With the regional podium finish now behind him, Taylor turns his attention to Austin, where he will represent Cuero on the biggest stage in Texas high school track and field.

Ribbon Cutting Celebrates Major Improvements to Guadalupe Paddling Trails

By Pat Treviño, May 1, 2026

The Cuero Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting this week to celebrate significant upgrades to the Guadalupe paddling trails and river access points, marking a major step forward for outdoor recreation and nature tourism in the region.

The improvements, completed along FM 766, FM 72, and FM 236, were made possible through the efforts of County Commissioner Pct. 1 Ryan Varela and his crew, who worked to clean, clear, and enhance access along key points of the river. Community leaders say the upgrades will make the Guadalupe more accessible for paddlers, families, and visitors seeking to explore the natural beauty surrounding Cuero.

Newly installed Texas Parks & Wildlife maps and kiosks sponsored by the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (GBRA) now provide clearer navigation and information for those using the trails. The additions are expected to improve safety, orientation, and overall visitor experience.

Several local officials attended the ceremony, including Pct. 1 Commissioner Ryan Varela, Pct. 4 Commissioner Carson, Anna Daniels of GBRA, and Shelly Plante of Texas Parks & Wildlife, underscoring the collaborative nature of the project.

Guests also enjoyed agua fresca from La Flor de Guanajuato, sponsored by GBRA and the Cuero Development Corporation — a refreshing treat after a morning spent along the riverbank.

Community members noted that while the improvements are welcome, additional work remains. Concerns were raised about the condition of boat ramps at several bridges, where deep ruts in the gravel make launching difficult. Chamber representatives responded that, to their understanding, those areas are also scheduled for attention.

Paddling continues to grow as a key part of Cuero’s nature‑based tourism economy. By keeping river access clean, safe, and well‑maintained, local leaders hope to encourage more residents and visitors to unplug, explore, and enjoy the region’s outdoor assets.

With the latest upgrades now complete, Cuero looks forward to more adventures on the Guadalupe — and to continued investment in the natural spaces that make the community shine.

Board Member Joins Cuero High School for Mental Health Awareness Month Kickoff

By Pat Treviño | May 1, 2026

Board member Maddy Schroller Langford of Friends of DeWitt County Children took part in the Mental Health Awareness Month kickoff event held earlier this week at Cuero High School, where students, staff, and community partners gathered for a morning focused on education, support, and visibility.

The event centered on walking the track, sharing mental‑health resources, and encouraging open conversations about emotional well‑being. Participants emphasized the importance of recognizing signs of struggle, reducing stigma, and ensuring that students know help is available.

Organizers noted that having leadership present reinforces the message that mental health is a community priority, not just a school initiative. The kickoff marks the beginning of a month‑long effort to highlight awareness, prevention, and access to support services for young people and families in Cuero.

As Mental Health Awareness Month continues, local organizations and schools plan to host additional activities aimed at promoting resilience, connection, and early intervention.

Yoakum Hospital Honors Auxiliary Volunteers During National Volunteer Month

By Pat Treviño, Cuero Online News

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” Winston Churchill’s words rang especially true this April as Yoakum Community Hospital celebrated National Volunteer Month and recognized the dedicated members of its long‑standing Auxiliary Club.

Founded in 1933, the Auxiliary has been a pillar of service for more than nine decades, supporting patients, families, and hospital staff through countless hours of volunteer work. Today, the group’s well‑known Pink Ladies continue that legacy, operating the hospital gift shop and offering encouragement, kindness, and comfort to everyone who walks through the doors.

This year’s honored volunteers include: Jea

nnette, Polly, Gloria, Joyce, Mary, and Elaine, whose commitment keeps the Auxiliary’s mission thriving. Hospital leadership expressed deep gratitude for their selfless contributions, noting that their presence brings both practical support and heartfelt warmth to the facility.

The Auxiliary remains open to new members and encourages community participation from those who feel called to serve. Volunteers play a vital role in rural healthcare, where personal connection and compassion are often just as important as clinical care.

Residents can learn more about the Auxiliary Club and volunteer opportunities through the hospital’s website.

Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum Showcases New “Lonesome Dove” Photography Exhibition

By Pat Treviño, Cuero Online News

CUERO, TX -The Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum has opened a powerful new exhibition celebrating one of the most enduring Western stories in American literature and film. The showcase, titled “Lonesome Dove,” is now on display through July 11, 2026, offering visitors a rare visual journey into the making of the acclaimed 1989 CBS miniseries.

Based on Larry McMurtry’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel, Lonesome Dove follows two retired Texas Rangers who push a cattle herd from the Rio Grande all the way to Montana, carving out the first ranch in the territory. The novel’s sweeping narrative and unforgettable characters captured the imagination of readers nationwide, and the television adaptation introduced the epic tale to millions more.

The museum’s new exhibition brings that world to life through the lens of Bill Wittliff, the celebrated photographer, writer, and executive producer of the miniseries. His images—far more than standard production stills—reveal the grit, scale, and artistry behind the filming. Each photograph reflects the intersection of storytelling, history, and visual craftsmanship that made Lonesome Dove a cultural landmark.

This traveling exhibition was developed by The Wittliff Collections at Texas State University and is presented in partnership with Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Together, these institutions have created an experience that honors both the creative legacy of the miniseries and the broader heritage of the American West.

The exhibit is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum, 302 N. Esplanade in Cuero. Museum staff encourage visitors not to miss this limited‑run opportunity to explore one of Texas’s most iconic stories through a new artistic lens.

Update: Cuero Record Confirms Printing Continues Despite Office Closure

By Pat Treviño | April 28, 2026

Times Media Group President Steve Strickbine reached out to me directly yesterday evening to clarify the status of The Cuero Record following community concerns about whether the newspaper was still being printed. According to Strickbine, the Record continues to publish its print edition, and subscriptions remain available, despite the closure of the longtime Main Street office.

Strickbine explained that the office was shut down because the building remains under the ownership of former publisher Jim Moser, who plans to sell the property. With no local facility, the Record no longer maintains a newsroom or staff presence in DeWitt County. For now, the Cuero Chambers of Commerce are assisting by allowing readers and advertisers to pick up newspapers and make payments at their offices.

While printing continues, there are no known full‑time reporters assigned to cover DeWitt County, and TMG has not indicated when — or if — a dedicated local journalist will be hired. Strickbine said the company is still evaluating staffing needs across Texas after acquiring more than 30 newspapers, relying heavily on a statewide network of freelancers whose availability for Cuero coverage remains uncertain.

Strickbine also noted that the DeWitt County Historical Commission may contact TMG to pick up any remaining photographs still in the company’s possession. He added that arrangements can be made with staff for anyone needing to retrieve additional photos or historical materials that were part of The Cuero Record’s archives — at least while they still have access to the building.

For now, the message to the community is clear: The Cuero Record continues to print and continues to offer subscriptions, but the future of its local reporting footprint — and its long‑term presence in DeWitt County — remains unsettled.
