guidance that encourages healthy habits, such as the types of food to eat or limit.

“People don’t eat nutrients, they eat food,” she said.

Adding low-carb diets could further muddle messages. The guidelines, now more than 120 pages, also advise people to limit the saturated fat commonly found in meat and butter — foods many link with low-carb diets.

Instead of adding another diet to the mix, simplifying the guidelines would be more useful, said Stanford University health policy researcher John Ioannidis.

“If we eat more, that will make us obese. That’s 100% correct,” he said.

Carolina divisions could charge ratepayers the first $778 million portion of cleanup costs.

The Utilities Commission also assessed the company a $70 million mismanagement penalty, finding that Duke Energy’s “irresponsible management” of its ash pits” resulted in cost increases greater than those necessary to adequately maintain and operate its facilities.”

State Attorney General Josh Stein said last year he will try to stop Duke Energy from passing along its cleanup costs to 3.4 million North Carolina power customers, arguing that corporate mismanagement increased costs that shareholders should also be forced to bear.

But van der Vaart said the increase in cost to ratepayers due to this decision is unavoidable. “It means electricity prices are going to go up, which is always unfortunate because the least able to pay will be hurt the most. This is certainly consistent with the Left’s efforts to make electricity more expensive, and specifically coal more expensive. That’s going to be used to push for more solar, wind and natural gas.”

Charlotte-based Duke Energy has 7.6 million electricity customers in the Carolinas, Florida, Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio.

be served. They are facing serious charges.”

The North Carolina Republican Party released a statement later on April 2 from party counsel Josh Howard, in response to the developments.

“Early this morning, the North Carolina Republican Party was made aware of several indictments surrounding the conduct of a major donor to both major political parties and two of his associates. The Party has been cooperating with the investigation for several months, including staff members providing statements and responding to various document requests. The Party, which has its day to day operations managed by professional staff under the direction of the NCGOP Central Committee, remains fully operational and focused on its mission at hand.”

“We expect Duke researchers to adhere always to the highest standards of integrity, and virtually all of them do that with great dedication.”

‘Pretend you have a cold’: Pelosi advises Biden on women

US stops F-35 fighter jet parts delivery to Turkey

By Lolita C. Baldor The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — After months of warnings, the United States has stopped delivery of F-35 fighter jet parts to Turkey in retaliation for Ankara’s decision to move ahead with the purchase of a Russian surface-to-air missile system, the Pentagon said Monday.

Top U.S. government leaders have repeatedly threatened to shut down Turkey’s plan to buy the F-35 advanced fighter aircraft if Turkey didn’t abandon efforts to buy the S-400 Russian system. Halting the delivery of parts and manuals needed to prepare for the aircraft’s planned delivery this summer is the first step toward ending the actual aircraft sale.

“The United States has been clear that Turkey’s acquisition of the S-400 is unacceptable,” said acting Pentagon spokesman Charles Summers Jr. “Until they forgo delivery of the S-400, the United States has suspended deliveries and activities associated with the stand-up of Turkey’s F-35 operational capability. Should Turkey procure the S-400, their continued participation in the F-35 program is at risk.”

The U.S. move comes just days after Turkey’s foreign minister said his country was committed to the deal to buy the Russian system and was discussing delivery dates.

American defense and military leaders have said that unless Turkey, a NATO ally, reconsidered its purchase of the

S-400, it would forfeit other future American military aircraft and systems. The U.S. and other NATO allies have repeatedly complained about the purchase, saying it is not compatible with other allied systems and would represent a threat to the F-35.

During a Capitol Hill hearing last month, U.S. Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti, the top NATO general, said his best military advice would be that the U.S. not work with an ally that’s acquiring Russian systems that can threaten one of the American military’s most advanced capabilities. Officials have also expressed concerns that Turkey’s acquisition of both U.S. and Russian systems could give Moscow access to sophisticated American technology and allow it to find ways to counter the F-35.

“Turkey’s decision to purchase the S-400 air defense system from NATO’s adversary Russia is alarming and could have severe national security implications for the United States,” said U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC). “I applaud the Pentagon’s decision to suspend Turkey’s F-35 capabilities, and I’ll continue to work with my colleagues on a bipartisan basis to ensure our NATO allies, including Turkey, are meeting their obligations.”

The U.S. had agreed to sell 100 of its latest, fifth-generation F-35 fighters to Turkey, initially planning to deliver the two aircraft to Turkey in June.

Summers said that although Washington continues to talk with Turkey about the matter, the Pentagon has begun taking necessary steps to find oth-

er sources of supply for the Turkish-produced parts of the F-35.

The department, he said, is taking prudent steps to protect the supply chain and the shared investments in the aircraft technology.

Pentagon leaders have warned that ending Turkey’s participation in production would likely force other allies to take on that role and could delay aircraft delivery.

U.S. leaders have pressed Turkey to buy an American-made air defense battery, and in December the State Department approved the sale of a $3.5 billion U.S. Patriot system to Ankara.

Turkey’s foreign minister said Friday his country was committed to buying the Russian missile defense system. Speaking at a joint news conference with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, in the Mediterranean coastal city of Antalya, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu ruled out the possibility of Turkey selling the S-400s to another country as suggested by some analysts as a compromise solution.

“As a principle, it is contrary to international laws for a third country to oppose an agreement between two countries,” Cavusoglu said. “We are committed to this agreement. There can be no such thing as selling to a third country. We are buying them for our own needs.”

Cavusoglu also insisted Turkey had met all of its obligations concerning the F-35 program.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As former Vice President Joe Biden’s camp scrambles to contain any political damage over his past behavior with women, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has some words of advice: Keep your distance.

“Join the straight-arm club,” Pelosi told a breakfast hour Washington event on Tuesday.

In other words, keep your handshakes at arms’ length and don’t be touchy-feely.

“Just pretend you have a cold and I have a cold,” Pelosi said.

Pelosi, D-Calif., told the event, which was sponsored by Politico, that Biden “has to understand that in the world we are in now people’s space is important to them and what’s important is how they receive it, not necessarily how you intended it.”

Her remarks came as Biden’s aides are striking a more aggressive tone as he considers running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination and faces scrutiny over his past behavior toward women.

In a statement on Monday, Biden spokesman Bill Russo blasted “right wing trolls” from “the dark recesses of the internet” for conflating images of Biden embracing acquaintances, colleagues and friends in his official capacity during swearing-in ceremonies with uninvited touching.

Two women have said Biden touched them inappropriately in the past. Amy Lappos, a former aide to Democratic Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut, said Monday that Biden touched her face with both hands and rubbed noses in 2009. Former Nevada politician Lucy Flores penned a magazine essay last week in which she wrote that Biden kissed her on the back of the head in 2014.

The developments underscored the challenge facing Biden should he decide to seek the White House. Following historic wins in the 2018 midterms, Democratic politics is dominated by energy from women. The allegations could leave the 76-year-old Biden, long known for his affectionate mannerisms, appearing out of touch with the party as the Democratic presidential primary begins.

Lappos told The Associated Press that she and other Himes aides were helping out at a fundraiser in a private home in Hartford, Connecticut, in October 2009 when Biden entered the kitchen to thank the group for pitching in.

“After he finished speaking, he stopped to talk to us about how important a congressional staff is, which I thought was awesome,” Lappos said.

She said she was stunned as Biden moved toward her.

“He wrapped both his hands around my face and pulled me in,” said Lappos, who is now 43.

“I thought, ‘Oh, God, he’s going to kiss me.’ Instead, he rubbed nos-

“After he finished speaking, he stopped to talk to us about how important a congressional staff is, which I thought was awesome. ...He wrapped both his hands around my face and pulled me in. ...I thought, ‘Oh, God, he’s going to kiss me.’ Instead, he rubbed noses with me.”

Amy Lappos, former aide to Democratic Rep. Jim Himes

es with me.”

Biden said nothing, she said, then moved off.

She said the experience left her feeling “weird and uncomfortable” and was “absolutely disrespectful of my personal boundaries.”

The Hartford Courant first reported Lappos’ assertion.

Russo, Biden’s spokesman, didn’t directly respond to Lappos, instead referring to a Sunday statement in which Biden said he doesn’t believe he has acted inappropriately during his long public life. The former vice president said in that statement: “We have arrived at an important time when women feel they can and should relate their experiences, and men should pay attention. And I will.”

Biden hasn’t made a final decision on whether to run for the White House. But aides who weren’t authorized to discuss internal conversations and spoke on the condition of anonymity said there were no signs that his team was slowing its preparations for a campaign.

Asked on Monday by the AP about the accusations against Biden, Pelosi said, “I don’t think that this disqualifies him from running for president, not at all.”

Biden’s potential Democratic rivals haven’t rushed to back him up. Over the weekend, presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren and Kirsten Gillibrand came closest to calling out the former vice president. Warren, a Massachusetts senator, said Biden “needs to give an answer” about what occurred. Gillibrand, a New York senator, said, “If Vice President Biden becomes a candidate, this is a topic he’ll have to engage on further.”

Ultraviolet, a women’s advocacy group, tweeted: “Joe Biden cannot paint himself as a champion of women and then refuse to listen and learn from a woman who says his actions demeaned her. Good intentions don’t matter if the actions are inappropriate.

Do better, Joe. And thank you @ LucyFlores for coming forward.”

Supreme Court won’t stop enforcement of bump stock ban

By Jessica Gresko The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Supreme Court on Thursday declined to stop the Trump administration from enforcing its ban on bump stock devices, which allow semi-automatic weapons to fire like machine guns.

The ban took effect Tuesday.

Gun rights groups asked the court Monday to keep the government from enforcing the ban for now.

Chief Justice John Roberts declined one request for the court to get involved on Tuesday and a second request was declined by the court on Thursday. That was the only remaining request. The justices didn’t say anything in declining it.

The administration’s ban puts it in the unusual position of arguing against gun rights groups. President Donald Trump said last year that the government would move to ban bump stocks. The action followed a 2017 shooting in Las Vegas in which a gunman attached bump stocks to assault-style rifles he used to shoot concertgoers from

his hotel room. By using the devices, which allow shots to be fired more rapidly, the gunman was able to fire more than 1,000 rounds in 11 minutes. Fifty-eight people were killed and hundreds were injured.

The Trump administration’s move was an about-face for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. In 2010, under the Obama administration, the ATF found that the devices were legal. But under the Trump administration, officials revisited that determination and found it incorrect. The revised regulation, which went into effect Tuesday, requires owners either to destroy their bump stocks or surrender them. The government estimates hundreds of thousands of the devices have been sold.

The revised regulation was met with resistance from gun rights advocates, and several lawsuits were filed to try to stop the ATF from enforcing the ban. But lower courts have so far declined to keep the administration from moving forward with the ban, and the Supreme Court declined to get involved to halt it.

VISUAL VOICES

EDITORIAL | FRANK HILL

‘I hate for us to have the reputation of being stupid’ It is generally assumed that a person resorting in conversation to profanity and obscenities is short of an adequate vocabulary.

ON JAN. 17, 1984, former governor and then-Duke President Terry Sanford gave his Duke students a life lesson about their behavior during basketball games that should resonate today for all of us on both sides who engage in public discourse and politics.

Duke always has had raucous fans dating back to the early 1960s.

When they were great and going to Final Fours, the fans were secondary to the action on the basketball court.

When Duke’s fortunes went south in the 1970s, so did the nasty vitriol towards the opposition.

Duke returned to the national championship game in 1978 against Goose Givens and Kentucky. In 1980, despite having been ranked No. 1 for much of the season, Duke lost in the Elite Eight on March 15 to Joe Barry Carroll and the Purdue Boilermakers.

Immediately after the loss, then-head coach Bill Foster bolted for South Carolina, rumor being that Duke AD Tom Butters had refused to pave the dirt parking lot behind Cameron Indoor Stadium as Foster requested among other things.

Three days later, Butters announced the hiring of a head coach from Army, of all places, with the impossible-to-pronounce name of Mike Krzyzewski, to replace Foster.

The Blue Devils were not very good in the first three years of Coach K’s reign. Duke fans thought they were horrible. They lost to Wagner. At home. In Cameron Indoor Stadium.

When people lack talent, they tend to use brute force or anger to lash out at everyone.

Duke students resorted to vulgarity.

After years of steadily deteriorating behavior, the final straw came in a January 1984 game at Cameron when condoms were thrown at Maryland’s Herman Veal, who had been charged with sexual assault.

President Sanford sat down to pen what became known as his “Avuncular Letter” which had even Duke students scurrying to their dictionaries to figure out what he was talking about.

His bottom-line message?

“I hate for us to have the reputation of being stupid.”

What “Uncle Terry” wrote to his students then should serve as a

reproach, a reprimand and an exhortation to all of us who engage in politics today.

“It is generally assumed that a person resorting in conversation to profanity and obscenities is short of an adequate vocabulary. That is doubly true in public utterances.

“Resorting to the use of obscenities in cheers and chants at ball games indicates a lack of vocabulary, a lack of cleverness, a lack of ideas, a lack of class, and a lack of respect for other people.

“I hope you will discipline yourselves and your fellow students. …

It should not be up to me to enforce proper behavior that signifies the intelligence of Duke students. You should do it. Reprove those who make us all look bad. Shape up your own language.”

Today’s toxic level of public discourse is just as bad as those Cameron Crazies back then. Or worse.

Have you found yourself thinking out loud or writing that someone is “stupid”? Stop it. Don’t ever do it again. It makes you look “stupid” in the eyes of everyone who sees or hears you say it in public.

It makes your team and your cause look “stupid” as well.

Calling someone “stupid” and expecting them to agree with you is selfdefeating and by definition “stupid.” I have never supported anyone who called me “stupid” even if I agreed with them 95 percent of the time.

Mark Twain is oft-misattributed as saying the following, which doesn’t make it any less true: “It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.”

If calling other people “stupid” makes you feel better about yourself, go ahead and do it. Just know you are making a complete and utter fool of yourself and not making one iota of progress toward winning a political argument.

GUEST OPINION | STACEY MATTHEWS

NY mocks NC’s priorities, but they should really reexamine their own

Did you hear the news?

ON SUNDAY, New York State passed a budget deal that includes a ban on single-use plastic bags across the state. Cities and counties will have the option of using paper bags and charging 5 cents each per bag. Three cents will go to an environmental fund, while the other 2 cents will go toward “local programs to buy reusable bags for low- and fixed-income consumers.”

The ban goes into effect next March.

Democratic lawmakers, who control the state legislature, praised the plastic bag ban. “It’s clogging our sewers and pipes and littering everywhere. And it’s the worst thing for the environment,” said one. Of the optional paper bag fee, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) said, “I do believe that we have to get away from paper bags, too.” So we know a ban on those will happen on down the line as well.

They’ll tell you that they passed this legislation in order to protect the environment. To save it for future generations. “The convenience of plastic bags is simply not worth the environmental impact,” another Democratic state legislator was quoted as saying. “By reducing our state’s usage, we will see less litter in our communities and less plastic pollution in our waterways.”

A little over two months ago, the New York state legislature also enthusiastically passed a bill that completely decriminalized the act of aborting members of future generations at any stage of pregnancy, including when an unborn child would be able to live and breathe on its own. But the bill didn’t just protect abortion providers.

Anyone who murdered a mother and her unborn child would also be protected from being charged with the murder of the unborn child, no matter the stage of pregnancy.

Jennifer Irigoyen was murdered in her Queens apartment building about two weeks after the bill passed. She was five months pregnant. Her

unborn child appeared to be the target of her murderer, who happened to be her ex-boyfriend Anthony Hobson, 48. According to local reports, Hobson “targeted the 35-year-old woman’s stomach.” He’s been charged with Irigoyen’s murder but not that of her unborn child, thanks to New York’s Reproductive Health Act. The state of New York also has a travel ban for all “non-essential state travel to North Carolina.” It was put in place in March 2016, after the controversial H.B. 2 “bathroom bill” was signed into law by then-Gov. Pat. McCrory (R). In painting himself and his state as “antidiscrimination,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), it seems, did not and does not approve of any bill that maintains a woman’s right to safe spaces like gender-segregated bathrooms, locker rooms, showers and the like.

In 2014, Cuomo said on public radio that pro-lifers “have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are.”

New York Democrats are often quick to criticize North Carolina Republicans, but the optics behind what they say are quite fascinating when you step back and look at them.

Consider the fact that you have a state that fancies itself as welcoming, nondiscriminatory and progressive but yet is so unwelcoming to conservatives, is discriminatory against women desirous of safe spaces for themselves and their children and is regressive when it comes protecting unborn children and making a murderous ex-boyfriend pay for killing one.

But they’re gonna save the environment, y’all. One plastic bag at a time.

For the children.

GUEST OPINION | BOBBY HURST

A private sector 5G network will best serve America’s needs Initial private sector investments in network deployment alone could create 3 million U.S. jobs and grow U.S. GDP by $500 billion.

AMERICA’S FUTURE economic strength, public health, education and defense readiness are all going to depend on our ability to take a global leadership position in 5G mobile wireless. We won the competition for 4G by letting the private sector take the lead; we must again rely on free market principles to secure the infinitely more important 5G technology.

Some countries, most notably China, intend to deploy 5G with a government-led nationalized approach. That’s the wrong approach for a myriad reasons, but a small group of special interests in Washington are urging the Trump Administration to copy China’s approach.

The private sector is already off and running to win the race to 5G. The wireless industry and device makers are constantly announcing new planned deployments, products and partnerships.

The private sector and free market forces will undoubtedly build out 5G faster than the government ever could. A project of this magnitude and importance should be left in the hands of business community and our country’s most innovative minds. The private sector is already committed to building the best 5G network in the world as wireless providers are eager to invest an estimated $275 billion in 5G networks.

5G matters because 5G will be dramatically different. It will bring incredibly fast speeds with almost instantaneous lag time between command and response — known as latency in the tech world. It will make possible the Internet of Things, telemedicine and virtual reality devices (VR) that could soon change everything from the way students take field trips to how we train and deploy military personnel.

A good example of the possibilities 5G-enabled VR holds is its ability to help veterans deal

with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Exposure therapy has been used for years to treat PTSD. Now, using VR devices that can recreate in intricate, realistic detail the war-fighting environments that led to the condition, military men and women can lessen or even overcome the effects of PTSD and get back to leading healthy, productive lives.

Across industries, the economic potential of 5G is incredible. Just the initial private sector investments in network deployment alone could create 3 million U.S. jobs and grow U.S. GDP by $500 billion. North Carolina could see $8 billion increase in investments and almost 15,000 new jobs, many of them in tech fields that pay well above average wages.

Under the pro-business, free market policies of the Trump Administration, the U.S. economy has boomed. We reached 3 percent growth in 2018, the first time that the U.S. has hit that mark in 13 years. More than 5.3 million new jobs have been created since President Trump’s election and the unemployment rate is the lowest it’s been in nearly half a century.

We can build on this tremendous economic success by applying the same principles to 5G that have spurred our economy’s turnaround. Eliminate government interference in the 5G buildout, minimize regulations and taxes, and support a competitive marketplace in which American companies can innovate and invest, and in turn provide U.S. consumers and employers with the best 5G service in the world.

Let the free market thrive and the U.S. will win the race to 5G. Bobby Hurst served as a councilmember for the City of Fayetteville.

Police aren’t enough SOMETIMES, during my drive to work, I listen to Clarence Maurice Mitchell IV, host of the Baltimore’s WBAL C4 radio show. Mitchell was formerly a member of Maryland’s House of Delegates and its Senate.

In recent weeks, Mitchell has been talking about the terrible crime situation in Baltimore. In 2018, there were 308 homicides. So far this year, there have been 69. That’s in a 2018 population of 611,648 — down from nearly a million in 1950. The city is pinning its hopes to reduce homicides and other crime on new Police Commissioner Michael Harrison.

Another hot news item in Baltimore is the fact that Johns Hopkins University wants to hire 100 armed police officers to patrol its campuses, hospital and surrounding neighborhoods. The hospital president, Dr. Redonda Miller, testified in Annapolis hearings that patients and employees are “scared when they walk home, they’re scared when they walk to their cars.”

Philadelphia’s Temple University police department is the largest university police force in the United States, with 130 campus police officers, including supervisors and detectives.

In 1957, I attended night school at Temple University. There was little or no campus police presence. I am sure that people who attended Johns Hopkins, University of Chicago and other colleges in or adjacent to black neighborhoods during the ’40s, ’50s and earlier weren’t in an armed camp. In the nation’s largest school districts that serve predominantly black youngsters, school police outnumber, sometimes by large margins, school counseling staffs.

Again, something entirely new. I attended predominantly black Philadelphia schools from 1942 to 1954. The only time we saw a policeman in school was during an assembly where we had to listen to a boring lecture on safety.

Today, Philadelphia schools have hired more than 350 police officers. What has happened to get us to this point? Will hiring more police officers and new police chiefs have much of an impact on crime?

Children with no father in the home are five times more likely to be poor and commit crime, nine times more likely to drop out of school and 20 times more likely to be in prison.

No doubt hiring more and better trained police officers will have some impact on criminal and disorderly behavior — but not much unless we create a police state. The root of the problem, particularly among black Americans, is the breakdown of the family unit where fathers are absent. In 1938, 11 percent of blacks were born to unmarried women.

By 1965, that number had grown to 25 percent. Now it’s about 75 percent.

Even during slavery, when marriage between blacks was illegal, a higher percentage of black children were raised by their biological mothers and fathers than today. In 1940, 86 percent of black children were born inside marriage.

Today, only 35 percent of black children are born inside marriage. Having no father in the home has a serious impact.

Children with no father in the home are five times more likely to be poor and commit crime, nine times more likely to drop out of school and 20 times more likely to be in prison.

Our generous welfare system, in effect, allows women to marry the government.

Plus, there is shortage of marriageable black men because they’ve dropped out of school, wound up in jail and haven’t much of a future. Unfortunately, many blacks followed the advice of white liberal academics such as Johns Hopkins professor Andrew Cherlin who in the 1960s argued that “the most detrimental aspect of the absence of fathers from oneparent families is not the lack of a male presence but the lack of male income.”

Cherlin’s vision suggested that fathers were unimportant and if black females “married the government” black fathers would be redundant.

Most of today’s major problems encountered by black people have little or nothing to do with racial discrimination and a legacy of slavery. People who make those excuses are doing a grave disservice to black people. The major problems black people face are not amenable to political solutions and government antipoverty programs. If they were, then they’d be solved by the more than $20 trillion dollars nation has spent on poverty programs since 1965. As comic strip character Pogo said, “We have met the enemy and he is us.”

NATION & WORLD Julián Castro calls for end to criminalizing border crossers

By Paul J. Weber The Associated Press

EUGENE HOSHIKO | AP PHOTO | FILE

In this April 1, 2019, file photo, Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga unveils the name of new era “Reiwa” at the prime minister’s office in Tokyo.

Japan gov’t says era name translates as ‘beautiful harmony’

By Mari Yamaguchi The Associated Press TOKYO — Japan’s government said Tuesday that the official translation of the era name for the new emperor will be “Beautiful Harmony,” setting off confusion while offices rush to make changes before Crown Prince Naruhito takes the throne.

The era of “Reiwa” begins May 1, a day after 85-year-old Emperor Akihito abdicates and hands over the chrysanthemum throne to his elder son.

The cultural importance of the imperial family and the secretive naming process created a frenzy of attention for the announcement of the era name on Monday.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the name, composed of two Chinese characters, was taken for the first time from an ancient Japanese book instead of from Chinese classics. He said it comes from a section about plum blossoms in Manyoshu, a poetry anthology from the 7th-8th centuries, and suggests that “culture is born and nurtured as the people’s hearts are beautifully drawn together.”

Abe did not say which of a range of meanings for each of the two Chinese characters applied to the era name.

Experts and media had a variety of interpretations of the meaning, and initial reports generally settled on “pursuing harmony.” The first character can also mean order, rule, good or auspicious. The second can mean peace, reconciliation or soft.

A Foreign Ministry official

“’Reiwa’ is best interpreted as ‘beautiful harmony... ’Reiwa’ refers to the beauty of plum blossoms after a tough winter, and is taken to mean the beauty of people when they bring their hearts together to cultivate a culture.”

Masaru Sato, the deputy consulgeneral and director of the Japan Information Center in New York gave the official translation Tuesday. “’Reiwa’ is best interpreted as ‘beautiful harmony,’” said Masaru Sato, the deputy consul-general and director of the Japan Information Center in New York. “’Reiwa’ refers to the beauty of plum blossoms after a tough winter, and is taken to mean the beauty of people when they bring their hearts together to cultivate a culture.”

However, some experts said the first Chinese character, “Rei,” today is most widely thought to mean “order,” ‘’command” and “dictate,” with an authoritarian tone.

Historians and experts on the monarchy noted that an 1864 era name proposal of “Reitoku” using the same first character was rejected by the Tokugawa Shogunate, which said it sounded like the emperor was commanding Tokugawa.

“The name sounds as if we are ordered to achieve peace, rather than doing so proactively,” Kazuto Hongo, a University of Tokyo historian, said on TV Asahi.

Yoshinori Kobayashi, a conservative cartoonist who has written books on Japanese emperors, said the character “Rei” portrays “the people kneeling down under the crown. Its meaning, after all, is a command of a monarch or a ruler. ... It is inevitable that ‘Reiwa’ gives a somewhat cold impression.”

As discussions of the era name dominated Japanese newspapers and television talk shows, stores began selling Reiwa goods.

A bakery in Tokyo sold cupcakes decorated with Reiwa toppings, and sweet bean cakes carrying Reiwa logos quickly sold out at a souvenir shop inside Japan’s parliament building. Some bookstores set up Manyoshu sections, and many editions of the anthology were out of stock on Amazon. Department stores were planning to sell gold coins emblazoned with Reiwa.

The announcement gives the government, businesses and people only a month to adjust to a change that affects many parts of Japanese society, though the emperor has no political power under Japan’s postwar constitution. Era names are still widely used in government and business documents and on calendars. Many people use them to identify generations and historical periods.

Discussing an era change in advance was not considered a taboo this time because Akihito is abdicating, a highly unusual step.

AUSTIN, Texas — Democratic presidential candidate Julián Castro on Tuesday called for the U.S. to end criminalizing illegal border crossings under an immigration plan that marks the first policy rollout of his 2020 campaign.

The former San Antonio mayor unveiled his proposals at a time when President Donald Trump is threatening to shut down the southern border with Mexico.

Castro, who is still searching for a toehold in a crowded Democratic field, is also now going further on immigration than his 2020 rivals who have all widely condemned Trump’s border crackdowns and rhetoric.

“The truth is, immigrants seeking refuge in our country aren’t a threat to national security.

Migration shouldn’t be a criminal justice issue,” Castro wrote in a blog post laying out his plan.

Castro is the grandson of a Mexican immigrant and the only Latino candidate in the field.

He has made reversing Trump’s hardline approach to immigration a central part of his campaign since entering the race in January, and like other candidates, has called for pathways to citizenship and stopping construction on a U.S.-Mexico border wall.

“The truth is, immigrants seeking refuge in our country aren’t a threat to national security. Migration shouldn’t be a criminal justice issue.”

Julián Castro

But his new immigration platform now includes specifics that would include making being in the U.S. illegally a civil, and not criminal penalty. Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy on illegal border crossings called for prosecuting every adult, even if it meant splitting families.

Castro is also calling for reconstituting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement by splitting the agency in half and putting enforcement duties elsewhere. Other candidates have been less detailed about their plans for ICE, which some in the party’s liberal flank have called to abolish.

Castro announced a rally in his hometown of San Antonio later this month at the same time Trump is expected to make a fundraising swing through Texas.

UK gets blunt advice as chaotic Brexit becomes more likely

By Raf Casert and Danica Kirka The Associated Press BRUSSELS — A chaotic and costly Brexit becomes more probable by the day unless Britain snaps out of the political crisis that has paralyzed the government and Parliament for weeks, the European Union’s chief negotiator said Tuesday.

Michel Barnier offered EU legislators his downbeat assessment as British Cabinet ministers tried to thrash out a new proposal that the U.K. Parliament could consider following the defeat of the government’s plan and a range of lawmaker-written alternatives.

“As things stand now, the nodeal option looks likely. I have to tell you the truth,” Barnier said in Brussels. “We can still hope to avoid it” if the intensive work in London produces a breakthrough before an April 10 EU summit.

Britain could depart from the

EU without a road map two days after the summit. The leaders of the EU’s 27 remaining countries gave the U.K. until April 12 to leave the bloc or to come up with a new plan, after lawmakers thrice rejected an agreement struck between the bloc and Prime Minister Theresa May. The House of Commons on Monday threw out four alternatives to May’s Brexit deal — the second day of inconclusive votes on options.

Now the prime minister’s Conservative government faces difficult and risky choices. It can gamble on a fourth attempt to push the deal through Parliament, let Britain tumble out of the bloc without a deal, or roll the dice by seeking a snap election to shake up Parliament.

Exiting without a deal in place would jeopardize trade and travel, with new checks on borders and new regulations on dealings between the EU and Britain. Amid

all the uncertainty, analysts have said the economic impact in Britain could be massive.

Ford’s European boss said that if the U.K. can’t work out a deal on leaving the EU that guarantees “frictionless trade,” the vehicle maker “will have to consider seriously the long-term future of our investments in the country.”

Ford of Europe Chairman Steven Armstrong Armstrong told The Associated Press that “a nodeal Brexit would be a disaster for the automotive industry in the U.K.” Barnier warned that challenges remain for the EU too, though said the bloc is prepared for a chaotic exit.

“Being prepared for no deal does not mean that there will be no disruption,” he said.

Barnier urged Britain’s Parliament and government to take a more realistic approach as soon as possible.

“We still have a little bit of pa-

tience,” he said.

French President Emmanuel Macron and Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar also made urgent appeals for Britain to propose an alternative Brexit plan to avoid a no-deal departure from the European in 10 days.

“We cannot spend the coming months on solving terms for the divorce,” Macron said before he and Varadkar met in Paris.

Varadkar stressed “there’s still time” for May to come to the April 10 summit with “credible” proposals.

The EU negotiated a long post-Brexit transition period with May. But it was linked to the overall agreement that hasn’t won approval in Parliament, so “there is no transition if there is no deal,” Barnier said.

Barnier reiterated that the EU was unwilling to renegotiate the 585-page withdrawal agreement but said he would agree to open up the political declaration attached

to the legal text.

In Britain, political chaos continued to reign as the Cabinet held a marathon session to try to find a way out of the crisis. A group of pro-Brexit ministers pressed May to go forward with a no-deal departure. Other Cabinet members and a majority of lawmakers think that would be a disaster.

“We are now in a really dangerous situation with a serious and growing risk of no deal,” Labour Party legislator Yvette Cooper said.

Cooper has introduced legislation, which Parliament is set to consider, this week, that would require May to seek to extend the Brexit process beyond April 12 in order to prevent a no-deal departure.

The government, meanwhile, is pushing for a fourth vote on May’s thrice-rejected deal.

The alternative plan that got the most support on Monday was a proposal for a customs union, which failed by just three votes.

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal KANSAS CITY, Mo. — North Carolina’s 2018-19 basketball season came to an abrupt end at Sprint Center last Friday with a 97-80 loss to fifth-seeded Auburn.

It was an unexpected outcome for a top-seeded Tar Heels team that came into the game playing some of its best ball of the season.

But with the luxury of hindsight, the result might not have been surprising as it first seemed.

Here is a look back at what went wrong for UNC on its shorter-than-expected trip to Kansas City.

Sick and tired The first indication that the Sweet 16 matchup with Auburn was about to go sour came 24 hours before tipoff when freshman Nassir Little came down with the flu. He missed practice on Thursday and was moved to a separate room at the team hotel in an attempt to prevent anyone else from getting sick.

The plan didn’t work. Firstteam ACC forward Cameron Johnson also caught the bug and woke up on Friday with a temperature of 100. Both players gave it a go in their team’s most import-

ant game of the year. It was obvious, though, that neither was close to full strength.

Johnson, the team’s leading scorer, didn’t get his first basket until 3:21 was left in the first half.

He gutted out 29 minutes and scored 15 points before spending the immediate aftermath of the game throwing up.

Little, meanwhile, was a shadow of the explosive offensive force he was during the Tar Heels’ first two NCAA games in Columbus, Ohio. He was 2 of 7 from the floor and had four of his shots blocked, including two dunk attempts. It’s not known if anyone else was under the weather, but UNC looked like a team running on fumes during a second half in which Auburn outscored it by 15 points.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Duke seemed to have all the pieces in place for an NCAA title run, but instead, the Blue Devils will be home for the Final Four.

The Blue Devils had the country’s most dynamic player in Zion Williamson. Fellow freshman RJ Barrett had the second-highest point total in a season in school history, regardless of class. Point guard Tre Jones shattered the school record for assist-to-turnover ratio — 3.62, compared to the 22-year-old previous mark of 3.02.

The team also had two other McDonald’s All-Americans on the roster in Marques Bolden and Cam Reddish, as well as role players Jack White, Javin DeLaurier and Jordan Goldwire.

Duke went into the Elite Eight game with Michigan State with wins against the other three Final Four teams — Virginia (twice), Auburn and Texas Tech.

So what went wrong?

Shooting woes

The Tigers’ strength is the wealth of 3-point shooters on their roster. They showed it by knocking down 9 of 17 attempts in the first half of their second-round NCAA rout of Kansas and by connecting on 13 or more treys in four of their last five games.

As hot as Auburn’s shooters can be, they’re also known to be streaky — shooting less than 30 percent from beyond the arc seven times this season, including a loss at NC State in December.

Although it looked as though the bad Tigers might have shown up in Kansas City when they

Duke was not good from outside, to put it mildly. The Blue Devils’ .308 shooting percentage from three was the lowest in school history by more than 40 points. It was also 326th in the nation out of 353 teams. The other teams that shot as bad as Duke had a .415 winning percentage this season, and only two other teams with 25 or more wins — FSU and LSU — were within 100 spots of Duke’s ranking in 3-point accuracy.

The lack of an outside threat allowed teams to collapse on the inside to try to control Williamson’s attacks at the basket.

None of that might have been a major problem had Duke simply stopped shooting them, but the Blue Devils’ 903 3-point attempts were the second-most in a season in school history.

Toeing the line Duke also struggled from the free-throw line, a problem given that the team’s stars had a playing style that would send them there repeatedly at the end of close games. Duke’s .686 accuracy on free throws was its lowest since the 1995 team that went 13-18.

Barrett hit just two of four from the charity stripe in the final five minutes of the one-point loss to Michigan State — and one of his makes was when he was trying to miss to give Duke the chance at an offensive rebound.

In their previous two-point win over Virginia Tech in the Sweet 16, Tre Jones missed the front end of a one-and-one with 29 seconds left, allowing the Hokies to shoot for a chance to win.

In the one-point win that got Duke to the Sweet 16, Barrett’s game-winning tip-in came after Williamson missed a potential game-ty-

An end to Hurricanes’ playoff drought is there for the taking

Finnish strong Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour is fond of saying his team’s best players need to be their best players.

Recently, Sebastian Aho hasn’t been.

It’s been a breakthrough season for Aho, who is already assured of being a point-per-game player since he’s totaled 82 points.

But Aho’s been church-mouse-quiet since March 8, registering five assists and no goals. He’s still generating chances — he’s had three shots on goal in five of his last six games — but the Hurricanes need him to rediscover the back of the net.

This is Aho’s third double-digit goal drought of the season, and the previous one wasn’t all that long ago — a 10-game goal desert from Feb. 5-23. He followed that with six goals in six games before going back into hiding with this 11game slide.

Carolina needs Aho to find a way to be one of its best players this week.

Carolina has a favorable schedule in the season’s final week

By Cory Lavalette North State Journal RALEIGH — Following Tuesday night’s game in Toronto, the Carolina Hurricanes will have two dates remaining in the 201819 regular season schedule. The looming question is whether there will a postseason for the Hurricanes for the first time since 2009.

Entering the Maple Leafs game, Carolina was in the second wildcard spot with 93 points — one fewer than Columbus for the first wild-card spot and one more than Montreal, which is currently on the wrong side of the playoff cutline.

The Blue Jackets have jumped back into a playoff spot with five straight wins, while Carolina has stumbled of late against playoff competition. The Hurricanes lost both games of a home-and-home last week with the Metropolitan Division-leading Capitals. They rebounded with a 5-2 home win over the Flyers but seemed out of sorts in a 3-1 loss in Pittsburgh on Sunday.

What will take for Carolina to finally return to the playoffs? Here are the keys to ending the Hurricanes’ playoff dry spell.

Beat teams you’re supposed to beat After Tuesday’s game in Toronto, the Hurricanes close out their home schedule with the Eastern Conference’s second-worst team, New Jersey, and then travel to Philadelphia to play another team with little for which to play.

Carolina is just 1-2 this year against the Devils, but gone is goaltender Keith Kinkaid — a

Platoon power

Carolina’s Petr Mrazek has been among the best goaltenders in the NHL since the start of 2019, going 15-6-1 while sharing the net with Curtis McElhinney. frequent tormenter of the Hurricanes — and New Jersey is just 5-9-2 since March 1 after a 4-2 win against the equally hapless Rangers on Monday. In fact, the Devils haven’t beaten a team currently in a playoff spot (through Monday’s games) since a 4-2 win over Carolina on Feb. 10.

The Flyers have been struggling as much as anyone not from Buffalo, going 3-7-0 in their last 10 games. Entering its game in Dallas on Tuesday, Philadelphia had allowed at least three goals in its previous five games. Since March 1, the Flyers have given up 49 goals in 15 games (3.27 goals allowed per game), which is actually an improvement of the 3.33 goals-

against average that ties them with New Jersey for fourth worst in the NHL. While the Hurricanes haven’t won in March at the pace they did in January and February, they have continued to do one thing extremely well: win games they’re expected to win. It’s been nearly a month and a half since Carolina lost a game to an also-ran (a 2-1 loss on Feb. 19 to the Rangers) — the rest of the Hurricanes’ defeats have been against teams in a playoff spot.

If they win the games they should, the Hurricanes will get in.

Tough road for the Habs Why? Because Montreal’s re-

maining schedule is a bear. No, not the Bruins — though that would fit in with who the Canadiens have remaining on their schedule. Montreal plays at home against the league’s best team, Tampa Bay, on Tuesday, then plays at the defending Stanley Cup champions, Washington, on Thursday.

The Canadiens close out their regular season at home — and you can bet Original 6 rival Toronto won’t take it easy on the Habs if a playoff spot is on the line.

Montreal is a combined 1-4-3 against those teams this season.

Two wins by Carolina and one loss from the Canadiens and the Hurricanes clinch a spot.

The Hurricanes have gotten this far because both of their goalies, Petr Mrazek and Curtis McElhinney, have combined to make up the equivalent of a solid No. 1 starter. That said, it might be hard for Brind’Amour and goalie coach Mike Bales to not lean on Mrazek in the final week.

The games are perfectly spaced out — there’s one day off in between each game — and Mrazek has been lights out since the calendar flipped to 2019. The Czech goalie is 15-6-1 the past three months and even better in February and March: 11-4 with a .938 save percentage and 1.87 goalsagainst average.

McElhinney had a stellar February, but he’s now just 3-4-1 in March and could be showing the wear and tear of having played a career-high 1,918 NHL minutes this season at age 35.

The platoon has worked all season, but Carolina might need to roll the dice with Mrazek to give itself the best chance to end its run of early April tee times.

Hornets need help to reach postseason Charlotte has lost three straight and is three games out of a playoff spot with just five games remaining

By Cory Lavalette North State Journal The Charlotte Hornets are on the outside looking in of the Eastern Conference playoff race with a week remaining in the NBA regular season. Their 111-102 defeat at Utah on Monday — the Hornets’ third straight loss — put Charlotte three full games behind eighthplace Miami and fifth among five teams jockeying for the final three playoff spots with only five games remaining.

A tall task has gotten even taller, but here’s a look at the Hornets’ possible path to the postseason.

Five on the floor Heading into Wednesday’s games, Detroit, Brooklyn and Miami held the Eastern Conference’s final three playoff spots. The Pistons are sixth at 39-38, with the Nets a half-game behind (one more loss), and the Heat held the eighth and final spot at 38-39.

That means Orlando (38-40) and Charlotte (35-42) have work to do to unseat one of the three teams currently holding a spot.

The Hornets are going to need help — a lot of it — to make up three games with just five left on the schedule.

Road worries The biggest stumbling block for the Hornets — aside from the ground they need to make up — might be their struggles on the road. Charlotte is a dismal 11-27 away from Spectrum Center this season, and three of the team’s final five games are away from the Queen City.

A silver lining is two of those road games are against New Orleans and Cleveland, teams that are headed to the lottery, along with a 4 p.m. game Sunday in Detroit. The Hornets are 3-0 against the Pistons this year, including a win in Detroit way back on Nov. 11. Charlotte has won two of three

by Kemba Walker, the third most in the NBA. Only Houston’s James Harden (24.8 per game) and Oklahoma City’s Paul George (20.9) shoot more. against the Cavaliers this season, but lost the only game in Cleveland on Nov. 13.

In their lone meeting with the Pelicans this season, the Hornets lost 119-109 at home. But that was an Anthony Davis-fueled win for New Orleans, and the Pelicans versatile big man has missed three straight and is considered questionable for Wednesday’s game.

Coming down to the wire Next Wednesday’s season finale at home against Orlando could determine the playoff fates of both teams. The Hornets have won two of three against the Magic, but Orlando won the most recent game, on Feb. 14, 127-89. Kemba Walker scored just 10 points on 4-of-20 shooting that game. it was one of just four games this season Walker did not hit a 3-pointer, going 0 for 7.

The head-to-head game against the Magic will be a must-win, and the Hornets will also have to do some scoreboard watching, particularly of the Heat and Nets’ final games.

Just one of Miami’s final five games comes against a team already eliminated from the postseason. That includes games against the East’s No. 2, 3 and 4 teams — Toronto, Philadelphia and Boston, and the Heat have won just one of eight against those three teams. Throw in a road game against the Nets, and Miami’s schedule is even more difficult than that of the Hornets.

The Nets have just four games left, all against teams in an Eastern Conference playoff spot. That includes the conference’s two top teams, Milwaukee and Toronto,

Guard Kemba Walker and the Hornets have an uphill climb to reach the postseason after losing three straight games. plus a trip to Indiana and the season finale against the Heat. Brooklyn is a combined 2-9 against those teams this season.

The reason Charlotte’s season-ending home game against Orlando is so important is the fact the Magic have the easiest slate the rest of the way. They play the league-worst Knicks on Wednesday at home, then host the lot-

tery-bound Hawks who, to their credit, have won six of their last 10 — including an overtime win over the powerhouse Bucks on Sunday.

Orlando visits Boston on Sunday, and the Magic have beat the Celtics in both their previous matchups. Then next Wednesday, they visit Charlotte for both teams’ final game of the regular season.

The Hornets hold a head-tohead tiebreaker with the Pistons, but Detroit is up four games with five remaining — including the Pistons’ season-ending game against the lowly Knicks. Assuming Detroit beats New York, the Hornets would need to win out while the Pistons lost their other four games to see Charlotte leap over them in the standings.

Final Four boasts tough defenses, veteran lineups

Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett are likely both headed to the NBA, and fellow Duke freshmen standouts Cam Reddish and Tre Jones could follow them after one year in Durham.

New-look Blue Devils face uncertain offseason Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski has embraced one-and-done players, but he’s losing a wealth of talent this year

By Shawn Krest North State Journal WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following Duke’s Elite Eight exit at the hands of Michigan State, there are plenty of question marks facing the Blue Devils.

Who’s leaving Building a team on the oneand-done model, Duke is used to having most of its production depart following each season. This year will be no different. Zion Williamson has NBA teams tanking to get into position to draft him, and RJ Barrett will hear his name called soon afterward during this year’s NBA Draft. It’s difficult, if not impossible, to construct a scenario where either returns to Duke.

Cam Reddish is also an almost sure-thing to depart. He entered Duke with the intention of being a one-and-done, and his late-season knee trouble likely underscored the risks of playing for free for another season.

While Reddish’s 13.5 points per game and .333 shooting on 3-pointers this season were both likely lower than he’d hoped, the year doesn’t seem to have dimmed his draft prospects much. The NBA drafts on upside and potential, and teams will see plenty of both.

Currently, most mock drafts have him going with the fifth pick. Only NBA Draft Net has him lower, at eighth, still comfortably in the lottery. If Reddish gets similar feedback from the experts, expect him to leave with his two classmates.

Point guard Tre Jones isn’t quite the open-and-shut case as

DUKE from page B1 ing free throw with seconds left.

Possible Discord All season, coach Mike Krzyzewski and the players raved about how close-knit the team was, but there were signs near the end that all was not well.

Cam Reddish was a late scratch for the Sweet 16 game with a knee injury. The comments afterward seemed to indicate that it was Reddish’s decision not to make a go of it, rather than the Duke medical staff’s.

“He’s had a little bit of problem with his knee,” Krzyzewski said. “It’s not structural — nothing structural. A jumper’s knee, a tendonitis. I guess there are a number of different things. At different times it can inhibit you, or you feel pretty good, and then you can play. Or you can work yourself through it.”

Some of Reddish’s teammates were more direct.

“They told me I was going to start with 10 minutes on the clock left (before tipoff) because Cam decided he wasn’t going to play,” Alex O’Connell said.

“I told him it’s OK. You don’t have to play if you think something is bothering you,” William-

his three freshmen teammates.

Still, it seems unlikely, at best, that he would choose to return to Durham for another year.

Older brother Tyus left after one season and is in his fourth year in the league.

The two Jones brothers have very comparable Duke stat lines:

Tyus Tre Minutes 33.9 34.2 FG% .417 .414 FT% .889 .758 3-pt.% .379 .262 Rebounds 3.5 3.8 Assists 5.6 5.3 Steals 1.5 1.9 Turnovers 1.9 1.5 Points 11.8 9.4 The biggest difference between the two is in outside shooting, where Tyus has the clear advantage. Tre is an inch taller, however and has a better assist-to-turnover ratio.

A case can also be made that it will be tough for Tre to impress NBA teams with another year in college. Passing to a new crop of freshmen who likely won’t be anywhere near the finishers that Barrett and Williamson were means his assist numbers might fall.

Jones’ style of play also puts him at risk for injury, as the Syracuse game — where he suffered a hard hit that kept him out two games — showed.

Finally, with his mother battling illness in Minnesota, Jones might want the freedom and flexibility that an NBA schedule and salary offer to get to see her more often.

Most mock drafts have him going in the first round, anywhere from 19 to 29. NBA Draft Net is the only one that has him as a projected second-rounder.

Look for Jones to at least go through the evaluation process before deciding. It’s doubtful that he’ll hear much that convinces

him to stay.

Then there’s the doomsday scenario. Who else might leave? How about Marques Bolden? Near 7-footers are always popular in the draft, and so is youth. Bolden, who showed improved movement, particularly on defense, once he got fully healthy, may decide that it’s worth potentially spending some time in the G League rather than risk getting another year older in college.

Who’s arriving As usual, Duke has a highly rated freshman class coming in.

Duke’s three-man class currently ranks 10th nationally and second in the ACC. Center Vernon Carey is the No. 3 player in the class.

Forward Wendell Moore is also in the top 25, and combo guard Boogie Ellis will likely be tasked with replacing Jones, if he leaves.

Duke is also still targeting Minnesota forward Matthew Hurt, a big man with more than 4,000 career points in high school. Carey and Moore were working on convincing Hurt to join them in Durham while they were all at the McDonald’s High School All-American game, as well as Trendon Watford, a 6-foot-9 power forward who has yet to receive a scholarship offer from Duke.

Tristan Enaruna, a 6-foot-9 small forward, has also gotten some interest but no offer at this point.

There are rumblings that Mike Krzyzewski may be considering backing off on the one-and-done recruiting, perhaps in preparation for the rule changing in upcoming seasons. The late-cycle recruiting focuses seem to be supporting that approach. While Duke may not have the frontline talent of Williamson-Barrett-Reddish, the class, with an improving Javin DeLaurier, Jordan Goldwire, Alex O’Connell and Jack White, should keep the Blue Devils near the top of the polls again.

THE FINAL FOUR features tough defenses, a surging team that hasn’t lost in five weeks and one Hall of Fame coach.

Virginia, Michigan State, Texas Tech and Auburn earned their trips to Minneapolis for this weekend’s national semifinals by emerging from regions filled with high seeds. The Cavaliers are the last top seed, while the Spartans, Red Raiders and Tigers ousted the other No. 1s in the regional rounds.

Here’s a look at each team: VIRGINIA The Cavaliers were in the top six of the AP Top 25 all year while winning a share of the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season title.

Why they’ll win: Their defense tests even the best offenses by clogging the paint to turn away penetration. And while running a clock-controlling offense, the Cavaliers are more efficient (123 points per 100 possessions, according to KenPom) with their limited possessions than ever under Tony Bennett.

Veterans like Kyle Guy and Ty Jerome (or Mamadi Diakite, judging by his overtime-forcing shot in the Elite Eight against Purdue) can hit tough shots for a team that finally has its Final Four breakthrough.

Why they won’t: If the Cavaliers struggle for stops, the pressure increases on an offense prone to droughts, even on the best of nights.

They hit just enough outside shots to survive Purdue’s Carsen Edwards scoring 42 points Saturday. But in Virginia’s loss to Florida State in the ACC Tournament, the Cavaliers went six second-half minutes without a basket and couldn’t catch up as the hot-shooting Seminoles took control.

MICHIGAN STATE The Spartans, a No. 2 NCAA seed after winning the Big Ten Tournament, pushed past No. 1 overall seed Duke in a tense regional final.

Why they’ll win: The Spartans have veteran confidence from winning 14 of 15 games and join Virginia in the top 10 of KenPom’s offensive and defensive efficiency rankings.

Big Ten player of the year Cassius Winston is a masterful floor leader and is complemented by Nick Ward and Xavier Tillman inside.

Lastly, this is Hall of Famer Tom Izzo’s eighth Final Four compared to the other three coaches making their debuts.

Why they won’t: While the Spartans took care of the ball in the regionals, they ranked among the nation’s worst in turnover margin this season.

Michigan State isn’t particularly deep after several injuries, notably losing guard Joshua Langford (season-ending foot injury). And Ward has yet to crack double figures since returning from a five-game absence following a hand injury.

TEXAS TECH The Red Raiders went from unranked in the preseason to reaching their first Final Four as a No. 3 seed.

Why they’ll win: Simply: Defense and Jarrett Culver.

The Red Raiders, who have won 13 of 14, lead KenPom’s defensive efficiency rankings (84.1 points allowed per 100 possessions). They were dominant against Northern Kentucky, Buffalo and Michigan in the tournament, then held top-seeded Gonzaga — KenPom’s No. 1 offense — in check.

Texas Tech is allowing 37 percent shooting while averaging nearly 17 points off turnovers in the tournament.

As for Culver, the 6-foot-6 sophomore and Big 12 player of the year is averaging 21.5 points and 6.8 rebounds in the tournament, exceeding his season averages.

Why they won’t: Defenses will focus on Culver, who carries a big load by taking 176 more shots and 93 more free throws than the next-closest teammates.

The Red Raiders also aren’t great on the boards. They’ve largely navigated around that problem after being outrebounded in nearly half their games, though the problem surfaced in five of six losses.

AUBURN The Tigers have had a wild ride from seventh nationally in December to unranked and now surging to their first Final Four. They’ve also had significant off-court issues, including a federal corruption case that led to a guilty plea for former assistant Chuck Person and the suspension of assistant Ira Bowman amid allegations he was involved in a bribery scheme during his time at Penn.

Why they’ll win: The fifth-seeded Tigers are playing with confidence after 12 straight wins, including against Tennessee (twice), Kansas, North Carolina and Kentucky. They can bury threes in bunches behind upperclassmen Bryce Brown and Jared Harper.

The Tigers are at their best when harassing opponents into mistakes, taking a 33-14 edge in points off turnovers in two regional wins.

Why they won’t: They lean on 3-pointers, with the romps against Kansas and UNC coming on difficult-to-sustain efficiency (30 of 67, 44.8 percent) that could make them particularly vulnerable on an off night.

Auburn also took a big hit with the loss of sophomore Chuma Okeke (12 points, 6.8 rebounds) to a serious knee injury. Okeke provided a lift by sitting behind the team bench Sunday against Kentucky. His production will be difficult to replace.

son said. “We got you. Worry about yourself.”

Following Duke’s last-second loss to Michigan State, where Barrett had the ball for the final two plays, Williamson indicated that Duke should have called a different play, lending to more speculation that there were issues beneath the surface, as there are with just about any team over the long season.

Continuity The failure of Duke and Kentucky to make the Final Four has been heralded by many as proof that using one-and-done freshman is a flawed strategy. While Michigan State’s experience was likely a key factor in Duke’s loss, the Blue Devils’ inexperience was compounded by the team’s injury struggles.

In the final 24 games of the season, Duke had its starting lineup intact from start to finish in just nine games. Since the Feb. 20 loss to North Carolina where Williamson’s shoe blew out, the starting five has been intact just twice — in Duke’s first two NCAA games.

The lack of continuity, combined with Duke’s shooting from outside and the line, helped to set the table for an earlier-than-expected elimination.

8-timer Izzo, 3 first-time coaches in Final Four Michigan State coach joined

by Chris Beard, Tony Bennett and Bruce Pearl

By John Marshall The Associated Press TOM IZZO DREW up the perfect play at the perfect moment, sending Michigan State past mighty Duke for a spot in the Final Four.

The trip is always emotional, but Izzo has done it before. This will be his eighth Final Four and a chance for a second national championship.

The other three Final Four coaches all will be the new kids at the dance.

Chris Beard’s nomadic journey struck a vein of gold in his 12th coaching stop at Texas Tech, with a gritty pack of ball-hawking players grasping the program’s first Final Four. Their opponent next Saturday in Minneapolis: Izzo’s Spartans.

Virginia’s Tony Bennett finally got over the hump in his 10th season with the Cavaliers, putting them in position for a different kind of history after last year’s historic first-round flameout against No. 16 UMBC. And Bruce Pearl found some gems at Auburn after an acrimonious split with Tennessee, guiding the Tigers to Minneapolis where they’ll face Virginia despite the cloud of a federal investigation hanging over the program.

“I’m so happy for the people at Auburn who have been waiting forever to get their first Final Four,” Pearl said.

Pearl was fired by Tennessee in 2011 and hit with a “show-cause” penalty by the NCAA for a string of violations and lying to investigators.

He landed at Auburn 2014 and the dark clouds followed.

“No matter how low we got this season, no matter how much adversity went through, we always believed this is where we could get to,” said Auburn’s Bryce Brown, who had 24 points in the Elite Eight win over Kentucky.

“There was a burning desire to get these guys and our program to a Final Four and hopefully beyond.”

Tony Bennett, Virginia coach

State just four years ago, the ABA’s South Carolina Warriors three years before that. He took over a middling Texas Tech program in 2016 and turned it around by getting non-five-star players to buy into his defensive philosophies.

Texas Tech reached the Elite Eight for the first time in Beard’s second season a year ago, but not much was expected from the Red Raiders this season after losing five of their top six scorers.

Picked to finish seventh in the Big 12 preseason poll, Texas Tech was one of college basketball’s biggest surprises, sharing the conference regular-season championship with Kansas State to end Kansas’ 14-year reign. After a hiccup against West Virginia in the conference tournament, Texas Tech (30-6) and the nation’s most efficient defense shut down four straight NCAA Tournament opponents to reach the program’s first Final Four.

“It is real. That defense is real,” Gonzaga coach Mark Few said af-

UNC has big holes to fill for next season Luke Maye and Kenny Williams both graduate, and freshman Nassir Little has already announced he’s headed to the NBA

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The body language of the players on the court suggested that North Carolina was a beaten team several minutes before coach Roy Williams finally raised the white flag and removed his starters from the game.

Luke Maye was the last to leave, coming out with 1:05 remaining in the Tar Heels’ 97-80 loss to Auburn in the NCAA Midwest Region semifinals last Friday.

As the senior forward walked dejectedly toward the bench to one final chorus of “Luuuuuke” from his fans at Sprint Center, an era of UNC basketball officially came to an end.

Although there are still underclassmen remaining on the roster that have national championship rings to their name, Maye and fellow senior Kenny Williams are the last significant links to their team’s 2017 title.

With graduate forward Cameron Johnson also departing and a pair of star freshmen likely to leave for the NBA Draft, the Tar Heels will have a vastly different look the next time they take the floor for the opening game next season against Notre Dame.

It’s a realization that hit their Hall of Fame coach with tearful reality during a somber postgame press conference.

“My athletic director is sitting back there and I probably shouldn’t say this, (but) I would coach these guys for nothing,” Roy Williams said, holding back tears during his postgame press conference. “This feeling you’ve had because of the association with them, you have no idea how good that has been. I’ve been a lucky guy to coach these kids.”

Maye and Kenny Williams have been with the Tar Heels for 110 wins over the past four years.

The two combined with Johnson to form the nucleus of a 2018-19 team that earned 29 victories and a share of the ACC regular season championship.

“To really know the feeling, the joy you get from playing here,

ter the Red Raiders bounced the Zags from the Elite Eight.

So is Virginia’s.

Using the same principles his father, Dick, ran at Wisconsin and Washington State, Cavaliers coach Tony Bennett runs a “pack line” defense that forces teams to the perimeter. As the name suggests, Virginia packs its defense into the paint, clogging driving lanes with help defenders already in place to fill the gaps in the defense.

Bennett needed a few years to cement the foundation of his defensive principles, but once he did, Virginia became one of the nation’s top defenses.

The Cavaliers led the nation in scoring defense at 55 points per game this season and are fifth in KenPom’s defensive efficiency.

Virginia (33-3) shut down its first three opponents and survived an offensive onslaught by Purdue’s Carsen Edwards to earn its first Final Four since 1984.

Bounced in a historic loss a year ago, the Cavaliers finally got Bennett one piece missing from his resume.

“There was a burning desire to get these guys and our program to a Final Four and hopefully beyond,” Tony Bennett said.

Now, Izzo.

The master of March may have pulled off the greatest coaching job of his career in the Elite Eight on Sunday, pulling the strings to knock top overall seed Duke and its fantastic freshmen from the bracket.

Izzo’s game plan frustrated Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett and the rest of the Blue Devils most of the day in Washington, D.C. With the game on the line, Izzo drew up a play to free Kenny Goins for a wide-open 3-pointer. The senior guard knocked it down with 34 seconds left, the Spartans clamped down on defense and Cassius Winston broke free to dribble out the clock, practically running all the way to Minneapolis with the ball.

HEELS from page B1 missed 14 of their 19 3-pointers in the first half, the hot Tigers arrived for the final 20 minutes by making 12 of their last 18 — including four off the bench by Danjel Purifoy after star Chuma Okeke (3 for 5) was injured.

A majority of Auburn’s second-half 3-pointers came on wide open looks, created by UNC’s defense continually getting sucked into the lane to stop the penetration of point guard Jared Harper.

“We thought there were some things we could do offensively to get our guys open,” Tigers coach Bruce Pearl said. “When you get a great point guard … they’re a load to stay in front of. And if we’ve got a guy on the perimeter that we can get open, (he’s) going to find them.”

Beaten on the boards

North Carolina coach Roy Williams consoles senior Kenny Williams in the waning moments of the Tar Heels’ Sweet 16 loss to Auburn. you actually have to be part of it,” Kenny Williams said, saying that if he tried to put his feelings about playing for UNC into words, “it wouldn’t do it justice.”

Between them, Williams, Maye and Johnson accounted for 47 percent of UNC’s scoring, 46 percent of its rebounding and 44 percent of its assists this season. As difficult as that will be to replace, the Tar Heels will also likely lose its two best young players as well.

The first domino fell on Monday when Nassir Little announced his intention to enter the NBA Draft and hire an agent.

Little has always expressed his intention to be a one-and-done college player and despite an upand-down freshman season that fell short of expectations, he made it official he would not be back in 2019-20. He averaged only 10 points and five rebounds off the bench.

“This past season on and off the court has been amazing,” Little wrote on his Twitter account.

“I’m thankful for the opportunity to attend such a prestigious university and play for such a storied basketball program. With that said, it is time to pursue my lifelong dream and enter the 2019 NBA draft.”

Coby White’s stock has taken

a meteoric rise over the course of a season in which he ranked second on the Tar Heels in scoring at 16.1 points per game and was tops with 143 assists.

Most NBA Draft sites project him as a top-10 pick with some having him as high as No. 5 overall. Like his freshman classmate, he was noncommittal about his future in the moments following Friday’s game.

“I don’t want to discuss any of that,” he said. “Right now, I’m just thinking about (the loss) and being with my teammates.”

Of those teammates that will definitely be back next season, only big man Garrison Brooks is an experienced starter. The 6-foot-9 sophomore averaged 8.0 points and 5.7 rebounds and was UNC’s best defensive player.

He’ll likely move from the five to the four next year with the arrival of five-star center Armando Bacot. But even so, he’ll be looked upon to increase his offensive production.

After Brooks, the statistical drop-off is significant. No one else on the roster averaged more than three points, three rebounds or 11.7 minutes.

Some of that had to do with injury, as with freshman Leaky Black — who was starting to show

glimpses of a Theo Pinson-like jack-of-all-trades before missing 13 games with a sprained ankle.

Sophomore center Sterling Manley also saw his development slowed by a knee issue that took him out of the regular rotation for good just as the ACC schedule was starting.

Junior shooting guard Brandon Robinson is the most polished of the holdovers, having made 46 percent of his 3-point attempts while compiling an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.6-to-1 off the bench.

With junior point guard Seventh Woods having yet to develop into a reliable contributor and Andrew Platek relegated to little more than mop-up duty, the success of next season’s Tar Heels will almost certainly hinge on players Williams is still in the process of recruiting.

Atop that list is five-star point guard Cole Anthony, who has indicated he’s leaning heavily toward UNC but has yet to commit. The Tar Heels may also be in the market for a graduate transfer wing, with both Arkansas-Little Rock’s Rayjon Tucker (20.3 points per game, 6.7 rebounds per game) and Akron’s Daniel Utomi (14.2, 5.5) acknowledging they’ve been contacted by UNC.

It was a generally accepted by both coaches going into the game that Auburn would have to shoot a high percentage to win, since the Tar Heels were a superior rebounding team and would control the glass the way they did against Iona and Washington in the first two rounds.

There was statistical evidence to back up that presumption, with UNC leading the nation in rebounding average at plus-10.5 per game and the Tigers ranking 229th at minus-1.1.

While the Tar Heels did actually win the numerical battle of the boards 40-36, Auburn was able to hold its own. And with 10 offensive rebounds, leading to 10 second-chance points, they were able to withstand a poor shooting first half and win the game going away.

“They didn’t do anything crazy. They just got to the right spots and got the ball,” sophomore center Garrison Brooks said. “It was tough to see, tough to deal with.

That’s just how it went.”

Crouching Tiger, hidden power Auburn might have been dismissed as just a football school at one point, especially after barely escaping a first-round upset at the hands of New Mexico State. But as it turns out, the Tigers were probably overlooked and underseeded as a No. 5.

They, not the Tar Heels, were the hottest team in the NCAA field. They knocked the blue out of three straight blue bloods — eliminating Kansas, UNC and Kentucky — on the road to Minneapolis, proving that their first ever Final Four trip is anything but a fluke.

entertainment Live-action ‘Dumbo’ struggles to soar at box office

By Lindsey Bahr The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Disney’s “Dumbo” isn’t exactly taking flight at the North American box office the way its other live-action remakes of animated classics have.

The Walt Disney Co. said Sunday that the Tim Burton-directed film has earned an estimated $45 million domestically from 4,259 locations against a $170 million production budget. It’s less than half of what “Beauty and the Beast,” ‘’The Jungle Book” and Burton’s own “Alice in Wonderland” opened to.

The remake of the 1941 animated film stars Colin Farrell and Danny DeVito. It got mixed to negative reviews from critics and currently has a middling 53 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

Audiences who did turn out, however, had a different response than the critics and gave the film an A- overall, according to CinemaScore.

“We think it’s a solid start,” said Cathleen Taff, Disney’s president

of theatrical distribution. “We’re encouraged and hopeful with audience word of mouth.”

Internationally, “Dumbo” grossed $71 million, with $10.7 million coming from China, $7.4 million from the U.K. and $7.2 million from Mexico.

Disney has two other high-profile live-action remakes coming out this year in “Aladdin” (May 24) and “The Lion King” (July 19).

“I don’t think this is a mandate against live-action remakes. But sometimes when you don’t have the reviews, it can affect it,” said Paul Dergarabedian, Comscore’s senior media analyst. “For Disney, the bar is set so high. This is just a little speed bump on what is already a spectacular year for Disney.”

“Dumbo” did bump Jordan Peele’s “Us” to second place. “Us” added $33.6 million, down only 53%, bringing its domestic total to $128.2 million in its second week.

The Lupita Nyong’o doppelganger movie cost only $20 million to produce.

“For a horror, which generally

have the scariest drops in the business, ‘Us’ is really holding in there,” Dergarabedian said. “It’s good news for Jordan Peele.”

Easing the “Dumbo” disappointment, Disney and Marvel’s “Captain Marvel” landed in third place in weekend four with an additional $20.5 million. It’s now earned over $350 million in North America and is expected to cross the $1 billion mark globally sometime this week.

The teen drama/romance “Five Feet Apart” with Cole Sprouse and Haley Lu Richardson took fourth place with $6.3 million, down only 27% in its third week.

And the pregnancy movie “Unplanned” rounded out the top five with $6.1 million from only 1,059 theaters. It’s another success for Pure Flix, which targets the faithbased audience.

“Serving that underserved audience can pay off quite well,” Dergarabedian said.

Not so lucky was “The Beach Bum,” a stoner-odyssey from the provocative filmmaker Harmony Korine starring Matthew McCo-

naughey. It grossed only $1.8 million from 1,100 locations in its first weekend.

The weekend overall is down around 2% and the year is still lagging about 16.4%.

“Next week is going to have two of the biggest genres hitting the multiplex simultaneously,” noted Dergarabedian. The well-reviewed superhero pic “Shazam!” debuts along with a “Pet Sematary” remake.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included.

Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

1.”Dumbo,” $45 million ($71 million international).

2.”Us,” $33.6 million ($22.6 million international).

3.”Captain Marvel,” $20.5 million ($26.4 million international).

4.”Five Feet Apart,” $6.3 million ($6.2 million international).

5.”Unplanned,” $6.1 million.

6.”Wonder Park,” $4.9 million ($2.5 million international).

7.”How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World,” $4.2 million ($2.6 million international).

8.”Hotel Mumbai,” $3.2 million ($640,227 international).

9.Tyler Perry’s “A Madea Family Funeral,” $2.7 million ($35,000 international).

10.”The Beach Bum,” $1.8 million ($427,000 international).

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at international theaters (excluding the U.S. and Canada), according to Comscore: 1. “Dumbo,” $71 million.

2. “Captain Marvel,” $26.4 million.

3. “Us,” $22.6 million.

4. “Song of Youth,” $11.7 million.

5. “The Human Comedy,” $9.3 million.

6. “Mirage,” $8.9 million.

7. “More Than Blue,” $6.6 million.

8. “Five Feet Apart,” 6.2 million.

9. “Money,” $5.4 million.

10. “Bohemian Rhapsody,” $3.5 million.

Column: Boogity!

Boogity! Boogity! Fox Sports needs a change

By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press CHARLOTTE — Darrell Waltrip will soon “Boogity!

Boogity! Boogity!” his way into retirement.

It’s time.

And time for Fox Sports to look at deeper changes in its NASCAR television broadcast, too.

Everyone yearns for an opportunity to say farewell on his or her own terms. Waltrip has that chance now to bring his second career as a NASCAR broadcaster to a close and squeeze out his classic catchphrase as Fox Sports’ portion of the NASCAR schedule wraps up in June.

NASCAR fans have demanded change in nearly every area of the sport, yet one area tiptoed around for some reason is the crackerbarrel, down-home broadcast Fox gives its audience for its coverage of the elite Cup Series. The 1-2 punch of Waltrip and Mike Joy spend too much time spinning yarns from the good ‘ol days while relative newcomer Jeff Gordon awkwardly guffaws along with the gang.

The carnival-like yukfest is

stale, the cornpone of it all only magnified since the network began using current drivers in its coverage of the Xfinity Series.

Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski and others have proven that by simply talking about the action in front of their eyes they can deliver an informative and entertaining program void of back-slapping tales and quips that consistently fall flat.

Waltrip has hinted this could be his last season, ending a broadcast career that began with the 2001 Daytona 500 and Fox Sports’ heralded acquisition of a slice of NASCAR’s TV rights. He was in tears when brother Michael won the race at about the same time Dale Earnhardt was killed in a fatal crash elsewhere on the track.

“Mikey! Alright!” he cried. Then Waltrip looked at Earnhardt’s wreck. “How ‘bout, Dale? Is he OK?” It was a historic moment, but in the years since, Waltrip has become a caricature of himself and the malapropisms and mistakes have only heightened the urgency for fresh voices. He also helped land a TV spot for his younger

brother, who also has an over-thetop, aw-shucks persona.

The Hall of Fame driver conceded in a January response to a Twitter user that his final race could be on the horizon.

Waltrip acknowledged Fox Sports had assembled “an amazing group of young and enthusiastic” talent in his tweet, “but they still need “old guy” wisdom, I’m happy to say that for another year that “old guy” will be me!”

With 11 Cup races remaining in the network’s coverage this season, there has been speculation Waltrip would announce his retirement as early as this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway. The talk was so loud last week — with the assumption that Harvick is in line to replace Waltrip in the booth — that both the 2014 champ and his manager both insisted Harvick will still drive for Stewart-Haas Racing next season.

Fox Sports said no announcement regarding its talent was currently scheduled.

Waltrip is one of NASCAR’s storied characters, one of the first to build a brand around his supersized personality, and he parlayed it into a lifetime as one of the sport’s strongest ambassadors.

But active as he is on social media, there is no way he has missed the overwhelming criticism directed his way over the past several days in particular. He seemed a bit muted Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway, and seemed slow to utter his “Boogity! Boogity!

Boogity! Let’s go racing, boys!” call to open the race.

While Waltrip and Joy have been picked apart by those unhappy with the broadcast, Gordon has seemed trapped since his 2016 debut. The booth is not big enough for the two veteran egos and Gordon, the Hall of Famer who was supposed to be NASCAR’s version of the athleteturned-broadcaster that Tony Romo has become for CBS Sports.

Still trying to shoehorn his way in while being respectful to his elders, Gordon has had to learn to insert his opinion and, well, correct Joy and Waltrip. Dale Earnhardt Jr., meanwhile, was an instant hit with his exclamations of “Slidejob!” for rival NBC Sports.

Fox Sports, like everything else in NASCAR, needs a change and the first will likely be the 70-yearold Waltrip making the biggest call of his 19-season TV career — that it is time to hit the road. He made his debut in 1975 and has been part of NASCAR’s road show ever since.

He has seen it all, from the lean early days to NASCAR’s popularity boom to its current fight to stay relevant.

Retirement has never been his strong suit, though, and Waltrip hung around as a driver when his best days were behind him. He won 84 races and three Cup titles, but was simply turning laps at the end of his career. It was more of a celebrity-style goodbye tour anyway: The Fox deal was waiting for him and he went from the race car to the booth without a break.

That was 2001, and the modern fan NASCAR is chasing to watch on TV or on their devices has little

connection to a driver who made his last Cup start when today’s budding stars like William Byron were still toddlers.

Fox Sports has groomed drivers like Harvick to become broadcasters and has used Bobby Labonte, Regan Smith and new hire Jamie McMurray heavily on race day. The network grabbed analyst Ricky Craven and newshound Bob Pockrass when ESPN pulled out of NASCAR this season, and strengthened its commitment to the sport by investing in a state-of-the art virtual studio set in Charlotte.

Fox’s resources are deep, the pit reporting team is knowledgeable and Larry McReynolds has found a new role since Gordon replaced him in the booth.

Fox Sports should not wait to address its booth until Harvick, who is under contract next season, or crew chief Chad Knaus or whomever is ready. The three-man booth has become passe and there are better ways to utilize the talent Fox Sports already has to freshen up the broadcast.

The sooner Fox Sports and Waltrip acknowledge change is coming, the better it will be for the network and its star broadcaster.

Fox can begin experimenting on how to approach next season and Waltrip can make one more farewell tour that honors his lifetime commitment and contributions to NASCAR. He can look forward to retirement as a NASCAR dignitary.

He can also skip the Monday morning reviews.

Participating companies will also be able to meet with the EDPNC’s North Carolina-based international trade managers, who specialize in industries such as biotechnology, information technology, plastics, aviation, automotive, textiles and furniture.

“Each year, dozens of small businesses that have never or rarely exported participate in our Go Global Road Show and then follow up by calling the EDPNC to help them with programs to increase their international sales,” Loyack said.

But the road show also attracts existing client companies of the EDPNC’s trade division. “More experienced exporters often want to meet regularly with our international representatives to stay abreast of the latest opportunities and challenges in their markets,” Loyack said. “Or, they may want help solving a specific issue, such as where to find a new distributor when the one they have isn’t working out.”

New host campus for Governor’s School West brings opportunity for growth High Point University takes the reins from Salem College, as statewide program for gifted high school students seeks to expand facilities and attract N.C’s best and brightest

By Emily Roberson North State Journal HIGH POINT — The North Carolina State Board of Education and the institutions associated with the North Carolina Governor’s School have announced that High Point University will serve as Governor’s School West beginning in the summer of 2019.

Governor’s School West is transitioning from Salem College in Winston-Salem, the original campus home for North Carolina and a model for the country. Stakeholders say this positions the Governor’s School for the growth necessary to meet the “ever-increasing demand of our outstanding students in North Carolina’s K-12 education public and private schools.” Meredith College in Raleigh will continue to host Governor’s School East.

Lee Conner, President North Carolina Governor’s School Foundation said, “We’re excited about this new chapter for Governor’s School. High Point University will be a great location to renew the community of learning and intellectual inquiry that have defined Governor’s School for 55 years and will continue to do so as it provides a life-changing experience to some of North Carolina’s most talented students.”

The Governor’s School is the oldest statewide summer residential program for academically or intellectually gifted high school students in the nation. Welcoming the first class in 1963 on Salem’s campus and expanding to include a Governor’s School East in 1978 at St. Andrew’s College in Laurinburg (before moving to Meredith College in 2000), the schools offer a five and a-half week summer residential program for high school stu-

dents, integrating academic disciplines, the arts, and unique courses on each of the two campuses, with at least one spot guaranteed for students from all 100 counties, serving up to 350 students at each campus.

The curriculum focuses on the exploration of the most recent ideas and concepts in each discipline, and does not involve credit, tests, or grades. The program is open to rising seniors only, with exceptions made for rising juniors in selected performing/visual arts areas, and is administered by the Department of Public Instruction through the Exceptional Children Division. A Board of Governors, appointed by the State Board of Education, acts as an advisory body.

According to officials, the move was a mutual decision among all parties, with Salem College expressing a need to focus on internal strategic goals moving forward, and High Point University eager to step in, offering to ensure the same high-quality disciplines and staff retention, as well as program facilities that could accommodate future growth.

“For fifty-five years, Salem enjoyed a close relationship with the Governor’s School,” said Sandra J. Doran, President of Salem Academy and College. “Hosting Governor’s School West on our campus this summer would have been difficult because we are planning maintenance and repairs to several of our residence halls and academic facilities. We are pleased that our neighbors at High Point University are able to take the baton and provide a space for this enriching summer program for North Carolina’s brightest high school students, and we hope to welcome the Governor’s School West students to our campus in the future.”

Those involved in the decision point to High Point University’s “innovative and transformational campus” to serve as the home for Governor’s School West. University president Nido Qubein said, “This is a win-win relationship between a thriving institution and outstanding high school students in the state. This is another oppor-

“We are grateful for the passion, investment and work of so many to help make this a successful transition for the summer of 2019.”

State Board of Education Chair Eric Davis tunity the HPU family will have to prepare our younger generation for the world as it is going to be.”

After nearly being cut from the state budget in 2017, Governor’s School alumni from across the state – including elected officials and numerous prominent citizens – joined together in a quickly mobilized and successful grassroots effort to restore funding and ensure the schools’ future. The latest move to High Point University is being characterized as allowing the Governor’s School programs to offer innovation and opportunity in state-of-the-art facilities to meet the growing needs of N.C.’s most gifted students, while honoring the program’s unique and historic role in promoting academic and artistic achievement.

Students selected for the 2019 Governor’s School session have received their invitations, and State Board of Education Chair Eric Davis, sees this transition as the bestcase scenario for this summer and beyond. “We are also thankful for the collaborative support and contributions made by the Governor’s School Board of Governors, Alumni Association, Foundation, site directors, faculty, staff, and school contacts around the state, as well as the Department of Public Instruction, the Governor and his administration, and the General Assembly for their continued investment in this program. We are grateful for the passion, investment and work of so many to help make this a successful transition for the summer of 2019.”

C2 World trade forecasts slashed again amid USChina standoff Geneva, Switzerland The World Trade Organization has cut its forecast for trade growth this year by more than a percentage point, to 2.6%, due to an economic slowdown and amid a trade conflict between the United States and China. The downgrade — from 3.7% forecast issued in September — reflects how quickly the prospects for global business are fading as, among other things, the U.S. and China struggle to agree on how to lift tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars-worth of trade. In 2018, trade grew by just 3% — far below the WTO’s forecast for 3.9%, which had itself been downgraded last year. The WTO oversees international trade rules and settles disputes between countries. The Trump administration has also been critical of the WTO, accusing it of being “unfair” with the United States.

US construction spending up strong 1 percent in January Washington, D.C. U.S. construction spending rose a solid 1 percent in February, led by a strong gain in spending on government projects, which hit an alltime high. The February increase followed an even larger 2.5 percent gain in January and a slight 0.2 percent rise in December, the Commerce Department reported Monday. The gains pushed total construction to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $1.32 trillion, the highest level since May. Residential construction was up 0.7 percent. Government construction jumped 3.8 percent to $303 billion, the highest level on record.

Weakness in home building has been a drag on overall growth, but analysts believe housing construction should rebound this year, helped by lower mortgage rates following the signal by the Federal Reserve that it plans to hold rates steady this year.

The big increase in spending on government projects was led by an increase of 3.8 percent in state and local construction projects. For all of 2018, construction spending rose 3.9 percent to a record high of $1.29 trillion.

It marked the seventh annual increase after construction had fallen for five straight years starting in 2007 with the collapse of the housing bubble.

Kellogg sells Keebler and other brands for $1.3 billion New York Kellogg is selling Keebler cookies and other brands for $1.3 billion, about $2.6 billion less than it spent on that brand alone 17 years ago.

Food producers are trying to find new brands with more growth potential after sweeping shifts in consumer taste, particularly in the U.S. The value of household names like Keebler has deteriorated as families seek food and snack alternatives that are at least perceived to be healthier. Along with Keebler, the Battle Creek, Michigan, company said Monday that it will sell Mother’s and Famous Amos cookie brands, as well as its fruit-flavored snack, pie crust and ice cream cone businesses, to the Italian sweets maker Ferraro. The brands generated sales of $900 million and profits of $75 million last year, according to Kellogg. Kellogg acquired Keebler Foods, founded in 1853, in 2001 for $3.86 billion. Ferrero is best known for the brand Nutella hazelnut cream. The company said Monday that it will also acquire six U.S. manufacturing plants from Kellogg. The sale is expected to close by the end of July.

Rare glimpse into Saudi Aramco shows $111 billion net profit

By Aya Batrawy The Associated Press DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Saudi Aramco’s net profits reached $111 billion last year, according to an assessment published Monday by Moody’s Investors Services that offered a rare glimpse into the state-owned oil firm’s finances before it issues its first bonds in international markets.

That places Aramco ahead of some of the world’s most profitable firms. By contrast, Apple booked a net profit of about $60 billion in its last full year, Royal Dutch Shell had net income of $23 billion and Exxon Mobil $21 billion.

Moody’s said the oil giant’s revenue hit $355.9 billion last year and that it produced 10.3 million barrels per day of crude oil in 2018.

The figures provide the first look in recent memory at Aramco’s revenue and earnings. The company, which began as a U.S. venture with a concession for oil rights in Saudi Arabia, was fully acquired by the Saudi government in 1980.

“I would say that this tells us that Aramco is worth at least one

trillion dollars,” said Ellen Wald, president of Transversal Consulting and the author of “Saudi Inc,” a book about Aramco’s corporate history.

In another assessment issued Monday, Fitch Ratings said Aramco posted profits of $224 billion before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.

Moody’s said Aramco paid $58.2 billion in dividends in 2018 and $50.4 billion in 2017. It remains unclear exactly how these dividends are distributed within the Saudi monarchy and its ruling family.

Fitch said Aramco accounted for around 70% of the Saudi government’s budget revenue between 2015-2017, but it wasn’t immediately clear if that figure included the dividends mentioned

by Moody’s.

In anticipation of a partial listing of Aramco on an international exchange, the Saudi government in 2017 reduced Aramco’s tax rate from 85% to 50%. Such moves are part of an effort by Saudi Arabia to create new income streams and lessen the government’s dependence on oil for revenue.

In their first-ever grade assessment for Aramco, Fitch issued the firm an A+ rating, while Moody’s gave the company it’s A1 rating.

The ratings are considered investment-grade level and indicate low credit risk, but the agencies held off on issuing their top grades to Aramco due to strong links between the Saudi state and the company. Specifically, Fitch noted “the influence the state has on the company through regulating the level of production, taxation and dividends.”

Wald said that five years ago, under the late King Abdullah, the government’s links to Aramco would not have been a significant concern because the company had “essentially complete independence.”

That’s now changed under King Salman and his son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who have taken a much more active role in controlling various power centers in the kingdom, including Aramco, Wald said.

“There’s no telling... what kind of demands this king and his son might make on the company in the future that might have impact

on its core profitability,” she added.

The ratings agencies issued their reports on the same day that Aramco said it will start to meet with investors about selling its bonds which, if issued, would be priced in dollars and traded on the London Stock Exchange. The bonds are expected to help pay for Aramco’s $69 billion acquisition of majority shares in Saudi petrochemical firm SABIC from the kingdom’s sovereign wealth fund.

Fitch said its conservative forecasts show Saudi Aramco’s net debt rising to around $35 billion by 2021, after incorporating the SABIC transaction.

The $69 billion deal with SABIC pumps capital into the Public Investment Fund, which is overseen by the crown prince.

Prince Mohammed has transformed the fund in order to back major development projects throughout the kingdom amid delays to an initial public offering of Aramco, which he’d touted as a way to raise capital for the PIF’s projects.

The deal was struck after the crown prince’s early efforts at attracting Western investors for his social and economic transformation plans suffered a setback following the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi

by Saudi agents inside the country’s consulate in Istanbul last year.

Ford would reconsider UK investments if no deal on Brexit

By Mike Corder The Associated Press HALFWEG, Netherlands — Ford warned Tuesday that it will reconsider its investments in Britain if the country cannot work out a deal to leave the European Union that guarantees smooth trading with the bloc.

At a glitzy unveiling of new cars with electric and hybrid engines, Ford of Europe Chairman Steven Armstrong warned of the potentially disastrous effects of a nodeal Brexit, in which the country leaves without a deal on future trade relations. That could mean tariffs and border checks that could seriously disrupt businesses, particularly the auto industry.

In such a scenario, Ford “will have to consider seriously the long-term future of our investments in the country,” Armstrong told The Associated Press.

The warning came the day after British lawmakers voted down a series of alternatives to Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal with the EU. The EU’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, said the possibility of Britain leaving the bloc without a deal is becoming “more likely” by the day. Britain is due to leave in 10 days.

“We’ve been very consistent since the referendum that a hard Brexit, a no-deal Brexit, would be a disaster for the automotive

We’ve been very clear in saying that could cost us up to a billion dollars a year.”

Armstrong said the company already is spending tens of millions of dollars preparing for the possible effects of a no-deal Brexit, which could clog ports and slow

deliveries of components and cars between continental Europe and the U.K. “The best case for me would be that that money is actually wasted because we actually reach a deal,” Armstrong said. “So I would encourage all parties concerned to figure out how to get us to a deal that guarantees frictionless trade because otherwise we will have to consider seriously the long-term future of our investments in the country.”

Ford of Europe, based in Co-

logne, Germany, has 53,000 people working for it directly and 68,000 when joint ventures such as those in Russia and Turkey are included.

In January, Ford said it will drop an unspecified number of jobs in Europe as it seeks to make its business more consistently profitable. Ford is refocusing on commercial trucks and SUVs and dumping less lucrative models while shifting production to electric cars over the longer term.

“Brexit is not the reason for that, but it clearly is another factor that if we were to get a hard Brexit we would have to think seriously about what further steps we’d have to take,” Armstrong said.

At Tuesday’s event in a disused sugar factory on the outskirts of Amsterdam, Ford showed off 16 new electrified vehicles, from the compact Fiesta to the popular commercial Transit van. Eight of the models will go on sale before the end of the year.

“We’re demonstrating really that our push for electrification through different kinds of hybrids all the way through full-battery electric vehicles is going to have an offer for anybody,” Armstrong said.

Ford recently announced an alliance with Volkswagen to jointly develop the next generation of commercial vehicles.

It may not end there.

“There are other discussions going on in other areas that we could potentially collaborate,” Armstrong said. “But thus far what we’ve announced and the progress we’ve made is all around light commercial vehicles and our small pickup trucks.”

Aid to farmers, wildfire victims stalls in Senate amid fight over Puerto Rico

By Andrew Taylor The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senate Democrats blocked a Republican disaster aid bill, saying more money is needed to help hurricane-torn Puerto Rico. But President Donald Trump opposes additional funding and says the U.S. territory is getting more disaster money than some states.

The move tossed long-sought relief for victims of hurricanes, floods and Western wildfires into limbo and escalated a fight between Democrats and Trump, who said Tuesday that he is the “best thing” that ever happened to Puerto Rico.

Trump claimed additional funding would come at the expense of U.S. farmers and states, and attacked the island’s political leaders, alleging they “only take from USA.” Puerto Rico’s residents are U.S. citizens.

White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said it was “ridiculous” to question Trump’s commitment to the people of Puerto Rico, but called the island “that country” in an interview with MSNBC. Gidley

claimed the error was “a mistake.”

Monday’s 44-49 vote fell short of a majority, much less the 60 votes required to overcome a Democratic filibuster, sending GOP leaders back to the drawing board and seeming unlikely to kill disaster aid efforts outright, since there is much political support to send aid to Southern farmers, wildfire-ravaged California towns and Midwestern flood victims.

“Our work on this subject is far from finished,” Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said on Tuesday.

Trump allies such as Sens. David Perdue, R-Ga., and Rick Scott, R-Fla., are among the strongest backers of the legislation.

“We will get this done eventually,” Perdue said, promising relief to struggling farmers in his state.

The path forward is unclear, but a leading option is for the Senate to pass a more narrowly drawn bill simply to get the issue into a House-Senate conference committee. House Democrats insist the talks must produce a final measure with help for Puerto Rico.

Democrats say Trump has been

slow to release already appropriated funding for Puerto Rico and has shown little urgency in helping the island. Trump criticized the island’s government at a meeting with Senate Republicans last week and suggested Puerto Rico has gotten too much disaster help compared with states such as Texas, using inflated numbers to make his case.

“Just as we leave no soldier behind on the battlefield, we help our fellow Americans when there’s a disaster, wherever the disaster strikes. We do not abandon them. Period,” said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. Trump complained in a pair of tweets Tuesday about the island’s leadership and said $91 billion destined for Puerto Rico is “more money than has ever been gotten for a hurricane before, & all their local politicians do is complain & ask for more money.”

He said the politicians there are “grossly incompetent, spend the money foolishly or corruptly, & only take from USA.” “The best thing that ever happened to Puerto Rico is President Donald J. Trump,” the president

continued. “So many wonderful people, but with such bad Island leadership and with so much money wasted. Cannot continue to hurt our Farmers and States with these massive payments, and so little appreciation!”

Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello responded with his own tweets, stating in part, “Mr. President, this ‘place’ you refer to, #PuertoRico, is home to over three million proud Americans that are still recovering from the storm and in need of federal assistance. We are not your adversaries, we are your citizens.”

Rossello also asked that all senators approve the disaster aid bill and disputed Trump’s numbers, claiming that the Federal Emergency Management Agency has approved only $300 million in permanent work projects, not $91 billion.

The $13.5 billion Senate measure mostly mirrors a $14.2 billion measure the House passed in January, combining aid to Southern farmers, California communities devastated by last summer’s wildfire, and hurricane-hit states such as Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. Hurricane-damaged military bases in Florida and North Carolina would receive rebuilding funds.

Democrats want to add almost $700 million more to unlock further disaster aid for Puerto Rico and several states, including help to rebuild badly damaged water systems. Democrats are also trying to force the administration to release billions of dollars in re-

building funds that have already been approved.

McConnell said the Senate measure is the fastest way to get aid to the South and the Midwest, along with nutrition aid to Puerto Rico, where food stamp benefits have already been cut.

“It is the only bill on the table with any provision for the Midwest flooding,” McConnell said.

“And it’s the only bill on the table that could earn a presidential signature in time to deliver urgent relief on the nutrition assistance in Puerto Rico.”

Political momentum for the measure — strongly backed by Trump’s allies in Georgia, Florida and North Carolina, among other states — has only been heightened by massive flooding in Midwestern states such as Nebraska and Iowa, whose nominating caucuses are the first test for Democrats hoping to challenge Trump next year. The GOP measure would make Midwestern states eligible for more aid, and by blocking the bill, Democratic presidential contenders in the Senate are likely to face criticism.

Trump has yet to veto a spending bill despite some tough talk, and he has signed off on $600 million to ease food stamp cuts in Puerto Rico.

Trump’s $91 billion estimate, said a White House spokesman, includes about $50 billion in expected future disaster disbursements, along with $41 million already approved. Actual aid to Puerto Rico has flowed slowly from federal coffers.

Bills would establish ‘right to food,’ end hunger by 2030 The Associated Press AUGUSTA, Maine — Maine would establish a right to food and move to end hunger by 2030 under a Democratic farmer’s legislation.

The bills are set for a public hearing Tuesday in front of the Legislature’s Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry committee.

Rep. Craig Hickman proposes a constitutional amendment that would in part declare all individuals in Maine have an unalienable right to consume, barter and produce food.

The proposed amendment states that “All individuals have a natural, inherent and unalienable

right to food, including the right to acquire, produce, process, prepare, preserve and consume the food of their own choosing by hunting, gathering, foraging, farming, fishing, gardening and saving and exchanging seeds or by barter, trade or purchase from sources of their own choosing, for their nourishment, sustenance, bodily health and well-being, as long as an individual does not commit trespassing, theft, poaching or other abuses of private property rights, public lands or natural resources in the acquisition of food.” Individuals might also be entitled to government food support beyond natural rights to procure and produce food as the amendment also

includes that “all individuals have a fundamental right to be free from hunger, malnutrition, starvation and the endangerment of life from the scarcity of or lack of access to nourishing food.”

Hickman has also proposed to require state agencies to work together on a plan to eliminate hunger in Maine by 2030.

Lawmakers are also set to consider Democratic Senate President Troy Jackson’s $2.5 million bill to allow Maine to contract with a nonprofit that provides statewide hunger relief services. Such money could purchase food from Maine food producers or pay the nonprofit’s operational and distribution expenses.

Ancient garden structures are getting updated

By Dean Fosdick The Associated Press PERGOLAS HAVE BEEN PART of home gardens for a long time, but they’re getting some modern upgrades because of trends toward backyard sanctuaries and entertaining.

Historically, pergolas were simple, overhead structures used to protect garden walkways. They were characterized by long linear shapes, said Gail Hansen, an associate professor and Extension specialist in landscape design with the University of Florida.

Today, pergolas are customized for use covering outdoor patios and elaborate entertainment areas.

“Many homeowners like to spend more time outdoors, and the relaxed ease of outdoor entertaining is more suited to our lifestyle and less formal entertainment activities,” Hansen said.

Backyard pergolas are usually attached to houses or, if they’re freestanding, are near indoor kitchens for easy access, she said.

“Homeowners are updating their outdoor entertainment areas with fully appointed kitchens and luxurious patio furniture,” Hansen said.

“In addition to the traditional gas grill, nearly every kitchen appliance has been modified for outdoor use,” including sinks, refrigerators, wine coolers, griddles, ice makers, pizza ovens and warming drawers, she said.

“Stainless steel is the preferred

Pergolas sometimes are confused with arbors, which often are arch-shaped, with a continuous run of latticework from side to side, said Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for the National Association of Landscape Professionals.

“Traditionally, arbors shade gates, walkways or a bench, are only a few feet wide and provide the perfect support for climbing plants,” she said.

Both landscape-design structures support climbing plants, she said, but pergolas are more elaborate and help shade entire outdoor

spaces.

When designed and oriented correctly, a pergola can cast enough shade to make even a hot afternoon enjoyable, or if homeowners need additional protection from the elements, they can install a retractable shade, Henriksen said.

“The increase we are seeing in

homeowners’ requests for pergolas is another example of how people are investing in their outdoor living spaces to create ‘staycation sanctuaries,’ add sizzle to outdoor entertaining and personalize their individual home environments,” she said.

You can tailor your pergola with everything from chandeliers and ceiling fans to strings of lights, fabric, space heaters and sound systems.

“Add color and excitement to an outdoor space with thriller, filler and spiller container gardens,” Henriksen said. “With the perfect planting combination and unique container, homeowners can add rich color and texture to a stunning pergola.”

Landscape professionals can help you understand the pros and cons of different materials used for pergolas. Options include pressure-treated woods, cedar wood, vinyl and fiberglass, Henriksen said.

Pressure-treated wood generally looks best if it’s painted or stained, she said. Cedar is insect-resistant and looks great right from the sawmill. “You can leave it untreated to turn a soft silver gray, or stain and seal it to hold its color,” she said.

Vinyl requires little maintenance while fiberglass can be painted, spans longer distances without posts and, due to its light weight, doesn’t require the same deep footers that other materials dictate, Henriksen said.
