12A THE NEWS-JOURNAL Raeford, N.C. March 12, 1997 Club (Continued from page I A) justice. Law officials, including the sh^rifTs drug dog and handler, remained on the scene to conduct a full inventory of the club. Deputies found nothing unusual. Chief Deputy Wayne Gardner s^jd. Gardner said Dial was released that night on bond. Dusting off the books Superior Court Judge Craig B. Ellis issued the temporary restraining order against the club. This is the first step in acivil nuisance abatement case brought by District Attorney Jean Powell against the club’s owners, Dial, and his wife, Nancy. The restraining order prohibits any illegal activity from occurring on the property until a full preliminary hear ing is held. Dial is scheduled to Appear in Superior Court next week. “Our deputies have charged [People at this place with possession of drugs and concealed weapons,” Sheriff Wayne Byrd said in a written state ment. “This place has just been a prob lem in the community. Thanks to a cooperative effort between our office and ale’s nuisance abatement team, we might be able to close this pl^ce for good.” In January the sheriff requested the state’s nuisance abatement team inves tigate reports against the club, allowing the district attorney to open a civ d case against the club, agent Rodney Johnson said. History of reports Johnson said he and agent Robert Ivey investigated over 80 servir^e calls reported on the club between April 1993 and January 1997. Calls include incidents of drugs and illegal weapons. If Dial violates the order, he faces fines and penalties, the most severe of which could be permanent loss of his property, Johnson said. The Friday order follows a 1991 PUBLIC NOTICE The public will t^ke notice that the County of Hoke has received and proposes to accept an offer to pur chase for the sum pf $7,076.76 the following County surplus Landfill Equipment: One (1) Fiat FLiOC Loader S/N 10CA114655 One (1) 355 Rex Trashmaster S/N HNR-109-T As authorized by NO G.S. 160A-269, any person may, within 10 days frorri the publications hereof, increase the bid by submitting in writing to the Hoke County Clerk to Board at 227 N.

High way 211, Johnson said. Johnson said the first civil action lacked the teeth of this second order because it only targeted the establish ment and not Dial as an individual. “It was drawn up to keep him from being a nuisance at that property, but it didn’t keep him from going somewhere else,” he said. “If this particular case against Dial sticks, he will not be able to conduct business anywhere else in the state,” Johnson said. Team created in 1994 The state general assembly created the team in 1994 based on a 1913 statute. The targets public nuisance properties, such as“aack houses,”clubs and other establishements which har bor illicit and illegal activities. “It’s a very effective law,” Johnson said. No other state has a program like this, he said. So far, this team scored alOO per cent success rate, Johnson said. Since its incipience in 1994, the team assisted law enforcement officials in closing 45 establishments throughout the state, includinganotherclub in Hoke County. The Zodiac Lounge on Vass Road closed in 1995 as a result of a similar investigation. The key to this program’s success is that unlike criminal cases, civil cases get offenders where it really hurts—in their wallets, Johnson said. “People don’t realize civil statutes are where most of your teeth are at because it goes for the pocketbook,” he said. The team only takes a case if com munity outcry warrants it or if the local law enforcement requests it, Johnson said. “We deal with the worst of the worst,” he said.

Cummings accused the Democrats of stealing the Republican platform. “The Democrats attempted to take our political agenda under the dis guise of bipartisanism,” Cummings said. She attacked Democratic Party members, cal I ing them “incompetent. insecure, less confident and uncom fortable,” thanks to Republican Party achievements. “We must be commended, but we must be more vigilant in our efforts,” she said. “We cannot take a recess.” Convention elects Shelnutt Shelnutt, a local car lot owner, replaced school teacher Mark Henneman as the county’s GOP chair man. Henneman finished a special one- year term which the N.C. Republican Party granted in 1996.
