- Keeping Jobs in Venice
- To All,
- We are writing about Vinyl Tech because Vinyl Tech was leaving Venice, Fl. to
- move to North Carolina but, now we are having an annexation to build a new
- development called Waterford North. They want to build a 250,000 sq foot
- facility in Waterford North. If the annexation goes through the people in
- Venice will not lose their jobs.
- This is important to us so people in Venice do not lose their
- jobs. Vinyl Tech wanted to move to North Carolina because they could not
- afford the fees, but people in Venice will determine if Vinyl Tech will stay
- in Venice or if they leave Venice.

- The authors of this article are Chris Weider, Bill Hanon, and Stacey
- Jansen of Venice Area Middle School, Venice Florida.

- A Hanging
- 12/18/92
- In Walla Walla, WA.., Westley Allen Dodd chose to be hung for killing
- three boys. This is the first execution in Washington in thirty years.
- Relatives of the victims were never asked if they wanted to see it and they
- wanted to, so the state saved fourteen seats for witnesses. The hanging is
- scheduled for January fifth at 12.01 am.
