March usually signals the end of winter in South Fexas. It also signals relaxation for the college students on spring break and revenue for the residents, as over 100,000 people are expected to flock to Port Isabel and South Padre Island to enjoy the weather. The big week this year is March 10-17, less than two weeks away. “Spring break is hectic for every body, but it’s good,” said Kathie Hawkinson, executive director of the Port Isabel-South Padre Island Chamber of Commerce. “It’s a busy time, but it’s an economic plus for the community.” Capt. Tommy Atkinson, the act ing South Padre Island police chief, said many use the holiday break to take advantage of what the island has to offer. ‘You’d better believe it. Ids suds, sun and surf . ” — Capt. Tommy Atkin- son, the acting South Padre Island police chief, ‘You’d belter believe it," he said. "It’s suds, sun and surf." T he 5,815 rooms at area condo miniums and hotels, usually less than full during the winter months, are booked solid for March, Hawk inson said. Rates usually go up during March, but fun-seekers still con verge on the area no matter what the price is, she said. Especially merchants, who expect money pumped into the local econ omy to match or exceed last year’s tally of nearly $4 million during March. Students are a blessing this month, Hawkinson said, because "Winter Texans” — northern resi dents who spend their vacationsEl the Rio Grande Valley - usml start heading north at thebeginc:; of March.

Millionaire’s offer to be investigated Associated Press SAN ANTONIO — The Maver ick County district attorney said Wednesday he has launched an in vestigation of South Texas rancher and oilman Clinton Manges follow ing the millionaire’s offer of free land for the county. The investigation, said District At torney Amado Abascal, stems from Manges’ promise last week to give Maverick County 135 acres of land if state District Judge Benjamin Marti nez is not elected to another term. Manges went on local television in Eagle Pass the day after be made the offer and said the county could have the land with no strings attached, his attorney Marynell Maloney said Wednesday in San Antonio. Despite Manges’ retraction, Abas cal said he is going ahead with the in vestigation. Abascal said if charges are filed, he will have to appoint a special prosecutor because he represents an oil company in a civil suit against Manges. Abascal has a private law practice in addition to his duties as district attorney. Maloney said Manges made tl • land offer, because he “wanted ev eryone to be aware that the judge is incompetent and very poiiucaHy mo tivated.” The case was a counterclaim against Manges, who initially filed .suit against attorney Raul Garcia seeking payment on a $50,000 note. Garcia countersued, claiming mental anguish because of Manges’ suit. Martinez ruled against Manges, ordering him to pay $1 million in damages. Airport committee member Hum berto Garza said the county cur rently has no money to buy the land, designated for an airport. But he said the county is pushing Congress to appropriate the funds so Laughlin Air Force Base in nearby Del Rio can buy some Maver ick County land. The land sale would provide the money to pur chase Manges’ property, he said. 11-year-old discovers live bomb Associated Press SAN ANTONIO - An ll- [ year-old boy carried a live bomb If from an abandoned buildingtoa| : store before police were called (o j disarm it, authorities say. | The youngster, Ruben Salazar, says he discovered the bomb) sticking out underneath the wal of an abandoned two-story build! mg.
