Tragic Fire Leaves Cuero Resident Jacquelyn Taylor Devastated

Tragic Fire Leaves Cuero Resident Jacquelyn Taylor Devastated

Cuero, TX – On Friday, September 13, 2024, Jacquelyn Taylor, aged 73, suffered a tragic loss when a devastating fire consumed her home at 701 North Valley. Left with only the clothes on her back, Jacquelyn now faces a dire situation, having lost all her possessions.

Jacquelyn, who is legally blind and depends on contact lenses for vision, misplaced her contacts in the fire, rendering her nearly sightless. Along with her vision aids, she lost all her clothing, food, medication, and items of sentimental value.

The trauma from the incident has led to nightmares, which have been detrimental to her well-being.

Despite the overwhelming loss, the community has come together to support Jacquelyn. A few clothing items have been provided to her, but much more is needed. A Go Fund Me account has been created for the victim as well as a fundraiser selling T-shirts.  (Links can be found below this article.)

The fire prompted a swift response from multiple departments, including the Cuero Fire Department, Cuero Volunteer Fire Department, Yorktown Volunteer Fire Department, Yoakum Fire Department, Yoakum Volunteer Fire Department, Cuero EMS, Cuero Police Department, DeWitt County Sheriff’s Office, Texas Division of Emergency Management, and the City of Cuero Water and Electric Departments. All crews have since cleared the scene.

A special thank you goes out to the Ladies Auxiliary of Cuero Fire Departments for providing water, Gatorade, and food to all responders. Their support was invaluable during this challenging time.

If you would like to help Jacquelyn Taylor rebuild her life, any donations or support would be greatly appreciated.

Area Candidates Ramp Up Efforts to Revolutionize Texas Public Education in Upcoming Elections

Tonya Lloyd and Stephanie Bassham embarked on their campaign journey at the Multi-Use Pavilion in Victoria on Saturday. Both candidates are united in their dedication to improving public education in Texas and are resolute in their pursuit of change.

Tonya Lloyd, a 17-year public school teacher, is running for the U.S. House to represent Texas’ 27th Congressional District. She is committed to protecting public education from extreme measures that could undermine vital institutions. Lloyd aims to support programs that uplift underserved youth, invest in K-12 students, and improve college affordability.

Bassham, also a newcomer to the political scene is running for Texas House District 30 she shares a similar dedication to enhancing the quality of education in Texas.  Stephanie Bassham grew up in Man, WV, as a real coal miner’s daughter, she witnessed the struggles of rural communities firsthand. Her parents’ strong working-class roots instilled in her a desire to fight in support of fair wages. Educated in small public schools, she values community-based learning and the empathy it fosters. A breast cancer survivor, she advocates for universal healthcare access. Having experienced the challenges of long-term care with her parents, she is deeply committed to addressing the real costs of aging in America.

Both candidates believe that investing in education is crucial for the future of the state and are determined to advocate for policies that benefit students and educators alike.

The event at the Multi-Use Pavilion provided an opportunity for the candidates to connect with the community, share their visions, and gather support for their campaigns. As the election approaches, Lloyd and Bassham are focused on making a positive impact on Texas public education.

Give me a Reason Why Cuero should Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month

Give me a Reason Why Cuero should Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month
Hispanic Heritage month is September 15 through October 15, 2024.  While I couldn’t find any Hispanic Heritage celebrations on local community boards, the Chamber of Commerce, or Hispanic Cultural organizations here in Cuero or DeWitt County, I’m thrilled to share that the Cuero ISD Educational Foundation wrote an article on Hispanic Heritage Month as well as Cuero ISD libraries—John C. French, Hunt Elementary, and Cuero High School—are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with a variety of activities at their libraries. Kudos to them for recognizing the importance of this celebration!

 

According to Cuero’s promotional literature about the city, Cuero is a Spanish word and was named after Cuero Creek, Arroyo del Cuero, or Creek of the Rawhide.  The Spanish called it Arroyo del Cuero because the Native Americans from the area would tan their cattle hides in the creek beds.

Since it was named after Cuero Creek, or Arroyo del Cuero, or Creek of the Rawhide, let’s dive into the translations. The Spanish to English translation of the word “arroyo” is creek or stream, which is generally given as the explanation for how Cuero got its name. The Spanish to English translation of the word “cuero” is leather, skin, or hide.

Now, if we really want to get into the nitty-gritty of the name, let’s look at the word “rawhide.” The English to Spanish translation of rawhide is “cuero crudo”—cuero meaning leather, skin or hide   and “crudo” meaning raw. I know, it’s a bit confusing! So, a literal translation of the name of our town could be “Skin” (ugh!), “Leather,” or “Hide.”

What I’m really guessing the Spanish were saying when they said, Arroyo del Cuero was “Leather Creek or Hide Creek” and not raw hide otherwise our town would be named “Cuero Crudo“, but I really don’t know I wasn’t there nor am I a linguist. I’m simply breaking down the meaning of the word Cuero. But what I do know is that we have this history with the Spanish which should be a good enough reason to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.

Another interesting fact about Cuero’s rich Hispanic roots is that after Mexico got its independence from Spain it was Mexico that granted Green DeWitt the land to settle Cuero.  Yep! it was those Mexicans who gave the Empresario Green DeWitt (Odd but interesting name) the opportunity to settle Europeans in what is now Cuero.  And the Mexicans didn’t care if these Europeans had a green card or if they were legal citizens.  They gave them an opportunity for a better life than the life they had in their mother country.  It was part of Mexico’s efforts to encourage settlement in Texas.

The Hispanic community constitutes approximately 46.4 percent of Cuero’s population, and their rich history and vibrant culture are deeply woven into the fabric of our town.  Hispanic Heritage Month is a fantastic opportunity for everyone to learn, appreciate, and enjoy the contributions of the Hispanic community.

Hispanic Heritage Month was first introduced on September 17, 1968, when Congress passed Public Law 90-48, officially authorizing and requesting the president to issue annual proclamations declaring September 15 and 16 to mark the beginning of National Hispanic Heritage Week.  It called upon the “people of the United States, especially the educational community, to observe the week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.” President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first Hispanic Heritage Week presidential proclamation that same day.

From 1968 to 1988, Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan each issued annual proclamations designating a week to honor Hispanic Americans. In 1987, this week-long observance was extended to the current 31-day period.

National Hispanic Heritage Month is an annual celebration recognizing the contributions, the history and culture of the U.S. Latino and Hispanic communities. It runs from Sunday, September 15, 2024, to Tuesday, October 15, 2024.

The U.S. Latino and Hispanic population are descendants of people from Hispanic countries typically the lands colonized by Spain and where Spanish is the predominant language.  These countries are primarily located in Latin America, including Mexico, most of Central and South America, and parts of the Caribbean.

The term Hispanic or Latino (or the more recent term Latinx) refers to a person’s culture or origin—regardless of race.  On the 2020 Census form, people were counted as Hispanic or Latino or Spanish if they could identify as having Mexican, Mexican American, Chicano, Puerto Rican, Cuban, or “another Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin.

Hispanic Heritage Month coincides with the Independence Day celebrations of several Latin American countries. September 15 marks the beginning of this month to correspond with the independence anniversaries of five Central American nations—Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua—which all proclaimed their independence from Spain on that date in 1821. Mexico announced its independence from Spain on September 16, 1810, and Chile celebrates its Independence Day on September 18, 1810. Meanwhile, Belize gained its independence from Great Britain on September 21, 1981.
