NEWS BRIEFING

Statesville settles flag dispute The star of CNBC’s “The Profit” has settled a yearlong dispute with the city of Statesville over a huge U.S. flag at the reality TV star’s recreational vehicle store. Statesville Mayor Costi Kutteh announced the settlement with Marcus Lemonis on Monday, allowing the flag to continue flying outside Lemonis’ Gander RV company. The settlement requires Gander RV to pay about $16,000 for fines and legal costs, and the council to change the ordinance to allow the flag. The council voted against that in June, but unanimously agreed to it this time, just ahead of Tuesday’s elections.

Man arrested in NC over 1985 death of TV director Prosecutors have charged a man in the cold-case killing of a TV director who worked on “The Incredible Hulk,” ‘’The Six Million Dollar Man” and other shows more than three decades ago. The district attorney’s office in Los Angeles said Tuesday that 53-year old Edwin Jerry Hiatt is facing one count of murder with a special allegation that he used a deadly weapon to kill director Barry Crane. Officials say Hiatt was linked to the 1985 killing with DNA evidence. Hiatt was arrested in North Carolina and is awaiting extradition to California.

Trump honors Reagan AG Edwin Meese President Donald Trump on Tuesday awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Edwin Meese, best known for serving as President Ronald Regan’s attorney general.

Meese had a longstanding connection to Reagan that included serving as his chief of staff when Reagan was California’s governor. When Reagan became president, Meese served as his chief policy adviser before going on to serve as the nation’s 75th attorney general. The White House says Meese played a pivotal role in securing historic tax cuts and crafting a foreign policy that eventually led to the end of the Cold War.

STATE ELEVATE THE CONVERSATION

Durham pastor leads Southern Baptist summit on abuse Pastor J.D. Greear of Summit Church is current president of the SBC

By David Larson North State Journal RALEIGH — After a series of high-profile sex abuse revelations in 2018 and 2019, church leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention met in Dallas, Texas, last week to confront the issue. The event, billed as the “Caring Well Conference,” took place over the Oct. 4-6 weekend and was organized by the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, the public policy arm of the SBC. Despite already approving legislation on abuse during their 2019 annual convention, the amendments cannot go into effect until they are affirmed again at 2020’s convention in Orlando, Florida.

Rather than wait another year, SBC leaders decided to hold this conference in Dallas to begin the process of addressing abuse in the church.

J.D. Greear, the pastor of Summit Church in Durham and current SBC president, rose to his role in 2018 as the scandal was beginning to gain headlines. It has defined his time in leadership as he’s looked for ways to heal the country’s second-largest denomination.

The major initiative that Greear and the SBC presented at the weekend conference is called the “Caring Well Challenge,” which the SBC hopes will give member

churches some tools as they wait to vote on more concrete measures in 2020. The SBC also created a website and a video of Greear describing the program.

In the video, Greear says, “It’s a free initiative designed to walk with church leaders, step by step, towards becoming a church that is safe for survivors and safe from abuse. The ‘Caring Well Challenge’ provides your church a pathway to start engaging the problem of abuse, whatever your background.

I want to encourage your church to commit to taking the eight-step challenge over the next year.”

Because the denomination is much less centralized, compared to the more hierarchical Catholic or Episcopal churches, the challenge is being presented as a voluntary program that pastors can opt into.

In his opening remarks at the Dallas conference, Greear began with an apology to sex abuse victims, saying, “I cannot speak for every Southern Baptist in America, but I can speak for myself and say that I’m sorry — truly sorry. As a pastor and as a dad, I’m sorry.”

Greear’s speech focused on seven myths of sex abuse that he says have been hindering progress on the issue within the SBC. As with the Catholic Church, many loyal members initially saw the scandals as being overblown by an anti-Christian popular culture and media. For this reason, his first “myth” was that “Sexual abuse in the church is not really a problem but simply the latest leftist attack See BAPTIST, page A2

By A.P. Dillon North State Journal RALEIGH — Lt. Gov. Dan Forest says he wants to help active military and veterans lay down roots in North Carolina. The Republican candidate for Governor recently unveiled a plan to make the state the most military-friendly in the country.

There are currently around 100,000 active duty military members and 670,000 veterans who reside in the Tarheel state.

“A lot of people run around and claim every day – the governor does it all the time – that North Carolina is the most military-friendly state in the country, and that sounds good, but it’s really not true,” Forest told NSJ. Forest said his team, including Col. (Ret.) Ron Rabin, who is chairman of Veterans for Dan Forest, came up with a list after meeting with military families and veterans from around the state.

“We know it will take a lot of work to get there,” said Rabon, who served three terms as a state Senator. “We want to set the right goals and objectives to do that in a very pragmatic way.”

Lawsuits around US seek to block Trump’s public charge rule The Associated Press NEW YORK — The scene is playing out in courtrooms from coast to coast — federal judges being asked to block a new Trump administration policy scheduled to take effect next week that would deny permanent legal residency to immigrants who would be dependent on public benefits.

Almost a dozen lawsuits have been filed from New York to California with plaintiffs including states, counties, cities, service providers and immigrants to prevent the “public charge” rule from taking effect on Oct. 15. A judge in California held a hearing last week, while a judge in New York held one on Monday, and others are scheduled for this week, with the lawsuits asking for preliminary injunctions to keep the rule from being enforced while challenges to its legality are ongoing. Judges have indicated a willingness to issue rulings before the scheduled start date.

“I’ve litigated against federal and state agencies over the years and I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Liz Schott of the Center on See TRUMP, page A2

Dozens of new food options at the State Fair

By A.P. Dillon North State Journal RALEIGH — The wait is over to see what the hot new foods at this year’s North Carolina State Fair will be, after a list of 37 drool-inspiring gastronomic creations has been released.

Deep-fried everything is once again the name of the food game, including desserts and various ice cream creations.

Concoctions, like the Candied Apple Hushpuppies with Cheerwine Sugar Glaze, bring sweet

to a whole new level, as does the Apple Spice or Cherry Wobbler, which are homemade waffles rolled in cinnamon sugar topped with choice of fruit filling and a dollop of heavy whipped cream.

An unusual item this year is the Deep-Fried Emu Burrito which features North Carolina ground emu, along with rice, pepper and onions, black beans and queso stuffed in a tortilla, which is then deep fried.

Other new dishes include shawarma-spiced Loaded Lamb Nachos, a savory red velvet fun-

nel cake topped with cheese and enchilada sauces, and the “JoCo HoHo,” which consists of North Carolina jalapeno peppers stuffed with cheese and brisket that are deep-fried and served on a stick.

Speaking of sticks, fairgoers can enjoy a tower of deep-fried olives or a stack of mini pancakes and toasted marshmallows covered in chocolate and a graham cracker topping that’s been dubbed a “Campfire on a Stick.”

A variety of loaded baked po-

tatoes, fritters, Pimento Cheese Crab Balls and other items are offered, including savory items like the Chickenator, a golden fried chicken breast served on a cinnamon bun, and topped with crispy bacon, pepper jack cheese and a zesty honey sauce.

Southern comfort foods are brought together in the “Crackn-Cheese stuffed leg.” The leg is a turkey leg stuffed with smoked turkey BBQ and homemade macaroni & cheese which is topped with Hickory Tree BBQ’s signature sauce and turkey cracklins.

BAPTIST from page A1 on the church.”

Greear asked attendees to put aside perceived attacks on conservatives and instead focus on their own church, where abuse has been uncovered.

To show how deep this scandal reaches into the church, the conference invited well-known ministers, who themselves have been affected, to speak. Kay Warren, an author and co-founder of Saddleback Church and wife of Rick Warren, who wrote the bestselling “Purpose Driven Life,” spoke about being abused at church as a child, as did popular Bible-study leader Beth Moore.

North Carolina voices did not stop with Greear. Boz Tchividjian, whose grandfather Billy Graham based his world-famous evangelism ministry out of Montreat in the western part of the state, spoke of his own experience both as a prosecutor and as the leader of GRACE, an organization that fights sexual abuse in Christian churches and ministries.

“I think the SBC must go through a season of substantive lament, learning and changes if it ever wants to become a genuine leader in preventing and addressing all forms of abuse,” said Tchividjian. “I want to remain hopeful for change, but time will be the true test.”

Some activists and abuse survivors remain skeptical of the SBC’s commitment to a tough anti-abuse approach and are urging swifter action to create a database listing credibly accused abusers that could be shared among the SBC’s 47,000 member churches.

By contrast, Megan Lively of Wilson, North Carolina, says she’s been solidly supported by SBC leaders since identifying herself as a key figure in a 2003 sexual-assault incident that contributed to last year’s ouster of the Rev. Paige Patterson as president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest.

Patterson was faulted for discouraging Lively from filing a report with police after she told school administrators she’d been

J.D. Greear, pastor of Summit Church in Durham raped by a fellow student while attending Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Patterson was president of the school at the time.

Lively, one of the scheduled speakers at the conference, says she doesn’t consider herself just a “safe option” for the organizers.

“I know that SBC leaders have listened to women inside and outside the church,” she said. “For over a year, I’ve been telling them things, making suggestions. They have lis-

The Forest campaign’s plan has three main focal points: supporting military families, transitioning to civilian life and building a career in North Carolina.

“This gives them another legup to deal with the challenges they face as they come back into civilian life,” said Forest.

Easing financial burden on military families — from education to property taxes — is the first step according to Forest. He says his plan will help children of military members to keep up in school, despite frequent moves, through an education savings account. The program would grant to $4,200 for expenses such as tutoring, new supplies or tuition at private schools in the state.

Another way Forest’s plan would ease financial burdens is by eliminating the current law requiring military members to pay North Carolina income tax while stationed out of state.

To ease transition back to civilian life, the plan would seek to waive the first year of property taxes for those returning to civilian life, which is on average would be around $1,200.

Additionally, Forest seeks to eliminate the state income tax on veteran retirement benefits and create three new Veterans Treatment Courts, which are courts set up to help veterans receive support services and treatment rather than punishment for criminal activity as a result of PTSD, alcohol or drug addiction Around 3,000 counties in the U.S. have Veteran Treatment Courts, but only four counties in North Carolina have such courts.

Forest’s plan proposes adding courts in Jacksonville, Raleigh, and Charlotte.

Budget and Policy Priorities, which has been tracking the progress of the various lawsuits. “It’s a tremendously broad set of players reflecting the huge significance and impact of the rule.”

The new rule is part of an overhaul of the nation’s immigration system that the administration has been trying to put into place. While much of the attention has focused on President Donald Trump’s efforts to crack down on illegal immigration, the new change affect people who entered the United States legally and are seeking permanent status. It is part of an effort to move the U.S. to a system that focuses on immigrants’ skills instead of family contacts.

Currently, legal immigrants seeking to become permanent residents (a step before being eligible to become naturalized citizens) must prove they won’t be burdens to the country, or public charges, which in practice has been understood to mean becoming primarily dependent on cash assistance, income maintenance or government support for long-term institutionalization.

The Trump administration’s rule takes that further — considering past and current use of a wide range of assistance like Medicaid, food stamps, and housing vouchers that aren’t currently considered, taking into account factors like the immigrant’s age, employment status and English-language ability to determine whether they could potentially become public burdens at any point in the future and denying them legal residency if officials decide the answer is yes.

Those changes have outraged immigrants and their advocates, who say there’s already been a chilling effect from immigrants who are now

JAMES PIEDAD VIA THE DAN FOREST FOR GOVERNOR CAMPAIGN

Lt. Gov. Dan Forest addresses the crowd at his official gubernatorial kick off rally.

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, there are almost 200,000 veterans incarcerated in American prisons and jails.

Forest says that his policy proposals will help veterans and their families build careers here in North Carolina through two programs, Troops2Troopers and a Helping Heroes Bonus.

Troops2Troopers will pay for Basic Law Enforcement Training for military members who have returned to civilian life and offers recruits who complete training and pledge five years of service a signing bonus of $10,000.

“We think that will go a long way, on both sides, by helping our active duty transition to civilian life and helping with the needs of our community by filling law enforcement positions that are much needed right now,” Forest said.

The Helping Heroes Bonus

program offers a $2,500 incentive to businesses to hire and train apprentices when military members leave active service.

Rabin said former military members will have a “prime place” where the state can find skilled people to enhance the state’s businesses and workforce.

As a 24-year army veteran, Rabin said he wants people to know “that Dan Forest is truly interested and determined to take care of the military that are here in this state.”

Forest who sits on the state’s Military Affairs Commission, said that under former Gov. Pat McCrory, the commission helped to direct policy, but under Gov. Roy Cooper, that hasn’t been the case.

“There will be a lot more that comes down the road,” said Forest of his military and veteran plans.

“We’ll be broadening it out and developing it more over time.”

tened to me.”

Added Lively, “For me, it’s more important to stay involved in the process from within than to demand change from the outside.”

Sex abuse already was a high-profile issue at the SBC’s 2018 national meeting, after which Greear formed an advisory group to draft recommendations on how to confront the problem.

Pressure on the SBC intensified in recent months, however, due in part to articles by the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News asserting that hundreds of Southern Baptist clergy and staff have been accused of sexual misconduct over the past 20 years, including dozens who returned to church duties, while leaving more than 700 victims with little in the way of justice or apologies.

In 2018, the Southern Baptist Convention had more than 47,000 churches and a reported membership of 14.8 million, down about 192,000 from the previous year.

The Associated Press contributed to this article.

scared to ask for help they’re eligible to get, for themselves or their relatives including citizen children, out of fear of what it could mean.

They’ve also said the rule changes are discriminatory and would have the effect of barring immigrants with lower incomes in favor of those with wealth. Acting director of Citizenship and Immigration Services, Ken Cuccinelli, said in August that the rule change fits with the Republican president’s message.

“We want to see people coming to this country who are self-sufficient,” Cuccinelli said. “That’s a core principle of the American dream.

It’s deeply embedded in our history, and particularly our history related to legal immigration.”

The scheduled enactment next week of the rule comes as the Trump administration on Friday announced another rule, a proclamation effective Nov. 3 that bars immigrants from coming to the U.S. unless they will be covered by health insurance within 30 days of entering or have the financial wherewithal to pay for any medical costs.

In a packed Manhattan courtroom on Monday, U.S. District Judge George Daniels extensively questioned the government’s lawyer, Ethan Davis of the Department of Justice, over the rationale behind the administration’s changing of the rule and the adding of factors that would be considered in determining whether someone could become a public charge.

“You’ve got to give me some rational basis,” he said.

Roughly 544,000 people apply for green cards annually. According to the government, 382,000 are in categories that would make them subject to the new review.

History museum’s exhibit highlights baby-boomer toys ‘Toy Boom’ includes classic toys and games

By A.P. Dillon North State Journal RALEIGH — Whether you’re a baby or a baby boomer, smiles and fun await you at the new “Toy Boom” exhibit at the North Carolina Museum of History.

The “Toy Boom” exhibit, which will run through January of 2021, features vintage toys that rose to prominence in the 50s and 60s.

The toys, which are organized into various themes, are paired with fun facts, hands-on activities and, yes, games.

“The baby-boomer years were a time of more in America… including more toys,” says Katie Edwards, the curator of popular culture at the North Carolina Museum of History. “We created this exhibit to help North Carolinians reflect on their paths from childhood to adulthood, including the toys that paved the way.”

Everything old is new again in this exhibit, which blends nostalgia with interactive experiences for all ages. Themes throughout the exhibit include underlying or overt gender roles and race, with the examples of the first African American dolls produced in the 1960s.

Edwards said she was intrigued by how big an influence the Space Race was on toys and began digging to see what else had influence toys at that time.

“Television played a really big role, as you will see throughout the exhibit, as were marketing and commercials,” said Edwards. “We thought this would be a really fun way to talk about all of this.”

Toy variations and the number of toy companies in the 50s and 60s exploded as plastics allowed for greater mass production. Television and radio also expanded during this time period, allowing for toys to be directly marketed to

All of the toys are on loan from various collectors and are organized into topic areas like TV westerns, space age, zany toys, creative toys, the atomic age and, near the end of the exhibit, the rise of video games.

Edwards credited the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester, New York, for help with providing and finding artifacts to display.

Visitors can enjoy playing on an oversized Twister board, a giant Lite-Brite wall or even go head

to head playing “Pong” on one of the exhibit’s walls. There is also an Etch A Sketch station, working Hot Wheels racing tracks and a “Name that Tune” game.

Some visitors may be reminded of the excitement of making their lists for Santa as they flip through the digital version of a Christmas catalog.

Just a sample of the toys that are on display include the first Easy Bake Oven, Rock ’Em, Sock ’Em Robots, Color-Forms, paper dolls, Slinky, Erector sets, quite a num-

ber of dolls and barbies and the original Mr. Potato Head.

Not to be missed is the “Atomic Energy Lab Educational Playset,” which originally came with a Geiger counter and up to four “radioactive ores” to test.

The exhibit also pulls in local North Carolina connections, such as the Fli-Back toy company that opened in 1931 and was based in High Point. The company sold balls, tops and yo-yo’s over the years until the owner died in 1963.

Fli-back closed for good in 1983 af-

ter being sold to an Ohio company in the 1970s.

Another North Carolina tie-in marries the history of the Morehead Planetarium and astronaut training with popular toys from the 60s focused on space exploration.

The NC Museum of Art, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Museum, is a part of the NC Dept. of Cultural Resources. Admission to the museum is free. For more information about the museum, call 919-8147000 or visit their website at ncmuseumofhistory.org.

Bootcamp trains veterans to be candidates

By A.P. Dillon North State Journal PINEHURST — A one-day training event for up to 25 military veterans interested in running for public office will be held next month in the Pinehurst area.

Special Operations Speaks, a political action committee founded in 2012, is the host of the one-day event called the Vets in the Fight Campaign Bootcamp. The event will take place on Veterans Day, Monday, Nov. 11, 2019, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Calvary Memorial Church Activity Center.

The focus of the bootcamp is to aid honorably-discharged veterans interested in running for elected office by giving them access to political campaign advisers and tools to conduct a successful election campaign at any level.

“This conference is for veterans running for office for the first time who want to bring duty, honor and confidence back to the town square,” said Ken Benway, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces lieutenant colonel and co-founder of Special Operations Speaks.

Both Special Operations Speaks and the Vets in the Fight events are funded through donations.

“There are sponsorships available if someone wants to sponsor the tuition for a veteran to attend — they can make a $200 donation to do that,” Benway said. “There is also a Gold level sponsorship for $500 and a Platinum sponsorship of $1,000.”

Benway says they’ve seen inter-

est in the event from veterans as far away as California and Washington state. The cost of the training is $75 per seat, and the price includes lunch, snacks and drinks during the day.

Joining Benway leading Special Operations Speaks are Colonel Richard F. (“Dick”) Brauer Jr. USAF (retired Army Special Forces) and Sgt. First Class David Miller (retired Army Special Forces). The trio has around 87 years of combined military service.

The idea for Vets in the Fight (VIF) sprang from a conference Benway’s organization held in South Carolina during the 2016 primaries. Near the end of that conference, then-Presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke to their group.

“Honorably-discharged veterans have got to vote. They’ve got to run for public office and they’ve got to hold government accountable,” said Benway of the VIF mission.

In the past, Special Operations Speaks has supported vets like Rep. Dan Crenshaw (TX-2), Rep. Michael Waltz (FL-6), Rep. Clint Higgins (LA-3) and Bryan Mast (FL18), who lost both of his legs in an IED while working with the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) as a bomb disposal expert.

Veterans interested in attending, or those interested in sponsoring a vet, can contact kjbenway@ mac.com, or text (910) 322-8095 for more information. Beginning Oct. 1, registrations will be accepted at SpecialOperationsSpeaks.com.

Major Cities

WEST

Waynesville The largest town in North Carolina west of Asheville is home to many artists and has a rich tradition of diversity, arts and crafts, folklore, music, and dance, which you can experience nearly year-round during events like Art Walk and Street Dances downtown. Or at Folkmoot USA, the world-famous folk festival started in 1984 by a local doctor. Each year, the festival brings vibrant international cultures together to celebrate their traditions — all told, more than 200 groups from more than 100 different countries have gathered in this Haywood County mountain community.

Boone The best way to discover this eclectic and charming Watauga County town is to adopt the spirit of its namesake, the famous pioneer Daniel Boone: just explore! Arrive via the stunning Blue Ridge Parkway, perhaps the most famous road in America. Hit the slopes in the winter or take a hike in the summer, when average temperatures rarely top 76 degrees. And don’t miss downtown, a feast for the senses with restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, galleries, dozens of independently owned shops, and frequent live music and art crawls.

Maiden This close-knit community in the foothills offers all the advantages of small-town living. Ask any local and you’ll get the same response: People love living here. Everyone agrees it’s the perfect place to raise a family, with yearround recreational opportunities, festivals, parades, and other town-wide events, all in a community with safe streets and welcoming establishments. Even if your family’s all grown up, the living is sweet and easy in Maiden. Fun fact: Maiden straddles the county line and is in both Catawba and Lincoln counties.

Gastonia

Landis

Clayton

Greenville

Like many communities in our Piedmont region, the Gaston County seat had a modest manufacturing start. The town began as a small railroad depot until the textile industry motivated rapid growth.

Indeed, today it’s one of the 15 largest cities in the state. No matter what you do in Gastonia, you’ll find a celebration of where past meets present and inspires future. Take Loray Mill Village: Established in 1902, the village was once a tight-knit, familycentered community with a swimming pool, bank, post office, and grocery store. Today, the mill has been transformed into a mixed-use complex with loft apartments, shops, and fantastic restaurants — living history at its finest.

There are a few local legends about this small town’s name. Our favorite: the idea that “the land is the most important thing” became shortened to “Land-is” for a constant reminder. Located in Rowan County on the I-85 corridor between Greensboro and Charlotte, the town radiates a broad vision for the future alongside a rich appreciation for the past. Landis boasts charming historical preservation efforts and nearby fly fishing, hiking, and camping. Just four miles away is the new North Carolina Research Campus, supported by UNCChapel Hill, UNC-Charlotte, NCSU, Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, and Duke University. Upon completion, the innovative project is estimated to bring 30,000 new jobs to the area.

Originally named Stallings Station, this Johnston County town was first built on a road cut by Governor Tryon’s troops around 1770 as they marched north from New Bern to Hillsborough against the Regulators. Today, Clayton is a close satellite community to Raleigh with its own boundless energy.

The older generation happily mixes with younger folks to create a charming, welcoming mix: music, theatre, a sculpture trail, student art along Sam’s Branch Greenway, numerous parks and public squares, and the celebrated Clayton Center entertainment venue.

A city where tobacco once reigned, the Pitt County seat has shifted to become a leading technology, medicine, and educational center serving all of eastern North Carolina. Full of galleries, museums, and festivals — and home of East Carolina University — Greenville appeals to art and culture lovers and students with a love of learning and growing. This city’s forward-thinking is rooted in Southern graciousness; here, big front porches and large businesses live in harmony. There are more than 20 peaceful parks with oaks and magnolias, fishing holes and swimming creeks. There are also regional headquarters for bioscience and robotics companies.

Greenville is a place for growth.

Huntersville

EAST

Located just north of Charlotte along the I-77 corridor, Huntersville feels a world away. There’s Lake Norman, the largest lake in the state, with its opportunities for rest and recreation aplenty. There’s the Growers Market on Saturdays for local produce and farm-totable delicacies. There’s the Carolina Raptor Center, where you’ll learn about the birds of prey. And there are cultural and historical landmarks around town everywhere you turn. Add in great food and craft beer, and this Mecklenburg County city has it all covered.

Pineville You can’t miss them: Large and abundant pines shade this beautiful community and inspired its name.

Incorporated in 1873, it began as a mule-trading center located at the intersection of two Native American trading routes. Today, the city in the very southern tip of Mecklenburg County is booming with energy, no matter how you like your adventures. With four city parks, there are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy; and with proximity to the amusement park Carowinds, you’re also close to crazy roller coaster fun. The annual Rockin’ and Reelin’ music and movies series completes Pineville’s well-rounded entertainment mix.

Laurinburg This city in our Sandhills region has both Southern and Scottish flair. In Laurinburg, you’ll find a vibrant downtown full of shopping and dining options, as well as ornate Victorian homes and historic churches reflecting the rich Scottish heritage of the Scotland County region. You’ll also find a wealth of natural beauty, with the nearby Cape Fear River and the scenic campus of St. Andrews Presbyterian College, its 800 acres complete with a 70-acre lake as centerpiece. Plus abundant tall, stately oak trees, it’s no surprise this is a three-time All America City.

Pikeville Tracing its origins back to 1763 when Samuel Pike settled on land granted by King George II of Great Britain, Pikeville was built around the tavern, shop, trading post, and hotel of Samuel’s son, Nathan Pike.

It was a gathering place then, and still is today. This quaint little railroad village is full of smiling, friendly, diverse citizens who welcome visitors with open arms.

And during the busy months, there are more than 9,000 of them, most passing through on their way to the Outer Banks and Carolina beaches. One visit to, or pass through, this hidden gem of Wayne County might make you want to stay.

Tarboro Come for the history, stay for the friendly folks. The ninth-oldest incorporated town in North Carolina, Tarboro was originally chartered by British colonists in 1760. Today, the 15-acre Town Common anchors the historic district, the second oldest legislated town common in the country and the only remaining original common on the east coast outside of Boston.

Stroll under the shady canopy of towering oaks and feel history come alive in Edgecombe County. For a taste of modern-day, drop by Tarboro Brewing Company for an ice-cold craft beer or enjoy a delicious meal at one of more than 40 local eateries.

Robersonville This small town is a pleasant surprise. The earliest known residents of Robersonville were the Tuscarora and Morotock Native American tribes. According to deeds and family bibles, other early settlers included the family of English settler Henry Robason. Over time, the family name became Roberson, and the family tree spread throughout the area. Today, the Martin County town is home to the St. James Place Museum and East Carolina Motor Speedway. It serves up some of the best food around, from traditional Italian fare to homemade comfort food and — best of all — mouthwatering barbecue (Eastern-style, of course).

Hertford Experience the Inner Banks in Hertford. The Perquimans County town can be reached by traveling over the only “S” shaped swing bridge in the country. Its tree-lined streets, waterfront parks, 1825 Federal-style courthouse, and the childhood home of Baseball Hall of Fame member Jim “Catfish” Hunter are its calling cards, but this small town has a thriving downtown, too.

Downtown, the streets are alive with shopping, dining, arts, crafts, and music. Southern hospitality and smalltown living make a delightful combination.

proposals could soon be headed to Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s desk as Republican legislators keep pitching portions of their vetoed state budget bill.

The House scheduled final votes on Tuesday for measures that cleared the Senate last week. One funds transportation spending and the other expands rural broadband grants.

The provisions are parts of the vetoed budget that Republicans believe stand a strong chance of bipartisan passage on their own and acceptance by Cooper.

Cooper signed all but one of the previous “mini-budget” measures, such as those addressing state employee raises, disaster relief and prison safety. The Senate budget committee also planned to meet Tuesday to discuss a House bill that would fund a new juvenile justice initiative.

On Monday, Cooper issued a press release alleging that legislative leaders

raise and argued that they were being “undervalued and disrespected by this Republican legislature.”

Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Eden) responded Tuesday to the governor’s statement, blaming Cooper’s demand for Medicaid expansion for able-bodied adults for the lack of a budget agreement and highlighting the fact that Cooper vetoed teacher raises this year and every year he’s been in office.

“Governor Cooper’s rhetoric is just not helpful. He knows full well he vetoed every teacher pay raise this legislature has passed. If it were up to him, teachers wouldn’t have gotten a pay raise last year,” said Berger. “Governor Cooper should stop with the grandstanding and come on over here so we can cut a deal.

If he dropped his Medicaid expansion ultimatum, we could work something out this week.”

‘There should be more billionaires in America!’

Mr. Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have the childish notion that rich people are taking the very food out of the mouths of poor people to stay rich as if we are living in some Dickens novel.

DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTIAL candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders tweeted this out last week before he entered the hospital with a heart ailment: “There should be no billionaires!”

He is wrong. There are close to 585 billionaires in America today.

America should strive to have more billionaires in America. Many more.

China is next with 476 billionaires, despite their so-called “communist” system. India has 131 and Germany has 114; there are about 1,000 billionaires sprinkled in the other 191 countries.

What does it mean when a person is able to amass a fortune over $1 billion? It means that they probably started a ground-breaking company such as Jeff Bezos did with Amazon, usually out of nothing other than a pipe dream in their head, and then executed a business plan worldwide to provide a product or service millions and billions of people across the globe want to buy.

It doesn’t mean they “stole billions” from the poor or the oppressed.

Stealing would be too much hard work; selling things people want to buy voluntarily is so much easier, and safer, than stealing.

Having billionaires succeed in America means their operational headquarters will be in America where they hire thousands of American citizens to sell and distribute their product. These people get paid by billionaires in salaries and health and retirement benefits which they use to live good lives, raise families and pay taxes on their income here in America, not elsewhere.

Mr. Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have the childish notion that rich people are taking the very food out of the mouths of poor people to stay rich as if we are living in some Dickens novel. Worse, they think that Robin Hood and Santa Claus are role models for federal budgeting and tax policy.

A billionaire cannot possibly consume $1 billion worth of food, clothing, cars or any other material good any human could possibly want in a year, a decade or a lifetime. One billion dollars would buy 333 million $3 burgers, to give one absurd example.

What do billionaires do with their money above meeting their basic

human needs?

After paying their employees, they “pay” the rest of us to provide things for them and the rest of the country and world.

They buy expensive mansions at resort areas from Florida to California. Each time they buy a new 50,000-square-foot mansion, they hire contractors who then hire hundreds of construction workers who put in gold-plated porcelain sinks and air-conditioned dog houses for their favorite beloved poodle.

They buy expensive cars and jets and pay expert mechanics to keep those finely tuned machines running. Not to mention the hundreds of people who are employed by the manufacturers that make the cars and jets in the first place.

Wealthy people help make other people wealthy through their investments in new companies. They invest in companies they think will be profitable one day, although there is never a guarantee of success. Win or lose in their investments, the billionaires’ money goes to pay thousands of people in the new companies to do their jobs which provide salaries, pensions and health care coverage to an entirely new set of people outside of their main line of business.

The “worst” thing they can do is put it in a savings or checking account at the local bank. Which winds up going to help a regular person get a mortgage to buy their house or a loan to start their business.

When they die, they set up charitable foundations that build hospitals, universities, medical centers or make grants to help people in need the world over.

Rich people take money from customers all over the world and then basically “give” it to the rest of us through the free market system.

Mr. Sanders and Ms. Warren want Americans to believe they are modern-day Robin Hoods who will steal from the rich to give to the poor.

Or Santa Claus who somehow brings free toys to everyone each Christmas.

Trial judge, teen brother of Texas murder victim teach America lessons in forgiveness

“If you truly are sorry, I know I can speak for myself, I forgive you. And I know if you go to God and ask him, he will forgive you.”

THE MOST POWERFUL moment Americans have witnessed this year did not come from a politician.

It did not come from a Hollywood celebrity or a popular pro sports figure.

It didn’t come from a reality TV show contestant.

It came from a murder trial judge and an 18-year-old by the name of Brandt Jean.

Brandt Jean is the brother of Botham Jean, a 26-year-old Texas man who was sitting in his apartment when off-duty Dallas police officer Amber Guyger, 31, entered his apartment Sept. 6, 2018, thinking it was hers. She shot and killed him, claiming she believed he had broken into her home.

Though no racial motive was established, the case had racial overtones. Guyger is white. Jean was black. Racially offensive texts and social media posts were revealed during the trial.

Protests were held alleging racism. Some members of Jean’s family have stated they wondered if Guyger would have shot Botham Jean had he been white.

Guyger’s murder trial was held last month. She was convicted of murder and sentenced to 10 years in prison last week.

The jury in the case was reportedly made up mostly of women and people of color, and they ended up agreeing that the 28-year sentence being asked for by the prosecution was too harsh.

Brandt Jean’s victim impact statement last week was as powerful as it was unusual. It is not often you hear loved ones of a murder victim speak of forgiveness and mercy for the killer, let alone ask the judge for permission to hug them.

But that’s what Brandt Jean did.

Here’s a partial transcript of his remarks: “If you truly are sorry, I know I can speak for myself, I forgive you.

And I know if you go to God and ask him, he will forgive you.

“I love you just like anyone else.

“I wasn’t going to ever say this in front of my family or anyone, but I don’t even want you to go to jail. I want the best for you, because I know that’s exactly what Botham would want you to do. And the best would be: give your life to Christ.

“Again, I love you as a person. And I don’t wish anything bad on you.

I don’t know if this is possible, but can I give her a hug, please? Please?”

After a few moments of consideration, Judge Tammy Kemp allowed it.

It was an extraordinarily moving moment, made even more so when Kemp, who is also African American, stepped down from the bench after the sentencing, offered comfort for Jean’s family and then also hugged Guyger.

She later gave her a Bible and urged her to read John 3:16.

“You haven’t done so much that you can’t be forgiven,” Kemp said, according to a courtroom journalist. “You did something bad in one moment in time. What you do now matters.”

In a sign of the polarizing times we live in, some social justice activists criticized Brandt Jean and Kemp, calling their actions inappropriate and unacceptable. In Kemp’s case, some critics raised questions about her impartiality, even though it was Guyger who initiated the hug with her.

A freedom from religion group has already filed a complaint against Kemp, saying she crossed the line in giving Guyger a Bible and “preaching” to her.

Complaints and criticisms aside, both Brandt Jean and Judge Kemp demonstrated that even in times of great tragedy that grace and compassion can still coexist alongside understandable anger, sadness and pain, and the need for justice to be served.

54% of voters believe the United States is one of the best countries for women to live in

FIFTY-FOUR PERCENT of voters believe the United States is one of the best countries for women to live in. A ScottRasmussen. com survey found that 10% believe it is one of the worst while 36% place it somewhere in between.

Sixty-one percent of men consider it one of the best countries for women to live in. Forty-

seven percent of women agree.

At the other extreme, 8% of men consider the U.S. to be one of the worst places for women to live. Twelve percent of women share that view.

Older voters are most likely to see our country as one of the best places for women to live.

Idiotic environmental predictions

GUEST OPINION | MIKE LONG

Education establishment: You’re still not listening This school year, upward of 13,000 students from low-income and working-class homes will have the chance to attend the private school of their family’s choice.

FALL BEGAN but a few days ago. The traditional calendar school year is officially underway for North Carolina families, many nearing one full month of instruction to kick off the school year.

As sure as people travel to Western North Carolina to see the leaves turn, just like clockwork, the education establishment aims another round of fire at school choice in our state, the focus more times than not on North Carolina’s Opportunity Scholarship Program, also known as our state voucher program.

This school year, upward of 13,000 students from low-income and working-class homes will have the chance to attend the private school of their family’s choice, thanks in part to the assistance provided by the Opportunity Scholarship.

Sadly, these scholarships are one of the top targets of the education establishment, which seeks to lock families into schools based solely on their ZIP code.

The latest commentary is masked with language about a perceived lack of accountability in private schools who accept students with Opportunity Scholarships — an argument that is growing more tiresome by the day, and a misleading narrative at best.

Parents are the number one accountability mechanism for Opportunity Scholarship dollars and the private schools they go to. They care more than anyone about achieving the best possible outcomes for their children. What better check-and-balance mechanism exists than that?

Here’s the truly ironic part: I doubt many, if any, of the naysayers have spoken directly with Opportunity Scholarship parents, as I have. If they had, they would quickly realize something: These parents deeply believe in accountability, to the point that they’re willing to make significant sacrifices to escape a one-size-fits-all system and send their child to a school that the parent believes is the right environment for that child.

Beyond this, the Opportunity Scholarship Program is firmly accountable under standards enforced by the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority and enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly.

Among other measures, these private schools are

required to administer nationally standardized tests for English grammar, reading, spelling and math; report to parents or legal guardians on students’ progress; and report graduation rates. What’s more, all private schools that accept Opportunity Scholarship students are prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color or national origin under the Civil Rights Act. Amazingly, one recent editorial even made the surprising argument that the Opportunity Scholarship Program should be reformed to become “a national model.” This, by the way, is a huge departure from Gov. Roy Cooper’s wishes to dismantle the program entirely. But the ultimate goal of this type of “reform” is to gut Opportunity Scholarships and regain control; overregulation masked as accountability.

A memo to purveyors of the educational status quo: The reason that 20% of N.C. families have left public schools is because they’re tired of being told what to do all the time. You’ve lost sight of that fact.

No public policy will ever perfectly reflect the view of all taxpayers — that’s the unfortunate reality. No system of schools or parental school choice schools can be all things to all people. That’s why we believe that parents should be the ultimate decision-makers.

We must trust parents and let them as taxpayers use the resources allotted for their children’s education to fit their needs and values.

Rather than attack a program that’s helping thousands of low-income families achieve a better future for their kids, the educational status quo should ask itself this question: Why are so many parents desperately seeking every opportunity to exit traditional public schools?

Only then will the system be able to take an honest assessment and work to prevent the exodus, if the system — and more importantly, the education establishment — is willing to listen.

Mike Long is a 35-year educator and now the president of Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina, a nonprofit organization that advocates for quality educational options through parental school choice.

THE COMPETITIVE ENTERPRISE Institute has published a new paper, “Wrong Again: 50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions.” Keep in mind that many of the grossly wrong environmentalist predictions were made by respected scientists and government officials. My question for you is: If you were around at the time, how many government restrictions and taxes would you have urged to avoid the predicted calamity?

As reported in The New York Times (Aug. 1969) Stanford University biologist Dr. Paul Erhlich warned: “The trouble with almost all environmental problems is that by the time we have enough evidence to convince people, you’re dead. We must realize that unless we’re extremely lucky, everybody will disappear in a cloud of blue steam in 20 years.”

In 2000, Dr. David Viner, a senior research scientist at University of East Anglia’s climate research unit, predicted that in a few years winter snowfall would become “a very rare and exciting event. Children just aren’t going to know what snow is.” In 2004, the U.S. Pentagon warned President George W. Bush that major European cities would be beneath rising seas. Britain will be plunged into a Siberian climate by 2020. In 2008, Al Gore predicted that the polar ice cap would be gone in a mere 10 years. A U.S. Department of Energy study led by the U.S. Navy predicted the Arctic Ocean would experience an ice-free summer by 2016.

In May 2014, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius declared during a joint appearance with Secretary of State John Kerry that “we have 500 days to avoid climate chaos.”

Peter Gunter, professor at North Texas State University, predicted in the spring 1970 issue of The Living Wilderness: “Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions. ... By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.”

Ecologist Kenneth Watt’s 1970 prediction was, “If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000.” He added, “This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”

Mark J. Perry, scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and professor of economics and finance at the University of Michigan’s Flint campus, cites 18 spectacularly wrong predictions made around the time of first Earth Day in 1970. This time it’s not about weather. Harrison Brown, a scientist at the National Academy of Sciences, published a chart in Scientific American that looked at metal reserves and estimated that humanity would run out of copper shortly after 2000. Lead, zinc, tin, gold and silver would be gone before 1990. Kenneth Watt said, “By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate ... that there won’t be any more crude oil.”

There were grossly wild predictions well before the first Earth Day, too.

In 1939, the U.S. Department of the Interior predicted that American oil supplies would last for only another 13 years. In 1949, the secretary of the interior said the end of U.S. oil supplies was in sight. Having learned nothing from its earlier erroneous energy claims, in 1974, the U.S. Geological Survey said that the U.S. had only a 10-year supply of natural gas. However, the U.S. Energy Information Administration estimated that as of Jan. 1, 2017, there were about 2,459 trillion cubic feet of dry natural gas in the United States.

That’s enough to last us for nearly a century. The United States is the largest producer of natural gas worldwide.

Today’s wild predictions about climate doom are likely to be just as true as yesteryear’s. The major difference is today’s Americans are far more gullible and more likely to spend trillions fighting global warming. And the only result is that we’ll be much poorer and less free.

Duke alum wins Nobel Prize for medicine The Associated Press Duke alum wins Nobel Prize for medicine Malcolm Ritter and Maria Cheng | The Associated Press NEW YORK — Two Americans and a British scientist won a Nobel Prize on Monday for discovering details of how the body’s cells sense and react to low oxygen levels, providing a foothold for developing new treatments for anemia, cancer and other diseases.

Drs. William G. Kaelin Jr. of Harvard Medical School and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Gregg L. Semenza of Johns Hopkins University and Peter J. Ratcliffe at the Francis Crick Institute in Britain and Oxford University won the prize for advances in physiology or medicine.

The scientists, who worked largely independently, will share the $918,000 cash award, said the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.

They “revealed the mechanism for one of life’s most essential adaptive processes,” the Nobel committee said.

Kaelin, a Duke alumnus and member of the University’s Board of Trustees, also shared the Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award with Semenza and Ratcliffe in 2016.

Cells can encounter lowered oxygen not only from situations like living at high altitudes, but also from things like a wound that interferes with local blood supply. Their response triggers reactions that include producing red blood cells, generating new blood vessels and

William G. Kaelin Jr. stands with his son, Tripp, at a news conference, Monday, Oct. 7, 2019, in Boston, after he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. fine-tuning the immune system.

The Nobel committee said scientists are focused on developing drugs that can treat diseases by either activating or suppressing the oxygen-sensing machinery. Such manipulation could help in attacking cancer cells, experts said.

Another payoff is pills to boost production of red blood cells in anemia, which can appear in people with chronic kidney disease. One such drug has been approved in China and Japan and a filing for approval in the U.S. is expected soon, Kaelin said.

Still other potential targets include heart attack and stroke, and a condition of reduced blood flow in the limbs that can lead to amputation, the researchers said.

Kaelin, 61, said he was halfasleep when the phone rang Monday morning with the news of his award.

“I don’t usually get phone calls at

5:00 in the morning, so, naturally, my heart started racing and I could see the call was from Stockholm,” he said. “And so I think at that point I almost had an out-of-body type of experience.”

Kaelin is paid by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, which also supports AP’s Health and Science department. Kaelin earned his undergraduate degree in 1979, majoring in chemistry and mathematics, and a medical degree from Duke in 1983. He received an honorary degree from Duke in 2018 and the Duke University School of Medicine Distinguished Alumni Award in 2007. He joined the Duke Board of Trustees this past July.

“This is well-deserved recognition for such an impactful body of work,” said Dr. Mary E. Klotman, dean of the Duke School of Medicine. “We are so very proud of our Duke Med alum.”

Kaelin is a member of the Amer-

ican Society of Clinical Investigation, the American College of Physicians, the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine.

He is the third Duke alumnus to receive the Nobel Prize. Previous alumni winners were Robert Richardson and Charles Townes. Two current School of Medicine faculty members, Robert Lefkowitz and Paul Modrich, have received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Ratcliffe, 65, said he learned the news after he was summoned out of a meeting this morning by his secretary, who had “a look of urgency.”

Trained as a kidney specialist, Ratcliffe said his research began when he and colleagues simply wanted to figure out how cells sense oxygen.

“I thought it was a definable problem and just thought we’d find out how it worked,” he said. It was about two years into their research program, which began in 1990, that they realized the discovery had much wider significance, Ratcliffe said.

“We saw that it wasn’t just cells in the kidney that know how to sense oxygen, but all cells in the body. ...

There are hundreds and thousands of processes the body uses to adapt to and regulate its oxygen levels.”

He said while some promising drugs have been developed, it will be years before it’s clear whether such discoveries are going to change the lives of tens of thousands.

In Baltimore, Semenza, 63, who did his pediatrics training at Duke from 1984 to 1986, said he slept

through the Nobel committee’s initial phone call. “By the time I got to the phone it was too late,” he said.

He went back to sleep but was able to answer the second call from Stockholm.

He said kidney cancer may be the first malignancy in which a drug based on the prize-winning work might make chemotherapy more effective, and that he hopes many other cancers will follow.

Last year, James Allison of the United States and Tasuku Honjo of Japan won the 2018 Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work in immunotherapy, activating the body’s natural defense system to fight tumors.

Monday’s announcement kicked off this year’s Nobel Prizes. The physics prize will be handed out Tuesday, followed by the chemistry prize on Wednesday. This year there is a double-header for the Nobel Literature Prize — one each for 2018 and 2019 — which will be awarded Thursday. The Peace Prize will be announced on Friday.

The 2018 Nobel Literature prize was suspended after a sex abuse scandal rocked the Swedish Academy, the body that awards the literature prizes, so two prizes are being awarded this year.

The economics prize will be awarded next Monday. Officially known as the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, it wasn’t created

by Nobel, but by Riksbanken, Sweden’s central bank, in 1968.

The laureates will receive their awards at elegant ceremonies in Stockholm and Oslo on Dec. 10 — the anniversary of Nobel’s death in 1896.

A look at who’s who in northeast Syria as war fears rise

By Zeina Karam The Associated Press BEIRUT — President Donald Trump’s announcement that U.S. troops in Syria would be relocated in the face of a Turkish military operation into Syria sparked a torrent of criticism and warnings of immediate and long-term negative consequences.

That’s because the region of northeastern Syria, where the Turkish president intends to launch an operation to carve out a so-called safe zone, is one of the most combustible in Syria’s long-running civil war.

A U.S. troop withdrawal and Turkish assault on the area risks re-igniting fighting in a corner of Syria only recently stabilized and where sleeper cells of the Islamic State group continue to operate.

In response to criticism from his own party, Trump tweeted on Tuesday that “in no way have webandoned the Kurds, who are special people and wonderful fighters.” The president also noted that the Turkey is a NATO ally and trading partner of the U.S. Earlier, U.S. News & World Report reported that a senior administration official confirmed that roughly 50 special forces troops operating in Northern Syria would be relocated pending a Turkish offensive.

Trump seemed to confirm that report in a tweet where he said, “we only had 50 soldiers remaining in that section of Syria, and they have been removed, any unforced or unnecessary fighting

by Turkey will be devastating to their economy and to their very fragile currency. We are helping the Kurds financially/weapons!”

A Trukish move into Syria also risks creating a new wave of displacement in an area that is home to hundreds of thousands of people, many of them already displaced by previous bouts of fighting.

Here’s a look at the various players and what they want: The Kurds Kurds make up 10 percent of Syria’s pre-war population and were an oppressed minority before the country’s conflict started in March 2011. Their presence is concentrated mostly in northern Syria.

After President Bashar Assad’s forces abandoned areas in the north at the height of the war to defend areas closer to his seat

in Damascus, the Kurds slowly carved out a semi-autonomous region and gained a degree of independence previously unthinkable. After the emergence of the Islamic State group, the U.S. chose the Kurdish fighters to partner with on the ground. The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces became the main U.S.backed force in Syria in the fight against IS. In March, the SDF captured the last sliver of land held by the extremists, marking the end of the so-called caliphate declared

by IS’s leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in 2014. It lost 11,000 fighters in the process.

The Kurds now control an area estimated to be a bit less than 30 percent of Syria, most of it territory with overwhelmingly Arab populations, outside the traditionally Kurdish-majority areas.

Foreign powers America maintains some 1,000 troops in Syria who work alongside the Kurdish fighters. Trump, in line with his focus on ending American overseas entanglements has wanted to pull them out from Syria to make good on key campaign promises.

America’s foes — Assad, Russia, and Iran — all stand to gain from a U.S. troop withdrawal and will likely bide their time until they can move in and retake the area.

In 2016 when Ankara launched an offensive against the Islamic State group west of the Euphrates river, Syrian government forces captured rebel-held parts of the northern city of Aleppo, Syria’s largest and once commercial center.

After last year’s capture by Turkish troops of the Kurdish enclave of Afrin in the north, the government captured rebel-held eastern suburbs of Damascus known as eastern Ghouta, boosting security around Assad’s seat of power.

NCDOT TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETING FOR THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF A SECOND PASSENGER RAIL PLATFORM AND PEDESTRIAN OVERPASS AT THE KANNAPOLIS TRAIN STATION IN CABARRUS COUNTY

Turkey Turkey refers to the stretch of territory run by the U.S.-allied Syrian Kurdish fighters as a “terror corridor” and calls it an existential threat.

This is because the main Kurdish group there, known as the People’s Protection Units, or YPG, is linked to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, which has waged a 35-year old conflict against the Turkish state that has left tens of thousands of people dead.

The incursion aims to clear Kurdish fighters from a strip of border territory running east of the Euphrates River to the border with Iraq. Turkey says that once secured, the area would become a “safe zone” allowing the repatriation of some 2 million of the Syrian refugees now on Turkish soil.

At the recent U.N. General Assembly, Erdogan showed a map envisaging a zone 300 miles long and 18 miles deep.

That would cover most of the territory where the bulk of Syria’s Kurdish population lives.

The incursion would be Turkey’s third into Syria. In August 2016, Turkish troops moved into a zone in northern Aleppo province, driving away Islamic State militants and Kurdish fighters.

In January 2018, Turkish troops took control of the Syrian Kurdish run enclave of Afrin in northwest Syria. Turkey also maintains troops in Syria’s northern Idlib province to oversee a socalled conflict-free zone there.

With their help, Assad has recaptured most of Syrian territory except for the north and east.

Iran and Russia are both key allies of Assad’s government with troops on the ground in Syria.

While they may publicly oppose a Turkish incursion into Syria, they probably don’t mind an operation that diminishes the Kurdish forces.

Some of Turkey’s incursions into Syria appeared to have been coordinated with Russia and Iran as part of a quid pro-quo.

Sorting out the mythical state championship Schools in North Carolina have tried to stake a claim to being the state’s best team for three decades

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal IT STARTED with Mack Brown three decades ago and was popularized again when NC State’s Tom O’Brien began using it as a way to get under rival North Carolina’s skin.

There’s no such thing as an actual state championship in college football, no revolving trophy such as that for the series between the nation’s three service academies, the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy.

You’d never know it, though, the way fans, players and even coaches debate which school’s program is the Old North State’s best from year to year. It’s a topic that first came up during Brown’s original tenure with the Tar Heels.

After going 1-10 in each of his first two seasons in Chapel Hill in 1988-89, the always positive coach began talking about the state championship as a form of motivation for the players in his fledgling program.

“When we were here 30 years ago, at first we were trying to beat anybody,” Brown said earlier this season. “We had 20 losses and two wins, so we were trying to figure

out what can we do to stir the players up.

“It’s been my philosophy my whole coaching career that if you can’t win at home, you can’t win on the road. If you can’t recruit at home, you can’t recruit out of state. So everything starts with your home state.”

Apparently, the theory holds water, because Brown’s teams won 16 straight games against in-state competition while sweeping the “state championship” competition in each of his final five seasons before leaving for Texas in 1997.

“People used to laugh at the state championship,” Brown said.

“But all of our boosters liked it when we won it, so now they’re asking me to get it back.”

Talk of the state championship died down once Brown left. But it was resurrected when O’Brien came to State and led his team to five straight wins against rival UNC. He used the subject as a way of needling the folks in Chapel Hill, and it worked. The fact that Wake Forest fans also weren’t happy about it was just a bonus.

“I think that’s really important for our state,” the former Wolfpack coach said in 2009. “As I said last year when everybody got mad about the state championship thing, ‘Hey, we’re playing you this year. We’ll be here.’ The field’s 100 yards by 53. We’re going to Winston-Salem and see you other two

CHARLOTTE — In their 25th year of existence, the Panthers significantly increased the population of the Hall, which previously had housed just one player — linebacker Sam Mills, the heart and soul of the early Panther teams and inspiration for the team’s Keep Pounding mantra.

On Sunday, the Panthers added tight end Wesley Walls, offensive tackle Jordan Gross, quarterback Jake Delhomme and wide receiver Steve Smith.

Smith is the team’s career and single-season receiving leader, while Walls is fourth on the team’s career list. Delhomme is No. 2 on most of the team’s career passing lists. Gross played all 167 of his career games for the Panthers.

Hopefully, it won’t take another 25 years for the Hall of Honor to open its doors again, because there are already plenty of Panthers players worthy of consideration. Here’s a look at who would be on the short list for the next induction class: Julius Peppers: Perhaps the biggest no-brainer on the list. Peppers likely would have been included in this year’s class, except he was still playing at the end of last season, and the team didn’t want to risk him deciding on one more year with another club. Peppers is the team’s all-time sack leader and was one of the stars of Carolina’s first Super Bowl team. He’s fully deserving of the chance to be the next Panthers’ defensive player in the Hall, joining Mills.

Jonathan Stewart: Carolina’s all-time rushing leader and a mainstay in the offense from 2008 to 2017, he also played too recently for strong consideration in this year’s class, but he seems like a lock to make it on the next goround. He shared top billing at running back with DeAngelo Williams for much of both players’ Panthers tenure, but Stewart deserves to go in first.

Muhsin Muhammad: He was Steve Smith before Smitty arrived on the scene. Most of the receiving records Smith broke had been set

by Muhammad, who had 696 catches, 9,255 yards and 50 touchdowns in two stints with the team.

Mike Minter: The 10-year safety is third in Panthers history with 17 interceptions. His four touchdowns on pick-sixes are a Panther record, however.

Freshman Cole Anthony embraces Tar Heels’ point guard legacy The five-star recruit and son of college and NBA star Greg Anthony knows about high expectations

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal CHAPEL HILL — Cole Anthony isn’t just a student at North Carolina. He’s also a student of the game of basketball.

That’s understandable since, as the son of a former NBA player and current league broadcaster, the five-star freshman has been around the game his entire life. He’s been especially studious when it comes to point guards, the position both he and his father, Greg Anthony, have played.

“I watch a lot of basketball,” the Tar Heels’ newest star said at the team’s preseason media day last week. “Whenever I watch, there’s probably one thing you can pick up from every point guard I watch.”

He said he doesn’t pattern his game after one specific player, rather “it’s a lot of players put together.”

It’s a list that includes some of the best point guards of the past and present. Surprisingly, the point guard whose college jersey is tattooed permanently onto his left forearm isn’t among them.

That doesn’t mean he hasn’t picked up a few pointers from his famous dad along the way.

“Not with the physical part, but with the mental,” the younger Anthony said. “We talk all the time.

We’re both nerds when it comes to basketball.”

If the 19-year-old New York native sounds mature for his age, it’s because he is. It’s a trait that’s likely to serve him well once what promises to be his one-and-only college season begins on Nov. 6 because of the pressure and expectations that have already been

The top-ranked point guard recruit in the nation this year, Anthony is only being asked to replace first-round NBA draft pick Coby White and immediately become a leader for the Tar Heels both on the floor and the stat sheet.

He’s already earned the respect of his older teammates through his

play in summer pickup games, and his drive to be the best at everything he does — including UNC’s preseason conditioning program.

He was tops on the team in the Tar Heels’ 12-minute run.

“Cole is one of the best players in the country already, and he hasn’t even played a game,” junior forward Garrison Brooks said of his new teammate. “That’s a lot to say,

but I believe in him. He’s a really talented guy and a hard worker.

“Cole is here at all times of the night and stays longer than anyone after practice. Those are the things that stand out to me. He’s growing as a leader to try and get everyone on the same page.”

That’s something White did well in his freshman season a year ago. While Anthony would like to

ACC kryptonite: The thorns in the sides of local college football teams Duke-Pitt is the latest example of that one foe a team can’t beat

By Shawn Krest North State Journal FOR MORE THAN 40 minutes, Duke seemed to have no answer for the Pitt Panthers.

Again.

Then, just when everyone seemed ready to turn out the lights in Wallace Wade Stadium with Duke trailing 26-3 and unable to even get a first down, the Blue Devils rallied.

What a rally it was. With a minute and a half left in the game, Duke scored a touchdown to go on top, 30-26. If the score held up, it would be the biggest comeback in school history, topping a 21-point rally 52 years ago.

But Pitt got the big play when it needed it most and came away with a victory in a wild game.

Again.

“It was a day of explosive plays and they ultimately made more than we did,” Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. “Hats off to Pitt, they responded. This one is going to be difficult to put behind us.”

Here’s the thing: Cutcliffe said that a year ago — after Pitt scored twice in the final five seconds to beat the Blue Devils in … yes, a wild game, 54-45.

“Today’s game was two big plays by Pitt, failures too often on offense — again,” Cutcliffe said.

“In the red zone too. And then the kicking game is just too inconsistent. We have flashes of brilliance at times in all three. Flashes are not what you’re looking for.”

No. Check that. Cutcliffe said that a year earlier, after the 2017 game, where Pitt scored the final 10 points to win … say it with me … a wild game, 24-17.

It’s easy to get confused. Since the start of the 2015 season, Duke is 30-21 against every team in college football except one. That’s a .588 winning percentage.

Against that one team — Pitt — the Blue Devils are 0-5.

The Panthers, meanwhile, are 5-0 against Duke, and 27-26 against the rest of the world over that time frame.

The five-game win streak

ROBERT CLARK | FOR THE NORTH STATE JOURNAL

Duke quarterback Quentin Harris lost three fumbles and threw two interceptions as the Blue Devils’ struggles against Pitt continued with a 33-30 loss Saturday at Wallace Wade Stadium. matches the longest either team has had in the series.

They’ve lost every way a team can lose. They’ve been thumped — 31-13 and 56-14. They’ve given up leads. They’ve had their hearts broken.

The players have all changed.

Staffs have been shuffled.

Schemes have been tweaked. Yet each year, when the final gun sounds, Pitt has Duke’s number.

The Duke-Pitt series isn’t an outlier in the ACC. For whatever reasons, some teams just end up being kryptonite to others, always seeming to show up to derail a promising season for the favored team.

Consider Pitt’s own kryptonite.

During Larry Fedora’s last two seasons at North Carolina, the Tar Heels were 3-18 against the rest of the world, 0-14 in the ACC. Against Pitt, the Heels were 2-0, 2-0.

Carolina’s win over Miami earlier this season was its first over a non-Pitt ACC opponent in 1,036 days.

Since Pitt joined the ACC, the Tar Heels have never lost to the Panthers, going 6-0.

Over that span, Carolina has

“It’s just people.”

David Cutcliffe, Duke coach

not beaten any other ACC foe more than three times and only has multiple wins against five other conference opponents.

While Duke has struggled with Pitt, the Blue Devils, even in the darkest days at the start of Cutcliffe’s tenure, were kryptonite for someone.

Virginia has gotten a measure of revenge in recent years, but from 2008 to 2014, Duke went 6-1 against the Cavaliers.

Over that same period, the Blue Devils were 34-47 (.420) against everyone else and 14-35 (.286) in the ACC. In two seasons over that span, Virginia was Duke’s lone ACC win.

Meanwhile, over at NC State, the Wolfpack are 90-78 since 2005 for a .536 record, not including their 6-8 mark against

Wake Forest, who have more sub.500 seasons over that time than losses to State. The Deacs are 8086 (.482) in games not against NC State.

Each of the last two seasons, the Wolfpack had nine wins, only to lose to Wake in the final month. Last year, State’s losses were to Clemson, who finished 15-0, 10-win Syracuse, ninewin Texas A&M and Wake (7-6).

The year before, the Pack lost to 12-win Clemson, 10-win Notre Dame, nine-win South Carolina and Wake (8-5).

Pack killer — or at least Pack annoyer — Wake was 2-4 against Boston College in the last six years before winning last month.

And the cycle continues to turn.

Each team, seemingly, laid low by an opponent who looks weaker on paper.

No scheme or magic tactic can explain it.

“It’s just people,” Cutcliffe said prior to this year’s loss to Pitt.

“They’ve had some good people running the football and now they’ve got an excellent quarterback and big receivers.”

It’s just people. And who knows what people are going to do?

duplicate that success, the style with which he pursues it is different from that of his UNC point guard predecessor.

White was a score-first ballhandler who led the team with 232 3-point attempts and finished second in scoring at 16.1 points per game. The 6-foot-3 Anthony is capable of scoring too, as his 18 points per game average as a senior at Oak Hill Academy attests, but according to coach Roy Williams, “he’s more of a quarterback” who makes everyone else on the court better.

Anthony described himself as an “all-around player” during his first session with the media last week, saying that his only goal as a member of the Tar Heels is to win a national championship — just like his father did at UNLV in 1990.

“Forget my individual goals,” he said. “I’m here to win. That’s my one goal.”

In that respect, he’s no different from many of the other great point guards that have worn Carolina blue.

It’s a UNC tradition that dates back to Hall of Famer Phil Ford and includes such luminaries as Kenny Smith, national champions Derrick Phelps, Raymond Felton, Ty Lawson and Joel Berry, along with fellow Bob Cousy Award winner and current staff member Kendall Marshall.

As a student of the game, Anthony is well aware of that line of succession and that his place in it is something that has to be earned.

“Coach Williams and everyone on staff here, they’ve showed me footage of some of the dudes playing before,” he said. “I’ve just tried to take that and envision myself into those same roles. It means a lot. Hopefully I don’t mess it up.”

Having the opportunity to be the Tar Heels’ next great point guard played a major role in Anthony’s decision to attend UNC for his presumed one-and-done college season.

“Coach Williams has the most Cousy Award winners here, so that’s awesome to come into this program that has a great lineage of point guards,” the freshman star said. “There are a lot of expectations to live up to, but I’m ready.”

PANTHERS from page B1 ing for the next class include Williams, cornerback Chris Gamble (the team’s interceptions leader), longtime kicker John Kasay and five-time Pro Bowler Michael Bates.

Then we get into the next generation of Hall of Honor candidates — the ones who helped lead the team to the second Super Bowl.

That induction class — the one on double deck — could include: Thomas Davis: Probably the biggest no-brainer from this group. The linebacker bounced back from multiple knee surgeries and was the driving force on the defense, even if he wasn’t always the best player — although he was usually close to it. His name isn’t at the top of many team lists, but it’s on the lips of most of his teammates when they list team MVP candidates.

Ryan Kalil: The longtime center and five-time Pro Bowler took the mantle from Gross as the leader of the offense.

Greg Olson: The Pro Bowl tight end has been the top target in the post-Steve Smith era. He’s also a low-key leader on the offense and one of the first players to meet with the media crowd after each game.

Charles Johnson: There’s no shame in being second to Julius Peppers, and that’s where the 11-year fixture at defensive end sits on the team’s all-time career sacks list.

After that class of four comes the in-their-prime Panthers, the ones who will need to wait a couple inductions down the road until their careers are in the books.

Cam Newton: Yet another no-brainer. He was an MVP, a multiple Pro Bowler, the top passer in team history and one of the top runners. He was also the biggest name in the NFL for several seasons. And that doesn’t even mention his achievements in postgame fashion and press conference quotes.

Luke Kuechly: Not quite as big a no brainer as Newton, but still a no-doubter. He’ll challenge Peppers for the title of the best defensive Panther in history.

Christian McCaffrey: He’s got some work to do, but three years into his career, he’s off to about as good a start as possible.

Ron Rivera: He’s now the team’s winningest coach and led the Panthers to one of their two Super Bowl appearances. Riverboat Ron may not always be the most popular guy in town, but he’s been the team’s best coach.

Hockey’s continued eye-for-an-eye culture needs to change

The Fayetteville Marksmen will host the first professional hockey game to be held on a military base in the United States when they play the Roanoke Rail Yard Dogs in a Southern Professional Hockey League preseason game on Saturday at Cleland Ice Rink on Fort Bragg.

The NHL’s self-policing sets a bad example

Fort Bragg set to host first pro hockey game on active military base this weekend The SPHL’s Fayetteville Marksmen will play the Roanoke Rail Yard Dogs in a preseason game Saturday at Cleland Ice Rink

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal CHUCK NORRIS — NO, not that Chuck Norris — has fond memories of playing hockey at Fort Bragg’s Cleland Ice Rink when he was a soldier stationed at the Fayetteville Army base.

He’ll have a chance Saturday to relive the experience, or at least something similar to it, with some of those still in uniform.

Norris won’t be playing this time, but the minor league team he owns will.

When the Fayetteville Marksmen take on the Roanoke Rail Yard Dogs in a Southern Professional Hockey League preseason game, it will mark the first time a professional hockey game has ever been played on an active military installation.

It’s an event similar to the one Major League Baseball staged between the Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins on the base in 2016. But that wasn’t the motivation that inspired Norris and his team to schedule a game of their own.

“For me personally, just to have a small part of it is really an honor,” said Norris, a Charlotte businessman who has owned the Marksmen since 2017. “I was surprised to hear they had never had an actual game out there prior to this. It’s just a thrill, really. I don’t know how else to describe it.”

Fort Bragg is one of only three military bases in the country that has an ice rink.

Its proximity to Fayetteville has allowed the Marksmen —

and the city’s two previous teams, the Force and the FireAntz — to hold training camp and practices there on occasion when the Crown Coliseum hasn’t been available.

The idea for the game came about last preseason when the team was forced to work out at Cleland while renovations to its home rink were being completed. It began with a conversation between Marksmen coach Jesse Kallechy and rink manager A.J. Guimont “Last fall, (Kallechy) and I were talking about how cool it would be to have a game at Cleland,” Guimont said in a release issued by the team. “When Mr. Norris got involved, the ball started rolling. After getting the thumbs-up from the (Morale, Recreation and Welfare) director Raymond Lacey and garrison commander Col. (Phillip D.) Sounia, we could start preparing for the event.”

Surprisingly, Norris said that very little red tape was involved in getting approval for Saturday’s game.

“A.J. did all the heavy lifting,” Norris said. “He’s an absolute stud. For us, it wasn’t too bad. A.J. works for MWR and they were able to make it happen.

All the credit to those guys, man.

They did an unbelievable job.”

The game will be played at 6 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets are $10 each and while they aren’t limited to members of the military and their families — as the baseball game was — they are only available on base at Fort Bragg’s Leisure Travel Service.

To say that it’s a hot ticket would be an understatement. Because of Cleland’s small seating capacity, only 500 will be sold.

While that might not sound like a lot of people, their proximity to the ice and the acoustics of the

I don’t know how else to describe it.”

rink promise to make for a lot of noise during the game.

“I think it’s going to be a heck of a raucous atmosphere,” said Shawn Bednard, the Marksmen’s broadcaster and community relations director. “You get 50 people in there and everyone’s on top of you, so you can imagine what it will sound like when 500 people are there cheering.”

Bednard said that food trucks and a beer wagon will be available outside the arena to handle concessions.

The Marksmen, who finished 25-23-8 in the eight-team SPHL last season, are scheduled to begin their 2019-20 season on Friday, Oct. 18 at Macon with their home opener the following night against the Knoxville Ice Bears.

While playing on Fort Bragg could help the Marksmen increase their profile on the base and perhaps win over some new fans there — something Fayetteville sports teams have always had trouble doing — Norris said that’s not why the game was scheduled.

“For us, the exposure and branding out there on Fort Bragg is certainly attractive to us and it makes us more inclined to do it,” he said. “But for me, it’s something more personal with Fort Bragg. For us, it’s kind of giving back a little bit to those guys who do so much for us.”

AT THE RINK this weekend, I overheard someone tell a player to “remember his number for next time,” a not-all-that-uncommon statement in the world of sports.

Despite the knowledge we as a society have about concussions, the fickle nature of sports and the finite careers of athletes, plenty of people are still out for blood if they feel they were wronged on the playing field.

The last two weeks in the NHL have offered plenty of examples.

San Jose’s Evander Kane let his never-ending rage toward the Vegas Golden Knights bubble over, getting thrown out of a Sept. 29 preseason game for abuse of an official and receiving a threegame suspension to start the season.

The Sharks, in turn, lost all three of those games — including consecutive outings to the Golden Knights — to start their season by allowing 12 goals while scoring just three.

Also losing their first three games were the Dallas Stars, who opened the 2019-20 campaign with a home loss to Boston followed by road losses in St. Louis and Detroit.

The most memorable moment from those three games? Bruins TV play-by-play man Jack Edwards again suffering from footin-mouth disease last Thursday with insensitive comments about injured Stars defensemen Roman Polak.

As Polak lay motionless on the ice after crashing head-first into the boards, Edwards opined that the play “has a little bit of bad hockey karma” — insinuating that the Stars defenseman deserved the injury, which ended up being a fractured sternum, because he was attempting to check a Bruins player in the corner.

Polak was on the ice for nearly five minutes and then stretchered off, but Edwards still doubled down the next day after being criticized by Polak’s agent, the equally outspoken Allan Walsh, by saying “I stand by my real-time call.”

The Carolina Hurricanes, meanwhile, opened their season with three straight wins, but not before the league’s revenge culture kicked in starting with the preseason finale at PNC Arena against the Washington Capitals.

The Capitals’ Tom Wilson, who has been suspended four times for a combined 23 games by the league for his dirty play, was given a 10-minute misconduct in the exhibition game after he and the Hurricanes’ bench engaged in a war of words.

The crux of the argument, it seems, centered on Wilson letting Carolina forward Warren Foegele know there would be payback for the latter’s hit on Wash-

STATE CHAMP from page B1 guys in Raleigh.”

Back then, the mythical state championship was contested between the ACC’s Big Four programs. These days, East Carolina, Appalachian State and Charlotte have been added into the mix of FBS teams.

That has only added to the passion associated with the “who’s best” debate, especially after the Mountaineers marched into Kenan Stadium last month and staked their claim to the title by beating the Tar Heels.

“We went to Chapel Hill believing we were going to win,” Mountaineers coach and former NC State offensive coordinator Eliah Drinkwitz said after his team’s 34-31 win, “because we were going to be the better team that day.”

App State has been North Carolina’s best team in terms of record for the past four seasons with an average of 10 wins and a bowl victory each year.

But has it been the state’s best program?

Supporters of the Big Four ACC schools will argue that the Mountaineers haven’t faced the same kind of competition in the Sun Belt Conference as their counterparts playing a Power 5 schedule.

And there’s merit to that.

One lesson they don’t need?

That retribution is part of hockey. And until the pros — the players, coaches and even announcers — set that example for kids and their parents, it will never go away.

ington winger T.J. Oshie during last year’s first-round playoff series. The hit wound up breaking Oshie’s collarbone and knocked him out for the balance of the Capitals’ seven-game loss to the Hurricanes.

Oshie, for his part, was also recorded this offseason answering a fan question about who he would choose if he had to fight anyone during the upcoming season.

While not naming Foegele, Oshie said, “I’m sure a lot of people can probably guess, the way I went out with the season” and was followed by still images of Oshie injured on the ice with Foegele in the shot.

All that led Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour — accused

by Caps coach Todd Reirden of crossing a line for talking to Wilson from the bench during the preseason game — to address the brewing conflict ahead of Carolina’s second game of the season in Washington for the Capitals’ home opener, adding that he’d be happy to discuss the situation with Reirden.

Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed in the Hurricanes’ 3-2 overtime win in D.C. Will Wilson and Oshie still be looking for Foegele’s No. 13 when the teams play three times in 17 days in late December/early January? Only time will tell.

As for the statement I overheard this past weekend, it didn’t come at PNC Arena or another NHL rink — it was following a 12U Pee Wee house league game in which my son had just played.

Upon hearing this from an adult talking to the preteen as they exited the rink, I turned and told him, “They’re kids.”

But I was wrong. This problem, the vigilante justice that pervades hockey culture, shouldn’t be kept to the pros. It’s wrong from the highest level of hockey down to the rinks where young players are just learning to love the game.

One lesson they don’t need?

That retribution is part of hockey. And until the pros — the players, coaches and even announcers — set that example for kids and their parents, it will never go away.

Hopefully someone doesn’t have to be taken off the ice on a stretcher for that to sink in.

which team is actually the best and which can definitively claim the “state championship,” since they don’t all play one another and some teams play more in-state opponents than others.

With that in mind, the North State Journal has devised a ranking system designed to bring at least a little clarity to the discussion. Keep in mind, it’s not a perfect form of evaluation, but at least it creates something resembling an even playing field for all seven of the teams involved.

The system works like this: • Two points for a win against a Power 5 opponent • One point for a win against a Group of 6 opponent • A half-point for a win against an FCS opponent • An extra half-point for a Group of 6 team beating a Power 5 opponent Based on that criteria, here’s what the current standings look like:

Aerospace company to invest $2.7 million in Butner Approved Logos

Ontic Engineering and Manufacturing, Inc., a global aerospace company, will create 126 new jobs in Granville County, Governor Roy Cooper announced last week. The manufacturer will invest $2.7 million to expand their facility in Butner.

Since 1974, Ontic has been providing high-quality aerospace equipment, cost-effective solutions and aftermarket support of maturing and legacy aerospace platforms. With locations in the United States, Europe and Asia, Ontic provides FAA, CAAS, CAAC, TCCA, DCA, EASA Part 21 and 145 original equipment manufacturer (OEM) support for civil and military markets.

Their portfolio of more than 6,500 maturing and legacy aircraft parts are licensed or acquired from major OEMs such as Honeywell, UTC Aerospace, Safran, Curtiss-Wright, GE Aviation and Thales.

“North Carolina is always a top choice for global manufacturing companies,” said North Carolina Commerce Secretary Anthony M. Copeland. “Last year, our state exported $32.7 billion in manufactured goods and we know our manufacturing economy will continue to grow with the success of Ontic for many years to come.”

Governor Cooper proclaimed last week North Carolina Manufacturing Week with manufacturing celebrations statewide. With more than 470,000 manufacturing employees across the state, North Carolina has the largest manufacturing workforce in the Southeast and ninth largest in the nation. Manufacturing accounts for 19% of North Carolina’s economic output at $104.9 billion. Manufacturing week also celebrated an additional 50 jobs in Harnett County and Honeywell’s previous commitment to add 750 new jobs during their headquarters groundbreaking ceremony in Charlotte last week.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The United States and Japan signed a trade agreement Monday that will benefit American farmers and opens up digital trade opportunities.

“This is a huge victory for America’s farmers, ranchers and growers. And that’s very important to me,” Trump said in a signing ceremony at the White House with the Japanese Ambassador Shinsuke Sugiyama.

According to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, “of the $14.1 billion in U.S. food and agricultural products imported by Japan in 2018, $5.2 billion were already duty free.” The firststage of Monday’s agreement will result in Japan eliminating or reducing tariffs on an additional $7.2 billion of U.S. food and agricultural products. The result will be that over 90 percent of U.S. food and agricultural products imported into Japan will be duty free or receive preferential tariff access, according to the trade office.

Soybeans, which have been hit hard by retaliatory tariffs from China, already enter Japan duty-free, so the agreement does not improve that industry’s economic situation. Other commodities — like pork, beef, and dairy — will benefit from the new agreement.

The agreement reduces tariffs of fresh and frozen pork and provides staged tariff elimination for cheeses, processed pork, poultry, beef offal, ethanol, wine, frozen potatoes, oranges, fresh cherries, egg products, and tomato paste.

Tariffs will also be eliminated for U.S. almonds, walnuts, blueberries, cranberries, sweet corn, grain sorghum and broccoli.

In North Carolina, farmers have been hit with natural disasters, a series of lawsuits and international trade disputes which have been bad for business. President Trump granted a disaster declaration Friday covering 14 counties in eastern N.C. after

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) will host U.S. Department of Agirculture Secretary Sonny Perdue in Union County on Wednesday where the two will discuss trade and labor issues with local farmers.

North Carolina’s Lt. Gov. Dan Forest attended the White House signing ceremony for the Japan trade agreement and said the deal will benefit the state’s farmers. “I was honored to have joined President Trump at the White House for the U.S.-Japan Trade Agreement signing,” said Forest in a statement. “Among many things, this new agreement will have a positive impact on our hog and poultry farmers as well as our agriculture community.”

U.S. farmers have been operating at a disadvantage in Japan since the U.S. withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, which had been negotiated by the Obama administration.

The other 11 Pacific Rim countries, including big farm producers such as New Zealand and Canada, went ahead without the United States and were enjoying preferential treatment in Japan.

Tami Overby, senior director on Asia and trade issues at the McLarty Associates consultancy, said America’s competitors in agriculture got a two-year head start and used it to sign multiyear contracts in Japan to sell farm products. “We’re going to have to thrash back and fight for lost market share,” she said.

The deal comes at a time when other parts of the Trump administration’s trade agenda have stalled. The United States has been locked in a costly trade war with China for more than a year — though negotiators are scheduled to resume talks in Washington Thursday. Congress has yet to approve a North American trade deal Trump’s trade team negotiated last year with Canada and Mexico.

While rewarding American farmers, the new deal does not resolve differences over trade in autos, which was a large part of Obama’s TPP deal. Trump has said the two countries continue to work on a more comprehensive agreement.

“This is a huge victory for America’s farmers, ranchers and growers.

And that’s very important to me.”

Trump said in a signing ceremony at the White House with the Japanese Ambassador Shinsuke Sugiyama.

Trump has threatened to impose import taxes on foreign autos, claiming they pose a threat to U.S. national security. At the UN general assembly, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told reporters that Trump had assured him that a previous agreement to spare Japan from new auto tariffs still stood.

But Japanese automakers were disappointed that the United States kept existing auto tariffs at 2.5%.

The new trade pact also includes market-opening commitments on $40 billion worth of digital trade between the two countries. This provision goes beyond the original TPP deal and includes prohibitions on imposing customs duties on digital products transmitted electronically such as videos, music, e-books, software, and games.

Monday’s Japan deal, Overby said, “is important, but it’s still not the whole enchilada.” U.S. business groups are holding out for a broader deal that would give American companies more access to Japan in businesses such as insurance and pharmaceuticals.

Trump has long complained about America’s large trade deficit with Japan, which came to $58 billion last year. Japan is the world’s third-biggest economy behind the United States and China.

The deal was first announced at the August Group of 7 summit in Biarritz, France. At the UN gathering last month, the two countries signed an agreement-in-principle.

STATEWIDE SPOTLIGHT Sponsored by

Celebrating 130 Years of Public Power More than 70 communities across our state benefit from public power.

These municipal-owned utilities are a tremendous local value, providing safe, reliable electric service and outstanding customer service to more than 1.2 million North Carolinians. “As hometown utilities, public power communities always have the best interest of their local residents at heart,” says Roy Jones, CEO of ElectriCities, a nonprofit organization that works with public power communities across N.C. and beyond. October 6 – 12 is national Public Power Week, a time to pause and celebrate our vital and thriving local utilities.

Public power has a rich tradition in North Carolina that dates back to 1889, when the City of Statesville first began using electric lights instead of gas streetlamps to illuminate its downtown. Today, N.C. ranks among the top 10 providers of public power in the nation.

This year’s Public Power Week theme — Customer Focused, Community Powered — reflects public power’s commitment to meet the needs of the local communities it serves. “During Hurricane Dorian, it was a true inspiration to see public power communities rally around each other and lend a hand to help their neighbors in need,” says Jones of ElectriCities. “That type of dedication and support is a hallmark of public power communities.”

C2 Boeing delivers just 26 planes in September, extending slump CHICAGO — Boeing’s troubles are deepening as the grounding of the 737 Max jetliner approaches the seven-month mark.

The aircraft maker said Tuesday it delivered just 26 planes in September, down from 87 a year earlier, when it was ramping up Max production.

The Chicago-based company delivered just two 737s last month, compared with 61 a year earlier. The 737 is a longtime airline favorite for short and medium routes.

The Max has been grounded worldwide since mid-March after the second of two crashes that killed a total of 346 people.

Boeing says it’s fixing software on the plane that triggered nose-down pitches before both crashes.

It hopes to win Federal Aviation Administration approval to return the plane to flying this year.

But many analysts and pilot-union leaders think 2020 is more likely.

Powell says Fed must avoid political pressures

By Morgan Smith The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Monday stressed the importance of an independent central bank “absolutely free” from politics in the wake of increasing pressure from President Donald Trump urging the central bank to lower interest rates.

Powell spoke to a crowd of hundreds in Salt Lake City at the premiere of a documentary about for-

mer Federal Reserve Chairman Marriner Eccles, a Utah resident before he died.

“Perhaps most importantly from my perspective as Fed Chair, he is responsible more than any other person for the fact that the United States today has an independent central bank — a central bank able to make decisions in the long-term best interest of the economy, without regard to the political pressures of the moment,” Powell said.

Trump has said the United

States is missing out on economic opportunities because of “boneheads” at the Federal Reserve. He has insisted that slashing interest rates would boost the global economy.

The U.S. economy is in its 11th year of expansion, the longest on record. To help avoid a recession, the Federal Reserve has cut its benchmark interest rate twice this year.

Powell did not mention Trump by name in his brief remarks in Utah but highlighted Eccles’ work

to safeguard the central bank from outside influence.

“I leave you with this statement from Marriner, inscribed on a plaque in the Eccles Building: ‘The management of the central bank must be absolutely free from the dangers of control by politics and by private interests, singly or combined,’” Powell said.

He praised Eccles as a smart leader who helped the U.S. recover from the Great Depression. Eccles served as chairman from 1934 until 1948.

Parent of Toys R Us teams up with Target to power online biz NEW YORK — The parent company of Toys R Us is turning to a key rival to restart its e-commerce business ahead of the holiday shopping season.

Tru Kids Brands is teaming up with discounter Target Corp. to relaunch Toysrus.com, according to a joint release. The site, which launched Tuesday, features product reviews and videos and directs browsers to a buy button at Target.com to complete the purchase.

Both Target and Tru Kids declined to share details of the financial terms. But while analysts say the move is a big win for Target’s toy business, they question why Toys R Us’s parent company would decide to outsource e-commerce to a third party.

The move comes as the first two new Toys R Us stores — one in Houston, the other in Paramus, New Jersey — will open in November as part of a small comeback of the defunct iconic toy chain in the U.S. Target.com will also handle online sales in those two stores.

Retailers including Walmart, Party City, and Target have been competing for sales left on the table after Toys R Us filed for bankruptcy and liquidated in March 2018.

But Target has been one of the most aggressive. Last October, it devoted extra space at 500 locations near former Toys R Us stores to feature a bigger selection and larger toys like playhouses.

Neil Saunders, managing director at GlobalData Retail, says that the Tru Kids’ deal with Target helps the Minneapolisbased discounter bolster its already strong toy sales.

But it also helps Toys R Us hand off the complex issues of fulfillment. Still, he says the deal “raises a lot of questions on Toys R Us’s future.”

“It’s a neat solution but not an ideal solution,” said Saunders. “It’s ceding control to another competitor.”

After Toys R Us closed its stores, a group of investors in October 2018 won an auction for Toys R Us assets, believing they would do better by potentially reviving the toy chain rather than selling it off for parts. Richard Barry, now CEO of Tru Kids and a former Toys R Us executive, along with other former executives, founded Tru Kids earlier this year and are now managing the Toys R Us, Babies R Us and Geoffrey brands.

US consumer borrowing up $17.9 billion in August The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — Consumer borrowing increased at a solid pace in August, helped by the biggest jump in auto and student loans in three years.

Total credit rose $17.9 billion after a $23 billion increase in July, the Federal Reserve reported Monday.

The August strength came from a $19.8 billion increase in the category that covers auto and student loans. It was the biggest monthly advance since August 2016.

That strong gain offset a $1.9 billion drop in the category that covers credit cards.

Consumer borrowing is closely watched for signs it can provide

about the strength of consumer spending.

The economy has been slowing this year due to headwinds from a cooling in global growth and President Donald Trump’s trade war with China, both of which have harmed American manufacturers.

But so far strong consumer spending has been able to cush-

ion the economy against adverse shocks. Economists believe spending will remain strong for the rest of this year, aided by the lowest unemployment in a half-century, which boosts income growth.

The consumer borrowing report showed that the $1.9 billion drop in credit card use in August was that category’s weakest performance since a $2.8 billion decline in March.

The August changes left total U.S. consumer borrowing at a new high of $4.14 trillion.

The Fed’s monthly credit report does not cover home mortgages or other loans secured by real estate, such as home equity loans.

The new Chevrolet Corvette convertible

By Jordan Golson For the North State Journal CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — In the shadow of historic hardware with names like Saturn, Gemini, and Mercury, another famous name from the 1950’s appeared here in the Rocket Garden at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex last week. There were roaring engines, too, though they wouldn’t be taking anyone to space today.

The new 2020 Chevrolet Corvette hardtop convertible is here, introduced in front of an assembled crowd of journalists, dealers, and more than a few astronauts.

The Corvette has a special place

in the hearts of America’s space corps, after an enterprising local Chevrolet dealer offered sweetheart $1/year lease deals to astronauts on any Chevrolet of their choice — and naturally, many of them chose Corvettes. NASA was reportedly (and correctly) concerned that photos of the astronauts in their Corvettes would serve as an endorsement. And Chevrolet has certainly leaned into that.

More than fifty years later, the Corvette is still connected to the space program and we had a number of astronauts in attendance at the Kennedy Space Center reveal — and more than a few jokes about bringing back the $1/

year lease deal. Given that few marketing schemes are still delivering decades after they were rolled out, we imagine there are some folks in Detroit giving serious thought to it.

But back to the cars.

The 2020 Corvette Stingray Convertible is the first hard-top convertible Corvette and starts at $67,495, exactly $7,500 more than the coupe. Even more impressive, the convertible keeps the exact same cargo capacity as the coupe, even with the top down: enough for two golf bags. This is a big deal for the Corvette crowd.

The Convertible Stingray has the same naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8, making 495 hor-

serpower and 470 lb-ft of torque (when equipped with the performance exhaust). The top can go up or down in 16 seconds (actually faster, but that time includes the windows rolling up or down) — AND it can go up or down when you’re moving up to 30 mph. So, it’s no problem if you get surprised by a sudden afternoon thunderstorm.

It’s also stunningly gorgeous, and looks like a car that should cost three times as much. Even the astronauts were impressed.

Production will start in the first quarter of 2020, coming to dealerships soon after.

Then we were surprised by another new Corvette. This one

quite a bit louder. Alongside the development of the mid-engine car aimed at consumers, Chevy has also been working on the C8.R GTLM racing car.

The car — which normally runs the signature bright yellow of Corvette Racing — runs in races like the Twelve Hours of Sebring, 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the Rolex 24 at Daytona — the endurance racing Triple Crown, which Corvette captured last year.

Chevy and Corvette Racing said that the cars were designed side-by-side, with extensive tech going from street to the track and back again. Having a competitive race car is huge for Corvette, and it allows owners to point to the track and say “that’s my car out there.”

The Corvette C8.R will debut in January at the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

entertainment ‘Joker’ laughs its way to October box office record

By Lindsey Bahr The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — The filmmakers and studio behind “Joker” have reason to put on a happy face.

Despite concerns over its violent themes and ramped up theater security, audiences flocked to the multiplex to check out the R-rated film this weekend resulting in a record October opening.

Warner Bros. said Sunday that “Joker” grossed an estimated $93.5 million in ticket sales from 4,374 screens in North America. The previous October record-holder was the Spider-Man spinoff “Venom” which opened to $80 million last year. Internationally, “Joker” earned $140.5 million from 73 markets, resulting in a stunning $234 million global debut.

“This was a much larger result at the box office than we had ever anticipated globally,” said Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros.’ president of domestic distribution. “Putting records aside, we’re just thrilled that audiences are embracing the movie as strong as they are.”

Since debuting at the Venice Film Festival where it won the prestigious Golden Lion last month, “Joker” has been both praised and criticized for its dark spin on the classic Batman villain played by Joaquin

Phoenix. The film from director and co-writer Todd Phillips was always seen as a bit of a gamble with one of the studios’ most valuable pieces of intellectual property, hence its modest-for-a-comic-book-film $55 million budget.

But in the weeks leading up to its release, hype and uneasiness intensified beyond how audiences would react to placing this character in a realistic and unambiguously adult setting with “Taxi Driver” undertones. Responding to anxiety that the film might have the potential to inspire violence, multiple the-

ater chains banned costumes or reaffirmed earlier policies regarding masks and authorities in numerous cities said they were stepping police patrols around theaters. Some relatives of the 2012 Aurora movie theater shooting even asked Warner Bros . to commit to gun control causes — the studio said it always has.

While some worried this would impact the box office, it did not ultimately detract audiences from turning out opening weekend; the box office surpassed industry expectations and may rise even higher

when weekend actuals are reported Monday. Although the film got a B+ CinemaScore from opening night audiences, the studio is optimistic about its long-term playability.

“Sixty-six percent of the audience was under the age of 35,” Goldstein said. “That tells you that the audience will expand out with that younger group as time goes on.” The younger audience also gave the film a more favorable A- CinemaScore.

Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for box office tracker Comscore, said that the convergence of critical acclaim and controversy actually helped the film become bigger than expected at the box office.

“It’s the ultimate water-cooler movie right now,” Dergarabedian said.

He added that it was important that “Joker” was always marketed as a “very dark, R-rated film.”

“It always had an element of mystery and danger surrounding it,” Dergarabedian said. “If it were a G-rated film, controversy like this would not be a good thing.”

In the landscape of R-rated comic book films, “Joker” is nestled between “Deadpool” and its sequel, both of which opened over $125 million, and “Logan,” which launched with $88.4 million.

“Joker” was the only new wide re-

lease this weekend, which is down from last year when both “Venom” and “A Star is Born” opened. Holdovers populated the top 10: The more family friendly “Abominable” landed in second place with $12 million in its second weekend and “Downton Abbey” took third in its third weekend with $8 million.

With awards buzz behind it, the Judy Garland biopic “Judy,” starring Renee Zellweger, added nearly 1,000 screens this weekend and placed seventh with $4.5 million from 1,458 locations.

And in limited release, Pedro Almodóvar’s critically acclaimed “Pain and Glory” launched on four screens to a solid $160,087. Less fortunate was the Natalie Portman-led astronaut drama “Lucy in the Sky” which earned only $55,000 from 37 theaters resulting in a dismal $1,500 per screen average.

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.”Joker,” $93.5 million 2.”Abominable,” $12 million 3.”Downton Abbey,” $8 million 4.”Hustlers,” $6.3 million 5.”It Chapter Two,” $5.4 million 6.”Ad Astra,” $4.6 million 7.”Judy,” $4.4 million 8.”Rambo: Last Blood,” $3.6 million 9.”War,” $1.5 million 10.”Good Boys,” $900,000.
