Adams Angus Farm, Union

Springs, Alabama, has been

recognized nationally by the

American Angus Associa-

tion® for having one regis-

tered Angus cow included in

the Association’s 2013 Path-

finder® Report.

Only 1,992 of the more

than 25,000 American An-

gus Association members are

represented in this year’s re-

port, according to Bill Bow-

man, chief operating officer

and director of performance

programs of the Association

with headquarters in Saint

Joseph, Mo.

Local angus breeder recognizedThe Pathfinder program

identifies superior Angus

cows based upon recorded

performance traits economi-

cally important to efficient

beef production. These traits

include early and regular

calving and heavy weaning

weights, Bowman says.

Over 2 million eligible

dams with more than 6.8 mil-

lion weaning records were

examined to determine Path-

finder status. All registered

Angus cows that meet the

strict Pathfinder standards are

listed, along with their own-

ers, in the Pathfinder Report

that is published annually by

the Association.

The 2013 Pathfinder Re-

port lists 8,680 individual

cows and 234 Pathfinder

sires. It is published online at

www.angus.org, and printed

copies are available from the

Association.

The largest number of

Pathfinder cows from a

single herd this year is 96.

Started in 1978, the Path-

finder Program continues to

recognize outstanding breed-

ers participating in the Angus

Herd Improvement Records

(AHIR®) Program.

Attorney General Luther

Strange today announced that

he has filed a lawsuit to stop

the operation of slot machines

at casinos owned by the Poarch

Band of Creek Indians.

The lawsuit was filed this

morning in the Circuit Court

of Elmore County against PCI

Gaming Authority and the in-

dividual members of the Po-

arch Band’s Tribal Council and

Gaming Authority in their of-

ficial capacity. Although state

police officers cannot enforce

state law on Indian lands by

executing a warrant to seize

unlawful devices, the lawsuit

contends that the Poarch Band

Suit filed to stop illegal gamblingstill has an obligation to com-

ply with state laws that prohibit

slot-machine gambling. The

lawsuit alleges that the Poarch

Band is “operating, advancing,

and profiting from unlawful

gambling activity at the Creek

Casino in Wetumpka, the Wind

Creek Casino in Atmore, and

the Creek Casino in Montgom-

ery in violation of Article IV,

Section 65 of the Alabama Con-

stitution (1901) and Ala. Code §

13A-12-20 et seq.” The lawsuit

further alleges that the “contin-

ued operation of unlawful gam-

bling devices by Defendants is

a public nuisance” that should

be enjoined by the court.

Attorney General Strange

said that he decided to file the

lawsuit after his other efforts

to stop the Poarch Tribe’s gam-

bling activities failed and be-

cause state officers cannot seize

gambling devices on Indian

land. “Unlawful gambling is a

statewide problem, and I have

worked with local authorities

to enforce Alabama law con-

sistently and fairly throughout

the state,” Strange said. “I have

sent two letters to the National

Indian Gaming Commission,

asking them to stop the Poarch

Band’s unlawful gambling, but
