According to the county's elections department, Dallas County municipal elections attracted only 8.4% of 1.4 million registered voters; a second teenager has been arrested in connection with the March slaying of a 14-year-old boy in east Oak Cliff. 17-year old Juan Saucedo was arrested Sunday and booked into the Dallas County jail on a capital murder charge in the death of Adam Gutierrez; falling crude prices will eventually translate into lower prices at the gas pump for consumers, but that doesn't mean it's all good news ― especially for Texas-based oil producers; and Paige Bueckers might be getting ready for her rookie season with the Dallas Wings, but she is still on the receiving end of awards for her collegiate career.

Washington, DC, April 25, 2025 — On this month's podcast episode, the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) speakers discuss the recent reorganization of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), including significant layoffs of staff working on public health programs, as well as the recently leaked funding “passback” document and what this means for public health. They also share an update on a lawsuit filed by some states against HHS on the clawback of billions of dollars of COVID-era supplemental funding. For more frequent updates, subscribe to NACCHO's News from Washington weekly newsletter: www.naccho.org/advocacy/news.   Later in the program (7:15), Philip “Phil” Huang, MD, MPH, Director and Health Authority at Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS), and Miranda Grant, a DCHHS Program Manager for the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative, join NACCHO to discuss DCHHS' efforts to prevent, detect, treat, and respond to HIV in Dallas County and the critical role local public health plays in improving health outcomes.    During the episode, they share the current state of the epidemic in Dallas County, the disproportionate impact on Black and Hispanic communities, the importance of community partnerships in reaching more diverse populations, the promising outlook for a reduction in new cases by 2030, and how fostering community engagement and data-driven planning will help address the epidemic. They highlight their trauma-informed learning collaborative, a county-wide initiative to help reduce workforce burnout and address stigma surrounding HIV. Dallas County has also seen a significant increase in PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) usage with up to 8,000 residents on PrEP in 2023 versus 300 people in 2014. However, without sustainable investments in HIV prevention, Dallas County faces a growing crisis in its communities and an economic strain – each HIV case prevented saves an estimated $420,000 in lifetime costs.

A judge on Monday refused to reduce the multimillion-dollar bond for the 17-year-old accused of shooting at least four people at Wilmer-Hutchins High School in Dallas last week. Tracy Haynes Jr. is being held in Dallas County jail, facing six charges of aggravated assault mass shooting. In other news, many Dallas residents have been fighting for years for the right to clean water and air, more green spaces, less pollution and the removal of industrial warehouses near residential neighborhoods. Residents and environmental advocates hope to find allies to tackle the issues among the new Dallas City Council that will be elected in the May 3 election; potholes, sidewalks and parks don't have political affiliations, and because of that, city elections are historically nonpartisan. There are no primaries for Democrats or Republicans. But they are leaning more left and right as the May 3 election nears; and Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the Vatican camerlengo and a former bishop of the Dallas Catholic Diocese, announced the death of Pope Francis early Monday. While he holds administrative authority during the transitional period, he does not make significant decisions on doctrine or church policy. His role is to maintain order and uphold the sacred traditions of the papacy until a new pope is chosen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Four students were wounded in a shooting Tuesday afternoon at Wilmer-Hutchins High School in Dallas — nearly a year to the day since gunfire erupted on the same campus. Officers were dispatched about 1 p.m. to the school. In other news, Texas public health officials on Tuesday reported an additional 20 measles cases in the ongoing outbreak, for a total of 561 measles cases reported in the past two and a half months; while national interest in President John F. Kennedy's assassination continues to thrive, the Dallas County building that has exhibited the history of that event for 36 years has fallen apart.

As measles continue to spread in Texas, health officials in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are looking to add testing centers to get quicker returns on measles tests.

In today's episode of Research Like a Pro, Diana and Nicole discuss the value of negative evidence in genealogy research. They explore the case of Henderson Weatherford, who was long assumed to be the son of William Weatherford. However, a careful examination of William's probate records reveals that Henderson is not listed among the heirs. Additionally, tax records show that Henderson disappeared from the tax rolls between 1861 and 1862, and his property was subsequently listed under his son-in-law's name. The absence of a probate file for Henderson in Dallas County further supports the theory that he was not related to the established Weatherford family in the area.  The hosts emphasize the importance of thoroughly searching available records and documenting negative searches. By paying close attention to what is missing from the records, researchers can disprove family relationships, narrow down time periods for events, and find new research directions.

In Episode #339 of Research Like a Pro, Nicole and Diana discuss customizing an Airtable research log for tax research. Tax records are invaluable for genealogy research because they were taken annually, filling in the gaps between federal censuses. The challenge is finding a good way to track and analyze the data. Airtable is a favorite research log tool, and by adding a linked table to the log, researchers can tame tax data and make it work for them. Diana shares a case study using her ancestor, Henderson Weatherford, who resided in Dallas County in 1860 and appeared on a tax list that same year. She wanted to track the Weatherfords who showed up in Dallas County by 1850 to see if there was any connection to her ancestor. Nicole explains the technical setup in Airtable, starting with the RLP with DNA 4.0 (2024) Airtable base template and adding a new table by matching the headings in the new table to the headings on a tax list. Diana explains how she analyzes the data in the Airtable research log by grouping the tax table by an individual to view their economic status. She gives practical applications of her research process and concludes that tax records are valuable in genealogy research. Listeners will learn how to use Airtable to track and analyze tax data to further their genealogy research. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.

Nicole and Diana discuss Diana's recent project on Isabella Weatherford, demonstrating how she used both traditional methods and AI assistance to log her research effectively. Diana reviews the research plan she created using AI, including the objective to examine the economic and social conditions in Dallas County, Texas, in the early 1870s and their influence on Isabella's life and marriage prospects. Diana followed the research plan, beginning with county histories. She used Claude, an AI assistant, to transcribe and summarize the dense text, which provided valuable insights into the history and economics of the area. Next, Diana searched newspapers and the census. She located the Weatherford family in the 1860 census but had difficulty finding them in 1870. Diana expanded her search to Missouri and finally found the family in Camden County with misspellings and indexing errors. Her tax research revealed valuable information about Isabella's father's property and tax obligations. Diana also investigated migration patterns and how the development of railroads, such as the Texas and Pacific Railway, might have impacted Isabella's family's movements. Listeners will learn how to use AI to assist with research logging, specifically how to transcribe and summarize historical texts, and also how to use traditional research methods such as newspapers, census records, and tax records.

After guiding the Texas county through the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Philip Huang, its health director, pushed for collaboration and long-term strategies to prepare for future crises. Data modernization proved to be crucial. Huang has spent his career navigating the complexities of public health with a mission to impact as many families as possible. From his early experiences in Nepal that shifted his focus from family medicine to public health, to leading Dallas County through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the county health director has championed data modernization and transparency as key tools in building public trust. His unique perspective, shaped by work at local, state and federal levels, drives his vision for a more resilient, collaborative and depoliticized approach to public health in the future. Huang is one of Governing's* 2024 Public Officials of the Year, a special recognition of people who make government work. Governing Senior Staff Writer Carl Smith joins the podcast to discuss Huang's work and review the key takeaways from his interview with Huang. SHOW NOTES: Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode: Motivation for Pursuing Public Health: Huang, Dallas County's health director, shifted from family medicine to public health after a formative experience in Nepal. He realized he could impact more families by addressing broader public health issues rather than individual patient care. Public Health Challenges During COVID-19: Huang was frustrated with political polarization surrounding public health during COVID-19. He stresses the need for long-term strategies and infrastructure to better prepare for future pandemics, highlighting the importance of depoliticizing health recommendations. Data Modernization for Effective Public Health: There is a life-or-death need for robust data systems in public health. Early in the pandemic, Dallas County relied on outdated methods like fax and paper. The modernization of data infrastructure allowed for better decision-making and community trust during the pandemic. Building and Sustaining Public Trust: Transparency and communication with the public played a key role in building trust. Huang's efforts included establishing a public health portal and regularly sharing data and updates to keep the community informed. Collaboration Across Public Health Levels: Huang's experience working at local, state and federal levels gives him a unique perspective on how different agencies view public health. He uses this understanding to facilitate communication and cooperation across these sectors, ensuring a more cohesive approach to health challenges.   Related Links to stories referenced in the episode: Public Officials of the Year: Overview Bringing Data to Bear on Public Health Outcomes (Huang POY profile) Our editors used ChatGPT 4.0 to summarize the episode in bullet form to help create the show notes.

Amid a whirlwind of legal developments, a highly relevant case has been making its way through the complex labyrinth of the American justice system. The state's supreme criminal appeals court in Texas recently overturned the conviction of a Dallas County man accused of injuring a child. The decision is a seismic shift, underscoring the sometimes contentious intersection of law and science.Within the context of Donald Trump's conspicuous relationship with the justice system, especially throughout his tenure as the President of the United States, decisions such as these offer a new lens through which to consider the resilience of legal frameworks in the country.Trump has long been an advocate for law and order, asserting the need for a robust system of prosecution to ensure peace and stability. Yet, the recent ruling in the Texas case serves as a reminder that the mechanisms of justice are consistently evolving, influenced as much by legal precedence as by the ever-advancing realm of scientific discovery.Furthermore, to better understand the polarity of views within this framework, it is essential to draw comparisons with advocates of criminal justice reform such as Jack Smith. Smith, known for his staunch belief in the restoration and rehabilitation of criminals, might interpret this ruling as an affirmation of the potential flaws in the system.The shaken baby case in DeSoto brought to light the need for a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of scientific evidence in court proceedings. This need echoes Jack Smith's beliefs about refining the justice system to reflect current societal standards. He argues that the criminal justice system must adapt and integrate emerging scientific evidence for jurisdiction to keep pace with our progressing world.While many celebrate the ruling as a triumph for justice, it inevitably raises queries on the larger implications of such verdicts. Moreover, echoing through the hallways of justice and power in the discussions about law, order, and reform are the voices of influential figures like Donald Trump and Jack Smith.Their varied perspectives represent the broad spectrum of opinions throughout the country. As visible figures in the discourse of criminal justice, their perspectives offer us a deeper understanding of the issues at stake and the avenues for potential reform and progress.In conclusion, the recent ruling in Texas symbolizes the dynamic nature of the American justice system – a system that, guided by figures like Donald Trump and Jack Smith, continues to evolve alongside our developing comprehension of law, science, and society at large. Criminal justice, as shown through the recent verdict, is a multifaceted issue that demands continuous examination and reform.

It is outrageous to think that in a city the size of Dallas that voting machines would fail an initial validation test but that is exactly what happened.  During the recent Logic & Accuracy Test, the Central Accumulator, the main tabulation computer that counts votes on election night, made serious tabulation errors for multiple Dallas County races. Even more shocking is the lack of accountability or sense of urgency to fix the problem.  If Democrats want to steal Texas, their path goes straight through Dallas and Houston.  These issues must be rectified before Election Day. Also, I will play for you a man who may be the worst, most evil Federal Judge in America, Matthew Barret.  He sentenced former Mesa County Colorado Elections Clerk Tina Peters to nine years in Federal Prison for simply trying to expose election fraud.  The judge called her a more dangerous criminal than the violent felons marched through his courtroom.  You will hear his entire speech before laying down this outrageous sentence. And Diddy may face even more problems as 127 more victims come forward.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
