“Looking at our preliminary

be looking at lots of things, including the safety record of the
company, was the worker prop-

witnesses.”

Lonnie Ellerbe, 19, who broke his own leg to avoid perishing in the forest.
Laurel Hill teen survives horrific accident
Mary Katherine Murphy
[email protected]
Staff reporter
Lonnie Ellerbe never imagined that life could be
altered by something as harmless as a puddle.
Around 8 p.m. on Aug. 25, Ellerbe, 19, was driving to Laurel Hill where he lives with his parents,
James and Anice Ellerbe. He was headed home on
Highway 401 from Raeford, where he was employed
at McDonald’s.
Swerving to avoid two deer that suddenly darted
across the road, Ellerbe’s car hydroplaned in a
puddle. The vehicle careening uncontrollably off
the road proved to be Ellerbe’s last memory before
waking up the next morning.
“I tried not to jerk the wheel and just slide to the
side of the road, but it hit that puddle, it hydroplaned
really bad, and I blacked out,” said Ellerbe.
Ellerbe awoke to daylight and a brief state of confusion.
“When I woke up it was light out, and it took me a
while to realize that I had been in a car accident and
that it must be the next day,” Ellerbe said.
As Ellerbe assessed his situation, more unpleasant surprises awaited him. He was 25-30 yards inside a wooded area, his car having run down a hill
directly into a tree.
“The motor had come through the dash and my
right leg was pinned in place,” said Ellerbe. “Being
in a green car, I knew nobody was going to find me
and that I was going to be stuck if I didn’t get out
then.”
Meanwhile, Ellerbe’s parents were frantic.
“The whole time we didn’t know where he was,
I had to just stay in faith and hope the Lord would
bless my son,” said his mother, Anice.
His cell phone having been thrown from the car in
the crash, there were few options available to him.

“I was crying for so long, thinking ‘What
am I going to do?,’ Ellerbe said. “Then I
was depressed, and then I just got really
angry and said ‘On the count of five I’m
going to do it.’ I lifted my body up with
my hands and broke my femur to move it
enough for me to get it out.”
After making a splint with a stick and
shreds of his shirt, Ellerbe began the grueling process of crawling toward the road.
“It was really hot and I was getting dehydrated,” he said. “At one point there was a
snake – a water moccasin – beside my leg.
I knew from being outside to stay still, but
I was so tired that I fell asleep.”
When he reached sight of the road,
Ellerbe tied a piece of his shirt to a stick
and waved it until someone noticed him
and came to help.
Ellerbe was transported to Moore Re-

least 10 years.
Lonnie Collins, 50, of
Shannon, had worked
about a year as a machinist at the Murphy
Brown plant on U.S. 74
Business between Laurinburg and Maxton,
accordiing to his wife,
Elaine Collins.
Before going to work
for Murphy Brown, a
livestock subsidiary
of Smithfield Foods
Inc., he had worked in
similar positions for
18 years with Sara Lee
Corp. and 15 years with
Kayser-Roth Corp.
“Lonnie was just a
sweet man,” his wife
said. “He would do anything he could to help
people.”
Collins said she
knows little about the
accident that killed
gional Hospital. After two surgeries, one
to insert a clamp and one to place a rod and
four screws in his femur, Ellerbe returned
home on Sept. 8.
“I have six months to a year of physical
therapy left,” said Ellerbe. “Really, I’m not
supposed to be walking on it yet, but since
I’m so young it’s healing super fast.”
Anice attributes her son’s recovery to
his fighting spirit.
“When the man who found him called
me, I could hear Lonnie on the phone saying ‘Oh my God, my leg’s broke,’ and I
knew that if he could talk like that he was
alive,” she said.
When Ellerbe recovers, he plans to return to school. Prior to his accident, he
attended Sandhills Community College in
pursuit of an Associate’s degree in respiratory therapy. His goal is to transfer to ECU
and ultimately attend medical school.
“At the rate I’m going now, the doctors
are going to say that I can go back to school
her husband. She said
all she has been told
by company officials is
that her husband’s leg
was caught in a machine.
Officials at Murphy
Brown were not talking
publicly about the accident, citing the ongoing
state investigation.
“It was a tragic accident,” said Don Butler,
the company’s director
of government relations and public affairs.
“…I have worked with
this company for 20
years and I can’t remember anything like
this happening.”
Collins said her husband as an avid deer
hunter, loved NASCAR
and was a Duke University fan when it came to
college sports.
“Deer hunting was
his passion,” she said.
“… He liked to be outdoors. He wasn’t like
me, satisfied to sit inside and watch the stories on TV.”
Collins said that
she and her husband
had just finished making plans to go to the
mountains on Oct. 7

for next semester,” said Ellerbe. “But the
car is totaled and I only had liability insurance on it, so I can’t replace it and I may
not have a way to get there.”
“When my family saw the car, they knew
he shouldn’t have lived,” said Anice.
Ellerbe, who graduated from the Scotland High School of Health Science, credits
both his academic education and wilderness skills learned from his father for his
survival.
“I did clinicals at Scotland, so I knew
how to make a splint, and I’ve been in the
woods hunting and fishing, so I wasn’t
afraid of the woods.”
Above all, Ellerbe suggests that the most
vital action for those in seemingly impossible situations is to maintain composure.
“Stay calm so you can think straight,”
Ellerbe said. “After 30 minutes or an hour
I calmed down enough to think ‘Where is
the road? Where am I? What is in the car

Bad remedy
The Mount Airy News
Victims of medical negligence in North Carolina will now be limited as
to how much they may win in a lawsuit against a doctor.
That is a result of a law going into effect this week, a law passed by
the General Assembly which seemingly strips protections from individuals at the behest of large insurance companies which write malpractice
policies.
The law limits “non-economic damages” to $500,000, which means no
matter the level of pain, or even with the loss of a limb, organ, or sense
such as sight, a person will be limited as to how much he can collect. It
is important to note that victims will still be able to sue for additional
money to pay medical bills, replace lost wages and other identifiable
economic losses.
Essentially, the new law will put doctors on the hook for actual costs
and demonstrable lost income in a malpractice suit, but they will be protected from large judgements outside of those parameters.
This law is bad legislation. How can a legislator sitting in Raleigh possibly understand what the effects of a loss of a limb, or a lifetime of extreme pain, can mean to an individual who might be victim of malpractice
in a week, a year, or a decade? That is one of the purposes of the modern
court system, to empower juries to consider cases on their merits, as
presented in the courtroom.
This law has taken much of that ability away, and we suspect it was
simply the lobbying efforts of insurance companies and the large and
widely profitable medical industry which pushed this through the General
Assembly.

Despite a three-decade effort by the federal government to snuff out cigarette
smoking, 20 percent of Americans — about 45 million — continue to light up. That
percentage has remained steady for several years, and time will tell if the government’s next initiative — graphic warning labels that will appear on packages beginning late next year — will chip away further at
that percentage.
We are pleased that fewer Americans are
smoking than in years past; it’s a nasty habit, one

been lost to the strangulation off the tobacco industry, both directly and peripherally,
but it’s a bunch.
Much of the brick and mortar in this area was constructed with money from tobacco. and more than one fortune was made. That gives tobacco a rich legacy locally,

Is Perdue joking?
Sun Journal
Gov. Bev Perdue made headlines Tuesday when, speaking to the Rotary Club in Cary, she suggested suspending congressional elections
two years so lawmakers in Washington can focus on economic recovery
rather than the next election.
The governor’s words rang out across news outlets faster than the shot
heard ‘round the world. Further explanation came later in the day from
the governor’s spokeswoman Chris Mackey, not the governor herself.
Hyperbole, Mackey claimed, although it was hard to tell from the tone
of Gov. Perdue’s voice and questionable given her call for support of the
idea.
We’re all for Washington politicians focusing on what government can
do to improve the economy; however, giving them longer terms to do
anything, even temporarily, would be a futile exercise.
Drawing on experience as a guide, two more years would grant the
politicians more time to, in the current vernacular, “kick the can down
the road.” Election Day might be more miles away, but it would not be
off the map.
The governor’s idea couldn’t happen without creating a far worse problem than the current economic situation in America.
Terms of U.S. representatives and senators are set out in the Constitution, so how would the next election be suspended? By presidential
decree? By the Congress itself? By the judiciary?
Whatever way, the idea smacks of dictatorial tactics by egomaniacal
leaders. And if something so sinister could happen once in America,
would it then be easier for it to happen again? Suspending the North
Carolina gubernatorial election, for example?
Let’s give the governor the benefit of the doubt and say she was overstating a call for Washington politicians to work together on the serious
problem facing our country.
Raleigh is certainly no Washington when it comes to political cooperation, but the governor is not the best role model for working with a
legislature of a different political persuasion. She was, after all, the first
governor in the history of the state to veto the budget passed by the
General Assembly.
If the governor really is serious about Washington’s role in helping the
economy, there are better ways than giving politicians more time before
facing voters.
Gov. Perdue could use her political influence to urge Congress and the
president to get out of the way of business with their controlling rules
and regulations. She could make her Number 1 job doing everything
possible to attract new jobs to North Carolina and making Tar Heel turf
more fertile for job growth by companies already here.
The good thing about elections is that they give voters an opportunity
to weigh in on the job their officials are doing. Those who aren’t getting
the job done don’t need more time to lollygag and overreach, they need
to be replaced by those who will lead the country into better days.

Memorist offers advice to students
Staff report
“What are you doing to live your
life outside the box?”
Memoirist Adam Shepard posed
this question to start his presentation Thursday evening in the Morris Morgan Theatre of St. Andrews
University.
Shepard, the author of Scratch Beginnings: Me, $25 and the Search for
the American Dream, shared the origins of the journey that changed the
course of his life with the audience
of students, faculty, staff and community members.
“My summer after my freshman
year of college I came back to Raleigh and didn’t want a regular 9 to
5 job,” he said. “I passed flyers out
saying I would do anything for $10
an hour.”
The flyers resulted in him securing 100 hours of summer work to be
performed in the mornings. This allowed him to earn money and enjoy
his summer.
“At the end of the summer she
gave me $1,000 and a copy of the
book Nickel and Dimed,” Shepard
said. “I read the book that night and I
said to myself, ‘this cannot be right.’
I went back the next day and told her
I was going to write the rebuttal.”
Shepard returned to school and
completed his degree at Merrimack
College. Following graduation, he
pursued his dream of playing professional basketball.
“My professional basketball career
lasted 24 to 36 hours,” he shared. “I
paid the way to go to the combine
myself. I was 2 for 29 from the field,
but I had no fallback plan. I was told
in many languages, ‘Thank you, have
a safe flight home.’ It was a grand
failure in my life.”
That devastation gave Shepard the
motivation to act on the rebuttal to

Nickel and Dimed.
“In my mind, I had planned on
staying over in Europe,” Shepard
recounted. “I had $100 left when I
returned. I took my dad out to eat,
bought the train ticket to Charleston
and had around $25 left. I just went
and did it. If I had waited, if I had
done more planning, I would have
talked myself out of it.”
The plan was to go to a new city
with a sleeping bag, the clothes on
his back and $25. His goal was to
have, after one year, $2,500, a working automobile and a furnished apartment.
During the train ride, Shepard had
very specific ideas about how things
would go. While he expected a job
within three days, by the time day 10
rolled around, he was still without a
job.
“I came home and was complaining
to the guys at the homeless shelter,”
Shepard said. “Now, a homeless guy
will tell you exactly what you are
thinking. Whatever is on his mind,
he will tell you. And I was talking to
Phil Coleman and he gave me the
slap on the butt that I needed.”
Shepard read a section of his book
1181–1226.
“At the informal service,
hymns will be sung and
prayers said, and a brief
meditation will be offered,”
said Abernathy.
“To make sure this event
is a happy one for all attending, please do leash or oth-
where Coleman told him, “You gotta
go down to these managers and be
like, ‘Look here homeboy. You need
me. I’m the best worker you’re
gonna find, so hire me or not.’”
“Here I am, the King of the American Dream, going to show how hard
work and perseverance will pay off
and some stinking homeless guy
gives me a piece of really sage advice,” Shepard shared. “I got the job
because of the initiative that came
from Phil Coleman.”
Shepard summed up the life lesson
simply.
“You either go 0 percent or 100
percent,” he said. “It was a valuable
lesson I picked up. It can be applied
to your professional life, your social
life and your academic life. You have
the opportunity to leave here with
a very valuable education. What are
you doing to have your experience
outside the box?”
Shepard’s appearance at St. Andrews was funded by a grant from
the North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities College Access Network. The event is part of
a program to help first year students
succeed in college.
erwise contain your animal

of inclement weather, the

Representatives of the

the event, and an offering
will be taken to assist in its
work. Prayers of blessing
will be said over each animal presented.

people that populated this area be forgotten,” Caudill said.
The games will feature athletic competitions for children and adults, Scottish
music, sheep dog demonstrations, Scottish dancing, piping and drumming competitions, pipe band competitions, historical
and genealogical information and Scottish
food.
About 45 clans, organizations and societies will be participating this year and clans
will have tents set up where people can go
to learn about their genealogy. The honored guest will be Iain Morris MacFie, the
commander of Clan MacFie.
The day will offer both individual and
pipe band competition featuring 13 bands
from all over the Southeast. There will also
be a day-long assortment of entertainment
on the music and dance stage and more
than 50 solo piping and drumming competitors.
More than 40 athletes will participate
in the adult competition, which includes
the open stone, during which participants
throw a stone weighing 16 to 22 pounds;
the heavy weight throw; the light weight
throw; the Scottish hammer throw; the
turning of the caber, during which the
participant throws a tree; the sheaf toss,
during which the athlete throws tosses a
bundle of twine with a pitchfork; and the
weight over bar.
“A lot of these athletic events had their
roots in Scottish farm life like the sheaf
toss,” said Chandler Stewart, the treasurer
of the event. “It’s like farmers in the field
having to use pitchforks to spear hay and
throw it.”
Five of top amateur Scottish athletes in
the world are competing in a single division. Two brothers from Iceland, Thor and
Johann Gylfasson, John Owen, from Hendersonville, and Ted Leger from Clover,
S.C. will be showcasing their abilities.
“We’ve got a current world record holder
who will be here,” Caudill said. “So there’s
a possibility of a world record being broken
in some of our athletic events.”
Children can get in on the action by participating in scaled-down versions of the
events if they are present and registered
by 11:30 a.m.
The day’s festivities continue at 7:30
p.m. with a Ceilidh and Wine Tasting at
Cypress Bend Vineyards, located at 21904
Riverton Road in Wagram. There will be a
$10 admission charge at door.

Fighting Scots’ thunder buries Rams

Lonnell Henderson (52) brings down Purnell Swett quarterback Chase Armstrong for a sack in Scotland’s 42-26 victory
over the Rams Friday night.
Even though a quick shower made its way through
Pembroke, N.C., Friday night, it was the Fighting
Scots’ football team that brought the thunder to “Big
Mo” Stadium, outlasting Purnell Swett 42-26 in Scotland’s first Southeastern Conference clash of the season.
Scotland (6-0, 1-0) battled through a late start, turnovers and untimely penalties to move to 1-0 in the
league, revving up their offense in the fourth quarter
to break away from the Rams in a defensive struggle.
Scotland quarterback Kwashaun Quick picked up
138 yards on the ground on just 10 carries, while
throwing a pair of touchdowns through the air to help
the Fighting Scots earn their sixth win of the season
and stay out of the loss column.
Scotland’s Caison Murphy added two scores on the
ground, while running mate Tony McRae picked up
120 rushing yards in the second half to break open a
deadlocked contest.
“First of all, you have to give a lot of credit to Purnell Swett,” Scotland head coach Chip Williams said.

Hayes Memorial Tournament draws big crowd
Matt Smith
S ports Editor
Optimist Park opened its gates last weekend
for the Second Annual Phillip Hayes Memorial
Softball Invitational Tournament, welcoming over
two dozen teams to honor former Optimist Club
President and 3-time Optimist of the Year, Phillip
Hayes.
The former Optimist Baseball Board Commissioner dedicated almost two decades of service
to the Optimist Club, serving thousands of youths
each summer on the baseball field.
In just its second year, the memorial tournament drew a crowd of over 1,300 softball players,
coaches and fans on Sept. 24-25.
The Laurinburg Hot Sticks, Carolina Pride and
Scotland Heat represented Scotland County in
three different divisions at the 25-team event.
Tournament director and Scotland Heat head
coach Wayne Butler said the tournament was
a great success and will help fund the Optimist
Club’s Phillip Hayes Memorial Scholarship which
provides a scholarship to a college bound student
that participated in Optimist softball.
“I thought the tournament went great,” Butler
said. “Everyone was very supportive and we had
great community support from local businesses.
We not only raised money for Phillip’s memorial
fund, but we also brought in a lot of people to
Scotland County. I know Phillip would have been
proud of the turnout.”
The tournament hosted 10-and-under, 12-andunder, 14-and-under and a high school divisions.
The Richmond Thunder took home top honors
in the six-team 10-and-under division. The Laurinburg Hot Sticks, coached by John Ridge, finished
third overall in just their second tournament.
The Sumter Shockers finished first overall in
the 12-and-under division, with the Carolina Pride
placing third in the division. The 10-and-under
team, coached by Randy McCall, placed in the
top-3 of the five-team field after moving up an age
division.

“They did a great job and had a
great offensive game plan. They
threw out a couple of things that we
weren’t prepared for. I think defensively we ended up fighting, despite
the fact that we gave 26 points up.
I thought we fought pretty well. We
made some mistakes and will have
to get back out on the practice
field, but we’ll continue to improve.
“Offensively, I didn’t think we
went after them as much as we
should early on,” he said. “Our
offensive line was kind of sitting
back. We came on as the game progressed. Winners win and we did
that tonight.”
Embattled in a back-and-forth
struggle heading late into the
fourth quarter, Scotland’s offense
turned up the heat on the Rams
while holding just a slim 29-26 lead
with 5:19 left in the contest.
McRae set the Fighting Scots up
deep in Rams’ territory, crossing
midfield on a 44-yard run to put

The Saints rebounded
with a win on Sept. 29
against Northwood Tem-
35-26, running 25 yards into the
end zone for his third score of the
night.
McRae added a late touchdown
with 1:53 left in the contest to end
the Rams’ comeback bid, scoring
on a 12-yard scamper to push the
Fighting Scots’ margin to 42-26,
clinching Scotland’s first SEC victory of the season.
Williams said that the win was
huge for Scotland, as they start 1-0
in SEC play for the second year in
a row.
“Getting the win, especially on
the road, was huge,” Williams said.
“Everybody in our league can beat
us and we can beat everybody in
the league. It’s that simple. Each
and every Friday night is going to
be a huge challenge.”
The Rams kicked off the game
with a 20-yard touchdown run, taking a 7-0 lead before Murphy found
the end zone on a 3-yard run for his
first score of the night to tie the
game at 7-7.
Scotland took a 14-7 lead when
Quick found tailback Travis Wall
on a 40-yard touchdown pass in the

start of the third quarter, claiming

Scotland took the lead for good

pushing ahead 29-19 after Murphy
found the end zone on a 2-yard
touchdown run and a 30-yard pass
from Quick.
The Rams scored their final

game, as Armstrong found wideout Dillon Oxendine for a 20-yard

The Scotland Heat rounded out the
Scotland County tournament participants with a second place finish in
the 14-and-under division. The Heat
made it to the championship game
after running through the consolation
bracket, but fell to the Moore County
Breeze in the title game.
The Rockingham Chaos finished
first overall in the high school division.
In all, 62 ball games were played
over two days on four fields at Optimist Park.
Hayes’ mother, Catherine Hayes
Marvin, who was in attendance for
the tournament’s opening day, said
that the tournament was a great memorial to her son’s work with the Optimist Club.
“It’s just awesome,” Marvin said.
“It’s overwhelming the number of
teams that have come and supported
us and prayed for us. They’ve been a
great help. I know Phillip would be
excited to see everyone here. I’m
sure he’s looking down on us and is
seeing what great things are going
on.”
The tournament grew to 25 teams
this season after hosting just 14
teams last year.
“This is one of the things that Phillip really loved,” outgoing Optimist
Club President Jamie Sutherland said.
“He loved having people at the ball
park and having fun. There’s nothing
better than to give that back to him
and support the scholarship fund that
Optimist has set up for him.”

The Laurinburg Exchange
A's part ways
with 3 members
of coaching staff
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Bob Melvin wasted no time
making changes to his Oakland coaching staff after receiving a new three-year deal last week to stay put as
manager.
The Athletics said Friday they aren't renewing the
contracts of bench coach Joel Skinner, pitching coach
Ron Romanick and hitting coach Gerald Perry. First base
coach Tye Waller and third base coach Mike Gallego will
return to the staff in 2012. Bullpen coach Rick Rodriguez
will be considered a candidate for his same position next
year.
Melvin took over for the fired Bob Geren in June and
went 47-52 the rest of the way, including 35-35 after the
All-Star break. The A's finished their fifth straight year
without a winning record or playoff berth since being
swept by the Tigers in the 2006 AL championship series.
"A lot of the coaches
who are here right now
“A lot of the

Having said that, as a
manager, you do want
some of the guys you
—Bob Melvin
feel close to around you
that get your message
across and know really what you're all about."
The 49-year-old Melvin, who also managed the Mariners and Arizona, plans to fill the positions in the coming
weeks.
It's expected he will offer Phil Garner a spot, perhaps
as bench coach. Melvin coached for Milwaukee under
Garner, hired as an A's adviser in August. They worked
together with the Tigers, too.
Garner has said he would need to run any potential job
offer or decision by his wife, Carol, considering "I already
told her I'd retire — twice."
Oakland was his first major league club, and he would
give Melvin an experienced right-hand man.
Garner managed the Brewers, Detroit and Houston
Astros.
Garner owns a 985-1,054 career managerial record
over 15 seasons. A three-time All-Star, Garner delivered
the 10,000th hit in Oakland history against the California
Angels on June 27, 1975.
Also Friday, the A's announced they have received
22-year-old outfielder Eliezer Mesa from Colorado to
complete the trade that sent Mark Ellis to the Rockies
on June 30.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday,
Oct. 1, 2011:
Your energy attracts many people.
Opportunities easily can come from
day-to-day conversations and meetings. You don’t need to go far to meet
people or to network. Envisioning your
goals will be instrumental in manifesting them. You are fortunate with oneon-one relating, close friendships and/
or partnerships. If you are single, date
for a while before committing. Resist
being influenced by what your friends
think. It is what you think that counts.
If you are attached, the two of you
need to have some old-fashioned dating to add more fire to your relationship. You might love how bonded you
become. SAGITTARIUS has much to
share.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH In case you are not, just
pretend that you are cool with everything that is happening. Detach and
see why, although you might have a
lot invested in an outcome, you could
be compliant with another result. Your
ability to create great, fun ideas marks
the moment. Tonight: Say “yes” to an
unexpected offer.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHHH Dealing with others can
take a lot out of anyone. Your stamina
is very high, as is your ability to center
and hold onto an idea, especially one
of your ideas. A partner might try to
change your mind. Maybe listening a
little wouldn’t hurt. Tonight: Go along
with a suggestion.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH Listen to news and understand what is happening within a
limited network of friends. Remain
assured that you will break into new
territory and it won’t be boring. Open
up to new possibilities. Tonight: So
many friends and so much fun.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHH You are part of a situation
that goes in a new direction. You
have spunk. Your ability to communicate comes forth. You understand
the role of being flexible with a parent.
Flow with the moment. Tonight: A
must appearance.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH This morning, the kid in
you awakens. Whatever form it takes
proves to be a delight for you and for
others. Go out if you can, and choose
a physical activity you love —e.g., hik-
ing, walking through a favorite part of
the city or whatever your preference
is. Share this same passion with a
loved one. Tonight: You are the party!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHH It might become apparent
that you need to invest some money
and/or time in a domestic situation.
Eventually you will have to focus
on this matter, whether a partner or
friend thinks otherwise. Why not now?
Tonight: Close to home.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH Your ability to hold a conversation and bring others out helps
seal a potential friendship. Just know
that what you consider a good time,
he or she might not. Honor your differences as much as your similarities.
Tonight: With favorite people.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHH Be aware of how far you
can go with this bon vivant, indulgent attitude. Everyone has limits
—you included. Someone you look
up to could be unusually contrary.
Responsibilities must be met. Tonight:
Indulging a little doesn’t have to break
the bank.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHHH Your energy renews
your life, relationships and anyone
else fortunate enough to come across
your path. Your creativity emerges.
Others find that going along with one
or two of your ideas is a lot better
than they thought. Tonight: The action
surrounds you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HH Whether at the movies or
taking a walk, your thoughts are private. You might need some time to
work through an issue. Take it now.
Having an irritant on the back burner
only sabotages your life. Clear it out.
Tonight: Vanish while you can.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Make perfect plans in
order to make this a close-to-perfect
day! For you, friendship means a
lot. Your activities need to involve a
friend, or many friends. Keep it light
and fun. A loved one could be feisty.
Tonight: Just don’t be alone.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHHH Your ability to withstand
pressure and handle a difficult situation comes forward. Your resourcefulness allows for a greater sense of
closeness between you and someone
you care very much about. Tonight: A
force to be dealt with.

St. Pierre lifts Blue Jackets
Rangers lose 9-0, can't
recover from Wilson's woes over Hurricanes 3-2
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — C.J. Wilson
wanted to lead the Texas Rangers the way
Cliff Lee did last postseason.
It didn't work out, at least not in Game 1.
Wilson gave up eight runs in five innings
and Texas' powerful lineup looked meek
against one of the most inexperienced pitchers in playoff history, sending the Rangers
to a 9-0 loss to Tampa Bay in the opener of
the AL division series Friday.
Wilson was tagged for the most runs
since he was a rookie in 2005, a horrible
feat for a guy looking for a big contract this
offseason. The left-hander gave up his first
homer to a lefty batter since May 31, then
his first three-run homer since May 9. He
wound up allowing three multiple-run homers, after giving up only four such drives all
season.
"The ball was kind of squirting out, not
going where I wanted it to," Wilson said. "I
had some decent speed on the ball, my cutter was OK, but my location was bad."
Equally jarring for Texas was its hitters
getting shut down by Matt Moore, a hardthrowing rookie left-hander who'd thrown
only 9 1-3 innings in the big leagues. The
Rangers had only two hits over seven innings against him, both by Josh Hamilton.
Only a single runner got as far as third base.
The fourth through seventh hitters — Michael Young, Adrian Beltre, Mike Napoli
and Nelson Cruz — went a combined 0 for
14. The biggest surprise was Napoli going
0 for 3 with two strikeouts considering he
hit .383 after the All-Star break and .407 in
seven games against the Rays this season.
"We talked about it in our meetings that
(Moore's) a little erratic. But he didn't seem
that way today," Hamilton said. "It was
out of character for us to not jump on the
pitches we saw."
The home team losing should be no surprise considering the visitors won all five
postseason games when these teams met
last year. Texas will try to reverse that trend
in Game 2 on Saturday night, with Derek
Holland facing Tampa Bay's James Shields.
Wilson noted the Rangers lost Game 1 of
the ALCS to the Yankees last year, but won
the series.
"We have always bounced back, and we
will bounce back," manager Ron Washington said. "We have a five-game series here.
They got the first one. I don't think it matters if they won 1-0 or 9-0. We got beat. We
can take that. We'll bounce back tomorrow."
In this round last year, Lee allowed only
RALEIGH (AP) — Martin St. Pierre
scored with 8:25 remaining to give the
Columbus Blue Jackets a 3-2 win over
the Carolina Hurricanes in a preseason
game Friday night.
Alexandre Giroux and R.J. Umberger also scored for the Blue Jackets, who finished the preseason with
a 5-2-1 record. Columbus will open the
regular season Oct. 7 at home against
Nashville.
two runs over 16 innings in two starts
against the Rays, carrying the Rangers to
the first playoff series win in franchise history and putting them on their way to their
first World Series. He left in free agency,
but Texas won a franchise-best 96 games
this season and Wilson led the way with 16
victories.
Still, Wilson took the mound Friday knowing he needed to be Lee-like this postseason
to prove he's among the true aces in baseball. History was on his side considering the
first shutout of his career came against the
Rays just a few weeks ago, and he'd given
up only five runs over three starts against
them this season.
But the runs came early and often. Tampa
Bay scored three runs in the second inning,
three more in the third and two in fifth.
Johnny Damon got it started with a tworun homer — "I think it was the first time
he's ever pulled it off me," Wilson said —
then Kelly Shoppach drove in the next five
runs with a pair of homers, each going more
than 410 feet.
"Johnny hitting that home run helped
people relax," said Shoppach, who became
the first hitter with three career homers
against Wilson. "When any pitcher, no matter who it is, is falling behind hitters and
they get a chance to get a better chance at
getting a fastball to hit, you get a chance to
do some damage."
After Shoppach's second homer, Wilson
shook his head, then swiped his red glove
across the rubber, as if he was hitting a
reset button. Team president Nolan Ryan
watched from the front row with a steely
look, his arms crossed.
Wilson retired the next batter, then heard
a smattering of boos as he headed to the
dugout, perhaps for the last time as a member of the Rangers.
He gave up seven hits, walked one and hit
a batter. Two of his runs were unearned because of a throwing error by Beltre, a Gold
Glove third baseman, with two out and nobody on base in his final inning.
Wilson said nothing bothered him coming in, not having pitched 3½ days before,
the pressure of the postseason and impending free agency or the unusual 4 p.m. game
time.
"It felt just like a home start," Wilson said.
"I slept fine. Everything was normal. ... It
just all gets back to bad location."
The meltdown continues a downward
trend for Wilson in the postseason.
Patrick Dwyer and Jussi Jokinen had
the Hurricanes' goals. Carolina (1-4-0)
travels to Nashville for its final preseason game before opening the regular season against Tampa Bay.
The Hurricanes have scored only six
goals in their four preseason losses.
Both teams used their top goalies.
Steve Mason made 35 saves for the
Blue Jackets, while Cam Ward had 29
for the Hurricanes.
NOTICE OF A CITZENS’ INFORMATIONAL WORKSHOP
FOR IMPROVING SAFETY AND TRAFFIC FLOW AT THE
INTERSECTION OF U.S. 74 AND MURDOCK STREET
(STATE ROAD 1251) / CHURCH STREET (STATE ROAD
1312) IN LAUREL HILL
WBS #: 43308.1.1
Scotland County
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT)
will hold the above Citzens’ Informational Workshop on Thursday,
October 13, 2011, between the hours of 4-7 p.m. at the Laurel Hill
Community Center, located at 14940 Church Street in Laurel Hill.
The purpose of this public meeting is for NCDOT representatives to display maps, provide information and answer questions about
the project. The opportunity to submit written comments also will be
provided and is encouraged. There will not be a formal presentation.
NCDOT proposes to make the following safety improvements
at the intersection of U.S. 74 and Murdock Street/Church Street in
Laurel Hill:
1) Construct a directional-crossover (right-turns for traffic coming out of Murdock and Church streets onto U.S. 74; and left turns
from both directions of U.S. 74 onto Murdock and Church Street); and
2) Provide a directional U-turn 1,000 feet east of the existing
intersection.
The proposed improvements will improve safety and traffic
flow at the intersection.
For more information regarding the proposed project, please
contact NCDOT Regional Traffic Engineer Kelly Becker at
(919) 773-2890 or via email at [email protected].
NCDOT will provide auxiliary aids and services under the
Americans with Disabilities Act for disabled persons who want to participate in this meeting. Anyone requiring special services should contact Ms. Becker as early as possible so that arrangements can be made.
