Island to host parties
Invasion to hit Padre
Associated Press
SOUTH PADRE ISLAND — In
less than two weeks, this cjuiet 5-intle
stretch of South Texas will be trans
formed into one gigantic party for
college students seeking suds, sun
and surf.
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.

— Capt. Tommy Atkin-

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

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.
