More Texans
fall victim to
heat conditions
DALLAS (AP) — The recent
deaths of at least 10 people, including
a man who died Sunday after being
found in his Dallas County mobile
home, are being attributed to the gru
eling heat bearing down on Texas.
"I think the key thing is since the
3rd of July we've had five deaths" in
Dallas County, Charles Gaylor, a field
agent for the Dallas County medical
examiner's office, said.
Sunday was the seventh day in a
row of triple-digit temperatures in
North Texas and the 20th so far this
year. The infamous heat wave of 1980
brought 42 consecutive 100-degree
days starting June 23, with 69 triple
digit days for the season overall.
The area's first heat-related death
occurred June 1, when a 23-year-old
biker died of overheating combined
with pre-existing heart disease.
Since then, six middle-aged or el
derly people, also all with heart prob
lems, have died from heat-related
causes, Gaylord said.
On Sunday, a 58-year-old man,
found in his mobile home late Satur
day, died early the next day at Baylor
University Medical Center.
Gaylord said the man's death was
determined Sunday to be heat-related.
Elsewhere in Texas, the stifling
weather has also taken a toll this year.
A 2-year-old Hillsboro girl who
was left inside a car for more than an
hour has died of heat-related caus
es, and a Fort Worth woman has
died of hyperthermia.
A Waco man reported to have died
of a heart attack while trying to pry his
leg free from a cattle guard is listed as
a heat-related death.
Border authorities have reported
that the harsh weather has con
tributed to at least 30 deaths of peo
ple trying to illegally cross the U.S.-
Mexico border.
The Texas high to date this year was
115, recorded June 15 in Kingsville.
A slight cooldown is on the way,
said Brian Curran of the National
Weather Service in Fort Worth. Tem
peratures at Dallas-Fort Worth In
ternational Airport should peak in
the mid- to upper 90s Tuesday
through Thursday.
He noted: "A high of 96 degrees is
10 degrees cooler than 106."

African-American leaders in Dallas on the declii
DALLAS (AP) — One of only two African-
Americans left among Dallas' top appointed lead
ers is resigning to take a job in Washington.
Assistant City Manager Gene Shi pman, who over
sees the city's troubled Housing Department and
Code Enforcement Division, will leave his job July 24.
Shipman's departure means interim City Secre
tary Shirley Acy is the lone African-American on
the city's appointed staff. Dallas' two top-ranking
African-American staff members — City Manager
John Ware and City Attorney Sam Lindsay — have
announced their resignations, and Assistant City
Manager Levi Davis already has quit.
Council member A1 Lipscomb urged Ware's
replacement, Ted Benavides, to appoint a diverse
executive staff when he takes over the city's top
job in September.
"It must reflect the diversity of this city,"
Lipscomb said.
Benavides, a former assistant city manager in
Dallas who has been Denton city manager since
1996, said Saturday he will look for assistants and
department directors who can bring new ideas to
city government.
"We do need balance ethnically, and I will
pursue that," he told The Dallas Morning News.
"I'm also looking for balance in the way people
approach things."
Shipman, 57, joined the city in May 1996. But in
recent months, several city functions under his
oversight have been criticized as being
