Volleyball stats, anyone?


Many times we are asked here at The County Record why we don't have more stories about certain teams or sports. Such has often been the case with
some of the previous volleyball teams. The reason? We can't get stats. With that said, another season is upop us and, although we took the photos at the
pre-season classic tournament held in Altha Thursday, featuring both the Lady Cats and Lady Tigers, we have no stats. As always, stats have been
requested, but at press time on Tuesday morning, they had not been received. If you are a parent or fan of the Altha or BHS volleyball teams and would
like your team covered, talk to your coach. Stats can be emailed to us at news@thecountyrecord.net or faxed to 674-5008. Deadline is Monday, noon.


Wasting disease not


found in Florida deer


  After extensive testing, the
Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission
(FWC) has not found any evi-
dence of chronic wasting dis-
ease (CWD) in the state's
white-tailed deer population.
  The FWC tested 636 free-
ranging deer during the past
year and more than 3,000
deer during the past five
years, with no CWD-positive
results.
  FWC's wildlife veterinarian
Dr. Mark Cunningham said,
"While we can never say that
Florida is entirely free of the
disease without testing every
deer, this sample size gives
us very high confidence that
if CWD is present in Florida,
it is at low levels. However,
even low numbers of CWD-
positive deer would be cause
for concern, so we plan to
continue testing for the fore-
seeable future."
   CWD is a contagious neu-
rological disease that has
been found in captive and
wild herds of mule deer,
white-tailed deer and Rocky
Mountain elk within several
Midwestern   and  Western
states. The disease causes
degeneration of the brains of
infected animals, resulting in
emaciation, abnormal behav-
ior, loss of bodily functions
and death.
   Thus far, no Southeastern
states, including Florida,
have been hit by the deer dis-
ease.
   To reduce the chances of


CWD turning up in Florida,
the state prohibits importing
carcasses of any species of
deer, elk or moose from 14
states and two Canadian
provinces where CWD has
been detected.
  States and provinces cur-
rently with CWD include New
Mexico,. Utah,   Colorado,
Wyoming, Kansas, Minne-
sota, Oklahoma, Montana,
South  Dakota, Nebraska,
Wisconsin, Illinois, New York,
West Virginia, and Alberta
and Saskatchewan, Canada.

mal health/animal_dis-
eases/cwd/ for the most up-
to-date CWD.reporting.
