The installation of the new automatic utility readers for the city of Laurinburg is nearing completion, according to Laurinburg City Manager, Ed Burchins. The project, which initially began five months ago, hit an unexpected delay during the middle phase of installation when the company that was respon- sible for the installation of the meters, announced that it couldn’t finish the job. Burchins declined to elaborate. The city eventually hired a new company to complete the job. “We don’t know the exact final date, but things are well under way,” said Stacy McQuage, Laurinburg public util- ities director. McQuage said that the installations within the city limits are practically complete and that the new meters are Contributed now being installed in other areas.

(AP) — A special night at Maryland was uncere- moniously ruined by No. 8 Duke, which had its own agenda in this matchup of longtime rivals. Mason Plumlee scored a season-high 23 points and the Blue Devils rebound- ed from a rare home defeat by pulling away to a 74-61 victory Wednesday night. Before the game, Maryland honored former coach Gary Williams by dedicat- ing the court in his name. Williams, the winningest coach in the history of the program, revved up the sellout crowd with his signature fist pump as he entered the arena. Williams’ replacement, Mark Turgeon, had the Terps ready to play. But Maryland simply didn’t have the talent to hang with the Blue Devils, who were eager to bounce back from Saturday’s loss to Florida State. “Everybody came to play,” Plumlee said. “It’s not that we didn’t play hard against Florida State, but down the stretch we didn’t execute well.
