A Nokomis resident criticizes the paper for printing a March 16 feature about a local girl’s abduction and rape. He urges an apology to the victim and her family, arguing coverage prioritized sales impact over sensitivity toward juveniles.
In a reply to Sun Coast Gondolier criticisms, Venice Area Art League member George Rakovan argues the league follows standard prize procedures, supports frequent exhibitions, and offers community programs. He notes open membership, local artist participation, past and ongoing shows in Venice and Sarasota venues, and new after school classes and youth activities.
Lorna Sheets recalls a personal Easter when she hid an egg in her uncle's beach house two years ago and he did not find it for two months explaining the lasting playful connection.
A reader from South Venice asks why the tracks on the 41 Bypass remain uneven. He suggests Seaboard Coast Line Railroad was to be paid for the leveling work and notes holes forming at the rails, asking for a fix similar to tracks near Bird Bay.
In the absence of our secretary Mrs Kitchens, the Venice Nokomis Woman's Club extends thanks for public interest and cooperation this past year.
