FWC Delays Vote On Importing Out Of State Deer
June 17, 2013
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has deferred action until September on a rule prohibiting the importation of live captive deer into Florida from out of state sources.
Meeting in Lakeland, Commissioners said they wanted more time to hear from staff and stakeholders about options designed to reduce the chances of chronic wasting disease (CWD) being introduced into the state.
CWD is not known to affect people but is a contagious neurological disease affecting deer, elk and moose. It is similar to mad cow disease, always fatal, and there is no known cure or vaccine. So far, the disease has been discovered in 22 states, two Canadian provinces and in South Korea.
Since the beginning of May, the FWC has received much public comment and answered many questions and concerns through its website from deer enthusiasts and those who have deer farms and hunting preserves. The Commission used this public input when considering this proposal, which was deferred until fall.

MLB Debut: Molino’s Gindl Thrilled To Get The Callup To The Brewers
June 16, 2013
Outfielder Caleb Gindl of Molino arrived from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday and became the sixth Milwaukee Brewer to make his Major League debut in a season yet to hit its halfway point.
Previous MLB debuts included Khris Davis (April 1), Josh Prince (April 6), Hiram Burgos (April 20), Donovan Hand (May 26) and Scooter Gennett (June 3).
“It’s the best feeling of my life,” Gindl said before the game.
The Brewers promoted Gindl after placing left fielder Ryan Braun on the 15-day disabled list. At 24, Gindl became the youngest of the Brewers’ six players to debut when he struck out against the Reds’ Homer Bailey in the seventh inning.
He is used to that label. Gindl was a Brewers’ fifth-round Draft pick in 2007 out of Pace High School in Florida, and he was 22 when he debuted in Triple-A in 2011. He had been waiting there patiently for a promotion.
“The last two weeks, he has really swung the bat well,” Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. “He hangs in there, gives you a nice at-bat. Especially right now, because he’s got a lot of at-bats under his belt [from Triple-A], I think he’ll be a good pinch-hitter for us for a while. Now, how long that lasts, that he’s good without me starting him, I don’t know. That’s always hard to predict. But he does all the things well that you want from a bench player.”
Gindl was batting .274 at Nashville with eight home runs and a team-best 38 RBIs. He hit .364 over his last 10 games and got the call over Davis, who was hitting .125 over his last 10 contests.
“We try to go by whoever is doing the job, and [Gindl] is swinging the bat the best down there, and we know he plays pretty good defense,” Roenicke said.
The Brewers won a shutout for the first time this year on Saturday, 6-0 over the Cincinnati Reds.
