Berger says Senate will adjourn by Halloween

JOURNaL

NC Gov. Roy Cooper continued Tuesday to push for Medicaid expansion while Republican legislators sought a replacement state budget with Democrat support.

Republican Senate leader Phil Berger announced his chamber will adjourn for the year by Oct. 31 with or without an enacted budget. He also kept open the idea of passing a spending plan by completing the override of Cooper’s budget bill veto or working out a side deal with Senate Democrats.

“At some point we’ve got to wrap this up,” Berger said.

Duke Energy seeks 6% rate increase in western NC

By A.P. Dillon North State Journal

About 2 million Duke Energy customers in central and western North Carolina would face an average 6% rate increase if state regulators approve the country’s largest electric company’s request. Duke Energy said Monday it needed another $290 million a year to recoup spending on grid upgrades, coalash cleanup, storm repairs and to increase its potential profit margin to 10.3%. The company also proposes recouping money faster for three coal-burning power plants, potentially leading to earlier closings. The proposal would add over $8 per month to the typical residential customer’s bill.

DURHAM — The list of this year’s prestigious McArthur Foundation Fellowship grants includes Jenny Tung, associate professor of Evolutionary Anthropology at Duke University.

The $625,000 fellowship is awarded annually to 20 to 30 individuals with “no-strings attached” to “encourage people of outstanding talent to pursue their own creative, intellectual, and professional inclinations.”

Tung, who is 37-years old, lives in the Durham area with her husband, a Duke statistician and mathematician, and their young son, who is 22 months old.

Over the years, Tung has been nominated for, and has won, several awards, but Tung told NSJ the MacArthur award was completely unexpected, and her first reaction was a rush of adrenaline followed by disbelief.

“We put our science out in the world, and you hope that people find it useful and interesting,” said Tung. “And it’s sort of this incredible validation that there are people in my community, and even outside it, who think what we’re doing is good.”

Tung lived in a small town in Delaware of around 5,000 people until she was 14 years old before finishing high school just out-

side of Atlanta, Georgia, where her parents still live.

It was a class her first semester of college about the evolution of animal societies, evolutionary thinking and evolutionary explanations for the natural world, Tung explained, that attracted her interest.

“It just made a lot of sense to me, and I loved the fact that that kind of logic could be applied to things as complexes as social behavior, you know, as relationships between individuals,” said Tung.

“And then, you know, for me getting into evolution meant getting into genetics because genetic variation is kind of the substrate for evolution.”

Tung received both her Bachelor of Science (2003) and her Ph. D (2010) degrees from Duke University. After Duke, Tung was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Chicago.

Tung’s current work involves the long-term studies of baboons and rhesus macaques, examining the genetic mechanisms between social experiences and the health of the animals.

“We’re trying to understand in the baboons how things that happen early in life somehow seem to have these really long-term effects on how these animals do, how See DUKE, page A2

Democrats push Trump impeachment with demands on administration The Associated Press WASHINGTON, D.C. — Taking a defiant stance in the impeachment inquiry, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Tuesday declared that House Democrats are trying to “intimidate, bully and treat improperly” five current and former career officials in seeking information in the Ukraine investigation.

Pompeo said in a letter to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, as part of the chamber’s impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, that the requested dates for the officials to voluntari-

ly appear for depositions were “not feasible.”

“I am concerned with aspects of your request,” Pompeo wrote to Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., chairman of the panel. “I will not tolerate such tactics, and I will use all means at my disposal to prevent and expose any attempts to intimidate the dedicated professionals.”

The muscular response from Pompeo came one day after it was disclosed that he was among those listening in on Trump’s July phone call with the Ukraine president See TRUMP page A2

NC shuts 3 prisons to combat staff shortages

By David Larson North State Journal RALEIGH — Three minimum security prisons in rural areas of the state have been temporarily shuttered to address staffing shortages, according to a Sept. 24 North Carolina Dept. of Public Safety press release.

“As part of ongoing reform efforts, the Division of Adult Correction and Juvenile Justice will temporarily suspend operations at three minimum custody facilities and move correctional officers and other staff to neighboring prisons to address staffing challenges,” the release said.

The three facilities are Hoke Correctional Institution in Raeford; Tyrrell Prison Work Farm in Columbia; and Odom Correctional Institution in Jackson. While operations are suspended, Commissioner of Prisons Todd Ishee said, “Employees will be temporarily reassigned to help their colleagues at facilities with high vacancy issues.”

State Sen. Bob Steinburg (R-Chowan), chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Prison Safety, told NSJ in a statement that he would be seeking more answers on why this action was takSee PRISONS, page A2

TRUMP from page A1 that helped trigger the impeachment inquiry. The pushback signals a stiffening in the confrontation between the executive and legislative branches over impeachment.

House Democrats launched what they are calling an impeachment inquiry of Trump after an unnamed accuser made allegations of impropriety related to the president’s phone call with new Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

In halting any appearances by State officials, and demanding that executive branch lawyers accompany them, Pompeo is underscoring the administration’s expansive view of the White House’s authority and setting the tone for conflicts to come.

When issuing a separate subpoena last week as part of the inquiry, the chairmen of three House committees made it clear that stonewalling their investigation would be considered obstruction of Congress in its investigation.

The panels are seeking documents from the State Department and voluntary testimony from the current and former officials.

“Your failure or refusal to comply with the subpoena shall constitute evidence of obstruction of the House’s impeachment inquiry,” wrote Engel and the other chairmen, Adam Schiff of the Intelligence Committee, and Elijah Cummings of the Oversight Committee.

The chairmen in their letter were seeking testimony over the next two weeks from officials including the former ambassador to Ukraine, Marie “Masha” Yovanovitch, and former special envoy Kurt Volker.

Volker played a direct role in arranging meetings between Rudy Giuliani, who is Trump’s person-

NSJ Staff RALEIGH — A recent state audit alleged that officials from the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services incurred expenses for travel and lodging expenses that exceeded what was allowed under state budget rules.

The state budget office later approved a waiver for what the department called a “unique business need” for top staff to be in Raleigh throughout the State Fair.

The investigative report, based on a call to Democrat State Auditor Beth Wood’s waste and abuse hotline, alleged that Republican Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler, his chief of staff and the fair manager incurred $22,000 in cumulative expenses for hotel rooms, meals and other travel costs while working at the state fair over several years. The agriculture agency countered that the expenses were justified based on business and safety needs.

Nearly all the expenses were incurred by the commissioner and the chief of staff over a five-year period that the audit examined through 2018. The current fair manager was hired early last year.

The audit said the state budget manual restricts overnight travel to destinations at least 35 miles away from an employee’s home or duty station, whichever is less. All three of them live at least 60 miles from Raleigh.

In a written response attached to the audit, Chief Deputy Commissioner David Smith said he signed off on the expenses because it’s critical that fair leaders

Tung says they’re trying to ask whether those factors are the result of long-term changes in how their cells are regulated and how their genome is regulated.

With the rhesus macaques, Tung describes ongoing experiments manipulating aspects of their social hierarchy to see if their bodies retain a memory of what happened to them in the past.

Tung also said that recent work includes meerkats in South Afri-

al lawyer, and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the chairmen said, as part of what is seen as a backchannel to Kyiv.

The Democrats also want to hear from T. Ulrich Brechbuhl, a counselor at the State Department, who also listened in on the Trump-Zelenskiy call, they said.

It’s unclear whether Pompeo will comply with the committees’ request for documents by Friday.

He had declined to comply with their previous requests for information.

Pompeo, traveling in Italy to meet with the country’s president and prime minister, ignored shouted question about the impeachment inquiry on Tuesday.

On Monday Democrats subpoenaed Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer, in their probe of the president’s phone call with the Ukrainian president. With Congress out of session for observance of the Jewish holidays, Democrats moved aggressively against Giuliani, requesting by Oct. 15 “text messages, phone records and other communications” that they referred to as possible evidence. They also requested documents and depositions from three of his business associates.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) swatted down talk that that the GOP-controlled Senate could dodge the matter of impeachment if the House approved charges against Trump.

“It’s a Senate rule related to impeachment, it would take 67 votes to change, so I would have no choice but to take it up,” McConnell said on CNBC. “How long you’re on it is a whole different matter.”

There are potential safety and security issues on site, and it would be dangerous for the leaders to drive back and forth from home on little sleep, he wrote.

“Department did and does consider hotel stays for these individuals to be necessary,” Smith wrote.

“Not only is this a decision based on a unique business need of the department, but it is most importantly based on safety.”

The audit, however, warned that such singlehanded decision-making “sets a precedent for other state agencies to also ignore whichever policy or regulation they choose, which could cause a great cost to the taxpayer.”

Auditors said they suggested that Troxler’s department ask the state budget director to grant a waiver to the lodging rule. State

Budget Director Charlie Perusse approved such a waiver last month, limiting it to a “few, critical employees” for the State Fair and Mountain State Fair held this month.

Auditors also provided data showing fair hotel stays by Troxler and Hedgecock exceeded the maximum allowable daily expenses for food and lodging expenses, with some hotel rates as high as $199 per night. Smith wrote the high costs of Raleigh hotels and security concerns for an elected official like Troxler prompted going over the maximum. Fair manager Kent Yelverton of Fremont stayed at a $70-per-night hotel last year, the audit said.

In an interview with the North State Journal, Troxler said the hotel selection was based primarily on security. Citing a previous incident where the windows in his state vehicle were knocked out,

Troxler said a new hotel was selected that offered additional security for state property and for his late-night arrivals and early departures. Troxler also said that he selected a full-service hotel that allowed for on-site food service since he often arrived after 11pm or left early due to fair commitments or emergencies.

The audit represents a dust-up between two statewide elected officials in Wood, a Democrat, and Troxler, a Republican. While both have wider latitude in running their respective departments than Cabinet agencies led by a governor’s appointee, they still are expected to follow budget regulations.

The North Carolina State Fair begins Thursday, Oct. 17 at the State Fairgrounds in Raleigh.

ca and how adoption of different social roles changes the way their cells are regulated. Tung added that she is working with colleagues at UNC and the University of Chicago on how some of her models might overlap with their work with social trauma in humans in challenging situations.

“We’re going to start doing some real comparative work to ask whether what we’re seeing in these in these sort of animal models looks like what happens in people like us who are in maybe analogous challenging situations,” Tung said.

Another MacArthur Fellow recipient from North Carolina this

year is Mel Chin, who the MacArthur Fellows program characterizes as a “category-defying artist.”

Chin’s art focuses on complex social and environmental issues in “collages, sculptural objects, animated films, and video games to large-scale, collaboratively produced public installations.”

There are three criteria for selection of McArthur Fellows: exceptional creativity, promise for important future advances based on a track record of significant accomplishments, and the potential for the Fellowship to facilitate subsequent creative work.

The McArthur Foundation’s in-

dependent selection committee does not accept unsolicited nominations, but instead selects nominees from a very broad range of fields chosen from a “constantly changing pool of invited external nominators.”

Nominees can be either residents or citizens of the United States and can’t be an elected official or hold an advanced position in government.

Since 1981, 1040 people have been named MacArthur Fellows, and recipients have included artists, social scientists, humanists, teachers, entrepreneurs, writers and scientists.

are scheduled on Wednesday and Thursday to depose Marie “Masha” Yovanovitch, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine who was removed by the Trump administration earlier this year, and Kurt Volker, who resigned last week as America’s Ukrainian envoy. Members of intelligence committee on Friday will interview Michael Atkinson, the inspector general for the intelligence community who first received the whistleblower’s complaint.

Democrats are driving the proceedings toward what some hope is a vote to impeach, or indict, Trump by year’s end. They have launched a coordinated messaging and polling strategy aimed at keeping any political backlash in closely-divided districts from toppling their House majority.

A new poll from Quinnipiac University shows 47% of registered voters say Trump should be impeached and removed from office, while 47% say he should not. In the CNN poll, 47% said Trump should be impeached and removed from office, up from 41% in May. Both polls showed dramatic partisan polarization remains on impeachment: most Democrats expressing support, the vast majority of Republicans opposed. The polls disagreed over whose opinions are changing — Quinnipiac showing increased impeachment support coming more from Democrats, CNN from Republicans.

Schiff said on Sunday that his intelligence panel would hear from the still-secret whistleblower “very soon” but that no date had been set and other details remained to be worked out.

Jonathan Lemire, Emily Swanson and Lisa Mascaro of The Associated Press contributed to this report.

“The developments within the Adult Corrections and Juvenile Justice in the last week have invited some serious probing questions, which I will make sure get asked,” Steinburg wrote. “Furthermore, Deputy Secretary Tim Moose has agreed to brief me on the temporary closings of these facilities.”

One of the facilities closed is in Steinburg’s district, in Hoke County, and another of the prisons is close by. He added that leaders at DPS have agreed to answer his questions publicly, saying, “Secretary Moose and senior staff at the Division of Adult Corrections have agreed to appear before the Senate Select Committee on Prison Safety so that other Senators may ask questions. That meeting will be announced as soon as we have a set date.”

The Sept. 30 scheduled meeting for the Senate Select Committee on Prison Safety was canceled, and Steinburg’s office said they were working on rescheduling it but did not have comment on whether it was related to Steinburg’s desire to have Moose answer questions on the closures in front of the committee.

The staff vacancy rate for correctional officers in August, cited in the DPS press release, is around 21%, which DPS says limits their ability to operate all of the facilities across the state at full strength. By consolidating efforts at fewer locations, DPS hopes to fill in the gaps without much disruption. They also said they would attempt to relocate employees in a way that would take into account the distance to their new assignments.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Detailed answers to why these three locations were chosen and how long they are expected to be shuttered are yet to come, but the suspensions will roll out over a period of months, beginning with Hoke Correctional.

Each facility will be evaluated six months after its suspension to determine whether it should remain closed or be reopened.

“Prison administration has researched the suspension of operations at select facilities to counter the effect of an increasing employee vacancy rate on facility safety and security,” Moose said in a release. “We will continue to explore all options to aid in reducing vacancy rates and keeping our employees and communities safe.”

Concern over prison safety has increased after several violent incidents at North Carolina correctional institutions in recent years, including the slaying of correctional officer Sgt. Meggan Lee Callahan, who was allegedly killed by a prisoner in 2017 at Bertie Correctional Institution in Windsor.

Steinburg’s Senate Select Committee on Prison Safety was formed this year in response to reports of high vacancies and low morale among correctional officers and how that may be tied to unsafe conditions in North Carolina’s prison facilities.

On Sept. 29, the Associated Press reported that Scott Whitmeyer, a 49-year-old inmate, was stabbed to death the previous night. The inmate was found killed in an inmate dormitory at Columbus Correctional Institution, a medium-security facility near Whiteville, according to the Dept. of Public Safety. The Columbus County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident.

Kansas AG: New policy for taxing online sales is invalid

By John Hanna The Associated Press TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas’ Republican attorney general declared Monday that Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly’s administration lacked the legal authority to impose what some experts see as the nation’s most aggressive policy for collecting state and local taxes on online sales.

Top Republicans in the GOP-controlled legislature called on Kelly to rescind the state Department of Revenue policy immediately after they received a legal opinion from Attorney General Derek Schmidt.

But the department’s top administrator, Secretary Mark Burghart, a veteran tax attorney himself, said in a statement that the department is obligated to follow its current course unless told otherwise by the courts. He maintained that that the agency is only trying to enforce existing Kansas tax laws in light of a U.S. Supreme Court decision last year allowing states to collect sales taxes on internet sales.

“The Department of Revenue cannot select which laws it enforces,” Burghart said.

The department issued a notice Aug. 1 saying any “remote seller” doing business with Kansas residents must register with the department, collect state and local sales taxes and forward the revenues to the state, starting Tuesday.

Most states now have policies to collect such taxes, but almost all set minimum annual sales or transaction thresholds to exempt small businesses, according to groups tracking tax laws. Tax experts said Kansas was the first to attempt to collect the taxes on online sales without exempting any businesses.

Diane Yetter, founder of the Sales Tax Institute in Chicago, said she has been advising clients

outside Kansas not to register with the state before Schmidt issued his legal opinion. In August, she called the department’s move “insane,” and she said Schmidt has “set it up for the taxpayer to win” a legal dispute with Kansas.

“I think the department would be remiss in not withdrawing the notice,” she said.

Schmidt said Kansas law does not give the department the authority to impose such a policy through a notice, without a public hearing or review by officials outside the department. He said

Judge issues mixed ruling in Va. abortion law challenge

By Denise Lavoie The Associated Press RICHMOND, Va. — A federal judge on Monday upheld a Virginia law requiring women to undergo an ultrasound and wait at least 24 hours before having an abortion, as well as the state’s “physician-only law” barring nurse practitioners and physician’s assistants from performing abortions.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson came in a lawsuit that challenged four Virginia laws that opponents say restrict access to abortion in the state.

Hudson overturned two state laws, including one requiring all second-trimester abortions to be performed at a licensed outpatient hospital and regulations that would have required clinics that provide first-trimester abortions to meet the same facility requirements as general and surgical hospitals.

The lawsuit was one of more than a dozen filed around the country challenging what pro-abortion groups call TRAP laws — Targeted Restrictions on Abortion Providers.

A trial in Richmond, the state capital, began in May as the abortion debate exploded nationwide. Several states had passed strict new laws limiting abortions, including Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Ohio and Kentucky.

Women’s reproductive rights groups that brought the lawsuit expressed disappointment with the mixed ruling.

“We’re disappointed that our patients did not get their constitutionally-protected right to accessing healthcare without legislative interference, which they are entitled to and they deserve,” said a statement from Rosemary Codding, the founder and director of the Falls Church Healthcare Center.

Amy Hagstrom Miller, president and chief executive officer of Whole Woman’s Health Alliance, said the group is pleased that the court relaxed state restrictions on second-trimester abortion care, but disappointed that the judge “did not see clearly how the other restrictions it left in force are not supported by medical evidence and place undue burdens on families (in) the Commonwealth.”

During the trial, the plaintiffs opted to have a judge decide the case instead of a jury. A lawyer for the women’s health groups argued that the regulations are overly restrictive and put up unnecessary barriers to women seeking abortions.

Dr. Mark Nichols, an obstetrician/gynecologist who worked for years as the medical director of a Planned Parenthood chapter in Oregon, testified that the laws being challenged in Virginia add layers of regulation that are not medically necessary.

The state, however, argued that the laws have made abortion clinics safer and have not placed an undue burden on women seeking abortions.

“Inconvenience is not an unconstitutional burden,” said Emily Munro Scott, an attorney representing the state.

In his ruling upholding Virginia’s physician-only law, Hudson cited a long line of U.S. Supreme Court rulings upholding the right of states to determine what medical procedures should be performed by physicians.

He said the evidence presented during the trial “has not shown that such a restriction has caused an undue burden on a significant number of women seeking abortion care.”

“Therefore, the Court cannot conclude that the Physician-Only law, as it applies to first trimester abortion procedures, is unconstitutional,” Hudson wrote. “Whether it is wise public policy is an issue for the Virginia General Assembly to address.”

In upholding the state’s “informed consent law,” Hudson said the main challenge from pro-abortion groups was the law’s requirement that a woman receive an ultrasound at least 24 hours before getting an abortion. The groups referred to the requirement as the “two-trip mandatory delay law” because it requires women to make two trips to a clinic, one for the ultrasound and a second for the abortion procedure.

Hudson, while acknowledging that the law “poses additional burdens, particularly with respect to poor and low-income individuals,” said the evidence “is insufficient for the Court to conclude that it amounts to a substantial obstacle to abortion access.”

the policy “has not been lawfully adopted and is invalid.”

“The last thing Kansans want is to be on the hook for more costly lawsuits,” Kansas House Speaker Ron Ryckman Jr., a Kansas City-area Republican, said in a statement calling on Kelly to cancel “what appears to be an unlawful tax mandate.”

It’s the second time within three months that Schmidt has questioned a Kelly administration policy. In July, he threatened to go to court to block a Department for Children and

Families policy allowing several thousand adults to keep receiving food assistance after failing to meet a work requirement.

Kelly dropped the policy the next day.

State officials have felt some pressure to collect more taxes from online sales to prevent Kansas businesses from facing a competitive disadvantage. The Department of Revenue has estimated that the state would collect between $20 million and $40 million a year in additional tax revenues, and Burghart said

about 600 out-of-state businesses have registered with Kansas since Aug. 1.

Legislators included provisions on taxing Internet sales in two GOP tax-cutting bills this year, but Kelly vetoed both measures, saying they would destabilize the state’s finances.

The Department of Revenue imposed its policy under an existing tax law that applied to outof-state businesses but wasn’t enforced because court decisions had prevented it. Its officials argued that it was trying to enforce existing tax laws fairly and consistently, without overstepping its legal authority by exempting some business and not others.

“The notice does not reflect a change in policy, but only restates long-established statutory provisions regarding the duty to collect and remit Kansas taxes,” Burghart said.

The U.S. Supreme Court last year overturned a previous ruling that states could not collect their sales taxes unless a business had a physical presence within their borders. It upheld a South Dakota law requiring businesses to collect its taxes if they had $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions in the state within a year.

Schmidt said it’s “reasonable to conclude” that some threshold is required for a state to avoid violating the U.S. Constitution by burdening interstate commerce too much.

“You still have to have substantial activities,” Yetter said.

But Schmidt focused his opinion more on the technical question of whether the Department of Revenue can set policy with a notice and concluded it could not. If the agency had tried to issue a formal administrative rule, it would have been required to have a public hearing and outside agencies, including Schmidt’s office, would have reviewed the proposed policy.

RALEIGH — New North Carolina laws taking effect in October are designed to keep Uber and Lyft passengers safe, protect girls from sexual abuse and help people enter stateregulated trades.

All or parts of nearly 40 pieces of legislation the General Assembly approved this year took effect on Tuesday. Included in the slate of new legislation is also a provision that allows volunteer firefighters with five consecutive years of service to purchase a lifetime hunting and fishing license for half price.

Another law adds new requirements for ride-sharing drivers. Now they must display license tag numbers at the front of their vehicles so consumers can match them easier with what’s on their smartphones.

The Passenger Protection Act was sponsored by House Majority Leader John Bell (R-Wayne) and passed both the House and Senate unanimously. Bell said that he hopes the bill “will improve ridesharing safety and hopefully serve as a national model for other states.”

Bell said the impetus of the bill was the murder of University of South Carolina student Samantha Josephson by someone impersonating her Uber driver.

Man confesses to killing ex-wife on Facebook Live, later shoots self

Contaminated oysters suspected in N Carolina man’s death

Warren County Earl Valentine was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, a few hours after he confessed to killing his ex-wife in a Facebook Live video.

Valentine kicked in the door of Keisha Valentine’s house in Norlina, shooting her and their 15-year-old son. The boy was killed, while she suffered critical injuries. Valentine later said on Facebook he had “no remorse” and “she had it coming.” Authorities found his body in a motel in Columbia, SC.

New Hanover County Officials are investigating whether tainted oysters led to the death of a Cary man. David Argay died Thursday after visiting coastal Wilmington.

State health and seafood officials said his death by vibriosis was caused by bacteria which can be in raw or undercooked shellfish or which can enter the body through an open wound.

Details haven’t been released about the origin of the oysters and any restaurant where Argay ate.

Wayne County The State Water Infrastructure Authority approved $200,000 for the town of Eureka to upgrade its aging sewer system, one day after Gov. Roy Cooper signed legislation allowing public water systems to receive emergency operating funds. The authority held an emergency meeting Wednesday to sign off on Eureka funding so that the payment could be processed in early October. The town of 200 people needs long-term upgrades to its deteriorating sewers.

Greensboro hospital reports state’s 1st vaping death

Yancey County Mel Chin, 67, an artist from Egypt Township, was one of 26 people who received a MacArthur genius grant.

The grant comes with an award of $625,000 over five years to be used as the recipient pleases. Chin’s 3-D visual art calls attention to complex social and environmental issues. Jenny Tung, a 37-year-old evolutionary anthropologist and geneticist at Duke, also received a genius grant for her work linking social environmental factors with health, wellbeing, and longevity.

Guilford County Greensboro’s Moses Cone Hospital reported the state’s first death linked to vaping. The death occurred on Wednesday, but the hospital is not releasing any additional details. The N.C. Department of Health and Human Services is investigating. The hospital has had eight cases of vaping-related illness since August, including the unidentified person who died. Last week, Cone Health confirmed it had treated at least six patients with a severe lung illness associated with electronic-cigarette use.

Marker honors longest-serving NC secretary of state Eure

Interim East Carolina University chancellor placed on leave Pitt County The interim chancellor of East Carolina University is on administrative leave after photos were published of him at a bar with students. University of North Carolina Interim President Bill Roper said Monday in a statement that Dan Gerlach was placed on leave “in light of reports from this past weekend.”

Gerlach went to a local pub with two adult male acquaintances on Sept. 25.

Videos and photos shared on social media show him “interacting with college-aged young adults and taking selfies.”

Gates County One of North Carolina’s most colorful politicians of the 20th century is being remembered with an official historical marker along a road near where he grew up. The Department of Natural and Cultural Resources planned a ceremony for Saturday to unveil the permanent placard, located near Gatesville, honoring Secretary of State Thad Eure. Eure was the nation’s longest-serving elected official in statewide public office as secretary of state, holding the post for more than 50 years until 1989. He died in 1993 at age 93.

Several new provisions related to alcoholic beverages and the Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission also took effect on Oct. 1. Senate Bill 290, the ABC Regulatory Reform Bill, passed July 19 with bipartisan support in the General Assembly. The bill’s most notable change to existing law allows distilleries in the state to sell beer, wine and liquor for consumption on-site. Distilleries were tightly regulated before in a way that breweries and wineries, who often have bars attached, were not.

Several provisions from that bill came into effect Tuesday, including a requirement that local ABC boards must accept electronic payments for liquor from restaurants and other commercial purchasers. Another provision taking effect allows breweries to sell their own beverages for on- or off-site consumption regardless of the local malt beverage rules.

Twenty-three other provisions have effective dates of Dec. 1, 2019.

Can Republicans win back the African American vote?

Where would I have met a white Republican to talk to about political philosophy anywhere along the way?

YOU MIGHT be scratching your head and asking: “When did the GOP ever have the African American vote to begin with?”

The Republican Party has been joined at the hip of African American freedom since before the Civil War. The same strands of philosophical belief that underpinned Republican belief then — freedom, equality, individual responsibility and opportunity for everyone in a vibrant free-market economy — underpin the Republican Party today in clear contradistinction to the freedom-crushing socialist policies of the modern Democrat Party.

Young African Americans are unaware of the close historical tie between the Republican Party and the first civil rights movement in America for many of their ancestors. They have been taught and told that Republicans support only old rich white men and big business and could care less about justice and equal rights under the law.

A young African American student said I was the first white Republican she had ever met and talked to in-depth. She was 21 years old at the time. “I grew up in a little rural town in eastern North Carolina. I went to an almost all-black high school in Wilmington, and I am about to graduate from North Carolina A&T University.

Where would I have met a white Republican to talk to about political philosophy anywhere along the way, Mr. Hill?”

Had there been no Republican Party running the country after the Civil War, Southern Democrats never would have allowed even the brief decade or so of freedom and enfranchisement for former slaves during the 19th century.

Republicans in Congress passed the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery in 1865; the 14th Amendment, which granted full citizenship rights and protections to 4 million former slaves; and the 15th Amendment, which prevented states from denying voting rights for black citizens.

A Republican Congress overrode President Andrew Johnson’s veto of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 which eradicated laws in the South that prevented blacks from owning property, making contracts and filing lawsuits.

Former Union general and two-term Republican President Ulysses S.

Grant was so committed to protecting the freedom of the former slaves he sent federal troops into states such as Louisiana and Mississippi to annihilate white supremacy groups like the KKK, White Line and White League that were not only suppressing the black vote but killing thousands of innocent citizens in the process.

Once black voters were protected at the voting booth, more than 2,000 black men were elected to serve in public elective office across the South during Reconstruction, every one of them Republican. More than 600 were elected to state legislatures. Two black U.S. senators were sent from Mississippi; 16 black congressmen were elected from other states.

Back then, Republicans could count on nearly every Southern black vote in every election and received most of the black vote until 1936.

Republicans running for president today are lucky to get 5% of the black vote.

If a Republican presidential candidate could ever garner the support of 18-20% of African American voters nationwide — 6% more than Bob Dole received in 1996 — it would be impossible for a Democrat candidate to win the White House in 2020 or any year thereafter.

Younger African Americans are not as monolithically Democrat as their parents and grandparents; 15% of black voters are registered unaffiliated, most of whom are under the age of 40. They can see the failure of massive government programs, albeit well-intentioned, to help many in the African American community as well as anyone.

As a senior black Republican adviser has said, “African American voters have to like Republicans first before they will listen to any of their policies or targeted political messages. Who will be those Republicans?”

Perhaps a look back into the intertwined history of the Republican Party and African Americans will give common ground to begin those friendships and discussions. Times change and so do political preferences; nothing stays the same forever when it comes to politics in America.

Elections, not impeachment, are supposed to decide who our presidents are

It’s voters who should decide.

IMPEACHMENT FEVER is once again sweeping Washington, D.C., as House Democrats under the leadership of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, I mean Nancy Pelosi, believe this time around they’ve got the goods to take down President Donald Trump.

The latest round of impeachment-palooza centers around a whistleblower complaint regarding a July phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

We were told by Democrats in advance of Trump releasing a transcript of the call that he had mentioned former Vice President Joe Biden eight different times on the call, specifically related to Biden’s influence in the firing of a Ukrainian prosecutor who just happened to be investigating a company of which Biden’s son Hunter happened to be on the board of directors.

“Manufacture evidence,” Democrats said Trump told Zelensky.

It was actually three times Biden was mentioned, and it only happened after Zelensky brought up Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani, who has been trying for months to get more information on the Biden/Ukrainian prosecutor issue.

There was no request to “manufacture evidence.”

We were told quid pro quo was committed on the call, that Trump had told Zelensky that aid to his country would be withheld unless he could deliver the goods on 2020 Democratic presidential frontrunner Biden and his admitted involvement in having the prosecutor fired — which Biden is on video bragging about in 2018.

There was no quid pro quo on the call.

We were told in the whistleblower’s complaint that the White House had tried to hide the call by moving the transcript of it to a highly classified computer server. As it turns out, this has been standard operating procedure for the White House since mid-2017 after call transcripts between Trump and leaders from Mexico and Australia were leaked to the press.

But much like the Mueller investigation, in the scheme of things the truth about what happened on the call and the White House’s alleged

actions in the immediate aftermath of the call were irrelevant to Democrats anyway.

Pelosi gave her public blessing for a formal impeachment inquiry last Tuesday. This in spite of the fact that she had not seen the transcript of the call and was basing her opinion on second-hand media reporting of what was allegedly said in the call and in the whistleblower complaint — a complaint that itself was based on second- and third-hand information.

Democrats have made it clear over the last 2½ years regardless of the facts that they were going to impeach Trump one way or another as a way of revenge for losing the 2016 election.

Barely two weeks after Trump was inaugurated, Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters brought up the possibility of impeachment in media interviews. Her rationale at the time was political disagreement, not any allegations of anything impeachable.

Democratic Rep. Al Green soon followed, first calling for Trump’s impeachment in May 2017 in a speech delivered on the House floor.

In light of Pelosi’s actions last Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell issued a strongly worded statement of denunciation, saying “Washington Democrats have been searching for ways to reverse their 2016 election defeat since before President Trump was even inaugurated.”

Democrats, he stated, were using impeachment as a weapon in ongoing attempts at “relitigating” the 2016 election.

House GOP Minority Whip Steve Scalise noted over the weekend some things that Democrats don’t want to hear. Impeaching a president so he can’t be reelected is not how the process is supposed to work, he said in an interview with NBC News’ Chuck Todd.

It’s voters who should decide. “We’ve got an election next year to deal with that,” Scalise pointed out.

Indeed.

70 years ago Mao Zedong declared the creation of the People’s Republic of China

SEVENTY YEARS ago today, on October 1, 1949, “Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong declared the creation of the People’s Republic of China (PRC).”

With that declaration, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) effectively ended a bitter civil war and defeated the Nationalist

Party. In the United States, the question of who should be charged with “facilitating the ‘loss’ of China to communism” became a major political issue. “The ‘fall’ of mainland China to communism in 1949 led the United States to suspend diplomatic ties with the PRC for decades.”

GUEST OPINION | KENNETH I. MOCH

Scientists can beat Alzheimer’s The cumulative estimated cost of developing a new Alzheimer’s drug is nearly $6 billion — twice the cost of developing the average drug.

MORE THAN 120,000 Americans will lose their battle to Alzheimer’s disease this year. This debilitating condition is the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death.

Nationwide, someone in the United States develops Alzheimer’s disease every 65 seconds. Nearly 6 million Americans currently live with this devastating condition. By 2050, that number could skyrocket to nearly 14 million, costing the country well over $1 trillion annually.

To avoid this societal tsunami, we need to find a cure for Alzheimer’s. Unfortunately, our leaders in Washington are considering policies that would make it nearly impossible for scientists to develop such treatments.

The path to discovering the next Alzheimer’s breakthrough is paved with peril. Innovative companies of all sizes have tried, but not one of nearly 90 programs launched over the past 15 years has succeeded. The cumulative estimated cost of developing a new Alzheimer’s drug is nearly $6 billion — twice the cost of developing the average drug.

Despite these astronomical costs and disheartening odds, many are striving to conquer this disease.

For example, my team at Cognition Therapeutics, a clinical-stage neuroscience company in Pennsylvania, is working on a novel approach to protecting and restoring synapses — the brain’s electrical circuitry — in Alzheimer’s disease.

There are approximately 70 clinical-stage Alzheimer’s research programs underway. These trials seek to stop, prevent or slow the progression of the disease. Small biotech companies like mine account for almost 80 percent of these programs.

Several government proposals threaten to stifle these advances.

The Trump administration wants to tie Medicare reimbursements for certain drugs to the reimbursement rates in other developed countries, where government officials use price controls to keep drug costs artificially low.

Meanwhile, some in Congress want to overhaul

how Medicare pays for drugs. Right now, Medicare drug prices are set through negotiations between drugmakers and insurance companies. These intense negotiations work extremely well in driving down costs for patients and taxpayers. It’s why the Medicare prescription drug program is so popular with seniors and has come in under budget.

However, under a proposal popular on Capitol Hill, the secretary of Health and Human Services would be empowered to directly negotiate the price for hundreds of drugs. The federal government would likely set prices well below a drug’s fair market value, and its decisions would be final and legally binding.

These policies would prove disastrous for Alzheimer’s researchers, who already struggle to attract funding for their projects. From 2008 to 2017, U.S. biotech startups that research Alzheimer’s drummed up just a sixteenth as much venture capital funding as startups researching cancer, even though Alzheimer’s currently costs our health care system more than twice as much as cancer.

It’s important to ensure that medicines are affordable. But there won’t be any breakthrough medicines if we adopt policies that dissuade investors from funding risky research projects.

Brilliant scientists are working tirelessly to deliver new treatments to patients in need. Painting these innovators as villains may be good politics, but it hinders their ability to save and improve lives.

We also can never lose sight of the needs of our family and friends who are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease — or will in the years to come. There are millions of people who, like me, have watched as the essence of a loved one slips away.

We are on the cusp of medical breakthroughs that will benefit current and future generations — as long as our leaders don’t discourage scientists and investors from tackling the world’s most devastating and debilitating diseases.

Dr. William Burke goes over a PET brain scan Tuesday, Aug. 14, 2018 at Banner Alzheimers Institute in Phoenix.

DURING MY STUDENT DAYS at a UCLA economics department faculty/graduate student coffee hour in the 1960s, I was chatting with Professor Armen Alchian, probably the greatest microeconomic theory economist of the 20th century. I was trying to impress Alchian with my knowledge of statistical type I and type II errors. I explained that unlike my wife, who assumed that everyone was her friend until they prove differently, my assumption was everyone was an enemy until they proved otherwise.

The result: My wife’s vision maximized the number of her friends but maximized her chances of betrayal.

My vision minimized my chances of betrayal at a cost of minimizing the number of my friends.

Alchian, donning a mischievous smile asked, “Williams, have you considered a third alternative, namely, that people don’t give a damn about you one way or another?” Initially, I felt a bit insulted, and our conversation didn’t go much further, but that was typical of Alchian — saying something profound, perhaps controversial, without much comment and letting you think it out.

Years later, I gave Alchian’s third alternative considerable thought and concluded that he was right. The most reliable assumption, in terms of the conduct of one’s life, is to assume that people don’t care about you one way or another. It’s an error to generalize that people are friends or enemies, or that people are out to either help you or hurt you. To put it more crudely, as Alchian did, people don’t give a damn about you one way or another.

Let’s apply this argument to issues of race. Listening to some people, one might think that white people are engaged in an ongoing secret conspiracy to undermine the achievement and well-being of black people. Their evidence is low black academic achievement and high rates of black poverty, unemployment and incarceration. For some, racism is the root cause of most black problems including the unprecedentedly high black illegitimacy rate and family breakdown.

Are white people obsessed with and engaged in a conspiracy against black people? Here’s an experiment. Walk up to the average white person and ask, “How many minutes today have you been thinking about black people?”

If the person isn’t a Klansman or a gushing do-gooder liberal, his answer would probably be zero minutes.

If you asked him whether he’s a part of a conspiracy to undermine the achievement and well-being of black people, he’d probably look at you as if you were crazy. By the same token, if a person asked me: “Williams, how many minutes today have you been thinking about white people?” My answer would probably be, “Not even a nanosecond.” Because people don’t care about you one way or another doesn’t mean they wish you good will, ill will or no will.

They just don’t give a damn.

What are the implications of the people-don’t-care vision of how the world works? A major implication is that one’s destiny, for the most part, is in one’s hands. How you make it in this world depends more on what you do as opposed to whether people like or dislike you. Black politicians, civil rights leaders and white liberals have peddled victimhood to black people, teaching them that racism is pervasive and no amount of individual effort can overcome racist barriers.

Peddling victimhood is not new.

Booker T. Washington said: “There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

In an 1865 speech to the AntiSlavery Society in Boston, abolitionist Frederick Douglass said that people ask: “‘What shall we do with the Negro?’ I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us!”

Or as Patrick Moynihan urged a century later in a 1970 memo to President Richard Nixon, “The time may have come when the issue of race could benefit from a period of ‘benign neglect.’”

NC State’s Funderburk suspended for team-policy violation Raleigh NC State has suspended forward DJ Funderburk for a violation of team policy.

The team announced the suspension Monday night in a statement. It didn’t specify the nature of the violation and said only that the suspension was for an indefinite period. The redshirt junior averaged 8.8 points and 4.2 rebounds while shooting 55% off the bench last season.

DURHAM — Being a walk-on at Duke is never easy, but Michael Savarino has one more thing to remember than most players who have been in that role.

“It’s Coach,” he says. “Not Grandpa.”

Savarino is the son of one of coach Mike Krzyzewski’s daughters, making player and coach the first grandfather-grandson tandem in college in recent memory.

It’s been an adjustment for both of them.

“We measure a bunch of things every practice,” Krzyzewski said.

“Workload, sprinting speed, distances. We have this system where I get a report every day. Last week, I was looking at the report and Wendell (Moore, a Duke freshman) was just off the charts. I showed it to Mickie.”

That would be Mickie Krzyzewski, Coach K’s wife.

“I said, ‘Look. Wendell is developing the habit of playing faster.’

So, she’s looking at it, and she says, ‘Where’s Michael?’”

Krzyzewski said, “He didn’t play.

He’s a walk-on.”

“It’s the first time a grandmother has given me a hard time about playing time,” he said. “Now I’m worried. She’s never looked at those things. I’m waiting for, ‘Where’s the report? He only did this?’ The mother so far has been OK, but we haven’t played any games.”

Savarino, who has grown up around Krzyzewski and Duke, isn’t

likely to be intimidated by the Hall of Fame coach. In fact, he’s probably heard all of Coach K’s lines.

“Lines? No,” he says. “I’ve heard all of his curse words. He’s such a witty guy. I know I haven’t heard all of his lines. He always has something great to say to encourage these guys…”

Savarino has to stop and catch himself. They aren’t “these guys” anymore. He’s one of them. “… the team,” he continues, “to do better things.”

Krzyzewski is infamous for doing some rather un-grandfatherly things when he gets upset with his team during games or practices. Savarino is looking forward to seeing that up close.

“He has not done anything to surprise me yet,” he says. “I think I’ve seen it all. Maybe there’ll be a broken clipboard or throwing markers.

Something like that. I don’t know.

I’m ready to see that.”

Despite the family connections, Savarino has earned his spot on the Blue Devils.

“It’s been great,” Krzyzewski says, “because he’s not on the team because he’s my grandson. He’d be a pretty good Division II player, but he wanted to come to Duke, and he could get in. He knows everything.

He knows the lay of the land.”

“He’s a tough kid,” Coach K continues. “We do combine testing like the NBA does, a couple times a year.

One of the things is the 185 bench press — how many times you can do that. Maybe it says something about the strength of our team, but he did the most. He did 10 of them.”

Toss in that owner Tom Dundon has allowed GM Don Waddell to spend to the cap, and the Hurricanes look like a force to be reckoned with this season and beyond.

Only one everyday player is older than 30, and the team’s top-five returning scorers are 26 or younger. That said, the Hurricanes did lose its inspirational leader, captain Justin Williams, to hockey purgatory — the soon-to-be-38-year-old did not officially retire but has stepped away from the NHL to start the season — and Justin Faulk, an alternate captain last season, was traded during training camp.

So the Hurricanes will need its new leadership group to step up and try to replicate the family atmosphere and fun that helped the 2018-19 team return to the postseason and become a league-wide sensation. They do it with a roster that has seven players who were not in the opening night lineup a year ago.

The puck drops on the 82-game season Thursday when Carolina hosts Montreal at PNC Arena.

Goalies Petr Mrazek, James Reimer Mrazek returns on a new two-year deal after splitting time last season with Curtis McElhinney, who signed with Tampa Bay in the offseason.

Mrazek went 23-14-3 with a .914 save percentage and 2.39 goals-against average in 40 games for Carolina last season, then helped the Hurricanes reach the Eastern Conference Final with a 5-5 record that included two shutouts.

Reimer struggled in his third season with the Panthers, finishing with a .900 save percentage and 3.09 goals-against average while going 13-12‑5.

That proved reason enough for Florida to move on from the goalie they had groomed to replace Roberto Luongo, who retired after the 2018-19 season and was instead replaced by big-ticket free agent Sergei Bobrovsky. The Panthers traded Reimer — who still has two years remaining on his contract and carries a $3.4 million cap hit — to Carolina for Scott Darling and subsequently bought out the failed Hurricanes starter.

Reimer, at least for now, won the backup job over Anton Forsberg and Alex Nedeljkovic, but it will be Mrazek who is expected to carry the bulk of the load this season. The 27-year-old Czech played a career-high 49 regular season games in 2015-16 with Detroit, and the Hurricanes will likely need at least See HURRICANES, page B4

Brown hopes Heels learn from heartbreaker North Carolina came up one play short of knocking off defending champion Clemson in Chapel Hill

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal RARELY HAS A loss represented such a major victory for a college football program as did North Carolina’ 21-20 setback to defending national champion Clemson on Saturday.

“I think everything came out of Saturday good,” coach Mack Brown said at his regular weekly press conference Monday, “except we lost by one point.”

Brown’s Tar Heels were a 27-point underdog against the Tigers and were in danger of losing the last remnants of momentum gained from their unexpected 2-0 start before battling the then-No. 1 team in the nation down to literally one final play.

But for all UNC gained from the valiant effort, witnessed by a national television audience and sellout crowd at Kenan Stadium, it was still just a third straight loss. That makes this week’s game at Georgia Tech, in which the Tar Heels go from facing the ACC’s best team to its worst, the most pivotal Brown’s team has played to date.

“I think the thing that you look at is, if we lay down and don’t play after this, then we didn’t learn,” Brown said. “If we use it again to continue to grow and build, then we really learned something. It did send a message to our fanbase that we’re headed in the right direction. It did send a message to recruits that, if we can get Clemson down to one play, we’re going to be good in the future, so you’d better jump on now because this train is taking off.”

The biggest potential obstacle standing in the way of that journey, at least in the short term, is a Georgia Tech team in the earliest stages of a complete rebuild.

UNC coach Mack Brown liked everything about the Tar Heels’ performance Saturday against Clemson — except for the final score.

The Yellow Jackets are off to a rocky 1-3 start under new coach Geoff Collins after losing to The Citadel on Sept. 14 and mustering only a safety in a 24-2 loss to Temple last Saturday. They present the perfect opportunity for UNC to get back on the right track and take another step toward bowl eligibility.

But only if the Tar Heels (2-3, 1-1 ACC) don’t fall into the trap of playing down to the level of their competition, especially after playing at such a high level the week before.

“I’d like to see our team win, period,” Brown said. “We have to be us, and we have to play with passion to have a chance to win.”

There was certainly enough passion to go around at Kenan last Saturday, when Brown’s team went toe-to-toe with an elite op-

ponent in the midst of a 20-game winning streak.

UNC stayed within striking distance with a defensive effort that held Clemson scoreless on nine of 12 possessions while limiting the Tigers to a season-worst 331 total yards and their lowest point total since 2017.

Freshman quarterback Sam Howell, as is rapidly becoming his trademark, then put together another clutch fourth-quarter drive — an epic 16-play, 75-play march that lasted more than 8½ minutes before Javonte Williams dove into the end zone to set up a dramatic finish.

“We did enough to win, but listen, I thought they outplayed us,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said afterward. “I thought they out-coached us, simple as that.

We were really fortunate to win

the game. At the end of the day, you need one more point to win and we came away with the victory.”

That one-point margin came about because Swinney’s coaching counterpart decided to go for the two-point conversion and the win with just over a minute remaining in regulation than taking his chances in overtime.

Even though Howell was stopped short of the goal line as he ran the option on the decisive two-point try, Brown said his decision to roll the dice rather than playing it safe was the right thing to do under the circumstances.

“Two-point play, absolutely, 100 percent go for it again,” Brown said. “We had three to five guys out on defense. We were trying to get the clock down under a minute and they only had one

Durham teen golfer gets taste of the pros Clayson Good played at the PGA Tour Champions event at Pebble Beach last weekend

By Brett Friedlander North State Journal AS ONE OF 78 junior golfers nationwide chosen to participate in last weekend’s PGA Tour Champions event in Monterey Peninsula, California, Clayson Good got a rare opportunity to experience what it’s like to play in a professional event.

The good, the bad and the windy.

Paired with pro Doug Barron, the 17-year-old high school senior from Durham made his share of birdies during the first two rounds of the PURE Insurance Championship Impacting the First Tee. He also got show off his personality to a national television audience while seeing first-hand the worth ethic it takes to play compete at the highest level.

At the same time, he learned how difficult playing golf for a living can be — especially when Mother Nature decides to transform a picturesque golf cathedral like Pebble Beach into a raging wind tunnel.

“My main takeaway from playing with a golf professional in a tournament setting like the PURE Championship is that professional golfers have good and bad shots,” Good said. “It’s really how they respond to those shots. I saw pros, Doug included, that had shots they didn’t like, but were still able to par a hole. They stayed relaxed and in the moment. That’s a good reminder to me to do the same when I’m on the course.”

An all-conference performer for Jordan High School who plans to play for and attend Queens University in Charlotte next year, Good earned his spot in the best ball team event by going through a rigorous screening process sponsored

by First Tee — a national organization designed to promote junior golf.

He learned of his selection in July after playing in the final round of the North & South Junior Championship at Pinehurst.

“I watched on my phone as I warmed up until my tee time,” Good said. “They hadn’t announced the Southeast participants yet. I played the entire round not knowing if I was selected or not. After my round, my fami-

Everyone was excited for me and I couldn’t believe I was going to play Pebble Beach with the pros. It was so exciting.”

Paired with Barron, a 50-yearold “rookie” on the Champions tour, Good got off to a promising start Friday in the opening round at Poppy Hills Golf Course, nearly making a hole-in-one on his way to a four-birdie round.

Walking off the course excited about the way he played, Good was ready to sit back and savor the experience. But as he quickly learned, that’s not what professionals do when there’s still more golf to be played.

“After our first tournament round, Doug and I had lunch together along with my dad,” the youngster said. “He asked what I was doing after lunch. He was going to practice. I thought I might rest more but didn’t want to be out-hustled.

“Doug really help me with my chipping and gave me some suggestions during our practice time.

It meant a lot to me for him to take the time to do that.”

Good got even more of a golf education the next afternoon at Pebble Beach, when wind gusts off the Pacific Ocean turned the round

into a battle for survival. It was a battle he and Barron lost when they missed final round cut by two strokes.

“The course conditions at Pebble on Saturday were challenging,” Good said. “The 25-mph winds coming off the ocean were no joke.

I needed to have played better at Poppy Hills the previous day to go low and make the cut. Missing the cut was hard, but it won’t be the last time I miss one. Pros still miss cuts sometimes.”

As difficult as Saturday’s blustery round was, Good did have at least one shining moment.

It came on the seventh hole in the form of a birdie putt that was shown to a national television audience via Golf Channel and seen by a multitude of family members and friends back home in North Carolina.

“After I was on TV making my birdie putt on Hole 7 at Pebble, I got lots of texts later in the day,” he said. “I had my hat on backwards, shirt half untucked. The wind was so crazy I could barely keep my clothes on. I pointed to the camera after my birdie putt and my family and friends thought that was funny. I wanted to make my mark and show my passion for the game.”

Barron, who scored his first

Champions victory at an event in Endicott, New York, in August, was impressed with the way Good handled himself on the course during the tournament.

“He’s obviously got great parents because his social skills were phenomenal,” Barron said. “He was very enjoyable to hang out with.

I’ve got an 18-year-old son and a 13-year-old son and, honestly, he reminded me a lot of my sons. He’s very good with adults, not intimidated at all. He’s a very confident young man and we had a great time.

“The only thing I felt bad about is that we didn’t make the cut. I tried my heart out coming in. He played great. We both played pretty well. The weather was crazy the second day. But he had a great experience, I hope.”

It was a weekend Good said will serve as inspiration as he prepares to take the next step in his golf career.

“To stand on the same tee boxes, walk on the same fairways, and putt on the same greens as legends of the game, it is just priceless,” he said. “To be able to play with Champion Tour pros and see how they handle the stress of playing at that level, it really helps put my game in perspective.”

timeout left, so we thought our best advantage was take one play to win, and then try to hold them from a field goal.

“The play that we ran was zone read. You’ve got an opportunity to hand it to Javonte Williams. You’ve got an opportunity for your quarterback to keep it, or you’ve got an opportunity to pitch it to Dazz Newsome. All three really good players. When a play call doesn’t work, the play-caller gets criticized.”

And there was plenty of criticism to go around.

“Even my 8-year-old grandson said, ‘Why that play, pops?’”

Brown said. “I said, ‘OK Tyler, let it go bud.’ But even he said it. But you can only run about four plays down there. … That was one of them we had picked and it didn’t work.”

DUKE from page B1 one reported to campus. Krzyzewski was quick to point out that several players are doing more than that now.

Having the coach’s grandson in the locker room could also present another type of problem: Do players worry about watching their tongue around Savarino, knowing that any complaints might make their way back to Krzyzewski.

“I think I’ve got the guys’ trust,” Savarino says. “They definitely trust me. I think that was originally the case. They were a little timid toward me, but I expected that. All the guys have opened up to me. They aren’t worried about me saying something to Coach — not that that’s something I would do.”

Krzyzewski and Savarino set that ground rule before he joined the team.

“He and I established that whatever’s said in that locker room stays in that locker room,” Savarino says. “He and I can have a private conversation about things that weren’t said in the locker room.”

“He’s been accepted by his teammates as Michael … or Mike … or whatever the hell they call him,” Krzyzewski says.

“Knucklehead, probably, sometimes.”

Often, a coach’s son — or grandson — ends up getting treated more harshly than the other players, to make sure there are no charges of favoritism.

“Absolutely not,” Savarino says. “He treats me like a normal player. I hope he does that (is tougher on him). We’ll see if that happens.”

Other than the occasional question about playing time, Savarino hasn’t heard from his grandmother or mother about tips on how to deal with Krzyzewski.

“No pointers,” he says. “I don’t know what they can give me. I got some pointers from the team on how to act in practice, how to be involved, how to do extra things. But not from my mom or my grandma. They just give me encouraging words like, ‘Keep working hard.’”

It’s an unusual situation, but both Krzyzewski and Savarino seem determined to make it work.

“It’s gonna be a blessing, honestly,” Savarino said. “It’s gonna be a really great experience.

Hopefully, I get him a couple more years after that, too.”

Duke, running back Brown considering season-ending surgery

Carolina linebacker Mario Addison and the Panthers defense have tried to forge a new identity this season with the departures franchise icons Thomas Davis and Julius Peppers.

Panthers defense looks to find bond Road games have helped unfamiliar players begin to mesh

By Shawn Krest North State Journal SOMETIMES, THE best way to come together is to leave.

The Carolina Panthers defense has seen several longtime contributors leave over the past two years.

This season is the team’s first in a long time without linebacker Thomas Davis and defensive end Julius Peppers. A year earlier, the Panthers saw linemen Star Lotulelei and Charles Johnson depart.

That foursome combined for 373 Panther games played and 322 starts. It’s a lot of experience to lose, basically all at once, from the front seven.

“It’s a new group,” coach Ron Rivera said. “We’ve had a lot of transition over the last two seasons in what used to be a very steady, very familiar locker room. These guys have got to get to know each other all over again.”

While the need for teamwork is well known on the offensive line, it’s also important for a defensive line to have time together.

“You’re just starting to see it come together,” Rivera said.

“These guys are learning to work together. It’s not one of those things where you just plug and play.”

“Watch the way Mario (Addison) and Bruce Irvin had a natural feel for each other,” Rivera continued. “That’s two veteran guys who have done this a long time.

They seem to combine very nicely.

It’s a good combination in terms of their rush.”

It doesn’t just happen, and with so many new parts on the front seven and the team’s ongoing transition in scheme from 4-3 to 3-4, it’s been slower to take place this season.

The transition will be slowed even further with another longtime veteran bowing out. The Panthers placed KK Short on the injured reserve on Tuesday, ending the defensive tackle’s season and taking another 96 Panther games and 73 starts out of the mix. He’s also in his first year as a team captain.

Short has missed the last two games, and the team decided it was time for him to get his rotator cuff repaired.

“KK has done everything he could possibly do to try to play these past two games,” general manager Marty Hurney said, “but we have made the decision that it

is in the best long-term interest of KK and the team that he undergo surgery to fix his shoulder and focus on his rehab and get ready for next season.”

That leaves the rest of the front seven with one fewer experienced leader to lean on.

“You’ve got Gerald (McCoy), who’s brand new to us,” Rivera said. “Bruce is brand new to us.

We’ve got two draft picks. They’re all part of this pass rush. These are guys that have to learn to work together and come together as a group. You go back to last year with the linebackers, JC (Jermaine Carter) and Andre (Smith) — these are guys that are out there, helping you, but they’re new to everybody.”

One of the things that helped accelerate the transition has been leaving the friendly confines of Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium.

The Panthers have played on the road the past two weeks, traveling west to Arizona in Week 3, followed by a trip to Houston last week. That’s given the team time to spend together and begin to jell.

“Getting away, being on the road, in quote-unquote hostile territory,” Rivera said. “I thought it was really cool to watch pods of guys going out, laughing together,

breaking bread together. … I saw them watching college football, laughing it up pretty good. You could tell they were relaxed.”

It might not be entirely the reason, but it’s also probably not a complete coincidence that the Panthers front seven sacked Arizona’s Kyler Murray eight times and Houston’s Deshaun Watson six, just missing the franchise’s two-game record.

“You build that bond,” Rivera said, “that little bit of trust. You have to reestablish that bond to have a nice, good, secure locker room.”

Rivera has also left his own comfortable surroundings and headed to new settings for the good of the team. He’s been abandoning his office to be available in the locker room more often.

“The last couple weeks, I have not been upstairs, first thing,” he said. “I come downstairs, hang around a little bit longer and spend more time trying to talk to these guys. The biggest thing is, when you’re around, the likelihood of them engaging you — it’s easier.

“I do think they’re meshing,” he concluded. “We’ve got to continue to grow.”

And if the transition slows down again? Well, the team leaves for London after this week.

Korean Tour suspends player 3 years for obscene gesture Seoul, South Korea Bio Kim won the tournament and then lost his job. The Korea PGA suspended him Tuesday for three years for making an obscene gesture at the crowd on the 16th hole of the final round because of noise from a cellphone camera.

Yonhap News Agency reports that Kim knelt before cameras and apologized to fans after his disciplinary hearing.

The suspension is effective immediately for Kim, who won the DGB Financial Group Volvik Daegu Gyeongbuk Open for his second Korean Tour victory this year. He leads the Order of Merit and points list for player of the year. Yonhap also reports that Kim was fined 10 million won ($8,350). Kim qualified for the PGA Tour in 2011 but failed to keep his card.

bring physicality and depth scoring. Martinook, a newly minted alternate captain, is the team’s emotional leader and had a career-high 15 goals last season. McGinn has become a top penalty killer and carved himself into Hurricanes lore with his double-overtime winner if Game 7 of Carolina’s first-round series against the Capitals. Foegele — last year’s camp standout — also upped his game in the postseason and finished fourth among Hurricanes wingers in playoff scoring.

that many games from Mrazek to have a successful 2019-20.

The offseason uncertainty regarding Aho was over quickly — but not without drama. Aho, a restricted free agent, signed a fiveyear offer sheet with the Canadiens and forced the Hurricanes’ hand.

Carolina quickly decided to match and, despite the hefty $8.454 million annual cap hit and more than $21 million in signing bonuses in the first two years, the contract ended up looking very favorable for the Hurricanes when compared to other RFA deals signed leading up to the season. Now Aho will need to build on his breakthrough 83-point season and further grow into the role of No. 1 center.

Carolina knows what it gets in Staal, its new captain and arguably the best shutdown center in the NHL. While Staal’s modest offensive output has kept him from winning a Selke Trophy, there’s no denying the impact the 31-year-old has in all three zones and in all situations.

The Hurricanes added more depth down the middle by acquiring Haula from Vegas. Two seasons ago, Haula scored 29 goals and had 55 points for the upstart Golden Knights, helping them to the Stanley Cup Final. But his 2018-19 season ended after just 15 games due to a horrific knee injury. But Haula is back to full power and, Carolina hopes, capable of returning to his form from two seasons ago.

Wallmark, meanwhile, was an invaluable but overlooked part of the Hurricanes’ success last season. Capable of filling in on the power play, as a shutdown defender or as a role player, Wallmark will get easier, albeit fewer, minutes in a fourth-line role thanks to Carolina’s improved depth.

Durham Duke running back Brittain Brown could miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury. Coach David Cutcliffe said Tuesday that Brown and the staff are weighing whether he should have season-ending surgery, saying “we’re at the point with the shoulder that we’ve got to make a decision.”

Brown has carried just 12 times this season for 56 yards while dealing with the injury that kept him out of the victory at Middle Tennessee State. He carried twice for 13 yards in the win at Virginia Tech last week but did not return after re-injuring his shoulder. Deon Jackson and Mataeo Durant shape up as the Blue Devils’ top options at running back for this week’s game against Pittsburgh. They have combined to average 88.5 yards.

The Hurricanes will likely need a big season from goalie Petr Mrazek if they are to match their success from last season with a return to the postseason and a deep run in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

McGinn, Martin Necas, Nino Niederreiter, Andrei Svechnikov, Teuvo Teravainen The Hurricanes are expecting even more out of its group of wingers this season after they helped Carolina boost its scoring by 17 goals over the season before. Teravainen had a career year with 76 points, and his eight power play goals are the most for a returning Hurricanes player. Carolina will also get a full season of Niederreiter who had 14 goals and 30 points in 36 games after being acquired from Minnesota for Victor Rask.

But there’s probably no one the team is more excited about than

Svechnikov, the second-year power forward who scored 20 goals — all at even strength, second only to Aho — in his rookie season. The Russian looks stronger and more confident heading into his second season and will be expected to play an even bigger role, especially on the power play.

The team also added firepower through free agency, signing Dzingel — who scored a combined 49 goals the last two seasons — to a two-year contract worth $3.375 million annually. A lower-body injury suffered in the preseason threatened to keep the 27-year-old out of the lineup to start the season, but he returned to practice Tuesday.

The battle for the final roster spot went to Necas ahead of Julien Gauthier. Both former first-round picks, Necas was penciled into the lineup from the time last season’s playoff run ended. But Gauthier fought his way into the conversation with an impressive preseason the saw him use his size and speed to create chances — though no goals. With Gauthier headed back to Charlotte, Necas is the only right-shooting forward on the roster, and he will be expected to contribute on the power play. His leash could be short, however, if he doesn’t produce early in the season.

Foegele, Martinook and McGinn are all energy wingers who

The Hurricanes defense is admired throughout the league, but that didn’t keep the team from revamping it ahead of this season.

Back are Slavin, Pesce and Hamilton, the core of a defense that is both young and reasonably priced.

They are led by Slavin, named an alternate captain for this season, who figures to garner even more Norris Trophy votes this season as the hockey world becomes more aware of his skill and worth.

Carolina added even more value with Gardiner, who signed a fouryear deal worth a bargain $4.05 million a year on the eve of training camp. His addition made Faulk, a pending free agent, expendable, and the Hurricanes traded their longest-tenured player to St. Louis in exchange for Edmundson and a prospect. Edmundson is expected to add some needed snarl to Carolina’s blue line.

It was a role Fleury seemingly couldn’t fill, as he now looks like the seventh defenseman again once van Riemsdyk — who had shoulder surgery following an injury suffered in the Capitals series — is ready to return to the lineup. Fleury should get an extended chance to prove himself, but good camps from Roland McKeown and Gustav Forsling, the possibility of calling up more experienced Frederik Claesson, and the possibility of bringing up Jake Bean mean the former first-round pick will need to prove himself.

Pitchers set for homer-filled October The MLB playoff follows a record-breaking power surge in the regular season

“The way guys are hitting them out now, every time the ball goes in the air you think it has a chance.”

By Jake Seiner The Associated Press JUSTIN VERLANDER didn’t intend to alter his pitching strategy, not after 14 seasons as a major league ace. But then the home runs stopped making sense.

A long drive by Yankees slugger Aaron Judge? The Houston Astros ace can live with that. This season, though, was full of surprises. Like when spindly utility man Ehire Adrianza drove a fastball into the right-field party deck in Minnesota. Or the time light-hitting Angels infielder David Fletcher nearly put one into a parking lot beyond left field during a series in Monterrey, Mexico. Routine fly balls had become wall-scraping homers, and every hitter was suddenly strong enough to reach the second deck.

“The game has changed completely,” Verlander said.

Expect more of the same this October.

Hitters smashed a record 6,776 home runs in 2019, soaring past the previous high of 6,105 from two years earlier. It’s a rise of over 60% from 2014, a year before a seismic home run spike attributed to tweaks in the baseballs. Major League Baseball commissioned a study in 2018 that concluded there was less drag on the ball causing all those extra homers, but Commissioner Rob Manfred has insisted MLB doesn’t know why. He has also denied accusations from Verlander and other pitchers that the balls have been deliberately altered.

Manfred told Forbes last week he has reconvened the scientists from the 2018 study and expects to issue another report after the World Series. His goal: “predictable, consistent performance from the baseball.”

Across the 10 playoff rosters, only three qualified hitters connected for fewer than 15 home runs this season — St. Louis’ Kolten Wong (11), Milwaukee’s Lorenzo Cain (11) and Houston’s Josh Reddick (14). There were 21 such hitters on postseason teams in 2014.

Verlander has been critical of structural changes to the baseball since 2017 when pitchers and coaches from the Astros and Dodgers complained that World Series balls were slicker than ones used in the regular season. They moaned and groaned while the clubs combined for a Series-record 25 homers, but fans largely oohed and awed — especially during Game 5, a topsy-turvy classic featuring seven home runs.

Verlander has called this year’s balls a “joke.” He’s given up a career-most 36 homers, yet he’s neck-and-neck with teammate Gerrit Cole for the AL Cy Young Award. How’d he do that?

“I used to pitch to weak contact,” he said. “I no longer try to miss barrels. I try to miss bats.”

After years of seeking quick outs to keep his pitch count low, Verlander has gone whole hog on punchouts. The 36-year-old totaled 300 of them in a season for the first time and surpassed 3,000 for his career in his final start. He avoided the middle of the plate at all costs, especially with runners on base — 28 of his homers were solo shots.

Of course, strikeouts have surged everywhere — the majors set a record for the 12th consec-

utive season with 42,823 of them in 2019. There are varied reasons for that, including stronger arms and aggressive bullpen management, but pitchers say distrust in the baseball is a factor.

“There’s been an adaptation in the way I pitch that correlates with the ball, I just didn’t necessarily realize I was doing it because of the ball,” Verlander said.

“You can no longer give in to a fastball away because 99% of players in Major League Baseball now can take an away fastball and hit a homer opposite field.

“So what’s my defense to that?

My defense is I have to have you swing and miss.”

In the clubhouse of the NL East-champion Braves, every pitcher seems to remember at least one home run this year that looked like a pop fly off the bat. “(Christian) Yelich, he went straight-center off me,” starter Mike Foltynewicz said. “(Pete) Alonso, on a changeup,” added rotation-mate Mike Soroka.

“You just know sometimes you might make your pitch and it’s not going to matter,” All-Star reliever Shane Greene said.

Those pitchers aren’t as concerned about strategizing around the homers as they are with steeling themselves against the frustration of it all. Soroka had the lowest home run rate of any qualified NL starter, and he credits that to an effective sinker and a willingness to be “stubborn.”

“The way guys are hitting them out now, every time the ball goes in the air you think it has a chance,” Braves manager Brian Snitker

said. “They experience all that on a daily basis over the course of the season. The ones that are successful are the ones who can handle that adversity.”

The postseason is a different game though, and not just because of the extra scrutiny and pressure.

There are 26 hitters on postseason rosters who hit at least 30 home runs this season — not including Yelich, the Brewers’ NL MVP contender who will miss the playoffs with a broken kneecap. Four teams bypassed the previous season record for homers, with the Twins (307) and Yankees (306) becoming the first clubs to reach 300.

“There’s certain ballparks and certain times that you have to be patient,” Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. “Because you know there are going to be a few more runs scored and balls are going to leave the ballpark.”

Stressful stuff for pitchers and managers, no doubt, but if the 2017 World Series is an indication, it could be wild fun for fans, too. This year’s postseason participants combined to win 73 times in the regular season when trailing after seven innings. When no lead is safe, no game can be boring, right?

Maybe. Some are concerned that this year’s big fly bonanza might have been too much even for the thrill-seekers in the seats.

“Before, it was like the big wreck at a NASCAR race,” Greene said. “You might see one, and everybody showed up to see that one homer. Now, you’re going to see six.”

Managers have learned to live with all that carnage. Snitker maintained the baseball won’t affect his decision-making, a sentiment echoed by Astros manager AJ Hinch. Yankees skipper Aaron Boone isn’t sure what to anticipate, except he’s pretty sure hitters will keep finding ways to connect.

“The team that ends up winning the World Series,” Boone said, “will do a good job of holding offenses down and will probably hit a lot of balls in the seats when they have traffic to create some big innings off of elite pitchers.

“What it ends up looking like, I don’t know how to predict that.”

Elliott wins playoff race at Charlotte in scorching heat Aric Almirola, Kurt Busch, Erik Jones and Ryan Newman were all trimmed from the championship hunt as the Cup Series playoffs got down to 12 competitors

By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press CONCORD — Alex Bowman had just advanced to the second round of NASCAR’s Cup Series playoffs, climbed from his car and slumped to the ground, dehydrated and overcome by the heat. As he was receiving medical attention, Bubba Wallace approached him and angrily splashed liquid in Bowman’s face.

That closing image capped a sloppy Sunday in scorching temperatures at Charlotte Motor Speedway, where Chase Elliott won despite crashing head-on into a tire barrier earlier on The Roval. Elliott was leading on a restart headed into the first turn when he locked his brakes and his car drove directly off the course and crashed into the makeshift wall.

“I couldn’t believe I did that.

That was just so stupid,” Elliott said. “I don’t know that you could have done anything more stupid leading this race than what I did right there. Luckily our car wasn’t too bad ... fast enough to drive up through there, got the cautions at the right time, and just didn’t quit.

“If there’s ever a lesson to not quit, today was the example.”

Elliott celebrated by returning to the corner where he’d wrecked earlier and placing the nose against the barrier before smoking his tires.

“I was coming back and saw that dang thing and thought I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to redeem myself,” Elliott said of his celebration.

The winner, though, was not the spotlight in NASCAR’s first elimination race of the playoffs.

The focus was on the four drivers who would be trimmed from the 16-driver championship field, and Bowman spent the entire race fighting for a spot in the second round. He crashed his car in the final moments of Saturday practice and had to go to a backup, then spun in the opening laps Sunday, deliberately spun Wallace in anger, and had to claw his way

Chase Elliott won Sunday’s playoff race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the second annual NASCAR Cup Series race the featured the track’s “roval” configuration. to a second-place finish.

But the 1-2 finish for Hendrick Motorsports was no guarantee that Bowman would advance.

Ryan Newman, further back in the field, had the point advantage on Bowman and Bowman had no control of his own fate.

Then Newman, racing Aric Almirola over the final few laps for a shot at advancing, missed a chicane with two laps remaining and the error eliminated him from the playoffs.

“I felt like I made a lot of mistakes trying too hard,” said Newman, who also stalled his Ford during a pit stop. “We did not have the race car and that’s what I had to do.”

The point difference swung to Bowman, who couldn’t celebrate because he needed immediate medical attention. As Bowman was slumped next to his car and surrounded by medical personnel, Wallace approached him, the two had a brief verbal exchange

and Bowman appeared to laugh at Wallace right before Wallace angrily splashed the bottle he was carrying in Bowman’s face.

Bowman was later treated in the infield care center for dehydration and said he spun Wallace for flipping his middle finger at him repeatedly on track.

“I got flipped off for every single straightaway for three laps, flipped off by him for like three or four laps in a row at Richmond, so I’m just over it. He probably wouldn’t have got wrecked if he had his finger back in the car, right?” Bowman said. “Probably shouldn’t repeat what he said to me, but nothing classy, by any means. I get it. I’d be mad, too, but he put himself in that spot.”

It was a messy day on the hybrid road course/oval at Charlotte, where the championship chances ended for Newman, Almirola, Kurt Busch and Erik Jones.

A late caution led NASCAR to stop the race for a cleanup and the

“If there’s ever a lesson to not quit, today was the example.”

Chase Elliott drivers had to sit inside their cockpits, where temperatures hovered around 120 degrees. NASCAR officials went car-to-car handing out water bottles, and Newman was among the many who radioed their crew asking for bags of ice to be waiting for him when the race ended.

Kyle Busch decided he wasn’t going to sit in the heat and drove his car to the garage, calling it a race with seven laps remaining.

He was three laps down at the time and already locked into the second round of the playoffs.

Kevin Harvick finished third

and was followed by Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Clint Bowyer, who was in danger of being eliminated from the playoffs but advanced with his fourthplace finish.

Brad Keselowski was fifth and followed by pole-sitter William Byron, Martin Truex Jr. and Ryan Blaney as playoff drivers claimed the top eight spots.

The track, typically a standard NASCAR oval, was modified for this playoff race for the second consecutive year into a 17-turn, 2.28-mile circuit that uses both the road course through the infield and the oval. The twists and turns around the circuit are marked with chicanes on the backstretch and frontstretch to slow the cars and, potentially, increase passing on the oval portion of the track.

An added wrinkle from last year is an overhauled backstretch chicane revamped to make it a braking and passing zone.

NASCAR made it very clear in every communication with teams that skipping a chicane would be penalized, and Newman was one of many drivers to miss it and suffer a costly setback.

Erik Jones was the first driver eliminated from the playoffs after a horrible opening round.

He had a mechanical issue at Las Vegas but rallied last week at Richmond to finish fourth in a 1-2-3-4 sweep for Joe Gibbs Racing. Then NASCAR said Jones’ car had failed post-race inspection, and the 42-point penalty dropped him to last in the playoff field.

Jones was in a must-win situation at Charlotte to advance into the second round of the playoffs, but he went to the garage with damage to his Toyota at the end of the first stage and finished last. It officially knocked him out of the playoffs while the race was still going on.

“It’s frustrating not to even have a chance throughout the whole race, you know?” said Jones. “It’s unfortunate. We just had three really bad weeks and it’s some of our own doing and some not our own doing. I’d love to be moving forward here and challenging for the championship. I thought we could have went pretty deep this year, but it’s just the nature of the playoffs.”

DAVID HINDLEY/ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS VIA AP

This image released by Roadside Attractions shows Renée-Zellweger as Judy Garland in a scene from “Judy,” in theaters on Sept. 27.

‘Abominable’ No.1 with $20.9M; Zellweger’s ‘Judy’ sings out

By Jake Coyle The Associated Press NEW YORK — The DreamWorks animated adventure “Abominable” topped the box office with $20.9 million in ticket sales over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday, while the Renee Zellweger-led Judy Garland tale “Judy” got off to a strong start.

“Abominable,” the weekend’s sole new wide release, is a co-production between Universal’s DreamWorks and the Shanghai-based Pearl Studios. So the $75 million-film’s performance when it opens Tuesday in China will be vital to its worldwide success.

The film, written and directed

by Jill Culton, is about a Shanghai teenager (Chloe Bennet) who discovers a lost yeti on the roof of her apartment building. She and a pair of friends traverse China to return the creature, whom they name

“Everest,” home to the Himalayas.

“Abominable” garnered positive reviews (80% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a warm reception from audiences (an A CinemaScore) eager for a family friendly option.

“Abominable” marks the seventh No. 1 film this year for Universal, or eight if you count “Downton Abbey,” released by the studio’s specialty label, Focus Features.

“Downton,” last week’s top film, slid to second with $14.5 million. The big-screen encore for the British series has already grossed $107.1 million worldwide.

That gives Universal the most No.1 movies of any studio this year, passing Disney. Though Disney still commands an overwhelming market share of about 34%, Universal has had a strong year with a varied slate (“Us,” ‘’Hobbs & Shaw,” ‘’Yesterday”). The studio accounts for all three of the year’s No.1-debuting original releases: “Abomi-

nable,” ‘’Us” and “Good Boys.”

“It’s not going to be all superheroes all the time. That’s not necessarily going to be everyone’s cup of tea,” said Jim Orr, distribution chief for Universal. “When we have films like ‘Abominable,’ ‘Yesterday,’ ‘Good Boys,’ ‘Us,’ we’re bringing a lot of different people into the theaters and that’s good for everyone.

That’s good for the entire industry.”

It’s been a good run for original films lately at the box office. The stripper drama “Hustlers,” from STX Entertainment, continued to hold strong with $11.5 million in its third week, dropping just 32%.

It’s now made $80.6 million altogether. “Hustlers” potentially got a boost by having its star — Jennifer Lopez — announced this week as next year’s Super Bowl halftime act, along with Shakira.

And one of the weekend’s biggest successes was “Judy,” which opened with $3.1 million on 461

screens. The film, directed by Rupert Goold, is about the final act of Judy Garland’s life, when the “Wizard of Oz” star was plagued by drug addiction, health woes and financial troubles. The film’s main draw is Zellweger’s lauded performance as Garland, which has made her the best-actress Oscar front-runner.

Roadside Attractions rolled out “Judy” with a rare medium-sized platform release that the distributor has found success with before on films like 2012’s “Mud” and this summer’s “The Peanut Butter Falcon.” The latter is a Mark Twain-inspired adventure starring Zack Gottsagen, who has Down syndrome, and Shia LaBeouf. This weekend, it became the year’s top indie platform release with $18.1 million over eight weeks, passing A24’s “The Farewell.”

Howard Cohen, co-president and co-founder of Roadside, says the 16-year-old distributor has succeeded by seeking populist indies. (“Judy,” for which the audience was almost 80% over the age of 35, will expand nationwide further next week.)

“It’s a very challenging time in film distribution for indies and everyone but Disney, maybe,”

said Cohen. “We like movies that can draw an audience, that are crowd-pleasers. In a challenging environment, you have to give people a really strong reason to leave their house.”

“The movies have to be properly released and promoted,” he added. “But I think the audience is still there.”

The two-and-half-month break from superheroes atop the box office is expected to end next weekend when Warner Bros.’ “Joker” hits theaters, along with Fox Searchlight’s “Lucy in the Sky” and Netflix’s “Dolemite Is My Name.”

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore.

1. “Abominable,” $20.9 million 2. “Downton Abbey,” $14.5 million 3. “Hustlers,” $11.5 million 4. “It Chapter Two,” $10.4 million 5. “Ad Astra,” $10.1 million 6. “Rambo: Last Blood,” $8.6 million 7. “Judy,” $3.1 million 8. “Good Boys,” $2 million 9. “The Lion King,” $1.6 million 10. “Angel Has Fallen,” $1.5 million

Review: Eddie Murphy shines in vulgar, heartfelt ‘Dolemite’

By Lindsey Bahr The Associated Press For the amount of cursing, vulgarity and nudity in “Dolemite Is My Name ,” it might come as a surprise that it’s actually a rather sweet and heartfelt film. “Dolemite” is not here to shock and scandalize. It’s simply a loving, R-rated portrait of Rudy Ray Moore, a nobody who had the guts to believe in himself when no one else did, featuring a killer comeback Eddie Murphy performance.

The self-proclaimed “Godfather of rap,” Moore was an Army veteran, standup comedian, musician and born performer who in the 1970s came to niche prominence for his rhythmic and raunchy Dolemite act. That character would beget both standup albums and the 1975 Blaxploitation film “Dolemite,” a low-budget production (reports say it cost around $100,000 to make) that made some $10 million at the box office.

But it’s almost irrelevant whether you know Moore’s name well, and how he inspired the likes of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, or are learning about him for the first time: “Dolemite Is My Name” is just a good piece of entertainment. And it’s the kind of film that will help his legacy live on (Moore died in 2008 at age 81). It makes

sense that the script comes by way of screenwriters Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, who did something similar for the cult filmmaker Ed Wood.

Directed by Craig Brewer (“Hustle & Flow”), “Dolemite Is My Name” transports you to Moore’s 1970s Los Angeles, thanks to Ruth E. Carter’s evocative costumes and Clay Griffith’s production design.

There’s nothing terribly interesting about the way it’s told, it’s just a straightforward underdog story with a big beating heart.

Murphy plays Moore with a wide-eyed eagerness we typically only see on screen in much younger characters. He’s constantly told no or to stay in his lane. Even his friends (Craig Robinson, Mike Epps and Tituss Burgess among them) look at him with that kind of half-pitying/half-supportive smile that will leave the audience wondering if this is just a big dreamer who might not actually make it.

But he has an eye for talent and at a low point borrows some material from a local homeless man about a larger-than-life character named Dolemite, and, finally he’s got people’s attention. But there are still many, many no’s he’ll have to overcome to get an album made and then released. And we haven’t even gotten to the cult classic movie yet.

While it’s a joy spending time with Moore as he ascends in the comedy world, the film really kicks into gear when he gets the idea to make a film one night after he and his buddies decide to see a movie — something funny — and are left scratching their heads at a packed showing of Billy Wilder’s 1974 remake of “The Front Page” with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, wondering what the appeal is.

So they decide to make something that they want to see (kungfu, nudity and action are a few of the requirements). Moore scrapes together money, friends, acquaintances, some strangers (a playwright played by Keegan-Michael Key, and actor D’Urville Martin, played by Wesley Snipes) and a few film school students and sets off to make a feature. The only problem?

None of them really know how to make a movie. But they do their best which is often funny and always endearing.

Aside from Murphy, who eases back into stardom seamlessly, the other standout performance comes from Da’Vine Joy Randolph, a Tony-nominated stage actress who bursts off the screen as comedian Lady Reed. Moore “discovers” her one night on tour as someone with presence.

“Some people walk around with

The same could be said of Randolph, or Moore himself and it’s a lovely thing to have a very good film like “Dolemite Is My Name” to show off both.

“Dolemite Is My Name,” a Netflix release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “some sexuality, full nudity and brief language.” Running time: 118 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.

Guest models, catwalk crashers at Paris Fashion Week

By Thomas Adamson The Associated Press PARIS — Armed with a battalion of celebrity ambassadors, L’Oréal took over the historic Paris Mint building to stage a Paris Fashion Week extravaganza. Offerings from Elie Saab, who went 1970s, and Vivienne Westwood, who stylishly towed a line between ethnic and punk, made for a frenetic pace of shows on Saturday.

Here are some highlights of the Paris Fashion Week: L’oreal goes to the mint L’Oréal’s celebrated female empowerment at its third fashion show, which featured actresses Helen Mirren, Andie MacDowell and Eva Longoria giving turns as models and was broadcast to over 40 countries.

The French cosmetic giant’s display still was less ambitious than last year’s edition, which took place on the Seine River, or the one staged in the center of the Champs-Elysees that literally stopped traffic in 2017.

Nonetheless, Mirren, Longoria, MacDowell and Dutch model Doutzen Kroes energized spectators at the evening show, joining Cuban-American singer Camila Cabello, Spice Girl Geri Halliwell and American model-actress Amber Heard and others to showcase a collection of carefully crafted looks.

Whatever the styles lacked in unity — they harked from diverse design houses that included AMI, Balmain, Dries Van Noten, Elie Saab and Giambattista Valli — they made up in razzmatazz.

A strong-shouldered tuxedo mixed with a 70s jabot collar shirt on Mirren and contrasted with more feminine styles, such as a trapeze-shaped, shoulder-less coral gown or the dazzling pearl-hued ruched number Longoria wore.

The L’Oréal brand’s cachet in makeup could not go unnoticed.

Kroes and other models were made to look nymph-like, thanks to makeup director Val Garland and hair baron Stephane Lancien.

Petite Cabello was in a self-deprecating mood ahead of her catwalk showing, telling AP: “Do you guys know you’re talking to a model? The shortest model that ever walked the runway.”

The modelling turn also brought

out the jitters in Desperate Housewives star Longoria, who confessed “it terrifies me. This is not my comfort zone. I’m not a runway model — full disclosure.”

MacDowell, meanwhile, praised the brand’s inclusive ethos.

“Last year was the first time I had been on the runway since my 20s, and I started modeling in Paris. So it’s full circle for me to be back,” the 61-year-old “Green Card” actress said.

“I think (it’s) really interesting to represent mature women and to show that we’re still fashionable and we can do it just like anybody,” she added.

Hermes’ pared-down style Minimalism with a hint of equestrian-style utilitarianism.

That was the simple formula deployed with style in French designer Nadege Vanhee-Cybulski’s spring collection for Hermes.

Reports that Hermes’ womenwear is overtaking its menwear sales momentum has added scrutiny to Vanhee-Cybulski’s discreet designs that split fashion critics into two camps.

Some welcome the slight geometry and attention to the famed Hermes house codes that she has brought since taking over in 2014.

While, others see the sometimes austere, minimalist designs as an unwelcome direction for the powerhouse synonymous with luxuriance.

In Saturday’s well-executed show, a fine geometry defined the silhouette: Be it in a sporty graphic vest, or a dolphin-gray sweater with Asian-style arms and angular banding at the waist.

But cinnamon-colored segmented leather looks were the 55-piece-collection’s best.

They towed the line, in a sort of compromise, between the two camps of critics: Shimmering crisply with luxuriance while remaining understated.

Valentino’s powerful simplicity A less-is-more philosophy at Valentino had celebrity guests, including American singer Camila Cabello and model Naomi Campbell, vigorously applauding.

“By subtracting color, shape and

volumes come to the fore,” Pierpaolo Piccioli said.

With this mantra, the Italian Valentino designer composed a refined and thoughtful opus for spring that took the storied house in a more focused direction than last season’s chunky butterfly embroideries.

Here, the designs blossomed via their simplicity in white and eye-popping color with flashes of gold.

The first looks were all white.

Voluminous white shirt-dresses served as a tabula rasa, a blank canvas, which Piccioli then adorned with delicate gold jewelry, such as a round necklace with a figurative bird pendant.

At times, the shirts’ high collars and starched feel felt ecclesiastical, while their voluminous sleeves almost angelic.

The collection maintained this arresting simplicity throughout, even when bright color was explored in an electric lime silk gown with a beautiful floor-length trapeze silhouette. It was gently ruched at the collar with a 1970s necktie detail, and was worn by a makeup-less model who resembled a divinity with myriad gold sequins around the eyes.

For spring, Piccioli took us to heaven.

Chanel’s catwalk on a hot tin roof In her first solo ready-to-wear show since Karl Lagerfeld’s death, Chanel designer Virginie Viard had a lot to prove.

And by recreating a sprawling Parisian roofscape inside the Grand Palais with a front row including Sting and Cardi B, Viard showed she intended to take on Lagerfeld’s mantel of showmanship. But in an unfortunate twist, a runway crasher — a French comedian who shot out from the seated area to walk theatrically with the models — ended up stealing the show in a publicity stunt.

Chanel used its formidable show coffers to recreate a cityscape of Haussmannian roofs: Replete with lead tiling, windows with shutters, railings and chimneys.

With a cracked window pane, weathered rainfall markings and a decidedly gray — not blue — spring sky, it’s clear that the set this sea-

son favored realism over romance.

Wet guests coming in from the drizzling Paris weather just added to the ambiance.

Yet the show — and it 83 wearable designs featuring truncated tweeds and A-line miniskirts — seemed to lack in romance.

Many looks evoked the city’s famed understated style: A pair of high-waist cropped jeans was set off with a simple white striped knit jacket, on which a large rose broach subtly matched the model’s red lips. Silver shorts were as fantastical as this grounded collection got.

Tweed mini-dresses were, as ever, beautifully-executed, coming this season with slightly dropped pockets in a gamine style. Stripes and checks appeared across layered skirts and down Chanel’s dresses in a gentle visual kinesis.

But the ready-to-wear collection — Viard’s first as a solo force at the design helm — seemed to lack a central idea.

Lagerfeld’s daringly inventive silhouettes are a hard act to follow — and this display, though both wearable and highly chic — fell short of the sunshine.

At the finale for the Chanel show, a guest resembling a Mary Poppins figure in tweed, identified as a French YouTuber and comedian Marie Benoliel, stood up and boldly walked onto the runway.

With a theatrical nod to confused spectators, some of whom momentarily thought she was part of the presentation, Benoliel then started to strut down the rooftop runway with all the other models.

Apart from the slightly besheveled swagger in her walk, she almost blended in.

The catwalk crasher moved so quickly that Chanel’s bewildered security team didn’t have time to catch up. Gigi Hadid, who put the super in supermodel, saved the day by apprehending the hat-wearing lady at the end of the podium. She and other models then escorted Benoliel off the roof.

Benoliel has done this before, according to her YouTube channel, on which she posted the Chanel stunt. She previously managed to get onstage at an Etam show with Cindy Bruna in lingerie.

She goes by the name Marie S’Infiltre on Instagram, meaning roughly “Mary gets inside” in

French.

Westwood’s high punk priestess Designer Andreas Kronthaler merged his signature urban punk with fresh tribal styles for the Vivienne Westwood show set amid dark brooding light.

The mood seemed to suit Kronthaler: it resulted in a spring collection that moved the house of Westwood in a welcome, more focused direction.

A gargantuan pointed hat - part high priestess, part Marie Antoinette - was paired with a bathing suit bodice, a great detail that set the tone for a display of quirky contrasts.

Ethnic jewelry abounded along with knee-high soccer socks. A pale silver headdress billowed fabric ribbons that nestled eccentrically on a pair of loose culottes.

A checkered pattern on loose or gathered skirts cut a fine contrast with a metallic blue double-breasted jacket that had the gigantic round shoulders and glimmer of the 1980s.

Elie saab channels circles, 70s A vivid red screen flanked the Elie Saab runway inside the grounds of a Paris institution, the Michelin 3-star restaurant Alleno Paris at the Pavillon Ledoyen.

The Lebanese designer got decorative and turned the style-dial firmly back to the 1970s. Small circles were a key theme.

The circles, at times, appeared controlled, such as the tiny perforated eyelets on a sporty white mini dress with long tassels.

Later, the theme had a boho vibe: a petite sunflower print adorned a floor-length black gown worn by a model styled with her hair in an Afro.

A silk gown in rich electric blue had a looser-than-normal silhouette and a waist that was tight without being cinched. Thick banding led the eye down to a sumptuous full skirt that gently grazed the floor.

The collection indicated that Saab, who found fame with va-vavoom cinched-waist looks, seems to be moving out of his comfort zone.

And it’s paying dividends.

Two Nissan 2020 Titan pickup trucks are pictured in this Oct. 2019 file photo.

Texas state fair includes truck showcase 100-year-old auto show is a hot spot for truck manufacturers to showcase new models

By Jordan Golson For the North State Journal DALLAS — They say that everything is bigger in Texas. That’s certainly true of the 55-foot Big Tex statue that is the centerpiece of the massive Texas State Fair, and in his shadow we have a rapidly growing car truck show that will see many of the fair’s two million visitors over the next few weeks.

The Texas Auto Show isn’t new — it’s been around for more than 100 years — but its transformation into a show where automakers actually make big announcements is a new one. Unsurprisingly, Tex-

as is a huge market for trucks, and next month the Texas Auto Writers Association will hold its annual Texas Truck Rodeo where truckmakers slug it out for the distinction of being named the Truck of Texas.

If you didn’t know, Texans are quite proud of Texas (and of trucks), and it’s perhaps no surprise that the two have come together at the State Fair. And, at the Texas State Fair media day, we had a number of announcements, special editions, and, perhaps for the first time ever, the some big reveals.

Nissan debuted its redesigned 2020 Titan pickup at the show, focusing on its Safety Shield 360 tech which includes automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, automatic high beams, and a “class-exclusive” rear automatic braking. Carmakers love things

that the competition doesn’t have.

The Titan is an interesting competitor to the big truck brands of Ford, GM, RAM, and, to a lesser extent, Toyota. It isn’t aimed at massive fleet buyers or those who want to tow the moon. With a V8gas engine plowing out 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque and “America’s Best Truck Warranty” (written in Texas-sized letters all over the Nissan booth) at 5-years / 100,000 miles bumper-tobumper, the Titan is worth considering if you’re looking for an everyday truck.

The 2020 Nissan Titan will be out early next year.

Then there’s Ford, which rolled out some very big numbers for the new 2020 Super Duty pickup. Literally.

The new F-450 (properly equipped, mind you) can tow a maximum of 37,000 pounds,

showing that heavy-duty pickups have blown past any semblance of reasonableness with how much they can haul. You’d need a Commercial Driver’s License to get within 10,000 pounds of the maximum load, but bigger is better so here we are. This is Texas, after all.

The reworked 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8 produces a “best-in-class” 475 horsepower and a world-moving 1,050 ft-lbs of torque. There’s a new 7.3-liter gas V8 too, which makes 430 horsepower and 475 ft-lbs of torque.

And the 6.2-liter gas engine can be equipped for a maximum payload capacity of 7,850 pounds.

If you don’t know what all those numbers mean, don’t worry. Honestly, they don’t mean much, other than big trucks can haul big things and Ford has some of the biggest. In reality, the heavy duty trucks from Ford, Chevy/GMC,

and RAM can all haul anything you’d need to haul.

Ford’s numbers just happen to be bigger. Which is better.

The rest of the announcements weren’t quite as major (or as physically large), but there’s a new RAM 1500 Limited Black Edition which is more black and more limited.

The big brother Ram Heavy Duty has a new Night Edition. I love blacked-out trim levels, so these are awesome to me.

There’s a new Toyota 4Runner Venture edition, which includes a standard cargo rack on the roof for hauling stuff to the middle of nowhere, as well as black accessory and trim pieces. If you want to explore where others aren’t, this is a good choice.

And the long-awaited diesel option for the new Jeep Wrangler is finally here, with 260-horsepower and a massive 442 lb-ft of torque.

That’ll get you up some rocks.

ATVs to be allowed on some roads in Utah’s 5 national parks The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — ATVs will be allowed on certain roads in the five national parks in Utah under a new rule from the National Park Service that went through without public comment.

The rule taking effect Nov. 1 only applies to national parks in Utah to conform with a state law passed 2008 that allows any “street-legal” vehicle on state and county roads, The Salt Lake Tribune reported .

The National Park Service’s acting regional director, Palmer “Chip” Jenkins, informed park administrators last week in a memo about a policy change that allows ATVs and so-called utility terrain vehicles (or UTVs) on main access roads and back roads if they have standard safety equipment and are registered and insured.

The agency had previously opted not to align with the state law because it feared it would be too easy for ATVs to drive off roads if they were allowed anywhere in the park.

But National Park Service spokeswoman Vanessa Lacayo said off-roading won’t be allowed.

“This alignment with state law isn’t carte blanche to take their ATVs off road,” Lacayo said. “If people (drive) off road, they will be cited. Protection of these resources is paramount.”

The rule change triggered criticism from conservation groups that contend it will worsen traffic congestion and parking issues in the state’s national parks that are

already overcrowded.

Allowing noisy ATVs in the parks will disrupt wildlife and pierce the solitude for visitors, said Kristen Brengel, the National Parks Conservation Association’s vice president of government affairs. Her organization is weighing options to block the rule’s implementation.

“These are national parks that have incredible resources, cultural resources, natural resources, and so by allowing these vehicles that are tailored to go anywhere, you’re potentially putting these resources at risk,” Brengel said.

“The park service should be going through a public process, doing an analysis and making sure they can adequately protect the park and its resources and visitors. They haven’t done that.”

The rule applies to the five national parks in Utah: Zion, Canyonlands, Arches, Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef.

The policy change will allow the off-road vehicles to drive on wellknown roads such as Canyonlands National Park’s White Rim and Arches’ entry points from Salt Valley and Willow Springs.

Off-highway vehicle advocacy groups and many southern Utah county commissioners pushed U.S. government officials to make the change.

Newell Harward, a Wayne County commissioner, applauded the change.

“We are happy with it,” said Harward, whose county includes Capitol Reef National Park and Glen Canyon National Recreation

Area. “It will increase some tourism issues with folks who want to use some of these roads with street-legal UTVs.” He added: “I’m hoping people will pay attention to the laws and stay on roads. If they don’t, then this is going to get backed up.”

Utah state Rep. Phil Lyman, who led an ATV protest ride

through a southern Utah canyon off-limits to the vehicles several years ago when he was a county commissioner, also sent a letter to the Interior Department to alter the rule.

He said in the Sept. 2 letter he was “offended” that off-highway vehicles weren’t allowed in the parks since most of them are ac-

cessed by state and county roads.

“The owners of street-legal OHVs comply with numerous laws and regulations to be given the privilege to drive on a wide range of state and county roads,” Lyman said. “They also contribute to the maintenance of the state highway system through gasoline taxes and registration fees.

Blue Cross CEO resigns after DWI charge Resignation prompts halt of affiliation deal with Oregon insurer

STATEWIDE SPOTLIGHT Sponsored by

By Emily Roberson North State Journal RALEIGH — Amid pressure from North Carolina’s top insurance regulator, video of an alleged drunk driving incident and publication of the arrest report, the chief executive of North Carolina’s dominant health insurer resigned last week.

Dr. Patrick Conway, 45, was charged with driving while impaired and misdemeanor child abuse following the June 22nd crash. No one was injured, but Conway’s two daughters were in the car. His next court hearing is October 8th.

As the news began to circulate more widely last week, Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey said Conway had shown a lack of leadership and professionalism related to his arrest from the crash on Interstate 85 in Randolph County. Causey also accused the Blue Cross board of exercising poor judgment in revealing the arrest and the circumstances surrounding what happened. Causey said he didn’t learn about it until the week before last after a news report surfaced.

“It has become apparent to me that there’s been a significant breakdown in the corporate governance at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina,” Causey said at a news conference last week in Gastonia. “It pains me greatly because this tragic incident has put a big dent in the reputation of a good company. But there is no path forward for this office to have a trusting, confident and reliable working relationship” with Conway, he added.

Causey had initially called for an interim CEO to step in while the case was resolved. Before last Wednesday’s resignation, Blue Cross board chairman Frank Holding Jr. wrote to Causey that Conway had completed a 30-day inpatient substance abuse treatment program.

“Based on detailed information shared by the facility, con-

In the aftermath of last week’s events, Causey said he doesn’t believe the board had all the information about Conway’s arrest when they made that decision.

The statement attributed to the company’s board said that they engaged outside lawyers and other experts to examine the crash immediately after it happened. It said it asked for his resignation after more investigative material surfaced.

“As a mission-driven organization, BlueCross NC is committed to doing business with honesty, integrity and fairness. The details that recently emerged related to Dr. Conway’s arrest depict behavior that falls short of our standards,” the board said in the statement.

The board has named Gerald Petkau, who has served as chief operating officer, as interim CEO. An investigative report of the accident obtained by WRALTV and written by the Archdale police investigating officer said Conway had bloodshot eyes and a strong odor of alcohol at the scene and became “absolutely belligerent” at the police department.

“I deeply regret this incident and the events that day as it is not consistent with the conduct that I strive to embody in my personal and professional life,” Conway said in a statement. “I am taking this very seriously and am committed to dealing with the situation appropriately.”

Deal linking Blue Cross, Cambia halts after resignation In the wake of Conway’s resignation, Blue Cross announced on Friday that regulatory approval of a long-term cooperation agreement with Oregon’s Cambia Health Solutions was no longer being sought. The company had announced last Tuesday that it would put on “temporary hold” its previously announced combination with Cambia Health Solutions. The two not-for-profit companies insure more than 6 million people combined in North Carolina, Oregon, Utah, Idaho and Washington.

Washington Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler wrote to Cambia’s board last Tuesday admonishing them for failing to tell him about Conway’s arrest until the week before.

“Your behavior in this matter must, and will, be taken into account as my office considers (Cambia’s) request for a merger” with Blue Cross, he wrote.

The deal announced in March called for Conway to also become Cambia’s CEO, but the companies planned to keep their assets and insurance policies separate.

An email to NSJ from Blue Cross spokesman Austin Vevurka stated, “In accordance with the previously announced pause in the Strategic Affiliation process, Cambia Health Solutions and Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina have mutually agreed to withdraw their respective Form A applications for regulatory approval.”

New specialty license plate honors N.C. lineworkers North Carolina’s electric lineworkers work hard to keep our state’s electricity flowing, especially following natural disasters such as Hurricane Dorian. A new specialty license plate will read “Keeping the Lights On” in honor of hardworking utility employees across the state. It’s an exciting opportunity for anyone to proudly share the message of support for public power.

Like other specialty license plates, the “Keeping the Lights On” plate costs normal registration fees plus $30. Of that fee, $20 will benefit the N.C. Jaycee Burn Center at UNC Health Care.

The license plate is the result of collaboration. ElectriCities of North Carolina partnered with North Carolina’s electric cooperatives and Duke Energy to put together the legislation required for specialty plates, which was recently passed by the N.C. General Assembly and signed into law by Gov. Roy Cooper.

Want one for yourself? The plate is not quite publicly available yet, but should be by the end of the year. In the meantime, you can celebrate and support those who work tirelessly to keep our lights on during Public Power Week, coming up October 6-12.

Southwest pilots see February or March return of Boeing Max The Associated Press PLANO, Texas — Pilot-union leaders at Southwest Airlines say it could be February or March before their airline resumes flights using the Boeing 737 Max. That’s much later than projected by either Southwest or Boeing.

Union officials said Monday that the grounded plane’s return will take longer for several rea-

sons, including pilot-training requirements and possible changes to checklists that pilots are expected to perform when something goes wrong with a plane.

The Max has been grounded since March after two crashes killed 346 people. Southwest, the biggest operator of the plane, has dropped the Max from its schedule through Jan. 5.

Jon Weaks, president of the

Southwest Airlines Pilots Association, said the union has been uncomfortable with Southwest’s timetable.

“On our side, we think we’re looking at maybe even February or March,” he said during a meeting of pilot-union representatives from several airlines.

Southwest spokeswoman Brandy King said the airline is waiting for more information from feder-

al regulators about timing of the plane’s return.

“We continue our work on schedule revisions but do not have any new information on timing for MAX return to service,” she said.

Boeing spokesman Gordon Johndroe said, “While the decision is up to the regulators, we See BOEING, page C2

C2 NC homeowner insurance to rise slightly next spring Raleigh North Carolina homeowner insurance rates will go up 4% on average next spring as part of an agreement between the Insurance Department and an entity representing the industry. Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey said the settlement announced Friday means an administrative fight between his office and the North Carolina Rate Bureau ends. A hearing had been set for next week.

Causey’s news release says the Rate Bureau — composed of the state’s property insurance writers— initially sought an overall increase of more than 17%. Causey’s office says the highest rate increases would occur in coastal counties as well as in Duplin and Lenoir counties, where lots of flooding occurred during recent hurricanes. Farwestern counties like Cherokee and Clay will see a slight decrease. The rate changes begin in May.

Trump farm secretary: No guarantee small farms will survive

By Todd Richmond The Associated Press MADISON, Wis. — President Donald Trump’s agriculture secretary said Tuesday during a stop in Wisconsin that he doesn’t know if the family dairy farm can survive as the industry moves toward a factory farm model.

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue told reporters following an appearance at the World Dairy Expo in Madison that it’s getting harder for farmers to get by on milking smaller herds.

“In America, the big get bigger and the small go out,” Perdue said.

“I don’t think in America we, for any small business, we have a guaranteed income or guaranteed profitability.”

Perdue’s visit comes as Wisconsin dairy farmers are wrestling with a host of problems, including declining milk prices, rising suicide rates, the transition to larger farms with hundreds or thousands of animals and Trump’s international trade wars.

Wisconsin, which touts itself as America’s Dairyland on its license plates, has lost 551 dairy farms in 2019 after losing 638 in 2018 and 465 in 2017, according to data from the state Department of Agricul-

ture, Trade and Consumer Protection. The Legislature’s finance committee voted unanimously last month to spend an additional $200,000 to help struggling farmers deal with depression and mental health problems.

Jerry Volenec, a fifth generation Wisconsin dairy farmer with 330 cows, left the Perdue event feeling discouraged about his future.

“What I heard today from the secretary of agriculture is there’s no place for me,” Volenec told reporters. “Can I get some support from my state and federal government? I feel like we’re a benefit to society.”

Getting bigger at the expense of smaller operations like his is “not a good way to go,” said Darin Von Ruden, president of Wisconsin Farmers Union and a third generation dairy farmer who runs a 50cow organic farm.

“Do we want one corporation owning all the food in our country?” he said to reporters.

Perdue said he believes the 2018 farm bill should help farmers stay afloat. The bill reauthorizes agriculture and conservation programs at a rough cost of $400 billion over five years or $867 billion over 10 years. But he warned that small farms will still struggle to

compete.

“It’s very difficult on an economy of scale with the capital needs and all the environmental regulations and everything else today to survive milking 40, 50, or 60 or even 100 cows,” he said.

Perdue held a town hall meeting with farmers and agricultural groups to kick off the expo. The former Georgia governor seemed to charm the crowd with his southern accent and jokes about getting swiped in the face by a cow’s tail.

Jeff Lyon, general manager for FarmFirst Dairy Cooperative in Madison, asked Perdue for his thoughts on Trump’s trade war with China.

Trump’s administration has long accused China of unfair trade practices and has imposed escalating rounds of tariffs on Chinese imports to press for concessions. The administration alleges that Beijing steals and forces foreign companies to hand over trade secrets, unfairly subsidizes Chinese companies and engages in cyber-theft of intellectual property. China’s countermoves have been especially hard on American farmers because they target U.S. agricultural exports.

According to a September analysis by the U.S. Dairy Export Council, U.S. dairy solids exports

to China fell by 43 percent overall in the 11 months starting in July 2018, when China enacted the first round of retaliatory tariffs on U.S. dairy products. About 3.7 billion pounds of U.S. farmers’ milk had to find other markets during that span, the analysis found.

Chinese leaders have said they’re ready to talk but will take whatever steps are necessary to protect their rights.

Perdue responded to Lyon’s question by calling the Chinese “cheaters.”

“They toyed us into being more dependent on their markets than them on us. That’s what the problem has been,” he said. “They can’t expect to come into our country freely and fairly without opening up their markets.”

The secretary said the Trump administration is working to expand other international markets, including targeting India, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan and Malaysia. He said he had expected Congress to ratify a new trade agreement between the United States, Mexico and Canada to replace NAFTA but noted that Washington has been distracted over the last few days, an allusion to impeachment proceedings against Trump ramping up last week.

BOEING from page C1 continue to work towards return to service of the MAX in the fourth quarter of this year.”

Boeing is making changes to the Max’s flight-control computers and rewriting software that mistakenly activated on flights in Indonesia last October and Ethiopia in March, pushing the noses of the planes down based on faulty sensor readings.

The changes are intended to make the automated software, called MCAS, less powerful and easier for pilots to control.

Greg Bowen, Southwest pilots’ union chairman for training matters, said even after that work is done, the Federal Aviation Administration will need to decide what type of pilot training will be needed before the planes fly again.

He said the FAA is considering revising a half-dozen pilot checklists related to MCAS and flight-control computers, which he said would take at least 30 days.

The FAA declined to comment.

John DeLeeuw, safety chairman of the pilots’ union at American Airlines, said American plans to fly two of its grounded Max jets from storage in New Mexico to its maintenance base in Tulsa, Oklahoma, this week or next week. The airline will need FAA permission for the flights.

DeLeeuw said American wants to perform maintenance on the jets, “but also to see how the airplanes are flying after being in the desert for six, seven months.”

Analyst says strike cost GM $1B; Mexican pickup plant closes The Associated Press DETROIT — The 16-day strike by auto workers has cost General Motors about $1 billion, an analyst says, while a parts shortage forced the company to close pickup truck and transmission plants in Mexico.

Spokesman Dan Flores confirmed that production at the factories in Silao, Mexico, ended Tuesday morning, affecting 6,000 workers.

The strike has cost GM just over $1 billion thus far, JP Morgan analyst Ryan Brinkman estimated Tuesday in a note to investors.

The plant shutdowns mean that GM has lost any new supplies of its light-duty Chevrolet Silverado, the company’s top-selling U.S. vehicle.

Earlier GM had to close a Mexican engine plant and an assembly plant in Canada due to the strike.

The strike by over 49,000 union workers is now in its third week, and both sides are feeling the impact. Workers are having to get by on $250 per week in strike pay instead of their normal base pay of about $1,200 per week.

GM’s losses are mounting each week the strike continues, costing about $480 million in the first week and another $575 million in the second, Brinkman wrote. The company is losing $82 million per day, he calculated.

GM books revenue from building vehicles as soon as they change hands from the factory to the com-

So revenue has been counted already for nearly all vehicles that are in dealer hands. Many dealers stocked up before the strike and report having plenty of inventory.

The Silao plant shutdown puts more pressure on GM to bring an end to the strike, but it has to balance the short-term losses against extra costs that could come from settling the strike, said Kristin Dz-

iczek, vice president of the Center for Automotive Research, an industry think tank in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

“Short-term, this is costing them, absolutely,” Dziczek said. “It goes back to cost versus principles.

Are the things that they would have to give to end the strike precedents that they would be living with for decades to come?”

Brinkman wrote that GM could recover some of its lost profits by increasing production in the fourth quarter once the strike comes to an end. But the company likely will be limited to add production of vehicles that already are in high demand or where new models are being launched, such as GM’s heavy-duty Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra pickup trucks, Brinkman wrote.

GM’s pickup truck and large SUV plants already were working six or seven days per week to meet demand before the strike, so increasing production will be difficult.
