Unfortunately, we have a problem. I’m assuming it is the city’s responsbility to control this area. We visit the pier about once a week in the early evening and it is dangerous and disgusting. Dead and squashed bait is all over the pier; my wife almost slipped on some. There are also dead, dried-out larger fish all over the place. When you get out to the “T,” you definitely hear some words that you don’t want your wife or small children to hear. Most of the offenders are teenagers. Some of them are only 12 to 14. I’ve seen them being dropped off by their parents. Apparently, in some cases the 24-hour pier has become a babysitter or a day-care center for some of these kids. The police do come out and the kids clean up their areas, but as soon as the offi- cers leave, things get ugly again. It would be a shame if the city would have to close the pier from 10 p.m. to day- light. Hundreds of innocent fishermen would be denied.

BY KIM COOL Aft FEATURES EDITOR

Relive the Golden Age of automobiles in downtown Venice. Sunday, Oct. 4, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., those who fancy antique and collec- tor automobiles will gather at Centennial Park for the 22nd annual Venice Region Antique Automobile Club of America Collector Car Show. Advance registration ends Friday. Last-minute registration will be from 8 to 10 a.m. Sunday. “That is for people who want to make sure it is not raining,” club president Gary Felker said. “Everyone who registers gets a T-shirt and dashboard plaque.” Expected back are last year’s Best of Show winner, a restored 1941 Stu- debaker owned by Jeff Horvath, and the winner of the Rod and Custom divi- sion, a 1950 Mercury four-door sedan owned by Ron Long. “The same body was used all three years,” Felker said. “It was just after the war.” The Mercury was dressed up for the Rod and Custom Class with frosted windows, a sunshade above the front windshield, mud covers over the rear tires and much more. The Studebaker was restored to original condition. Felker also is co-chair of the annual show with John Richter.
