Stressing that contemporary American culture has “lost the power of the Christian funeral,” Emory University professor the Rev. Dr. Thomas G. Long re-cently offered suggestions to a Scotland audience on how the ritual could be brought back to its historical origins.

“The old idea was that as mourners we join the deceased along part of his or her journey as a way of assisting the person, but now it is all about the grief of the living,” Long told the group of area clergy and funeral directors.

“We’ve shifted to grief manage-ment rather than a public procla-mation of death. As a culture, we are the first people in history to make this transition.”

The author or editor of some 19 books on preaching and wor-ship, Long spoke to the group last week in the fellowship hall of First Methodist Church in Laurin-

burg. Approximately 50 funeral directors and clergymen from as far away as Winston-Salem heard Long’s address, much of which covered topics in his most re-cently released volume, “Accom-pany Them with Singing: The Christian Funeral”.

Long cited numerous examples of ways he considered a funeral service could be better returned to its traditional base. In an ear-

lier interview Long said that early Christians “were washing and anointing the bodies of their dead, they were putting them in baptismal garments, and in broad daylight, with psalms and hymns … taking the person to be given to God”.

In contrast, Long said, today the body “is removed from view

Laurinburg native goes ‘Extreme’John LentzJLentz@HeartlandPublications.comStaff RepoRteR

Laurinburg native Michelle Eng-lish took part as a volunteer with the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition television program when the crew re-cently visited Fayetteville to build a home for a woman and her son who offer housing and support to home-less female veterans.

Incubator plans approvedJohn LentzJLentz@HeartlandPublications.comStaff RepoRteR

The board of the Scotland County Economic Development Corporation has given approval to the next phase of the Laurinburg-Scotland County Business Incubator Project.

Board Member and Laurinburg Mayor Pro-Tem Tommy Parker made the motion to give Scotland County Economic Director Greg Icard “the nod” in moving ahead with the process of finding an engineering firm for the $1 million project designed to fuel economic growth in the county. County Commission Chairman Bob Davis seconded the motion.

“We will hopefully begin the process next week by sending out advertisements, and then choose an engineering firm for the job after

a 15-day period, when we will collect the re-sponses and look for the most qualified engi-neers,” Icard said.

“Hopefully by November we will have our design completed. There will be quite a bit of paperwork to be done, followed by approval of the Economic Development Administration. Construction could begin as early as January.”

The site is located near the intersection of the U.S. Highway 401 bypass and Heck Nor-ton Road.

“The 20 to 22,000 foot building will take ap-proximately six months to construct, so hope-fully by the end of June we will have completed the structure,” Icard said.

Funding for the project comes from an

and cared for in a private place, and many memorial services take place with-out the body of the deceased.

“We are the first generation for whom the presence of the deceased at their own funeral is unnecessary or even un-desirable,” he said.

Referring to the book, Long discussed “the eight virtues of funerals”, using what he called “education” as one ex-ample.

“What as clergy do we owe a stranger in the house of God, someone who has come to grieve at a funeral but may not be a part of the Christian community?” he asked the assembly. “Some ministers take this opportunity to evangelize the relatives of the deceased, but this is tak-ing advantage of people. I urge you to show hospitality and don’t evangelize.”

Long used the Danish Christian phi-losopher and theologian Soren Kierkeg-aard to emphasize his point.

“One day Kierkegaard walked by a cemetery where he saw a grandfather and a boy standing at the grave of the old man’s son and the young man’s father. As the grandfather was trying to explain why the boy should continue to believe in a loving God in light of their tragedy, Kierkegaard said he never heard the gospel expressed so powerfully as when it was overheard.

“In other words, there are better ways to transmit the gospel than in a direct assault at a funeral.”

In another example, Long cited a woman who was jogging in New York City’s Central Park, attempting to deal with the crushing emotional news that her son was terminally ill.

“She passed by an Episcopal Church that had a glass door, and as she stopped and looked inside, she saw the congrega-tion in place. She was so touched that she thought to herself, ‘These people don’t fear death.’

“What a wonderful thing it would be if a visitor to the service you direct thinks that the people here don’t fear death.”

Long concluded his lecture with a question and answer session from the audience.

In response to one questioner ask-ing Long what he thought of a pastor expressing the imagery of the deceased in heaven, “smiling down” on everyone, Long said that it was a “dangerous” image to convey.

“This reminds me of a funeral where the preacher said the deceased woman was so happy in heaven that ‘she wouldn’t come back for anything’. As you can imagine, these were not very comforting words for her grieving hus-band.”

Another questioner was concerned with conducting a service for one whose life was “not particularly praiseworthy.”

“Acknowledge that we have received gifts from the deceased, and stress grati-tude but not scorekeeping in reference to his or her life,” Long said.

“Funerals are meant to be therapeu-tic,” he said. “A funeral heals, or announces that healing will come, that the mourners will come to a place where grief will be lifted.”

One critic said that with this “Accompany Them with Singing: The Christian Funeral”, Long “has written the quintessential book on

the theology of Christian funerals, if not a primer on the theology of Christian dealing with death. (He) draws a line in the sand against those who insist in seeing the body as nothing more than a shell. In doing so, he is forced to deal with the tension found in Scripture of waiting for the resurrection and imme-diately being with God upon death. His solution is rather unique and convincing … Long sees the Funeral of a Christian as the story of the Gospel itself.”

Audience members praised Long’s presentation following the lecture.

“He was very informative, and gave depth to what we are already doing in terms of a Christian funeral,” said the Rev. Mike McGehee of Red Springs Presbyterian Church. “Dr. Long brought a broader perspective to what the church does in its regular practice.”

Long is the Bandy Professor of Preaching at Candler School of Theol-ogy, Emory University, Atlanta, Ga. He is ordained in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). In 1996, he was named one of the 12 most effective preachers in the English speaking world by Baylor Uni-versity.

The event was jointly sponsored by McDougald Funeral Home of Laurin-burg and McPhatter Funeral Home of Laurel Hill.

$800,000 contribution from the U.S. De-partment of Commerce – Economic Devel-opment Administration this past August, and from a $200,000 grant received by the development corporation from the Golden Leaf Foundation earlier this year.

Businesses that participate in the program will have the opportunity to locate their operation in the incubator building, where they can develop and grow their businesses for a period of three to five years.

“At that point they typically would be a in a position to expand to a larger building, expand their workforce, and move into more or less a full-scale operation,” Icard said.

Richmond Community College will be a partner in the incubator, with its Small Business Center, Small Business Technol-ogy Development Center, Career Readiness Certificate training, and industrial training staff assigned to the incubator location.

In a statement to the economic develop-ment board, RCC Workforce and Develop-ment Vice President Steve Smith said the college “reiterated its support” for the incu-bator’s development.

“This project continues to complement many of the current initiatives our Work-force and Development unit is implementing in the areas of customized training for in-dustry, small business, and entrepreneurial training,” he said.

Smith said that college officials look for-ward to “a true collaboration” that would

“maximize the success of your operation while providing a new level of customer ser-vice to our shared clientele and small busi-ness base.”

Icard said that according to statistics, ap-proximately 87 percent of businesses that pass through an incubator survive in con-trast to a 44-45 percent survival rate for those who do not.

“Local entrepreneurs will have access to counseling, mentoring, training, startup capital, and incubator space in order to in-crease their chances of success,” Icard said.

Plans call for the construction of three manufacturing bays within the building, one at 8000 square feet and two others at 4000 square feet each.

“Each bay will contain a small reception/office area with restrooms and will have ac-cess to a roll-up door and a loading dock,” Icard said.

“Part of the building will include a con-ference room, a training room, space for entrepreneurs, and offices for the Scotland County EDC.”

Icard said the incubator is expected to cre-ate 60 new jobs and leverage an additional $2 million in private investment over a pe-riod of time.

“The incubator will provide stability for economic development through long-term public and private collaboration and will help support the growth of existing and emerging industries,” he said.

Icard said that with the grant funding in place, the incubator can be built “at no cost to the county.”

English said that she “may or may not” be on camera when the show airs.

“We shot a scene that involved the greenhouse they built that had a veg-etable chute, like the kind you see at a bank, which was built to deliver the vegetables from the garden to the kitchen in the house. We shot that about 12 times, with host Ty Pennington calling out “Can you build it?” and us volunteers responding, “yes we can”. But I don’t know if I will be in the final scene or not.”

Lamb joins practiceScotland Health Care System’s

newest physician comes to Laurin-burg following completion of a four-year residency program at Harvard that allows her to specialize in both internal medicine and pediatrics.

Dr. Ashley Lamb joins Harris Fam-ily Practice in providing health care to patients of all ages. She earned her undergraduate degree from Yale University in Biomedical Engineering.

“I love the science of bio-medical engineering, but felt I was too far removed from the people I wanted to help,” she said. “For a while I was an EMT and worked at an all-boy’s summer camp. I loved taking care of the kids and other counselors so I decided medical school was the right place for me. Taking care of others is my great passion in life.”

Before entering medical school, Dr. Lamb spent a year in Ameri-CorpsNCCC, serving in four states and one U.S. territory. During that year she helped build houses, tutor children, and offered disaster relief.

While earning her medical degree from the University of North Caro-lina in Chapel Hill, Dr. Lamb also earned a Master’s in Public Health. She then moved to Massachusetts for a four-year residency training program at the Harvard Associated Massachusetts General Hospital In-ternal Medicine and Pediatrics Resi-dency Program, where she served as Chief Resident in her fourth year.

“During residency I alternated tak-

ing care of adults and children every three months. I am excited to get to take care of both every day now at Harris Family Practice,” she said.

Taking care of patients through the whole lifespan is Dr. Lamb’s goal.

“During my residency I loved car-ing for entire families,” she commented. “I love taking care of both adults and chil-dren and getting to know the family unit.”

Dr. Lamb is no stranger to North Carolina and is very ex-cited about returning to the state to practice medicine.

“The majority of my family, except for my parents, live in

the Chapel Hill area,” she said. “My nearby family members are excited about my move to Laurinburg and hope this move will entice my par-ents to join the rest of us here in North Carolina.”

While Dr. Lamb’s main joy is spending time with friends and fam-ily, she also loves outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, swimming, tennis and ice hockey. Ashley’s hus-band, Bert, is a software engineer for IBM who works from home. He is a big Carolina Hurricanes fan, plays the drums, and likes to have cookouts with friends.

The couple has a one-year old son named Simon.

There will be an open house at Harris Family Practice on October 18, from 5 to 7 p.m. Appointments can be scheduled with by calling the practice at 276-6767.

SAT scoresRichmond Times-Dispatch, Va.

Who could blame Tom Ross for pausing a bit over this question: Do you regret taking the job as University of North Carolina system president?

On Tuesday, the day he stopped by for a chat with the Observer’s editorial board, plas-tered across our front page was this headline grabber, “UNC football takes a big hit.” The story detailed NCAA violations at the system’s flagship university’s football program, and the school’s self-imposed punishment including vacating wins from two seasons, a loss of scholarships and a $50,000 fine. Head coach Butch Davis was fired in July. The charges, involving academic and other misconduct, have put an unflattering national spotlight on both the UNC system and UNC.

Still Ross has had a much bigger headache to deal with since he was chosen president a year ago this August. And the results of this headache are already visible across the state this year in the 17-campus UNC system.

With state revenues down in a struggling economy, N.C. lawmakers slashed $414 million from the university system during the recent legislative session. That averaged about 15.6 percent in budget cuts across the system. Over a five-year period, the state cuts have topped $1 billion, Ross has said.

For a public university system with schools touted nationally as academically excellent and the best value for dollars spent, the results of the cuts are troubling.

UNC Asheville officials report that this year students are delaying enrollment or taking leaves of absence because they can’t afford school. Other schools are packing twice as many students in classrooms because of fewer teachers.

“For the most part in the past quality wasn’t affected,” Ross told the Observer. “This year’s different. There are more cuts on the academic side.”

Thousands of faculty jobs are gone, and thousands fewer classes are being offered, he said. The impact over time will be a delay in graduation for many students, as classes are not offered or not offered in sequence. Some students will have to attend an extra semester or two to get the course they need. That will make education more costly for the student and for taxpayers, Ross said.

“I believe we’re still offering an excellent education,” he said. “But we’re educating more students with fewer resources… This is not going to be without pain and impact on students.”

One of the costs to the university system has been its ability to retain the “best and brightest” faculty.

“We used to have a fund that helped us keep” our star faculty, Ross said. But that’s nearly gone. The fund was set up in 2006 with state appropriations and was used to make counteroffers when top faculty were approached with bigger salaries, better benefits and other perks from other schools. But the nearly-depleted fund and overall legislative cuts have put the system in a vulnerable position.

The impact is being felt. At UNC, 87 faculty members had written job offers from other universities in 2009-2010. The university made 61 counteroffers and retained just 29, according to data provided to the News & Observer.

Ross and the university system are urging state lawmakers to replenish the fund. They should if they want to maintain the excellent academic reputation that the system enjoys.

Ross said the university system really “felt the shockwave” of the slashes in state funding this year. “Further cuts will be difficult,” he said.Next year he hopes for more not less from state lawmakers to maintain the quality of higher education and access to it that North Carolinians need .

Legislators could have helped more this year, if they had kept in place a temporary sales tax. They unwisely eliminated it.

Ross said he and the university system will make its case, as it did this year, to state lawmakers about the good investment that the system is. Let’s all hope for a better outcome.

Ross was silent a little longer than I anticipated in answering that question about regrets, but he did answer. The pause had more to do with remembering fondly his last post as president of Davidson College. The new job is tough but enjoyable and worth-while, he said.

Good thing it is. He gets inaugurated on Oct. 6 at N.C. A&T in his hometown of Greensboro.

Flono is a Charlotte Observer associate editor.

“SAT Reading Scores Hit Lowest Point in Decades,” read a headline about the latest results from the College Boards. There has been far too little attention paid to this outrage.

That likely has to do with the way the results were explained away: A broader pool of test-takers is reaching deeper into the ranks of poor and minority students, who are more likely to pursue higher education — and isn’t that wonderful?

It is, and would suffice as an explanation if it actually accounted for what was going on. But it does not. It does not explain, for example, why white students’ scores have remained flat, whereas Asian students’ scores have climbed steadily and scores among black and Hispanic students have dipped. Has the cohort of Asian students taking the SAT been getting smaller and more elite while the other racial cohorts have grown larger and more diverse? Not likely.

The drop in reading scores is alarming on many levels. As the University of Virginia’s E.D. Hirsch explained recently, reading ability correlates highly with both thinking ability and future success in life. The latest scores bode ill for many blacks and Hispanics, and for the egalitarian ideal.

While scores have been falling, two other things also have been happening:n Education spending has been rising. Per-pupil spending in the U.S., after adjusting

for inflation, has risen from $5,593 in 1970 to more than $12,000 today.n Class sizes have been shrinking. Between 1970 and today the average class size has

been cut in half.So: Spending has doubled, class sizes have been halved, and test scores have plunged.

Please remember those three facts the next time you hear the National Education As-sociation insist that the way to fix the schools is to give teachers fewer students and more money.

Family dayThe Hutchinson News, Kas.

Monday is national Family Day, and the National Center on Addiction and Child Abuse at Columbia University is using the day — as it does every year — to encourage families to sit down and eat dinner together.

The organization officially launched the day in 2001 to highlight the important role the simple act of sitting down to dinner can have on a family. CASA also pointed out that kids that regularly eat dinner with their families are less likely to use smoke, drink or use drugs.

That the critical role of a family sitting down to share food together has been placed somewhere between the season premier of Two and a Half Men and Monday Night Football is regrettable. That it is necessary to form a holiday of sorts to remind people of this important function is embarrassing.

Without a doubt, it is harder today than it was a generation ago for families to spend quality time together. There is an ever demanding workload — with both parents employed, sometimes with second and third jobs, just to make ends meet. There are after-school activities for the kids and civic duties for the par-ents. In between, there might be a little time to take care of household chores.

Yet the most important civic duty any mother or father can perform is to dedicate some time — including regular dinner meetings — to their families. Among the work a person has to do, the work of caring for a family is the most important, and most rewarding.

While the concept of a family day is a good-hearted way to highlight the impor-tance of families, it is a day that would be completely unnecessary if each of us could dedicate a little more time every day to our families.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The governors of New York, New Jer-sey, Pennsylvania and North Carolina have told Congress to do its part to help thousands of tropical storm vic-tims.

They say federal law-makers must put poli-tics aside to free up

disaster relief funds for people facing bil-lions of dollars in dam-age along the Eastern Seaboard.

The state executives say the help is needed because local, regional and national economies are suffering from the damage caused by storms Irene and Lee.

‘Born teacher’ retiresStaff report

After 30 years of teaching more than 1,000 students in the Associate Degree Nursing program, Richmond Community College Professor Phyl-lis Caviness is retiring from her full-time teaching position.

“I think I was born a teacher” said Caviness, who once worked as a nurse in Laurinburg. “My sisters and I pretended to be our school teachers when we were little girls and would line up our dolls and even our dog to teach them. Anything that would sit still long enough be-came a student for us.”

She plans to continuing working as an adjunct instructor teaching a lab or clinical each semester.

“Watching a student master a con-cept and reach a goal gives me much joy. When they go out into the world and make a difference in the lives of their patients and the families of those patients, it is a wonderful thing to have witnessed and to have had a hand in creating” she said.

After attending Fayetteville State University, her career path has led her through several teaching ex-periences. She taught fifth grade, worked as a library assistant with students K-5, and was a cottage counselor for juvenile delinquent girls.

Her desire to become a nurse led her to earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing from N.C. A & T State University in 1978. She worked at Moses H. Cone Hospital in Greens-boro, N.C. in the medical/surgical and oncology units. In 1981, she joined the RCC faculty. Several years later, she returned to N.C. A&T State University for a master’s degree in Adult Education.

Caviness never left her nursing role and has continuously worked weekend shifts since she joined RCC. During the 80s, she worked at Scotland Memorial Hospital in Lau-rinburg and Chesterfield General Hospital in Cheraw, S.C.

In 1991, she began working week-ends at Chesterfield Convalescence Center in Cheraw, S.C. where she worked as a staff nurse and later was promoted to Nursing Supervi-sor where she continues today. She has no plans to retire from nursing.

Her areas of specialty are geri-atrics, medical/surgical, pharma-cology, and psychiatric nursing. “I’ve taught clinicals and labs for all of these areas. This has given me the opportunity to work with the professionals at the hospitals in Richmond, Moore, and Scotland counties. It has been a wonderful experience,” she said.

Caviness loves her students, and they love her. Her students say she has the unique ability to take the most complex issue and make it simple, and she does so with humor that makes learning easy and enjoy-able.

“I have been honored to work with Pembroke State University in an in-novative retention program which has resulted in an increase of minor-ity students successfully completing the RN Program” said Caviness.

In 2000, she was selected as RCC’s Faculty of the Year. In 2001,

she was honored by the North Caro-lina Community College System and received the “Faculty of the Year for Excellence in Teaching Award.”

Like most recent retirees, Cavi-ness said technology has had a tre-mendous impact on her profession. Electronic charting and medication administration have become stan-dard practices. Even so, she has taught throughout her 30 years, that becoming a registered nurse should be about making a difference in the lives of patients and their families. She feels nurses are there to help patients and let them know they are appreciated, cared for, and loved. This feeling is supported by the other faculty.

“We have a wonderful faculty and staff here at RCC. I am going to miss them. They have been so supportive of me and my family throughout the years” she said.

RCC Health Sciences Division Chair Carole Gibson said “Phyllis has set a high standard for those left to carry on her legacy. She has always made the students a prior-ity. She used story telling in her classes, citing real life experiences to help students understand difficult material. For the faculty, she has been our historian. She has kept us on task and challenged us when we needed to see things from a differ-ent viewpoint. She has been a vital part of the fabric that, when woven together, formed the strong nursing team we have here at RCC. She has touched the lives of many, offering encouragement and support to both students and faculty.”

RCC President Dr. Dale McInnis has known Caviness for many years and said her contributions to the college and county are many.

“Phyllis is one of the pillars of this college, as a teacher and as a sur-rogate mother to two generations of nurses. She has served as a role model and mentor to our faculty. Her legacy is deep and permanent, both in the thousands of people her work has touched and in helping to build the finest nursing program in this state” said McInnis.

Pipe band placesStaff report

The St. Andrews University Pipe Band took second place in the Grade III Pipe Band Competition at the 39th Annual Charleston Scottish Games ..

“The St. Andrews Pipe Band was beaten by a much larger and clearly superior Atlanta Pipe Band on Saturday,” said Pipe Major Bill Caudill. “As this is a re-building year for the band, I was pleased that we were able to field a group rep-resenting St. Andrews who could remain competitive in our currently assigned grade level. Everyone has worked hard over the past three weeks to prepare for this performance.”

St. Andrews senior Matt Poletti earned 4th place in the Grade III March solo competition. the games were held this past weekend.

The band has a goal of improving on all results at the Scotland County High-land Games Oct. 1, and the Stone Mountain Games in Georgia on Oct. 15.

“I am proud of the efforts of the student members of the band, as well as the contributions of our alumni/community members who are enabling us to remain on the circuit this academic year,” said Caudill. “We’d like to invite everyone out to support the band here in Laurinburg on October 1 for our local Highland Games as we hope to build on our first competitive performance of last week-end.”

ASHEVILLE (AP) — A man whose name came up repeatedly in an in-nocence hearing earlier this year has pleaded guilty to filing a false tax return.

The Asheville Citizen-Times reported (http://bit.ly/noFxnA) that 49-year-old Matthew Bacoate wasn't immediately sentenced when he pleaded guilty ear-lier this week. He faces a maximum of three years of prison.

Bacoate is a former drug addict who started a nonprofit rehabilitation pro-

gram called Life on Life's Terms in 1994. The North Carolina secretary of state suspended the nonprofit's incorpo-ration papers the year after it started for failing to file a tax return or pay taxes.

Bacoate's name surfaced during an in-nocence investigation of the 2000 mur-der of Walter Bowman.

Two men convicted in Bowman's death were released Thursday after a three-judge panel declared them inno-cent.

Former Scots star in weekend contests

Matt SmithSportS Editor

The following is an update on former Scotland High School athletes with their respective collegiate teams this fall:

Justin McLean, WR, MaloneMcLean had another big day in Malone’s

24-22 loss to Saint Ambrose Sept. 17, hauling in five catches for 188 yards and two touchdowns.

McLean posted Malone’s first two scores of the game, the first coming on a 94-yard touch-down pass from quarterback Will Szpor and the second on a 62-yard touchdown throw.

McLean also returned a pair of kickoffs for 28 yards, leading Malone with 216 all-purpose

yards.

Fighting Scots’ dominance displayed in season’s first halfMatt Smith

SportS Editor

For all of the hype that surrounded the Scotland High School football program before the start of the 2011 season, the Fighting Scots have, so far, answered every doubt when their number has been called.

Sitting at 5-0 on the year, Scotland ran through its out-of-conference schedule with an offense that has been explosive and a defense has been as steady anchor guiding the Fighting Scots early this season.

Even with the pressure of being tabbed the Southeastern Conference’s preseason favorite, the Fighting Scots have more than lived up to their bill-ing, outscoring opponents 199-58,

while pitching their first shutout under head Chip Williams against Anson in their final out-of-conference game of the year.

Scotland’s offensive attack features multiple weapons, posting over forty points in three games this season, while the defense has forced nine turn-overs this season through five games.

With conference play set to start next week against Purnell Swett, here’s a look back at what the Fight-ing Scots have already accomplished so far in 2011.

Offensive onslaughtWhile the offense had few question

marks heading into the season, one thing plaguing Scotland in 2010 was a lack of offensive consistency.

Scotland running back Tony McRae fights for a first down against New Hanover. McRae has accounted for four touchdowns on the ground, while piling up 434 rushing yards through four games this season.

The Fighting Scots’ defense stops Jack Britt short on a first down run. Scotland has allowed 15 points or less in four of their five contests this season.

Scotland’s Courtney Poole placed fifth overall Sept. 22 at the Lady Scots’ meet in Rockingham, N.C., helping to lead Scotland to their first first place finish of the season.

Matt SmithSportS Editor

The Scotland High School men’s and women’s cross coun-try teams picked up their first top finish of the season Thurs-day afternoon in Rockingham, N.C., topping Richmond and the Bucks in their third conference meet of the year.

The Scotland High School men’s team picked up five top-10 finishes at the course at Hin-son Lake, while the Lady Scots placed five runners in the top-6 positions to finish first overall.

The men’s team earned 23 points at the meet, besting the Raiders by 31 points, while Hoke finished third overall, just one point back of Richmond with a team score of 55 points.

The Lady Scots blew through their field, posting a team score of 17, while Richmond and Hoke took second and third, re-

spectively.“This was the best race we

have run so far this season,” Scotland head coach David Brooks sad. “The times were a little high, but that is expected after running two meets in three days. The boys had a strong showing with four out of the top-5 runners, and five out of the top-10. Sophomores Kendall Romaine and Brandon Gibson led the team with second and fourth place finishes, respec-tively, while freshmen John Hol-loway, Logan Ward and Jared Torgerson continue placing in the top-10 with third, fifth and ninth place finishes. With such a strong, dedicated group, I look forward to coaching these boys for the next three years.

“The girls dominated their race, placing five out of the top-6 and were just two points away from a perfect score,” he said. “Cori Newton ran away from the

field finishing a full two minutes ahead of her nearest competi-tor. First-year runners Sydney Faulk and Bree Johnson ran to strong second and third place finishes and continue to lower their times. Veterans Court-ney Poole and Marina Baranik stepped up as well, running to fifth and sixth place finishes, their lowest of the season.”

Romaine led the men’s team with a second place finish over-all, finishing just a second back of Richmond’s Randy Altman with a time of 19:07.

After Romaine’s finish, the Scots took the next three spots in the top-5, as John Holloway (19:42), Brandon Gibson (19:52) and Logan Ward (20:02) finished third, fourth and fifth, respec-tively, to give Scotland four out of the top-5 finishers.

This season, those questions have been answered, as Scotland’s offense has not only been explosive, but an unfailing weapon against teams early in the year.

Through their first five games, the Fighting Scots have averaged 39.8 points a game, attacking oppo-nents both on the ground and through the air with a balanced game plan that’s left opposing defenses befuddled as to how to stop Scotland.

Under center, Scotland quarterback Kwashaun Quick has shown that’s he’s more than just a runner throwing the ball, as the senior has progressed into a reliable dual-threat quarterback both inside and out-side of the pocket.

Quick has completed 52 percent of his passes this season for 813 total yards, throwing seven touch-downs to just one interception.

Quick has found seven different receivers for touch-downs this year, spreading the ball around to multiple threats to breakdown his opponents.

Along with his arm, Quick has decimated opponents with his feet, running for 354 yards on 45 carries and a touchdown.

Adding to the Fighting Scots’ offensive repertoire, Scotland running back Tony McRae has ground out 434 rushing yards through five games, scoring four touchdowns in the process.

McRae’s blistering speed has been paired up with the downhill running style of Caison Murphy, who leads Scotland with five rushing touchdowns on just 28 carries.

Scotland’s receiving corps have also stepped up this season, with Sey’yan Moody and Travis Wall leading the unit. From the wideout spot, Moody has reeled in six catches for 220 yards and a touchdown, while Wall has been a threat in the backfield, grabbing eight catches for 193 yards and three touchdown scores.

“We have a lot of weapons,” Williams said. “We’ve been real pleased with the way our coaching staff have (used) those young men. They can get you in a lot of (different) areas. We came out against Jack Britt, not to discredit Jack Britt, I don’t think that we played very efficiently. We woke up in the second half, so to speak, and did what we were capable of doing. We need to be that way the whole season. Against Anson County we came out and played what I thought was a pretty good football game. When our offense is click-ing, it’s a pretty thing to watch.”

Vaunted defenseOn defense, the Fighting Scots returned a host of

all-conference members from the 2010 conference honoree list, as the unit looked to prove that they were ready for the spotlight this season.

Scotland faced a tough test early in the season against Seventy First, holding the run-happy Falcons to just eight points in their season opener.

The Fighting Scots responded the next week by lim-iting New Hanover, a team that had just scored over 60 points in their season opener, to 28 points, while stopping the Bulldogs for just a single score in Week 3.

Scotland put on their most dominant performance against Anson, shutting out the Bearcats at Pate Sta-dium, while forcing a pair of turnovers in the win.

“Defensively, I thought we played a great game against Anson County,” Williams said. “We had to make some adjustments early on, but any time you get a shutout you’re doing something right. I thought we’ve played fairly stingy on defense all season long. We’ve given up a couple (touchdowns) late that messed up our scoring average, but I think our de-fense has done a great job.”

Through four games, Scotland linebackers Red Covington and Ernie Robinson have led the Fight-ing Scots’ defensive charge. Through their contest against Jack Britt, Covington has registered a team-high 29 tackles with a forced fumble and a fumble re-covery, while Robinson has 26 total tackles, a sack and a forced fumble.

The Fighting Scots’ secondary has also been merci-less against opposing quarterbacks this season, with safety Dominique Green pacing the unit with 21 tack-les, a forced fumble and an interception.

As a unit, Scotland has allowed just 9.6 points a con-test, giving up only eight touchdowns this season.

Conference outlookWith conference play beginning next week against

the Rams, it looks like the Southeastern Conference will once again be one of, if not the most, competitive conferences in the state.

Scotland’s conference opponents currently hold a combined 20-5 record, with Lumberton and Richmond sitting atop the league with the Fighting Scots with a 5-0 record.

Scotland and the Raiders hold top-5 positions in most state polls, while the Pirates have allowed just four touchdowns in five games this season.

The Raiders look to complete their third consecu-tive perfect SEC season this year, while leading the conference in scoring at 47.2 points a game.

Lumberton boasts a pair of wins over Jack Britt and Seventy-First, while Hoke has quiet slid under the radar with a 4-1 record with victories over South View and the Falcons.

“There are no weak links in our conference,” Wil-liams said. “Everyone that we play, from Purnell to the last game (against) Richmond County, is certainly able to defeat us if we do not play well. At the same time, I think it’s up to the Scots about what they want to do. I think the ball is in our hands.”

Pinecrest and Purnell Swett both hold 3-2 records entering conference play.

Scotland will kickoff SEC action next week when they travel to take on the Rams at “Big Mo’ Stadium in Pembroke, N.C.

Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.

Scotland’s top-10 performers, finishing ninth overall with a time of 20:34.

For the Lady Scots, Newton blistered through the field, finish a full two minutes in front of Scotland’s Faulk for first place overall. Newton ran the course in 23:09 for the meet’s top spot, with Faulk taking second for the Lady Scots with a time of 25:20.

Johnson picked up Scotland’s third top-5 finish, finishing third with a time of 26:22.

Poole ran a time of 26:47, good for fifth over-all, to push four Lady Scots into the top-5.

Scotland’s Baranik finished sixth overall at the meet in a time of 27:51 to help Scotland earn their first place result.

Both the men’s and women’s teams will return to action next week, when they travel to Lum-berton, N.C.

“The only team we have yet to run against now is Lumberton,” Brooks said. “It will be good to go down there on Tuesday and see how our guy’s and girl’s teams stack up against them.”

Meet time is set for 5 p.m.

On the season, Robertson cur-rently sits sixth on the team with 13 total tackles, including four solo takedowns in three games.

Jay Wooten, Kicker, South Carolina

Wooten kicked his second field goal of the season for South Car-olina against the Midshipmen, nailing a 48-yarder in the second quarter as time expired to give USC a 17-14 lead at the break.

The momentum swing helped hold Navy at bay in the second half and was Wooten’s second field goal of the season over 45 yards.

On kickoff duty, Wooten kicked four times for 257 total yards, av-eraging 64.2 yards a kick.

Wooten and the Gamecocks will return to action today when they take on Vanderbilt in their first Southeastern Conference home game of the season at 7 pm.

Terrell Manning, LB, N.C. State

Manning recorded a solo tackle in N.C. State’s 35-13 win over South Alabama on Sept. 17 before leaving in the first quarter against USA with a knee injury.

Manning is expected to miss at least three weeks after having surgery on his injured knee ear-lier this week.

GREENVILLE (AP) — East Carolina has ex-tended the contract of men's basketball coach Jeff Lebo through the 2018-19 season.

A statement from the school said the extension was approved by the school's board of trustees on Friday.

In his first season in Greenville, Lebo led East Carolina to its first winning season in 14 years and its first postseason appearance since 1993. The Pi-rates finished the season at 18-16, the third-highest

win total in school history and most by a first-year coach.

East Carolina defeated Central Florida and then ousted top-seeded UAB to advance to the semifi-nals of the Conference USA tournament for the first time.

It was the first time that ECU did not finish below .500 in league play, posting an 8-8 C-USA record and tying for seventh-place.

Today’s Answers

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Sept. 24, 2011:

This year, you often decide to go for the concerns of the majority rather than your own needs. You can do that only so much. Resentment could bubble up, indicating you are giving too much. You, too, need nurturing. Take especially good care of your-self, as you might be prone to fatigue, the flu and bone problems. If you are single, your popularity can only grow. First decide if you want to get tied down or if you would rather date. Then decide what type of relationship you might want. If you are attached, share more of your life with your sweetie. That sharing allows greater warmth and security. LEO enjoys par-tying with you.

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) HHHHH Be spontaneous, yet

be willing to indulge a partner who might not be as upbeat. Make plans that allow you to visit with others but at the same time permit you to relax. Try a movie or a baseball game. Others will go along. Tonight: Let your imagination be the source of plans.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Let others wind down.

You also might take a page out of their book. You might want to slip in a nap or indulge a favorite hobby. Listen to a loved one who needs to share some thoughts. This person might feel misunderstood. Tonight: Entertain at home.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)HHHHH Your intellect saves the

day. Ask for help if you don’t know how to handle a confusing situation that could involve the law, a foreigner or someone at a distance. Clear out a misunderstanding as quickly as pos-sible. Tonight: Out and about.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)HH You don’t need to pick up the

tab for everyone around you. You could be stressed out and wondering what would be the best way to handle a difficult domestic situation. It is only as hard as you want to make it. Tonight: Your treat.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 22)HHHH Whether it is you or

someone else, somebody drags you down. Don’t allow negativity in. Get together with family and/or a loved one. The reason is irrelevant for the

most part — you are going for the togetherness. Tonight: Beam in what you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH If you feel like vanishing, do.

Don’t even try to be social, because you need some downtime. If you do go out, you might feel like a square peg in a round hole. Indulge yourself as you would others. Tonight: Shhh.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Listen to what is shared

among your associates. You might not be sure of the best way to go. A dear friend or loved one urges you to join him or her. If you do, you could let go of the indecision. Tonight: Surrounded by favorite people.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)HHHH Whether you decide to

drop by the office, visit with an older friend or invite friends over, it seems as if you are saddled with responsi-bilities. You really enjoy yourself with a change of pace and catching up on news. Tonight: Could go until the wee hours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)HHHH Keep reaching out for

someone at a distance. How you see a situation could change when you come in closer. A message or call could be vague and perhaps confus-ing. Ask for clarification. Tonight: Try a new adventure.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)HHHH Let a partner or friend

make the decisions without you being a back-seat driver. You could be much more vague than you would like to be about a money matter. The information you are receiving also could be less than clear. Tonight: Someone else wants to treat. Let him or her.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)HHHHH Others are still domi-

nant. Know that you cannot fight city hall, no matter what you do. Let others make the call, knowing your time will come. Even if you are not sure you will enjoy yourself, you will. Tonight: Follow another’s lead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)HHH Take some much-needed

personal time to do something you have been thinking about, whether it is getting a haircut, going to an art show or even joining a gym. Remember, you don’t always have to answer to others. Tonight: Just don’t push.
