To the Editor:

As an Island historian I would like to comment on Skip Perry's editorial in last week’s Beacon. In spite of what some might call Skip’s “aggressive style,” I thought that, on the whole, it was “spot on.”  Boca Grande has historically been a multi-dimensional town. I want go into all of the reasons that it was that way.

To the Editor:

This message is to “Professional” Tarpon Tournament Series, Ms. Sheli Sanders, Mr. Joe Mercurio, PTTS Sponsors and participating anglers

Sirs:

This is to inform you that neither I nor the Doc Ford Restaurants will participate as sponsors in any fishing tournament that allows snag-fishing (‘jig fishing’ is the common euphemism) for tarpon or other game fish. Snag-fishing has, justifiably, been banned to protect numerous game fish world wide, and I am, frankly, mystified why the tarpon (among Florida’s most valuable natural resources) has not been granted the same protection by governing state bodies.

To the Editor,

I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the Boca Grande Woman’s Club for the generous scholarship which they awarded to me. I cannot begin to explain how grateful my family and I are for your help and consideration.  

This scholarship helps to make it possible for me to attend Florida Gulf Coast University as a full time student this fall. I can never thank you enough for helping me to realize my educational goals.

Yours truly,
Kylei Linde Evans
