Medina Electric Cooperative and CoBank Partner for $30,000 in Donations

The $10,000 donation from Medina Electric Cooperative and CoBank was presented to Southwest Family Life Centers by Medina EC’s board of directors and CEO Trey Grebe.

(Hondo, Texas) – 10/24/2025 – Medina Electric Cooperative, in partnership with CoBank’s Sharing Success charitable contribution program, presented $30,000 in donations to three nonprofit organizations. 
Southwest Family Life Centers, Starr of Hope and NRECA International each received a $10,000 donation.
These donations were made possible through Medina EC’s members and CoBank, a national cooperative bank and one of Medina EC’s financial partners. Through the Sharing Success program, CoBank matched up to $15,000 that Medina EC donated between each nonprofit.
Southwest Family Life Centers in Hondo and Starr of Hope in Rio Grande City both provide services to victims and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in six of Medina EC’s 17 counties, including Frio, Kinney, Medina, Real, Starr and Uvalde.
This is the second time that Medina EC donated to NRECA International, a program that sends cooperative journeymen from around Texas and the US to help establish safe, reliable and affordable electricity in developing countries. In 2023, two Medina EC journeymen helped build power lines in Matasano, Zacapa, in the Republic of Guatemala, and Medina EC will participate in another trip this year.
Concern for Community and Cooperation Among Cooperatives are key principles of electric cooperatives. This partnership is an example of how cooperatives like Medina EC work to improve the quality of life in the communities they serve.

Contract officially terminated with Devine VFD

By Anton Riecher
The contract between the city of Devine and the Devine Volunteer Fire and Rescue has officially been terminated, City Administrator David Jordan announced at the Oct. 21 Devine City Council regular meeting.
“The fire department is transitioning to new leadership,” Jordan said. “The city contract with the fire department has been terminated.”
Castroville-based Medina County Emergency Services District No. 1, already responsible for management of fire protection for a wide region of the county, took charge of the local fire protection operations this month. ESD1 also took charge of ambulance service in Devine and Natalia this month.

Lytle council approves evaluation of site for fifth water well

By Anton Riecher
In a unanimous vote, the Lytle City Council moved Monday to retain an Austin-based hydrogeology firm to evaluate plans to drill a fifth city water well at the site currently occupied by city well number four.
City Administrator Zachary Meadows said that enough land was purchased for an additional well when well number four was drilled at the site. Urged by city engineers Cobb Fendley, the evaluation by Wet Rock Groundwater Services would hopefully confirm the wisdom of that initial decision.
“With our growth and wanting to make sure that makes the most sense as a part of the process of the design, Cobb Fendley is suggesting we engage with Wet Rock to make sure that does truly still make sense,” Meadows said.
Funds to cover the cost of the evaluation is being taken from existing impact fees for the project, he said.

Apparatus issues occupy ESD2 after fire department management revamp

By Anton Riecher
Tough decisions about the repair or replacement of fire apparatus lay ahead for the Medina County Emergency Services District No. 2 board of commissioners based on an early assessment made by the new management for local fire protection during the Oct 21 board meeting.
Battalion Chief David Powers, liaison between the board and Castroville-based ESD1, rejected the idea that firefighters always want the newest for their departments.
“I want something that will get to that fire with a pump, a hose and someone to operate it,” Powers said. “That’s all I care about.”
He questioned whether some of the current fleet of fire apparatus offers that dependability.
“The problem is, are we at that point with some of this apparatus that we can trust?” Powers said.
However, ESD1 Chief Clint Cooke asked for more time to prepare an in depth assessment on whether the current fleet can still be brought up to speed.
“Truthfully, we don’t know that yet,” Cooke said. “We’ve been here two and a half weeks.”
At the direction…LOGIN TO CONTINUE READING at www.devinenewsmembers.com. You will get instant access to our full E-edition, and begin getting the newspaper delivered to your home next week for $36 a year in Medina County. Support important local city, county, and school news like this!

The Healing Power of Pets

“A dog is the only thing on Earth that loves you more than you love yourself.”
-Josh Billings

We all have our preferences when it comes to pets. I prefer dogs. Maybe you are a cat, fish, or reptile person. Whatever the case, recent research has proven what we already know – pets are good for you.
Half of the households in the U.S. have a pet of some kind. Whether you have an affectionate dog, a purring cat, or a fish watching you from his watery home every morning as you stumble out of bed to make coffee, the company of a pet is comforting. Pets support our well-being. For many they offer a vital mental and physical coping mechanism.
Pets can provide us with distinct physical benefits. Dogs especially make great exercise companions (this is less of an option with cats and fish). A dog will give you a reason to exercise. For dog owners, walking becomes pretty much mandatory. An interesting systematic review of research was published recently in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes (this is a journal put out by the American Heart Association). It highlighted the fact that dog ownership is associated with better cardiovascular health. The review examined a truckload of studies published between 1950-2019 examining data from approximately four million humans. Many of these studies revealed that dog ownership was linked to improved cholesterol levels, decreased blood pressure, and lower stress response in the sympathetic nervous system. A summary of all the data showed that dog ownership was associated with a 31 percent reduced risk of cardiovascular death. It is believed that the primary reason for this increased longevity stems from the necessary exercise required of dog owners. A squirmy little dog at your feet, ready to go outside and walk your shoes off, will help you live longer.
On a personal note, Mac, our lively little Jack Russell Terrier has prompted me to walk him twice a day. Some days now we hit four miles. I feel better for it and know that walking is good for both of us.
Besides promoting physical well-being, pets can provide a plethora of mental and psychological benefits. These include reduced stress and enhanced mood. Pet ownership stimulates the reduction of cortisol, the primary stress hormone. Animals seriously have the capacity to enhance our mood and mental well-being. And this is good news also for the fish and cat people. I am not much of a cat person, but I will acknowledge that cats make pretty good pets. Their sanctimonious and independent nature make them require less maintenance. They tolerate your absence well but will hang around and offer some degree of comfort when you are home. Fish I think are indifferent, but they are fun to look at, so that’s good for something. Lizards and small rodents might fall into this category as well.
But when it comes to mental health, dogs particularly provide the pure connection and affection which promotes the release of dopamine and serotonin, the neurotransmitters synonymous with relaxation. I always feel more relaxed with little Mac curled up at my feet, or asleep on my desk as I write.
I recently had reason to stop by the designated veterans’ apartments here in town. While there I met an elderly gentleman who was a former Navy SEAL. He glided into the room in his electric wheelchair with his dog Frieda by his side. Frieda’s attention and affection for her person was obvious. This grizzled veteran told me that his beloved dog had literally saved his life. She gave him a reason to live. The bond between the two was evident beyond words.
Pets, and I would again say dogs in particular, can encourage positive social interactions as well. Dogs naturally create opportunities for social connections. Walking your dog can lead to casual conversations with neighbors and other dog owners. Many folks take their charges to the local dog park. It’s easy to meet people this way. Dogs provide a social lubricant. You are more approachable with a dog. Dogs also can help foster emotional security, encouraging people to interact in informal settings.
All pets are good for us in every way. They make our lives better by loving us, overlooking our faults, and wanting nothing more than food, water, and our attention. They are blessings beyond words. Love your pet today…
