LATINO BIGFOOT
For a few years I’ve heard
of the chupacabra so I thought
I’d do a little checking. The
best way to sum it up seems
to be “The Latino Bigfoot.”
Just like Bigfoot, the chupa-
cabra seems to have many
descriptions. Originally all
the chupacabra reports came
from Central and South
American. Chupar means
“to suck” and cabra means
“goat.” The goatsucker part
comes from its habit of sup-
posedly attacking and suck-
ing the blood from goats and
other small animals. In 1995
there was a reported sighting
of this vampire type animal
and the stories quickly mush-
roomed. One hundred fifty
small farm animals in a small
Puerto Rican town were found
killed and their blood drained.
Many blamed a satanic cult.
Since then there have been
many sightings from Maine
to Chile. Descriptions vary as
to size and appearance. Some
say it resembles a small bear
with reptile like scales.
The fire was fanned again
in 2004 when a rancher near
San Antonio, Texas killed a
hairless, dog-like animal that
was attacking his livestock.
DNA tests confirmed it was a
mangy coyote. Later, in Cole-
man, Texas, a rancher trapped
a creature that had been kill-
ing his chickens. It reported
looked like a mixture of hair-
less dog, rat, and kangaroo.
Many other “chupacabras”
According to the Thursday,
March 19,1954 issue of the
Cooper Review:
Word has been received
by Coach Weldon Hume
of East Delta School that
Pat Patterson, member of
the East Delta Champs this
year, has been named to all-
regional team by virtue of
her play in recent regional
meet at Kilgore. She is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Welsey Patterson.
Work is progressing at a
rapid pace at the Janes Clinic
and Hospital in Cooper where
last a new electronically
operated elevator was
installed and is now in use.
With overall plans calling for
the complete remodeling and
redecorating of the building
on E. Dallas Ave., the
upstairs, or second floor is
have turned out to be mangy
dog-coyote crosses. As long
as the Moon glows and the
Sun shines there will prob-
ably be reports of Big Foot
and chupacabras. Watch for
them in your neighborhood
(along with gorillas, giraffes,
panthers, and UFO’s.)
Sunday, Zack, Pearl, T.
Garth and I were just about
tuckered out after hunting
hogs six out of the last eight
days and getting hogs each
day. Spring is underway as
we saw several snakes, corn
being planted, May apples
growing, red bud and wild
plum trees blooming, tent
caterpillars crawling, and the
temperature near eighty. A
while back we were talking
about signs of spring. Son in
law, Jason, said when dog-
woods are blooming the crap-
pie are biting. My mother in
law used to say winter wasn’t
over until bois d’ arc leaves
were as big as a squirrel’s ear.
One guy said farmers would
drive around to bridges where
people were fishing and when
those big women got off those
five gallon buckets and sat
flat down on the ground it was
warm enough to plant cotton.
Another sign of spring is
when festivals start popping
up. The Ninth Annual Mud
National will be March 23-
27. If you like four wheelers,
racing, food, mud, and music
you may want to travel to Mud
Creek Off Road Park in Jack-
sonville, Texas. An estimated
18,000 people will roam over
near completion at present.
The Cooper School Board
met Tuesday night and
accepted the resignation,
“with regret” of Mrs. Kermit
Carrington, music teacher
in the Cooper schools for
the past three years. Mrs.
Carrington, who is confined
in a Dallas hospital, offered
her resignation to the board
as a result of recent medical
advice.
Members and guests of
Cooper Lions Club met last
Friday at the Hotel Cooper
for a regular meeting and
heard facts concerning
the Housing Authority in
Cooper. A report to the club
was made by Manton Miller,
chairman of a committee to
stage a local talent program
for the Lions Club.
CooperHighSchoolathletic
department is sponsoring a
5000 acres of woods, pas-
tures, and creeks. Fifty dol-
lars allows you to camp all
five days, see the races, and
attend concerts by Brantley
Gilbert and Brandon Ryder,
Texas country style singers.
All kinds of mud races where
some of the four wheelers
cost as much as $30,000 and
sport thirty two inch tires.
People attend from all over
the world.
If you like dogs and hogs
more than four wheelers and
mud remember Uncle Earl’s
Hog Dog Trials in Winnfield,
Louisiana during the same
dates, March 23-27.
This joke has been around
since Abraham Lincoln was
president. Every president
has had his critics that make
and tell jokes about him so
put your favorite president in
the blank. President _
had a dream and saw George
Washington standing by his
bed. _ asked, “George,
how can I help our country?”
George replied, “Always tell
the truth like I did.” Next
night_had a dream and
saw Thomas Jefferson stand-
ing by the bed. “Thomas, how
can I help our country?” Jef-
ferson answered, “Always
protect the constitution like
I did.” The next night Abra-
ham Lincoln appeared in the
dream and again the question,
“How can I help our coun-
try?” Abe’s answer, “Attend a
play like I did.” Hey, it was
just a joke.

he has been for the past year
