Work to begin at CHS in January $27m project includes classrooms, gym, performing arts center

BY GLENN REA THE CUERO RECORD The next major step for Cuero ISD construction is about to begin. At last week’s trustee meeting, the board agreed to a $27 million project at Cuero High School.

Part of a $76 million bond issue, the work scheduled at CHS will include 15 new classrooms, performing arts center, competition gym, band/choir hall, and boys and girls sports

field house/locker rooms.

In 2013 when voters approved the bond issue, the district planned improvements for each campus.

Both Cuero Intermediate School and Gobbler Stadium have been refurbished. Work has begun on a new 8th grade wing at CJHS and land has been purchased for construction of a new Hunt Elementary campus.

Work is expected to begin at Cuero High School shortly after

the first of the year.

According to the discussion at Thursday’s meeting, the improvements at CHS will cost just over $27.4 million.

When completed the high school will have 15 additional classrooms along with the 800 seat performing arts center.

Also planned are renovations that will provide a new art room, expanded ag classroom and shop, and conversion of the former special ed cooperative building to administrative of-

fices.

Architect for these projects will be Claycomb Associates, Architects out of Austin and the contractor will be Weaver-Jacobs Constructors from Cuero.

Along with approving the cost of the high school improvements, the trustees also explained the funding.

Board vice president B.J. Drehr said $23.6 million will come from the 2013 bond issue, See WORK, 3A

Perry, Abbott react to Obama’s executive action on immigration STATE CAPITAL HIGHLIGHTS

BY ED STERLING TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION AUSTIN — President Barack Obama on Nov. 20 announced his decision to take executive action on immigration because Congress has not acted on immigration reform to address the presence and inflow of undocumented residents.

“In order to temporarily stay in the U.S. without fear of deportation, these undocumented parents of U.S. citizens and unlawful permanent residents would have to: Have been here 5+ years, pass a background check, pay taxes,” according to information posted by the White House.

Gov. Rick Perry reacted, saying, “The president’s action tonight will lead to more illegal immigration, not less.” Governor-elect and Attorney General Greg Abbott said he is prepared to challenge the president in court.

Two days before the president’s address to the nation, Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and House Speaker Joe Straus jointly announced their decision to extend funding for the ongoing law enforcement surge at the Texas-Mexico border through the end of the current fiscal year, which ends Aug. 31, 2015.

border security operations are $13.7 million in disaster funds, $47.9 million in Texas Department of Transportation general revenue bond debt service, $17.5 million in Texas Public Finance Authority bond debt service, and $7 million in Emerging Technology Fund revenues.

The three officials said they took action “having established the model for securing the border in the absence of federal action.”

Funding from the Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Military Forces and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, to secure the presence of personnel along the border, is subject to approval by the 10-member Legislative Budget Board at its Dec. 1 meeting. Perry, Straus and Dewhurst are members of that board.

“This approach provides an important bridge to the 2015 legislative session," Straus said. "The state's law enforcement agencies will have the tools and technology they need to continue an enhanced presence on the border. Meanwhile, this funding will allow members of the next Legislature to evaluate the state's border security strategy during the session and make adjustments if necessary.”

According to the governor’s office, funds for the DPS would include the addition of such items as

new shallow-water patrol boats “to expand the surge footprint beyond the Rio Grande Valley Sector.”

Chair comments on frack ban Texas Railroad Commission Chair Christi Craddick, in a Nov. 12 statement, said the passage of a ban on hydraulic fracturing by city of Denton voters in the Nov. 4 general election “has caused a bit of an uproar.”

“As a result of last week’s vote,” Craddick wrote, “it’s less likely a reasonable model of peaceful cooperation will be available to the people of Denton. In the meantime, Denton County will lose jobs, tax revenues, business development, and the other economic benefits that come with oil and gas production, our state’s most iconic and lucrative industry.

Hydraulic fracturing “has never contributed to a single instance of groundwater contamination in our state — never,” she wrote, adding, “Let me be clear: The voice of the people of Denton should not be overruled; rather, cities and state regulators should work together to fulfill their responsibilities to the people. In the end, a solution that keeps the local and state economies strong and the will of Denton’s citizens intact is not only possible, but an obligation.”

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

GVEC CONTINUED FROM 1A their previous location has been purchased and will become the site of a new HEB grocery store.

During the opening ceremonies, Cuero Mayor Sara Post Meyer said that area along Hwy. 87 South could now be referred to as acronym hill.

She said it will now include GVEC, TDECU, CHS and soon HEB. GVEC General Manager and CEO Darren Schauer gave a brief history of the company explaining GVEC and DeWitt Electric Cooperative consolidated in 2002.

“That has been a very successful consolidation of two entities. It’s allowed us to take advantage of economies of scale. It’s allowed us to benefit from more suburban populations, from more densely populated areas and as it has turned out a very fast growing area here in Gonzales and DeWitt counties,” he said.

The 10,000-square-foot customer service center features an expanded drive-through lane, an ample customer service lobby, and a large community room available for use by nonprofit community organizations at no charge. Solar panels installed at the facility will serve to educate the public about the technology and offset the electric usage of the building.

The GVEC Home showroom is located inside the Customer Service Center and is open to the public. It is a full-service appliance store offering sales and service of energy-efficient, brandname home appliances and air conditioning and heating systems. The

store also carries water heaters, countertop appliances, cooking utensils and solar panel systems for residents wanting to get a firsthand look.

The Southern Operations Center, located on an 11-acre site, includes 9,000 square feet of office space and 10,000 square feet of warehousing and transportation space.

This facility will be used for training and also offers opportunities for enhanced efficiency through the consolidation of services such as purchasing, material handling, fleet maintenance and storage.

Both Schauer and GVEC Board President Lewis Borgfeld referred to the significant growth in the area as a result of Eagle Ford Shale.

“With the projections of the oil and gas industry,” Schauer said, “growth in this area expects to reach far into the future. There are no signs of slowing down anytime soon.”

“GVEC has a rich tradition of not only providing reliable power to our members, but also developing products and services that will add value to their lives. These two facilities represent our ongoing commitment to serve the GVEC membership now and well into the future,” said Borgfeld.

GVEC is an electric cooperative that serves over 74,000 meters across 13 Texas counties.

The service area spans 3,500 square miles across South Central Texas. The headquarter office is located in Gonzales with four area offices in the cities of Schertz, Seguin, La Vernia and Cuero.

Boys & Girls Club of DeWitt County hopes to raise 250k

BY ELIZABETH RODRIGUEZ THE CUERO RECORD

The Boys & Girls Club has a lofty goal — to raise $250,000 in one day.

On Giving Tuesday, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (Dec. 2), the club will accept donations toward the goal.

Donations may be made in person, by calling the club at 361-524-0005 or visiting the club’s website (www.bgcofdewittcounty.org).

Unit director Shannon Haun said an anonymous donor has agreed to match donations dollar to dollar up to $250,000. So the group could raise $500,000 in one day.

“Every dollar that someone gives us in counting twice,” Haun said.

Cuero mayor Sara Post Meyer presented the club with a proclamation recognizing Giving Tuesday at the Nov. 20 council meeting.

According to Boys and Girls Club of DeWitt County executive

director Kelvin Washington, operating costs for the club will be $300,000-$350,000 next year.

Eventually, Washington and Haun said their goal is for the Boys & Girls Club of DeWitt County to become a chartered club. In order to become a chartered club, a year of funding must be raised. They said they hope to get the club chartered by the end of next year.

The Boys & Girls Club of DeWitt County has 162 members enrolled. About 80-90 kids visit the club daily. The club has a waitlist of about 20 kids. “[This fundraiser] is about keeping the doors open and having a safe place for kids,” Haun said. “When we put our sign up in the summer, one of the kids commented that they were so excited because now they knew we were here to stay. After that I thought, ‘We have to do whatever we need to do to keep this place up and running.’”

Parents, caregivers and others who drive with children under the age of 13 are encouraged to stop by from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 2 at the Friar Ag Center, 301 Airport Road, across from Walmart, in Cuero.

Participants are asked to bring their child and seat, and know the child’s weight and height.

Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians will be on-hand to provide free education on how to use car seats, booster seats, and seat belts for children. Technicians can also help educate consumers about choosing the right car seat for their child, the importance of registering car seats with the manufacturer, and what to expect should that seat be subject to a safety recall.

Car seats, booster seats and seat belts offer the best protection for children in crashes. The National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration has released the following data for crashes nationwide: • Car crashes are a leading cause of death for children 1 to 13 years old.

• During the 5-year period from 2008 to 2012, more than 3,390 children were killed in car crashes. In addition, an estimated 613,000 children were injured.

• In 2012 alone, 121,000 children under age 13 were injured as passengers in car crashes.

• In 2012, over one third (37 percent) of children killed in car crashes were not in car seats, booster seats, or seat belts.

• Every 34 seconds one child, under age 13, is involved in a crash.

For those who are unable to attend this event, TxDOT offers free safety seat check-ups in each of the 25 district offices throughout Texas year round by appointment.

YOAKUM – The Texas Department of Transportation has awarded a $202,141 contract to Constar Construction of Victoria to replace a bridge on Old Gonzales Road just north of Cuero. Construction is due to begin the first week of December, with completion scheduled in February 2015.

AUSTIN — Texas Comptroller Susan Combs said on Nov. 5 that state sales tax revenue in October was $2.41 billion, up 12.9 percent compared to October 2013.

In this payment period, Cuero showed an 8.41 percent decrease over the same period last year, while Yorktown had a 22.74 percent increase and Nordheim had a 33.99 percent increase.

In payments to date, Cuero showed a 13.74 percent increase over the same period last year and Nordheim showed a 43.49 percent increase, while Yorktown showed a 25.86 percent decrease.

Cuero has now received $3,110,788 from its sales tax rebate which compares to $2,734,845 a year ago.

Yorktown’s checks have totaled $403,422 compared to $544,169 a year ago. Nordheim’s checks have totaled $47,903 compared to $33,382 a year ago.

The project will require the complete closure of the intersection of Old Gonzales Road and Ed Blackwell Road. Motorists will need to find alternate routes around the project area.

The current bridge, built in 1940, has been deemed structurally deficient and cannot accommodate vehicles weighing

pion in the Commercial Division was the Oconee Variety entered by James Rother of Hallettsville.

Grand Champion in the Native Division was the entry from Lloyd and Connie Boedeker of Cuero. Reserve Champion in the Native Division was the entry from Richard Zimmerman of Cuero.

The Pecan Show committee also sponsors a Pecan Pie Contest and a Youth Poster Contest. The winners of these two contests also received cash awards donated by the Cuero Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture.

Pat Elder of Cuero won the Adult Division and Jeri Ficklen of Arneckeville won the Youth Division of the Pecan Pie Contest.

Madison Pelletier of Yorktown placed first in the Youth Poster Contest, Jeri Ficken of Arneckeville placed second and Faith Chavez of Meyersville placed third.

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, Family and Consumer Sciences Bake Show was also held at the Friar Ag Center on Nov. 17 and 18.

Following are the Pecan Bake Show results.

Grand Champion Youth winner was Cami Nall of Meyersville, who entered German chocolate pecan pie bars, Reserve Champion Youth winner was Gina Merzbacher of Cuero, who entered pecan coconut brownies, Grand Champion Adult winner was Pat Elder of Cuero, who entered pecan pie and Reserve Champion Adult winner was Tammy Bitterly of Cuero, who entered pecan pie.

In comparison, Goliad showed a 2.37 percent decrease in payments to date, Gonzales showed a 14.75 percent increase, Nixon showed a 62.19 increase. Hallettsville showed a 4.25 percent increase, Moulton showed a 15.9 percent increase, Shiner showed a 14.81 percent increase and Yoakum showed a 34.6 percent increase.

“Strong growth in sales tax receipts was apparent across all major economic sectors,” Combs said. “Notable increases from retail trade and the oil and natural gas-related sectors led the growth, indicating increased spending by both consumers and businesses.”

Combs will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts their November local sales tax allocations totaling $723.1 million, up 10.5 percent compared to November 2013.

Police seek info on drive-by The Cuero Police Department was called out to a drive-by shooting at the 700 block of East Newman Street on Nov. 19 at 8:15 p.m.

According to reports from the Cuero PD, shots were fired into a home on 700 block East Newman Street. There were seven occupants inside, three adults and four children.

The ages of the children

are 10, 7, 4 and 2.

A dark colored, fourdoor Cadillac was seen driving down the street.

From the vehicle, four to five shots were fired at the residence. No persons were hit. A 2013 Chrysler that was parked on the property did sustain damage.

After the shots were fired, the suspect vehicle left southbound on East

Newman Street heading east on Valley Street.

The suspect vehicle then traveled out on Morgan Street heading west.

There are no suspects at this time.

Anyone who has any information about this event is asked to call the Cuero Police Department at 361-275-3552.

Vehicle hits house, no injuries An elderly couple found themselves parked in one of the front rooms of a rental home last Wednesday.

Sgt. J.J. Hernandez of the Cuero Police Department said a witness saw the incident. According to the witness, the driver of a beige Mercury Grand Marquis was driving south on Frobese Street. He grazed a parked burgundy Ford Fusion at the corner of Frobese and Moss Lane. The driver over-corrected by taking a hard right, driving onto the front yard and into the front

room at 306 Frobese St. The witness went over to the driver to see if he was okay. The witness said the driver of the Marquis still had the vehicle in drive with his foot on the accelerator. The witness managed to stop the elderly man from accelerating and put the vehicle in park.

Cuero’s Emergency Medical Service and the Cuero Fire Department responded to the scene. EMS took vitals to ensure the couple was stable. No one was injured.

Fightin’ Gobblers

William Hogan, a senior at Cuero High School, attended the Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Washington, D.C. on Feb. 14-16.

Highlights of the Congress can be seen at www.FutureDocs.com.

The Congress is an honors-only program for high school students who want to become physicians or go into medical research fields. The purpose of this event is to honor, inspire, motivate and direct the top students in the country who aspire to be physicians or medical scientists, to stay true to their dream and, after the event, to provide a path, plan and resources to help them reach their goal.

William Hogan was nominated by Dr. Connie Mariano, the Medical Director of the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists to represent Cuero High School based on his academic achievement, leadership potential and determination to serve humanity in the field of medicine.

During the three-day Congress, William Hogan joined students from across the country and hear Nobel Laureates and National Medal of Science Winners talk about leading medical research; be given advice from Ivy League and top medical school deans on what is to expect in medical school; witness stories told by patients who are living medical miracles; be inspired by fellow teen medical science prodigies; and learn about cutting-edge advances and the future in medicine and medical technology.

“This is a crucial time in America when we need more doctors and medical scientists who

are even better prepared for a future that is changing exponentially,” said Richard Rossi, executive director, National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists.

The Academy offers free services and programs to students who want to be physicians or go into medical science.

Some of the services and programs the Academy plans to launch in 2014 and 2015 are online social networks through which future doctors and medical scientists can communicate; opportunities for students to be guided and mentored by physicians and medical students; and communications for parents and students on college acceptance and finances, skills acquisition, internships, career guidance and much more.

The National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists was founded on the belief that we must identify prospective medical talent at the earliest possible age and help these students acquire the necessary experience and skills to take them to the doorstep of this vital career. Based in Washington, D.C., the Academy was chartered as a nonpartisan, taxpaying institution to help address this crisis by working to identify, encourage and mentor students who wish to devote their lives to the service of humanity as physicians, medical scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians.

William is the son of Maria Miller of Cuero and Bill Hogan of Chantilly, Va. He is the grandson of Linda Miller of Cuero, great-grandson of Jeannie Duderstadt of Cuero and the grandson of Margaret Hogan of Whitehall, Pa.

Gobblers tame Panthers Cuero runs past Navarro in 42-20 victory

BY GLENN REA THE CUERO RECORD

Navarro’s Panthers looked poised to take command of Cuero’s Gobblers in the opening stanza of Friday’s area play-off in San Antonio.

A 19-play, 74-yd. drive by the Panthers posted the first points of the game. Just 3-mins. remained in the first quarter when Navarro took a 6-0 lead. The point-after kick hit the goal-post.

But before Gobbler fans could absorb what they had just seen, Navarro’s kick was returned to the Cuero 41

by D’Mond LaFond.

On Cuero’s first play, quarterback Jared Vernor calmly turned and handed the ball to running-back D’Anthony Hopkins and it was lights out. Hopkins made little work out of the 59-yards ahead and scored the Gobbler first TD. Ce’sar Montejano booted his first of five point-after kicks. Cuero took the lead 7-6 just 19-seconds after the Panther TD. Gobbler head coach Travis Reeve credited that play as the game changer. “That got us some momentum,” he said. “Our kids kind of ran it from there.”

To Cuero’s credit, the Gobbler defensive coach Zach Linscomb had already relayed to his team how to stop the Panther sweep. The Gobblers adjusted well.

Navarro did not reach Cuero’s goal again until late in the third quarter.

The Gobblers were on the move as the 2nd quarter started. The combination of Vernor and Hopkins had taken Cuero to the Panther 24.

A quick pass to Jareed Edwards edged the Gobblers to the 18. Hopkins scored easily from there giving Cuero a 14-6 lead with 9 mins. left in the

Triston Barefield accepted the Panther kick to start the second half giving Cuero a fresh start at their own 25. D’Anthony and Zech Hopkins wasted little time taking control of the field. A 7yd. pass to Martinez was sandwiched between three runs that put Cuero at mid-field.

D’Anthony picked a weakness in the Panther defense blasted through for 47-yds and a Gobbler TD just 3-mins. into the 3rd period. Cuero now had a commanding 28-6 lead.

Zech Hopkins took a pass to the Navarro 23 but it was an acrobatic catch by LaFond in the end-zone that gave Cuero its third TD. That 16-

His brother D’Anthony took it to the house on the first play covering 53yds. Just 8-seconds had passed since Navarro’s TD. Cuero maintained its lead 35-12.

The Cuero Record Devotional Page Neither money nor pride makes you rich

By GARY ANDREWS gary@gadevotionals.com

Over my many years of life I have seen many, many people who have accomplished many good things and gathered in the rewards that come with victory. Many have accepted these victories with humility and have given the opposition credit for trying and doing their best.

However, on a lot of occasions many of these victors have become prideful and boisterous on their claim to fame. They have put their comfort in front of their character, their popularity ahead of their principle, and become self-indulgent while losing their self-control. All of us can attest to the fact that we know many people that are of this nature and have also put their money and fame before and above God.

Jesus warns of this kind of person in Mark 8:36 when He says, “What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?”

Pride will do this to a person. Webster’s New World College Dictionary defines pride as: an unduly high opinion of oneself; exaggerated self-esteem; conceit; haughty behavior resulting from this; arrogance; sense of one’s own dignity or worth.

All of us have a sense of pride and the world is continually telling us it is okay to be this way. What the world doesn’t know is Jesus and His teachings.

Jesus tells us again in the gospel of Mark 9:35, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.”

So many of us get wrapped up in what we want or want to accomplish that we allow ourselves to be controlled by worldly desires and influences.

Charles B. Rouss once said, “Not in time, place, or circumstances, but in the person lies success.”

We can all be successful and continue to have a humble attitude. All of us should be prideful in what we do, not for our glory but to the glory of our Lord and

Savior Jesus Christ. It is okay to do a job and have expectations of seeing that the job is done correctly and to the best of your ability. The problem with doing the job right is that many of us want to say, “Look what I did!” Pride will destroy us if we let it. Humility will gain us trust and good will from all who see what kind of work we do!

Prayer: Thank you Lord for the opportunity of working with others. Let me do what I can to the best of my ability and that you get the credit, not me. Thank you for the many talents you have given me and the opportunity to use these talents as you see fit. Amen.

RecordSchools CUERO ISD 2 items on Cuero ISD special election ballot

BY GLENN REA THE CUERO RECORD Cuero School District residents will go to the polls Tuesday, Dec. 16 for a special election.

There will be two items on the ballot for voters to decide.

Both deal with Texas Education Code Chapter 41 better known as the ‘Robin Hood’ plan.

Some years ago the Cuero school district was considered a low wealth district. As a result, this district received considerable state revenue to help educate the students.

With the discovery of Eagle Ford Shale oil play in the last four years, now the district is considered ‘property wealthy’ and no longer needs state revenue assistance.

In fact, because of the Chapter 41 ‘Robin Hood’ plan, the district will now need to send part of its tax money to the state to help ‘low wealth districts.’

How CISD shares its wealth with those poor districts will be the issues on the December ballot.

Texas Education Code

offers ‘property wealthy’ districts choices on how it to help ‘property poor’ districts.

Cuero School District trustees have selected two of those options for this ballot. Voters will be asked to vote ‘for’ or ‘against’ both propositions.

The first proposition will be: “Authorize the board of trustees of Cuero School District to purchase attendance credits from the state with local tax revenues.”

The second proposition will be: “Authorize the board of trustees of Cuero School District to educate students of other school districts with local tax credits.

James Coburn, CISD administrative assistant, said this special election will be held at DeWitt County Election Office in Cuero. Early voting will be from Dec. 1-12. The election office is open Monday through Friday from 8 to 5.

The election office is located in the county annex building at 115 N. Gonzales.

Keep Texas Beautiful, Don’t mess with Texas scholarship awards increase AUSTIN — Keep Texas Beautiful and the Texas Department of Transportation’s Don’t mess with Texas program invite high school students statewide to share their achievements as leaders in litter prevention and environmental responsibility. To inspire more awareness among young Texans and recognize those already leading the effort toward positive litter habits, the organizations have partnered to announce the 12th annual Don’t mess with Texas Scholarship contest.

With hundreds of applicants last year, the Don’t mess with Texas Scholarship contest has doubled the amount of funds that will be awarded to $10,000 in total scholarships for 2015.

One $6,000 grand prize scholarship and two $2,000 scholarships will be awarded this spring to students planning to pursue a two- or four-year degree at an accredited university or college in Texas.

The Don’t mess with Texas

Scholarship contest recognizes the accomplishments of high school seniors who have taken leadership roles to prevent litter in their schools and/or communities. The contest, sponsored by real estate and oil and gas company Forestar, is open to high school seniors currently attending public, private or home school in Texas and planning to attend an accredited Texas university or college next year.

“We’re proud to support the efforts of Texas high school seniors who have made a difference in their communities to prevent litter,” said Bruce Dickson, Forestar’s Chief Real Estate Officer. “Giving back through the Don’t mess with Texas Scholarship program helps make the higher education dreams of our state’s most creative and dedicated young people a reality.”

Applications are now being accepted for the scholarship. Applications must be received by online submission or postmarked by April 4, 2015, midnight (CST).

MEYERSVILLE ISD 3 trustees sworn in at Nov. 11 regular meeting Three at-large positions were open for the Meyersville ISD Board of Trustees. Only three applications were submitted, so no election was held.

Rhonda Goebel, president, and Robert Moore will continue to serve on

the Meyersville ISD Board of Trustees. Glynn Schultz, new member, replaces Tammy Bitterly on the board. Bitterly served on the board for four years.

Board members were sworn in at the regular meeting, held Nov. 11.

Both digital and mailed applications will be accepted.

“Because Texans 16 to 34 are the most likely to litter, we want to celebrate those young Texans who are taking the lead to keep our state litter-free and beautiful,” said Cathie Gail, executive director, Keep Texas Beautiful. “It’s exciting to see these talented young people harnessing their creativity, dedication and technological savvy to engage their communities in such a positive way.”

Last year’s winning entries included litter prevention and environmental awareness projects that built interactive public signage in conjunction with educational websites, produced multimedia public service announcements, organized public trash collections, and hosted a Recycling Fashion Show.

Applications and more information on last year’s winners can be found at www.dontmesswithtexas.org.

Westhoff ISD students welcome vets to lunch The 2014 Veterans Day program and lunch at Westhoff ISD was a huge success. The flag ceremony marked the beginning of the program.

All eyes were on the flags as Darrin Gonzales and Denys Meza-Mejia carried the flags slowly through the crowd as Rosalinda Mata and Tanner Schlichting told of its proud and honorable history. Dylan Yeoman directed the attention of the audience to each flag with a spotlight. Alex Garcia led everyone in the Pledge of Allegiance. The students then led “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Superintendent David Kennedy gave a warm welcome to the veterans, guests, students and staff.

The Veterans Day essay winners then read to the audience. Essay

winners were Rosalinda Mata, 1st place;Karissa Gonzales, 2nd place; and Brendan Zorn, 3rd place.

The students sang “Patriotic Melody” and “Armed Forces Melody.”

Sephra Barron gave the blessing for the meal. All veterans and their families were served at their seats by the 5th thru 8th grade students and the staff. The meal was prepared by Crystal Alvarez and Victoria Licon. A slide show bearing pictures of local veterans was prepared and shared

by Lesli Sturm. Alexis Alvarez gave the closing remarks, thanking all the veterans for attending the celebration. The program ended with the Westhoff student body singing Taps. Guests lingered to visit and view the Memorial Wall and Hall of Honor.

Veterans Day at Cuero High School Area veterans and Cuero ISD students were invited to a Veterans Day service, hosted by Cuero High School, at Gobbler Stadium on Nov. 11. The high school band and choir performed. THE CUERO RECORD

Warren is recipient of Regency PostAcute Healthcare System scholarship PRESS RELEASE Each year Regency Post-Acute Healthcare System awards scholarships to deserving students pursuing a future career in healthcare.

These $2,000 scholarships are allocated to help pay for their college expenses. The 2014 recipients are Karina Ramirez, Georgina Sakyi, Emilia Ureste, and local winner Monica Warren of Cuero.

Over the years, 20 scholarships have been given to promising students across Texas.

Monica Warren has been employed at Cuero Nursing and Rehabilitation Center as a Certified Med Aide since January 2013. She started working as a CNA in a nursing facility at the age of 17; from that point on she knew she wanted to be a nurse. Warren credits her mother as the driving force in her life.

When she was 7 her father died in a car accident, leaving her mother to raise three children alone. Warren

witnessed firsthand her mother’s struggles to make ends meet, but taught her children to be independent and hard working. Warren’s goal is to obtain her BSN degree and she is currently enrolled in the nursing program at Victoria College.

“Our annual giving of scholarships ties directly into our mission of enriching the lives of our residents and employees. We want this gift to enrich these young ladies’ lives and allow them to be successful. Our hope is one day they will enter the healthcare field and touch people’s lives on their own,” said CEO Heber Lacerda.

Regency Post-Acute Healthcare System is a management company overseeing operations at thirty skilled nursing centers across Texas.

One of those facilities is Cuero Nursing and Rehabilitation Center which offers skilled nursing and rehabilitation care focused on maintaining each resident’s quality of life.
