State report cites Willow Place for more infractions By Beth Lawrence [email protected]

LAURINBURG – A Laurinburg nursing home has been cited for new infractions following a sec- ond state inspection. Willow Place Assisted Living and Memory Care on Stonewall Road was again cited after the Department of Health and Human Services Division of Health Service Regulation conducted an inspection to address additional complaints between Aug. 8 to 11; Aug. 13 to 17 and again on Aug. 21. The 190-page report spells out 18 violations some of which the home had already been cited for in the spring. Willow Place submitted a Plan of Protection on Aug. 29 that said staff would receive more training to address the issues. Cobey Culton, public information officer for NCDHS Division of Health Service Regulation would not say what, if any penalties the nursing home would face following the new round of viola- tions. “We can’t say what penalties would be imposed, but penalties would only be imposed after a pro- cess that includes the facility having an opportuni- ty to informally dispute any findings,” Culton said.

4A Thursday, October 5, 2017 Laurinburg Exchange their view Less Twitter more script Mr. Trump Clarence Page Guest columnist

As I watched various journalists, police, psychiatrists and other smart people on cable TV try to make sense of the senseless mass shooting in Las Vegas, an actor in a commer- cial popped up with a sound bite that sounded downright prophetic: “How do we get ahead of crazy,” he said, “if we don’t know how crazy thinks?” Amen, brother. The TV ad turned out to be a tease for an upcoming Netflix series called “Mindhunter.” Set in 1979, according to the advance publicity, the series will center on FBI agents who interview imprisoned serial kill- ers, as one agent puts it, to “know how crazy thinks.” The experts on TV and zillions of us who are watching at home were asking the same ques- Their view tion.

As if we didn’t have enough to worry about, Twitter Trump pokes his Twitter stick at an erratic nuclear power. Fortunately, however, after Twitter Trump’s initially awkward tweet of “warmest condo- lences” to the victims and families in Las Vegas, teleprompter Trump stepped up later in the day with a well-prepared statement. “In moments of tragedy and horror, America comes together as one, and it always has,” he said, reading from the text. “We call upon the bonds that unite us: our faith, our family and our shared values; we call upon the bonds of citizenship, the ties of community and the com- fort of our common humanity.” There was more, but you get the idea. The president can sound like a serious statesman when he wants to. In his campaign he ridiculed President Barack Obama and others who use teleprompters. But Trump should try it more often. Or, at least, he should learn to think before he tweets.

Sandhills Athletic Conference power rankings

By Amber Hatten ahatten@laurinburgexchange. com

LAURINBURG — The Sandhills Athletic Conference standings are proving to be a roller coast ride each week. Pinecrest moved to 0-2 after back-to-back losses to Seventy-First and Richmond while Jack Britt bounced back with a close win over Lumberton after being steamrolled in Week 1 of conference play by Scotland. Purnell Swett also moved to 0-2 in the SAC-8 after being unable to keep Scotland’s Zamir White out of the end zone. Lumberton is 1-1 while Hoke is still searching for not only it’s first conference win but it’s first win of the season. As always, if you don’t like where I slotted your team, we can have a discussion about it via phone, e-mail, or social media — but please, leave the pitchforks at home. Without further adieu, here are my rankings entering Week 8.
