Proceeds from the golf outing will be donated to the Parkinson Association of the Carolinas (PAC). ‘New fees go into effect Oct. 1 for NC poultry growers North Carolina poultry growers who want to join the National Poultry Improve- ment Plan and receive a registration number will have to pay a $50 registration fee plus 10 cents per bird tested beginning Oct. 1. Growers with an existing registration number will need to pay a $10 annual recer- tification fee and pay 10 cents per bird tested to maintain their status. The fees were set by the General Assembly this summer to help cover costs incurred by the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to ad- minister the program. Growers who sell live baby poultry or hatching eggs must be compliant with basic NPIP testing requirements, though they are not required to join the NPIP. “This fee will help our Veterinary Divi- sion and our nationally accredited veterinary laboratories allocate the resources needed to maintain a healthy poultry industry in North Carolina,” Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler said. “North Carolina’s poultry growers contribute more than $4 billion in cash receipts to the state’s economy and we must be ever vigilant in our disease surveil- BPoLICE lance efforts.” The NPIP was established in the 1930s to improve poultry and poultry products on a national level and to eliminate Salmonella pullorum disease, which caused up to 80 percent mortality in young flocks. The pro- gram was later extended to include testing and monitoring for several more diseases — including most recently, avian influenza — in commercial poultry, turkeys, waterfowl, ex- hibition poultry, backyard poultry and game birds. Last year, the NCDA&CS Veterinary Di- vision registered 596 new flocks, of which 497 were non-commercial. Overall, North Carolina has more than 8,100 registered flocks. !

Operation Southern Snare a success A four-month-long anti-gang initiative in Cleveland and Gaston counties by 10 participating law enforcement agen- cies resulted in the identification of 25 gangs, seizure of 56 guns and $15,000 cash, the arrest of 138 people, and $178,000 in drugs seized. “The success of Operation Southern Snare had a positive and lasting impact on our community," said Kings Mountain Chief of Police Melvin Proctor. He added, “This type of multi agency cooperation sends a clear message to the citi- zens of Kings Mountain and to criminals who think they can conduct their illegal activities in our area. The Kings Moun- tain Police department will work alongside our federal and state law enforcement partners to protect the safety of the communities we serve." The arrests include narcotics-related offenses, firearms violations and other violent crimes. The investigations are ongoing which may result in additional charges against the defendants. “Southern Snare” began in May and concluded on Sept. 5 with special emphasis placed on communities in Gastonia and Shelby, according to Anne M. Tompkins, U. S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina. “I commend the law enforcement partners involved in this cross-jurisdictional and multi-agency operation for their hard work and their commitment to making our streets and communities safer," Tompkins said. U.S. Marshal Kelly Nesbit, Western District North Car- olina, said the success of Operation Southern Snare is the result of close cooperation and coordination with law en- forcement partners. SBI Director B.W. Collier said, “A lot of effort and collaboration among the participating law en- forcement agencies has led to safer communities in Cleve- land and Gaston counties. I applaud this successful operation.” Cleveland County Sheriff Alan Norman said, “The U.S. Marshal Service has been very beneficial in assisting us in dealing with our gang members in Cleveland County. We are looking forward to continuing this team approach with future operations.” Wayne L. Dixie, Special Agent US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said that ATF's mission is to identify, pursue and perfect criminal cases against in- dividuals who illegally possess and use firearms in further- ance of their criminal activities. “We will continue to work with the U.S. Marshal Service and our local counterparts in Cleveland and Gaston counties to ensure that those who fos- ter violence in this region are held to account for their ac- tivities.” “Collaborating with our partners at the federal and local levels on operations like this one brings tremendous results," said Johnny Hawkins, Director of Security Services for the N. C. Department of Public Safety.’ 'The efforts of all the law enforcement officers involved in this operation will result in amazing returns for our com- munity. This project is a great example of the impact we can make by working hand-in-hand with our federal and state partners. Together, we have addressed issues such as gangs, drugs and guns, which have been deteriorating our communities. Although this operation is coming to a close, we see it as a beginning instead of an ending. The partnerships formed over the past few months will continue to grow and our com- munities will reap the benefits," said Shelby Chief of Police Jeff Ledford.
