Medina County Tax Assessor
Collector Loraine Neuman is to
be commended on her decision to
open the tax office during the noon
to 1p.m. lunch hour.
For many years this newspaper
and many citizens have suggested
that county offices should be open
during the lunch hour since that is
the only time some people have
available to conduct personal
business without having to take off
from their jobs._
Staggered lunch hours, such as
Loraine has suggested, generally
cause no serious inconvenience to
workers and are a definite con-
venience for those who must do
business during a time determined
by their employer or other restric-
tions. I can say this with convic-
tion since we in the newspaper
business frequently re-arrange our
schedules to accommodate the needs
of others.
A tip of the hat and this week's
'gold star' goes to Loraine and her
tax office staff.

With this past weekend's tragic
events involving teenagers and
drinking, I would like to print this
message to youngsters:
If you’ve ever found it hard to
say no to friends and classmates
who want you to try alcohol or
other drugs, consider a few facts:
There are more reasons not to
drink than just that at your age it's
illegal. Drinking can make you
clumsy, talk funny and have a hard
time seeing. It gives you bad
breath, can make you fat and makes
you sick. What’s more, it's
expensive. Is that how you want to
waste your allowance or odd-job
money?
And, as we saw this weekend,
drinking can make you take the life
of your friend.
You don’t need to be "high" to
have a good time.
Telling your parents, a teacher
you trust, or an older brother or
sister about your trouble can help
you learn to say no. If you're over
eight, you're old enough to know
in your own mind what's right and
wrong for you.
Marvin C. Bendele to run for Commissioner
Marvin C. Bendele has authorized
the Anvil Herald to publish the
following announcement:
"I, Marvin C. Bendele, wish to
announce my intention to run for
the office of Medina County Com-
missioner, Precinct No. 1.
"I am a life time resident of Me-
dina County. I was bom in Castro-
ville and raised four miles northeast
of Biry. I currently reside in the
Biry area with my wife of 17 years,
Susan Calame, and our three child-
ren, Marvin, Jr., Brian and Erin.
My family and I are members of St.
Joseph's Catholic Church and my
children attend the Devine schools.
"I graduated from Medina Valley
High School in 1968. I joined the
Texas Air National Guard in
January of 1969 and have served
with the 149th Resources Manage-
ment Squadron for almost 19 years.
I have completed several courses in
management, leadership, and super-
vision and have been in a position
of responsibility as a section super-
visor and shift leader during my
years with the Guard. In 1984, I
was honored to receive the Adjutant
General's Individual Award for
Marvin C. Bendele
outstanding service and in Sept,
1986 I was voted the Non Com-
missioned Officer of the quarter. I
have been employed with Lone Star
Beer Distributing, Castroville. as a
Route Salesman for the past 14
years.
"In the past I was active in the
Devine Volunteer Fire Department.
I have been active in the Devine
Little League, the St. Joseph's
Church picnic, and as a project
leader in the Devine 4-H. I am cur-
rently president of the Catholic Life
Insurance Branch No. 99 in the De-
vine area. I am a member of the
Quihi Gun Club.
"I would appreciate the oppor-
tunity to serve as your repre-
sentative to the Medina County
Commissioners Court and as your
County Road Commissioner. I
respectfully request your support
and your vote in the upcoming
election on Tuesday, March 8,
1988."
Q. L. Bendele announces candidacy
Quintin L. Bendele has announ-
ced his candidacy for Commis-
sioner, Pet. 1 with the following
letter:
"Greetings: To The Citizens of
County Commissioner Precinct
number one, Medina County,
Texas:
"I want to let you know that I
intend to be a candidate for the po-
sition of County Commissioner,
Precinct No. 1 in the upcoming
Democratic Primary Election March
8, 1988.
"My name is Quintin L. Bendele
and 1 live on Farm Road 1343
about a quarter of a mile south of
the Southern Pacific Railroad
tracks. My legal voting address is
Devine, Texas.
"For those of you who may not
personally know me I will give you
a brief personal history.
"I was bom and raised in the com-
munity of Rio Medina, Texas. My
parents were the late Bert and Julia
Bendele of Rio Medina. They were
engaged in the ranching business
for over 65 years in Medina, Frio
and La Salle Counties.
"I attended the rural country
school at Rio Medina. At times I
went to St. Louis School in Castro-
ville and graduated from high
school there in 1939.
"After working a couple of years
in San Antonio, I enlisted in the
Armed forces and did a tour of duty
that lasted almost four years. Two
of those years were spent aboard the
U.S.S. Menkor-AK-123 in the
South Pacific.
"When the war was over I went
to work in San Antonio as an Ap-
prentice Pipefitter. After serving
my apprenticeship and receiving my
Journeyman’s ticket I worked for
Plumbing and Heating Contractors
in the San Antonio area. Later I
worked for Piping Contractors all
over Texas and in the states of Cali-
fornia and Nevada. All in all I spent
40 years in Piping Construction.
"Along the way I attended many
schools, primarly trade schools but
also leadership and communication
courses.
"At the present time I’ve retired
from the Piping trade but keep busy
operating a Stockfarm just south of
the Southern Pacific railroad tracks
on Farm Road 1343 and a small
ranch in the DHanis-Yancey area.
"In 1966 I became a land owner
in Medina County. Since 1967 I
have owned and operated ranches in
the county and intend to continue
for many years to come.
"A lot of people seem to think
that a County Commissioners job
is to keep the County roads in good
condition in their respective pre-
cincts. This of course is their most
visible function. However, it is
only one of their jobs. Sitting on
the Commissioners court is undoub-
tedly their biggest job. It is up to
them to see that monies allocated to
the County are spent wisely and pru-
dently. Every week at Commis-
sioners Court, decisions are made,
disputes settled, and monies allo-
cated for various purposes. Some
decisions affect every citizen of
Medina County.
"If you will elect me to the post
of Commissioner, Precinct No. 1 I
assure you that I will do my utmost
to uphold the office with honesty
and dignity.
"In all decisions that affect
Precinct No. 1 and Commissioners
Court I will weigh all matters care-
fully: sound judgement and good
old common sense will prevail.
"I expect and want input from the
citizens of Precinct No. 1. I wel-
come constructive criticism but on
all issues I will stand on my own
two feet and will not be swayed in
my decisions by any pressure
group.
"I am a very civic minded indi-
vidual and will be glad to work
with any worthy organization of
Precinct No. 1 and Medina County.
"For the record I am a member of
the following organizations - St.
Louis Catholic Church, Plumbers
and Pipefitters United Association,
American. Legion Post 461, Texas
Auctioneers Association, Medina
Valley Moose lodge 2196, Medina
C. Senior Citizens Assn., Inc., Me-
dina County Fair Association and
Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No.
3966.
"Thank you for reading this
letter.
"Your vote and support will be
greatly appreciated."
