Governors confer about
containing spread of Zika
AUSTIN — Gov. Greg
Abbott on June 9 participat-
ed in a White House-hosted
conference call for gover-
nors to discuss the Zika virus
threat and what to do about
it.
U.S. Secretary of Health
and Human Services Sylvia
Burwell and Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention
Director Dr. Tom Frieden led
the call.
Frieden said no vaccine
exists to prevent the Zika
virus disease, and the way
for individuals to prevent
contracting the disease is to
avoid getting bitten by mos-
quitoes.
“With the recent floods,
and as we enter the height of
mosquito season, I encour-
age Texans to take precau-
tions to protect themselves
from mosquito exposure and
heed all warnings and rec-
ommendations from health
officials,” Abbott said after
the conference call.
While the Texas Task
Force on Infectious Disease
Preparedness and Response
and the Department of State
Health Services finalize a
plan to combat the spread
of the virus, the most im-
portant thing Texans can do
is to remain vigilant, includ-
ing when traveling abroad
to countries experiencing
Zika outbreaks and eliminat-
ing standing water, Abbott
added.
On May 13, the CDC
gave states and territories
until June 13 to apply for
funds to fight Zika.
The CDC acknowledged
the $85 million in avail-
able funding is not enough
to support a comprehensive
Zika response and can only
temporarily address what is
needed.

ated the CWD management
plan and August 19 emer-

response to this fatal disease.
These emergency rules were
crafted based on broad input
from a large cross-section of
stakeholders.
“Chronic Wasting Dis-
ease, in Texas white-tail
deer, was first detected in
a captive deer breeding fa-
cility,” said Jenny Sanders,
executive director, Texans
for Saving Our Hunting
Heritage. “It is Texas Parks
& Wildlife Departments’ re-
sponsibility, as a regulatory
entity, to represent all stake-
holders, and not fold to po-
litical pressure from a small
group of deer breeders when
considering industry rules
aimed at protecting Texas’
wild deer herd.”

cess, members of the hunt-

Attention: Crosby Co. Residents
Beware of Telephone Scams
Top Five US Telephone Scams Revealed
Recently, there has been
a IRS scam circulating in
the County. Several people
have received a phone call
threatening them with a war-
rant for their arrest if they
do not provide their SS# and
other important information.
Please hang up and call our
local Sheriff’s Dept, and re-
port this.
Almost nine out of ten
Americans (89%) receive
unwanted calls each month
according to a recent survey
which has also revealed the
top 5 types of scam people
have fallen victim to.
The YouGov survey,
commissioned by call block-
ing specialists CPR Call
Blocker, also showed that
11% of US adults have been
a victim of a telephone scam.
Of those who have been
scammed, 20% said they
had lost between $500 and
$10,000 as a result.
The survey revealed that
from a list, victims have
been scammed most by:
• IRS scams (33%)
• Credit/Foan scams
(31%)
• Fottery/Sweepstake
scams (27%)
• Banking scams
(22%)
• Automated message
scams (16%)
While not all unwanted
phone calls are scams, the
shocking statistics show
that many US consumers
are regularly bombarded
by unrequested calls from
people and organizations for
commercial purposes. From
long distance call providers
through to Robocalls, con-
sumers are continually being
targeted over the phone with
14% of people receiving
over 30 unwanted calls each
month.
The study also suggests
that organizations making
these unwanted calls are
avoiding consumers’ re-
quests to be removed from
call lists as 60% claim to re-
ceive repeated calls from the
same organization despite
telling them to stop calling.
Kris Hicks of CPR Call
Blocker comments, “With
89% of people claiming to
receive unwanted calls each
month, the scale of the prob-
lem is out of control. Not
only are consumers contend-
ing with regular Robocalls,
there is also a risk that they
could be tricked into giv-
ing away personal details
and financial information.
We hope that by highlight-
ing the most common types
of scams out there, people
will be more savvy when it
comes to saying ‘no’ to un-
wanted callers.”
CPR Call Blocker com-
missioned the YouGov re-
search to highlight the scale
of unwanted calls across the
US. Its V5000 product of-
fers an immediate solution
to the problem. The device
is plugged into home phones
and allows consumers to cut
off unwanted calls as they
come in and permanent-
ly stop them from calling
again. It is already installed
with 5000 known unwanted
phone numbers and gives
consumers the option to add
a further 1200.
CPR Call Blockers are

blockerusa.com.
