Padre officials fret as slick nears
United Press International
CORPUS CHRISTI — Federal
monitors Monday declined to pre
dict whether the giant Mexican oil
slick, now just 107 miles south of
Texas, might foul the state’s sandy
white beaches, but officials at Padre
Island National Seashore said they
fear the worst.
The slick, being fed by a well
blowout in Mexico’s Bay of Cam
peche, is projected to appear
offshore from Brownsville, Texas,
by this weekend.
“We have come to the realization
that things that get into the Gulf, in
time, land on Padre Island, whether
they be bottles or something,” said
Bob Whistler, the chief naturalist at
Padre Island National Seashore.
Padre Island stretches 100 miles
from Corpus Christi to Brownsville
and is home to the federally pro
tected area, as well as several resort
beaches.
Officials said the island’s “Big
Shell” area, 35 miles south of Cor
pus Christi, eventually seems to re
ceive any debris appearing in the
Gulf of Mexico.
“Just the nature of the currents in
the Gulf would make the Big Shell a
likely place to get at least some oil,”
added Max Hancock, chief ranger at
the Seashore. “Conflicting currents
in the area tend to bring in a lot of
floatsam from the Gulf.”

Carl Posey, a spokesman at a fed
eral oilsick monitoring post operat
ing the past three weeks at Coast
Guard headquarters, said Monday
the latest flights by Coast Guard and
National Oceanic and Atmosperic
Administration aircraft pinpointed
the lead edge of the slick 107 miles
south of the mouth of the Rio
Grande at Brownsville.
Posey said the latest NOAA
projection puts the leading edge of
the oil slick, which is moving
northward in several large patches,
about 30-40 miles offshore the
U.S.-Mexico border at Brownsville
by Friday. Posey said the forecast
would be updated later this week.
“It’s a statistical forecast which
doesn’t mean it’s going to happen,”
Posey said.
He said “the currents just aren’t
well enough defined” for NOAA to
make any prediction on whether the
oil might eventualy move toward
Padre Island.
“The only other important de
velopment is that the Coast Guard is
beginning to move equipment in,”
Poseys aid. “They’re not putting
anything in the water. They’ve
moved in some booms and if the oil
seems to threaten, they’ll deploy to
try to keep it (oil) on the seaward
side of the barrier islands.”
The oil slick — now the largest on
record — began forming June 3
when a well being drilled in
Mexico’s Bay of Campeche blew
out, caught fire and began spewing
1.5 million gallons of oil a day. Mex
ican officials have said it may be Oc
tober before the well can be shut off.

United Press International
SAN ANTONIO — While Mattie
chultz rested in a hospital Monday,
lozens of letters containing dona-
ions arrived for the 91-year-old
hildless widow who spent a night in
ail last week for shoplifting food to
eep from starving.
"Some contain $5, $10, $50. One
nan from California offered to send
neat.” said Lorraine Wernert, pres-
dent of the Bexar County Senior
citizens Council which set up a spe-
:ial Mattie Schultz Fund. “I have a
tack in my hand about 6 inches
hick.”
Mrs. Schultz, who spent 24 hours
n jail after being arrested on a mis-
lemeanor charge of attempting to
:ake $15 worth of ham, sausage and
Hitter from a grocery store in her
Hirse, was under observation at a
ocal hospital for exahustion. Her
:ondition was listed as satisfactory
Monday.
Her doctor said the elderly
.woman needed rest from the ex-
itement and hundreds of telephone
alls she received after she was re
leased from jail and the media circu
lated her story nationwide.
Wernert said she was “amazed” to
bear Mrs. Schultz, described as
fiercely independent, resorted to
shoplifting food when so many free
nutrition programs were available.
Mrs. Schultz, who said she had
been suffering heart problems, told
reporters she stole because she was
desperate” and could not pay her
$75 rent, $18 in utilities and doctor
bills each month and have enough
left out of $251 n pensions to eat
properly. She said she had lived
mostly on cereal and milk the last
few months.
Since her arrest, a full-time wel
fare worker has been assigned to her
case and encouraged her to enter
the hospital where she could rest.
