From the Cleveland County Health Department

On July 14, 2011 Cleveland County Animal Control received a complaint at 113 Holden Dr. Earl, North Carolina in reference to a fox on the property displaying abnormal behavior. The Cleveland County Health Department was notified on July 18, 2011 that the fox tested positive for rabies. This makes the third (3rd) rabies case in Cleveland County in 2011.

Residents need to make sure their animals are under their direct control. Animals that are allowed to run loose are at risk of coming into contact with a rabid animal. If your animals are exposed to a rabid animal and not vaccinated, then your animals will have to be euthanized or quarantined for six months.

During the next six months, anyone living in the vicinity of 113 Holden Dr, Earl, North Carolina should observe their animals for any unusual behavior. In addition, residents need to make sure that all cats, dogs and ferrets have a current rabies vaccination. North Carolina State Law requires all cats and dogs to have rabies shots at four months of age, and require a booster every three years.

Anyone that sees an animal demonstrating unusual behavior needs to call the Cleveland County Animal Control Department at 481-9884.

Harry Potter may not have Lord Voldemort to kick around anymore, but that doesnt mean fans of JK Rowlings bespectacled boy wizard cant keep participating in Pottermania to their hearts content.

Fridays worldwide opening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 marks the end of an era, at least in terms of major new book or film releases for the Potter fandom to mark down on their calendars. But hard-core wizarding world enthusiasts arent allowing the magical universe of Hagrid, Hermione, Harry, and Hogwarts to disappear into the night quietly.

Take the Harry Potter Wiki, the Internets top portal for fans, which is sponsoring a contest on Twitter that requires contestants to sum up the entire Harry Potter series in a single tweet.

Potter summer-uppers have until July 22 to submit their entries of no more than 140 characters (or 125, when you add in the required #Potterinatweet hashtag, as pointed out by EW.com).

The grand prize: A trip for four to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter amusement park in Orlando, Fla. The package includes round-trip airfare, three nights at the Loews Royal Pacific Resort, three-day park tickets with early admission, and breakfast at the Three Broomsticks restaurant at the park.

Not a bad return for a simple tweet, eh? Here are some samples of contest entries tweeted thus far.
