The top local stories this morning from the KERA Newsroom: 41 Texas kids have drowned this year, but a North Texas instructor hopes to change that.

And the cyclospora parasite is back in Texas, with 113 cases of stomach-related illnesses reported so far. This week’s Vital Signs explores how to prevent and treat cyclosporiasis.

You can listen to North Texas stories weekdays at 8:20 a.m. and 6:20 p.m. on KERA 90.1 FM. 

Former KERA staffer Krystina Martinez was an assistant producer. She produced local content for Morning Edition and KERANews.org. She also produced The Friday Conversation, a weekly series of conversations with North Texas newsmakers. Krystina was also the backup newscaster for the Texas Standard.
