Secretary of State Issues Guidance to Protect Voter Privacy

Secretary of State Jane Nelson today issued an advisory on the urgent need to protect the privacy of Texas voters. The advisory comes at a time when there are claims of publicly disclosing ballots for political purposes.

“Every Texan has the right to a secret ballot, and that right must remain sacred. It is unacceptable for any voter to have their ballot choices publicized,” Secretary Nelson said. “I am issuing emergency guidance to protect the privacy of Texas voters.”

Emergency Advisory No. 2024-20, released today by the Secretary of State,

directs counties to redact any information that would connect a voter to their ballot choices. The advisory says, “the general custodian of election records must adopt procedures to ensure that any personally identifiable information of a voter that is contained on a ballot is redacted before making the voted ballot available for public inspection.”

The advisory suggests specific categories counties should consider when evaluating a public information request that could reveal ballot choices. That information could include: the location at which a voter

casts a ballot, precinct information on the ballot image, or polling place identifiers such as a ballot number either electronic or pre-printed.

The advisory also calls for protecting transparency in elections by outlining that, “these redactions must be as limited as possible in order to protect the public’s right to review and inspect election records.”

As a reminder, parties who choose to publicize ballot information could face legal action under state and federal law if the release of information is tied to voter intimidation, bribery or coercion.

The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Vice President and Director of Athletics Chasse Conque announced on Friday the promotion of Devin Oliveira to assistant athletic director for stadium operations and Klarissa Rodriguez to assistant athletic director for business operations.

Most affordable college in the country Pharr Proclaims June 2024 as “Alzheimer’s Brain Awareness Month”

Following a rich history of being recognized for its dedication to excellence, South Texas College has once again been ranked among the top colleges in the country.

This year, the college achieved the highest national ranking for the Most Affordable College Programs by University HQ, an independent educational organization dedicated to providing valuable information to students pursuing higher education.

“We are constantly looking for ways to provide affordable education and help our students graduate debt-free. This recognition is a testament to our dedication,” said STC President Ricardo J. Solis, Ph.D. “We are honored to be named the most affordable college in Texas and the nation.”

This year, STC also received national rankings for its Affordable Operations Management, Affordable Health Care Management and Most Affordable Information Technology (IT) Programs, and was also one of the Top 25 Lowest Tuition Online College Programs.

In a release, the organization states that, “When it comes to cost, STC is a great value in higher education.”

“Our efforts have a profound impact on our community, and we are keenly aware of this,” added Solis. “By provid-

ing quality higher education and making it accessible and affordable, we empower individuals to improve their lives and, in turn, uplift their families and community. We are deeply committed to making a lasting difference in the lives of our students and the Rio Grande Valley.”

University HQ bills itself as an all-in-one source for information on colleges, entrance requirements and career paths meant to provide career guides for students.

The organization also placed STC among the Best Online Community Colleges in Texas and the Top 25 Colleges for Online Associate Degrees in Social Work, English Education, Sociology and Communications.

“Being recognized as one of the top Texas colleges in multiple categories by University HQ is a testament to STC’s unwavering commitment to providing quality programs at an affordable price,” said STC Vice President of Academic Affairs and Provost Anahid Petrosian, Ph.D. “Excellence is not just a goal at STC; it is a standard embedded in all our programs.”

Petrosian added that through ongoing external accreditation, the college continually evaluates its curriculum and student outcomes to stay focused on continuous improvement and innovation.

With 130 degree and certificate options, which include five baccalaureate degrees and 37 fully online programs, STC is one of the state’s leading colleges with a large presence of five campuses, a Regional Center for Public Safety Excellence, two Higher Education Centers, a virtual campus, and an average enrollment of nearly 30,000 students each semester.

In 2023, STC was named a Top 10 College in the nation by Hispanic Outlook on Education Magazine for associate degrees granted, its enrollment as a four-year school and for its majors in Homeland Security, Law Enforcement, Firefighting and related services.

It was also second in the nation for most affordable online Bachelor Degrees by The Community for Accredited Online Schools (AccreditedSchoolsOnline.org), and recognized by NICHE with the 6th position for Safest College Campus in Texas and 12th for Best College Location in Texas.

“Our success stems from a combination of dedicated faculty, innovative curriculum, state-of-the-art facilities, and a supportive learning environment, which collectively create a dynamic educational experience preparing students for success in today’s competitive job market,” said Petrosian. “As we celebrate this achievement, we also look ahead to expanding our resources, enhancing student support and strengthening our partnerships to ensure that STC remains at the forefront of higher education.” Unlock exclusive

The Pharr City Commission has approved a proclamation declaring June 2024 as “Alzheimer’s Brain Awareness Month.” This important initiative aims to acknowledge and address the devastating impact of Alzheimer’s disease, which currently affects approximately 7 million people across the United States, including 459,300 individuals in Texas alone.

The Impact of Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease is a significant public health issue, ranking as the sixth leading cause of death nationally and the fifth among the elderly. The societal costs are immense, with direct care expenses valued at $347 billion annually. In Texas, 1.1 million caregivers provide an estimated 1.8 billion hours of unpaid care each year, contributing an economic value of $25.8 billion.

Proclamation Presentation

The proclamation was presented to Maxine P. Vieyra, Program Manager of the Alzheimer’s Association. During the presentation, Vieyra highlighted the importance of brain health and encouraged the community to adopt healthier lifestyles. “This year we are encouraging everyone to take care of their brain health by building healthy habits such as exercising, not smoking, and changing their diets to help improve brain function,” announced Vieyra.

Community Involvement

Vieyra expressed gratitude to the City of Pharr for their support in raising awareness about Alzheimer’s disease. “We are thankful to the City of Pharr for supporting this proclamation and helping us spread awareness throughout the month and we hope you will also join us in wearing purple to highlight this important cause,” she added.

Encouragement and Support

The city recognizes the invaluable efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association in raising funds and awareness to combat this disease. Pharr encourages all residents to support initiatives aimed at enhancing care and improving the quality of life for those affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias. The City of Pharr invites everyone to participate in Alzheimer’s Brain Awareness Month by wearing purple and engaging in activities that promote brain health. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.

Quarterly LGBTQI+ Rights Community Stakeholder Meeting

Office of Public Affairs | U.S. Department of Justice

Marking the first week of Pride Month, the Justice Department convened its quarterly interagency meeting with LGBTQI+ community stakeholders. Acting Associate Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer spoke with those at the meeting and underscored the Department’s commitment to supporting LGBTQI+ communities through our enforcement and grantmaking activities. Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division and the division’s LGBTQI+ Working Group outlined several civil and

Girl Scouts of Greater South Texas Graduating Seniors

criminal enforcement efforts.

“Protecting civil rights is at the core of the Justice Department’s mission. As we seek to advance equality for LGBTQI+ Americans, the Department remains committed to bringing all resources to bear in that fight,” said Acting Associate Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer. “Our efforts span the entire Department and include our pursuit of litigation to protect access to gender-affirming healthcare for transgender adults and minors, and our grants to organizations as well as state and local agencies working to prevent hate crimes and provide trauma-informed support to survivors. While progress is not

always easy, we will not let up in our fight to ensure equal justice for everyone, regardless of what they look like, how they worship, or who they love.”

“The Civil Rights Division’s efforts to protect the rights of the LGBTQI+ community are wide-ranging efforts to protect children subjected to bullying and harassment, expand opportunities in education and employment, ensure access to necessary health care, and prosecute those who commit unlawful hate-motivated violence,” said Assistant Attorney General Clarke. “As we continue celebrating Pride Month, we stand ready to use every tool available to

safeguard the dignity, safety and civil rights of the LGBTQI+ community to ensure the full protections and guarantees of the U.S. Constitution and federal laws.”

Representatives from the Civil Rights Division, FBI, Community Relations Service Office of Justice Programs, and Office on Violence Against Women, heard from attending organizations on an array of topics, including student safety and well-being, health data privacy, anti-LGBTQI+ violence and hate, HIV discrimination, grant funding concerns, and the need to increase intersex awareness. Representatives from other government agencies, including the Departments of Health and Human Services, Education, Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs, Labor, and Housing and Urban Development, as well as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Environmental Protection Agency, National Endowment of the Arts, AmeriCorps, and others, were also in attendance.

This week’s meeting strengthens the Justice Department’s commitment to aggressively protecting LGBTQI+ rights, including through building relationships with LGBTQI+ organizations and stakeholders. The department’s recent work on LGBTQI+ rights includes statements of interest and lawsuits challenging state bans on gender-affirming health care for transgender people in Indiana and Idaho. The department has also vindicated the rights of LGBTQI+ people under the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. The department has prosecuted hate crimes based on LGBTQI+ status, including securing its first guilty verdict in a trial under the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act for killing a transgender woman. These and other efforts by the Civil Rights Division can be found on its website at its LGBTQI+ Working Group page.

We are delighted to celebrate the achievements of the Girl Scouts of Greater South Texas graduating seniors. At the recent Edinburg City Council meeting, certificates were proudly presented to the outstanding members of Troop No. 059, Troop No. 62, Troop No. 65, Troop No. 1008, and Troop Juliette.

Your dedication, hard work, and commitment to making a positive impact

have truly paid off. Each of you has demonstrated remarkable perseverance and passion, embodying the true spirit of the Girl Scouts.

Here’s to your bright futures! May you continue to inspire and lead the way, just as you have throughout your time with the Girl Scouts. Congratulations once again, and best wishes for your next adventures!

UTRGV ATHLETICS PROMOTES DEVIN OLIVEIRA AND KLARISSA RODRIGUEZ

RIO GRANDE VALLEY – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Vice President and Director of Athletics Chasse Conque announced on Friday the promotion of Devin Oliveira to assistant athletic director for stadium operations and Klarissa Rodriguez to assistant athletic director for business operations.

Devin Oliveira

In his new role, Oliveira will oversee day to day management of the Robert and Janet Vackar Stadium and UTRGV Baseball Stadium. He will also manage the upcoming renovations to Robert and Janet Vackar Stadium as the stadium is updated to accommodate UTRGV football games.

“Devin has been an integral part of the facilities and operations team over the past three years,” said John Evans senior associate athletic director for operations. “His strong work ethic and attention to detail has been extremely valuable during this period of growth for UTRGV Athletics.”

Oliveira has been a crucial member of the UTRGV Athletics Operations team through a variety of projects over the past three years as assistant director of facilities and game operations and as events coordinator.

“I’m humbled by the opportunity and thankful for the trust and support that Chasse and John continue to show me,” Oliveira said. “I’m excited to spearhead the department’s efforts to build a first-class Division 1 football stadium for the Valley.”

Oliveira led the recent $2.5 million dollar enhancements at the UTRGV Baseball Stadium that included new chairback seats, a brick backstop, and new walls extending down the left and right field foul lines and all around the outfield. New home plate club seating additionally upgraded the stadium experience.

Oliveira also led the upgrades to the Clubhouse at the UTRGV Baseball Stadium prior to last season, when the Vaqueros received new lockers with padded seating, dynamic graphics and signage, and a fueling area for student-athletes.

“Devin did an outstanding job managing both phases of the UTRGV Baseball Stadium renovations which is now one of the best facilities in the nation,” Evans said. “Devin is well prepared to oversee the upcoming renovations to Robert and Janet Vackar Stadium in preparation of our inaugural football season in 2025.”

Klarissa Rodriguez

In her new role as assistant athletic director for business operations, Rodriguez works closely with Human Resources in several ways. She is the point of contact for legal, handling the adjustment of salaries, employment contracts and volunteers, and oversees all inventory assets for all departments across UTRGV Athletics. She is also the lead for submitting hiring proposals for athletics staff: full-time, part-time, and student employees.

“Since beginning as a student worker nearly 10 years ago, Klarissa has proven to be a dedicated and hardworking leader within the athletic department,” said James Martinez, senior associate athletic director for business operations. “Klarissa has accepted each challenge with a positive attitude and eagerness to learn. Because of this, I’m proud to call her a colleague and happy she is being recognized for her commitment to this department and university.”

Prior to her new role, Rodriguez served as the business operations manager where she would provide accounting and purchasing support to the business staff while also assisting in the coordination of team travel.

“I am very grateful and happy of having the opportunity to grow along with UTRGV Athletics,” Rodriguez said. “To see the changes and expansion in the department has been an incredible experience and an amazing journey. I am truly honored to be part of such a great team.

Rodriguez started her second stint with UTRGV Athletics in the fall of 2017 as the travel and insurance coordinator where she would coordinate team and recruiting travel as well as managing credit card reconciliations. In her first stint with UTRGV, Rodriguez worked as a business office assistant in January 2015.

Rodriguez graduated from UTRGV in December of 2016 with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting and earned a Resource Management certificate in April of 2023.

The Importance of Men’s Health Month

Men are encouraged to consider their physical, mental, and social health at every life stage. Men’s Health Week and Month raise awareness of these aspects and remind men to take charge of their health.

What is Men’s Health Week?

Established in 1994, National Men’s Health Week educates men, boys, and their families about positive health attitudes and preventive practices. Now observed globally as International Men’s Health Week, it starts the Monday before Father’s Day and ends on Father’s Day. The week aims to raise awareness of preventable health issues, promote healthier lifestyle choices, and encourage early detection and treatment of diseases like cancer, heart disease, and depression.

What is Men’s Health Month?

Men’s Health Month in the United States is observed every June. This month aims to raise awareness of the same health concerns of Men’s Health Week but lasts the whole month. It is different from Movember, which is held in November and focuses on men’s mental health as well as prostate cancer. During the month of June, men are encouraged to set goals for their own health and wellness and begin to create a roadmap for achieving those goals.

The physical aspect of men’s health

Men 15-65 years of age are significantly less likely than women to seek preventive care services, and they are more likely to report not having a primary care provider. A good first step on the path toward improved health is to make a call and establish with a primary care provider (PCP). A PCP will review medical, surgical and family history and recommend age- and risk-appropriate health screenings.

Recommended screenings for young men (18-39)

Men in this age range are encouraged to discuss the health concerns below with their doctors. These discussions can be part of a yearly annual wellness visit. While you may think you don’t need some of these tests, establishing a base line can be useful for continued health monitoring as you age, or as more acute health concerns arise.

• Physical exam: check blood pressure, screen for obesity and assess body composition (waist circumference). Testicular exam and testicular self-exam are important at this age.

• Metabolic screening: fasting blood sugar and fasting lipid profile based on risk and family history.

• Vaccines: influenza, COVID-19, Hepa-

titis A/B, HPV, Tdap and MMR should be considered.

• STI screening: HIV, Hepatitis B/C, syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia screening should be considered, and pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV (PreP) should be discussed.

• Assessment of risky behaviors: discuss any use of tobacco, alcohol, recreational drugs, anabolic steroids, as well as use of seatbelts and helmets and gun safety.

• Family planning: “pre-conception” counseling to educate men that adopting a healthy lifestyle—exercising, eating healthy foods, and avoiding substances—at an early age improves the chances of conceiving and having a healthy pregnancy and a healthy child.

Recommended screenings for adult men over 40

These screenings are similar to those recommended for younger men but start to look at health concerns that most often appear in middle age.

• Physical exam: check blood pressure, screen for obesity, measure body composition and consider prostate exam (in some cases).

• Metabolic screening: fasting blood sugar and fasting lipid profile and estimation of cardiovascular risk.

• Vaccines: influenza, covid-19, Hepatitis A/B, HPV (through age 45), Tdap and MMR. Shingles vaccine is recommended for adults over 50.

• STI screening: HIV, Hepatitis B/C, syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia screening should be considered, and pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV (PreP) should be discussed.

• Cardiovascular screening: based on risk and symptoms (may include stress testing or coronary artery calcium score).

• Cancer screening: based on family history and personal risks. May include prostate, colon and lung cancer screening as well as skin exam.

• Eye exam.

Recommended screenings for adult men over 65

Older men should continue to evaluate their health and make lifestyle changes based on conversations with their doctors to ensure they are able to live life to the fullest.

• Physical exam: blood pressure, height and weight, waist circumference and

prostate exam.

• Metabolic screening: fasting blood sugar, fasting lipid profile, thyroid function (in some cases).

• Vaccines: influenza, covid-19, Hepatitis A/B, Tdap, Pneumovax/Prevnar and Shingles.

• STI screening: based on risk.

• Cardiovascular screening: abdominal ultrasound, coronary artery calcium score and stress testing based on risk and symptoms.

• Cancer screening: prostate, colon and lung as well as skin exam.

• Osteoporosis: screening should be considered in men over 70, men who lose height over time or have a low impact fracture. Fall risk assessment should be completed.

• Eye exam.

The American Urology Association has published a Men’s Health Checklist with a detailed description of recommended health screenings for men of all ages.

A complete list of recommended adult vaccinations is available from the Centers for Disease Control.

Men’s Mental Health

Mental health is crucial for overall well-being at any age. Men are more prone to “deaths of despair” like alcoholism, overdose, and suicide, yet they are less likely to seek mental health services compared to women. Untreated mood disorders in young men can lead to impaired learning, risky behaviors, substance abuse, and violence. Adult men with chronic illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease have poorer outcomes if they also suffer from depression, which also reduces longevity in older men. Men should recognize symptoms of depression and anxiety and know when to seek help. Organizations like HeadsUpGuys, the National Black Men’s Health Network, Don’t Change Much, and the Movember Foundation offer self-care tips and online self-assessment tools. Discussing mental health openly can help men support themselves and each other.

The Importance of Social Connection

Social connection is essential for health and well-being, yet many Americans report loneliness and isolation, increasing the risk of heart disease, dementia, stroke, depression, and anxiety. Lack of social connection can shorten life comparable to smoking. Conversely, social connections improve health, reduce stress, and boost the immune system. Simple actions like answering a friend’s call, sharing a meal, or volunteering can help. The US Surgeon General’s advisory on loneliness outlines actions to stay connected at all levels.
