AUSTIN (AP) — A conservation e brgani/aiion recommended Tues- ffllthat dumping trash in the Gulf ip Mexico be banned by interna- flOytional agreement. he Washington-based Center lt; for Environmental Education said Ider the Texas land office should pre- ^(jeif pare a proposal for designating the npilf,: Gulf as a special area. f This would make it exempt from dumping as are other enclosed bod- n ' ies of water, such as the Mediterra- i l3 ' near Sea and Persian Gulf. ie ii^lfThis past September the center sponsored a Texas beach cleanup described as the biggest in the na tion. flaJjon In that project, 2,772 volunteers |ff dj(! cleaned 124 tons of trash from 120 ® miles of Texas coastline in three hours. “CEE’s report of its September cleanup is 124 tons of proof why we’ve got to stop messing with Texas beaches,” State Land Commissioner Garry Mauro said. “The report shows more than ever that Texas doesn’t have a litter problem, we’ve got a garbage problem on our beaches.” CEE marine biologist Kathy O’Hara, principal author of the re port, said, “There is no reason why it can’t be classified as a special area. It has currents that direct all trash right onto the shoreline. It also has such heavy traffic of maritime ves sels.” O’Hara said the Coast Guard could take the proposal to the Inter national Convention for the Preven tion of Pollution From Ships, MAR- POL, short for marine pollution. “Then all the other countries would have to decide if they were going to abide by this,” O’Hara said. The CEE report recommended that the Legislature revive the Texas Coastal and Marine Council or des ignate an existing agency to take the lead on the coastal debris problem. Among the report’s state recom mendations were proposals to con duct a feasibility study of providing disposal facilities at Texas ports and expanding a program to remove 30- and 55-gallon drums of hazardous materials from the coastline. The report also said the Legis lature should consider a bill regulat ing the disposal of beverage con tainers. Tom Henderson, a spokesman for Mauro’s office, said bills also have been introduced to ban glass containers and to increase the penal ties for littering. Suspect still sought in slaying EDINBURG (AP) — A second suspect was being sought in connec tion with the slaying of a govern ment drug informant, investigators said Tuesday. “We still have a suspect at large,” said Rene Torres, a spokesman for the Hidalgo County Sheriffs De partment. “The investigation is in full swing.” Authorities arrested a Mexican national at his South Texas resi dence last week and said he was sus pected of being the gunman in the Feb. 8 death of Antonio Espinosa, 39, of Edinburg. Espinosa was hit in the head by a gunshot fired while he was driving down a country road with his wife and infant daughter. Espinosa’s wife, Rosa, and the couple’s 6-month-old daughter were not hurt. Authorities said the fatal shot was fired from the passenger side of a truck that pulled beside Espinosa’s car. Capt. Albert Garcia, a sheriffs in vestigator, said the victim was an in formant for the federal Drug En forcement Administration. The DEA has refused to confirm or deny whether Espinosa worked for the agency. Pedro Luna-Trigo, 26, who was arrested in connection with the case Thursday in San Juan, remained in jail Tuesday in lieu of $100,000 bond on a murder charge. Businessman 'recycling' old buildings SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Some people save aluminum cans. Others save old newspapers. Edgar Dodson salvages buildings. “This is a way to help the econ omy,” Dodson said as cranes lifted the second floor of the old Ameri cana Inn and his crew bulldozed the first floor underneath. “In today’s throwaway society, it’s good to salvage anything you can,” he said. Dodson, third-generation owner of Dodson House Moving in San An tonio, was supervising a project in which he is saving the top floor of a motel. A shopping center and car dealer ship are scheduled to be built in its place, he said. Dodson buys buildings from de molition contractors and resells them. He said it costs buyers half as much to purchase and renovate a used building than it does to con struct a new one. Elis crew was preparing two build ings, both cut in half, for transport to Dodson’s storage yard, which he calls his “used-house lot.” The structures are each 32 feet wide and 66 feet long. The 20-mile trip through the city takes about four hours, he said. “Most people see house movers as a nuisance,” he said. “And we are an inconvenience when we get out there on the roads, but we’re only a short inconvenience that the advan tages far outweigh.” Now Open on Saturday ’til 3 p.m. Williams \Xg^i 10 Minute Drive-Thru Lube, Oil, & Filter Change! $3 00 oft 205 Holteman OIL, LUBE & Filter Change (your choice of oil) 764-7992 Dance Arts Society will host a Modern Dance Workshop with Tana Kent an independent modern choreographer from Austin Saturday, February 21, $7 Sunday, February 22, $6 ($10 for the weekend) Rdom 268 Read (East Kyle) For workshop schedule call: Ginger 260-0510 Kathy 696-6257 New Class Schedule for the Spring Semester: Monday - 7:30 Aerobics, 8:30 Beg.
