BUSY PLAYING BASKETBALL WITH HIS FRIENDS IN PUNTA GORDA JUST ONE DAY AFTER PLAYING HERO.

Billy Ritter/Put out the Fire "he's just like really funny he has plenty of friends, he's out going he's just an amazing friend."

BILLY WAS HANGING OUT WITH CHRIS DEROUIN -

Billy "we did play a little basketball"

-- WHEN HE SAYS, THINGS GOT OUT OF HAND.

Billy "He decided to play with gas and fire"

A TERRIFYING SCENE - BILLY SAYS CHRIS POURED GASOLINE ON A SMALL TABLE IN THE GARAGE, THEN LIT IT ON FIRE.

THEN, HE SAYS, CHRIS POURED MORE GAS ON THE FLAME AND THE FIRE JUMPED TO HIS SHIRT.

Billy "he was running around screaming like I'm on fire. I told him to go get wet and I got a couple of buckets of water."

BILLY SAYS HE HELPED CHRIS GET HIS SHIRT OFF AND STARTED DUMPING WATER ON THE FIRE.

Billy "it just happened so fast It just lit up and I couldn't think of what to do so I just did it"

AS BILLY PLAYS WITH HIS FRIENDS TODAY SHOWING OFF A SMALL BURN ON HIS EAR - HE'S THINKING ABOUT CHRIS WHO IS RECOVERING AT TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL.

Billy "it's just overwhelming what happened, it's just so real"

AS CHRIS PREPARES FOR SURGERY THURSDAY BILLY HAS A FEW WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT.

Billy "you're going to be ok. i'm really sorry this happened i feel so bad for you, everyone is praying for you."

ROMNEY COMMENTS-2SHOT

MITT ROMNEY WRAPPED UP HIS CONTROVERSY-FILLED FOREIGN TOUR TODAY--

AND NOT A MOMENT TOO SOON.

FOR THE THIRD DAY IN A ROW--

THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE PUT HIS FOOT IN HIS MOUTH!

BUT PRESIDENT OBAMA ISN'T WITHOUT CONTROVERSY EITHER.

DECISION 2012-CLIP

ROMNEY COMMENTS-PKG

MITT ROMNEY FINISHED HIS FOREIGN TOUR IN WARSAW, WITH A SWIPE AT PRESIDENT OBAMA.

PRAISING POLAND FOR SHARING THE REPUBLICAN'S FAITH IN FREE ENTERPRISE.

Presidential Candidate:12 -:23

"Rather than heeding the false promise of a government-dominated economy, Poland sought to stimulate innovation, attract investment, expand trade, and live within its means."

ROMNEY DID NOT MENTION: POLAND HAS 12.4% UNEMPLOYMENT AND MANDATORY HEALTH INSURANCE, LIKE OBAMA HEALTH CARE.

THAT, BACK ON CAPITOL HILL, TODAY

ROMNEY'S REPUBLICAN SENATE ALLIES TRIED AGAIN TO REPEAL.

ROMNEY'S TRIP WAS ROUGH.

A GAFFE IN LONDON, WHERE HE QUESTIONED HOW WELL BRITAIN WOULD RUN THE OLYMPICS.

IN ISRAEL HE SAID CULTURE PARTLY EXPLAINS THE ECONOMIC GAP BETWEEN ARABS AND JEWS.

REPORTER QUESTIONS CAME AS THE CANDIDATE HEADED HOME.

there's nothing that i could see that was detrimental, at least not to the president. hahaha

BUT ROMNEY'S HARDLINE IN ISRAEL AGAINST IRAN COULD HURT THE PRESIDENT IN NOVEMBER,

PEALING AWAY SOME OF MR. OBAMA'S STRONG SUPPORT AMONG JEWISH AMERICANS VOTERS.

TODAY, THE PRESIDENT EXPANDED U-S SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN:

MAKING IT TOUGHER TO FINANCE THE ILLEGAL PURCHASE OF IRANIAN OIL.

AND PERHAPS TOUGHER FOR MITT ROMNEY TO GET MORE JEWISH VOTES.

WOMENS CARE ACT-VO WIPE

A BIG CHANGE IS COMING TO WOMENS HEALTH CARE.

NEW PROVISIONS GO INTO EFFECT *TONIGHT*--

THAT WILL AFFECT MILLIONS OF WOMEN IN THE U.S.

THE NEW PROVISIONS ARE LARGELY FOR PREVENTATIVE CARE SERVICES--

THINGS LIKE ANNUAL BREAST EXAMS, AND PRENATAL CARE.

THE PROVISION ALSO MANDATES COVERAGE FOR CONTRACEPTIVE SERVICES.

WHICH IS ENERGIZING OPPONENTS.

DREW PETERSON TRIAL-VO

OPENING STATEMENTS GOT UNDERWAY TODAY IN THE MURDER TRIAL OF FORMER ILLINOIS POLICE OFFICER DREW PETERSON.

PETERSON IS CHARGED WITH FIRST DEGREE MURDER--

IN THE 2004 DROWNING DEATH OF HIS *THIRD* WIFE--

KATHLEEN SAVIO.

PETERSON IS ALSO SUSPECTED--

BUT *NOT* CHARGED--

IN THE 2007 DISAPPEARANCE OF HIS *FOURTH* WIFE--

ZIMMERMAN WIFE ARRAIGNED-VO-SS

THE WIFE OF FORMER NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH LEADER GEORGE ZIMMERMAN WAS ARRAIGNED TODAY.

THE HEARING WAS UNEVENTFUL--

BECAUSE SINCE SHELLIE ZIMMERMAN HAS ALREADY ENTERED A PLEA OF NOT GUILTY TO A PERJURY CHARGE.

PROSECUTORS ALLEGE SHE MISLED A JUDGE--

ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY SHE AND HER HUSBAND HAD AT HIS APRIL BOND HEARING.

GEORGE ZIMMERMAN IS CHARGED WITH FATALLY SHOOTING TRAYVON MARTIN.

LEE MILLAGE RATE VOTE-ON CAM

WITH PROPERTY VALUES STILL FALLING, LEE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ARE HOLDING THE LINE ON YOUR TAX BILL.

LEE MILLAGE RATE VOTE-PKG

NAT - DROP MULCH BAG

FOR THE LAST 11 YEARS -- PAUL SCHWAN HAS BEEN WORKING ON HIS MCGREGOR ISLES HOME, LOOKING TO BUILD VALUE.

BUT THE ECONOMY HAS BEEN WORKING AGAINST HIM.

PAUL 15:57:31 everything's going down down down

PAUL'S WATCHED HIS HOME VALUE DROP AN ESTIMATED 70-THOUSAND DOLLARS.

15:56:33 it's gone down significantly

COMMISSIONERS KNOW MANY PEOPLE IN LEE COUNTY ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION--

PART OF THE REASON THEY DECIDED TODAY TO KEEP THE MILLAGE RATE THE SAME AS LAST YEAR.

JOHN MANNING 15:54:11 that's the prudent thing to do in my view based on we're still coming out very slowly from this massive recession 18

AND WITH FOUR OF THE FIVE COMMISIONERS ON THE BALLOT THIS YEAR --

IT ALSO SENDS A POLITICAL MESSAGE.

KEN WILKINSON 15:49:11 if they leave the millage the same, then they could say they've actually lowered taxes if values didn't change

PROPERTY APPRAISER KEN WILKINSON SAYS MOST LEE COUNTY PROPERTY VALUES FELL ABOUT ONE PERCENT OVER THE LAST YEAR.

THAT'S ACTUALLY LESS OF A DROP THAN RECENT YEARS.

KEN 15:46:28 we started seeing the values going down and we have essentially bottomed out from those days

16:08:11-19

JEN now, after years of declining property values county staff expects that to change. They're even predicting two percent growth starting next year.

BUT THIS YEAR -- BY KEEPING THE MILLAGE THE SAME WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER PROPERTY VALUES --

HALF A MILLION DOLLARS LESS IS COMING IN FOR COUNTY EXPENSES.

TAMMY HALL 3:04 we're taking from reserves

AND COMMISSIONERS MAY ULTIMATELY TAKE AS MUCH AS 30 MILLION DOLLARS FROM RESERVES TO BALANCE THE BUDGET --

BUT THAT'S A BATTLE THEY'RE STILL FIGHTING.

Bingo. and it's free. 32

NOTHING'S REALLY FREE THOUGH. YOU'RE ASKED FOR THINGS LIKE ADDRESS. ZIP CODE AND PHONE NUMBER.

HERE'S THE IMPORTANT. PART. YES, YOU WANT PUSH NOTIFICATIONS. THAT'S HOW THE CAMPAIGN WILL BROADCAST 'THE PICK.'

"A lot of my friends have smart phones, I-pads, and they use apps for everyday life."

:14:42:41

It would just make more sense to be in person telling them like it's fine to do it over the phone but it's impersonal. 50

COULD IT BE FLORIDA SENATOR MARCO RUBIO. NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE?

"My Mom's a FL resident."

OR COULD IT BE WISCONSIN CONGRESSMAN PAUL RYAN.

IF IT IS. HE WOULDN'T TELL ME.

As far as all that VP speculation, I don't feed the speculation cause I don't think it does the Romney campaign any favors.

BACK ON MITT'S APP. CLICK V-P AND YOU'LL SEE THESE TWO WORDS PACKING PROMISE.

ROBERT WX OPEN-CLIP

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

RAIN CHANCES INCREASING

The vast majority of storms have been east I-75 this week. That's going to soon change and we'll all be in the mix come this weekend.

There's an area of low pressure stationed atop Cuba. It's essentially robbing us of moisture which limits our thunderstorm coverage.

It's heading westbound, and once it's out we'll see the air become more conducive for widespread rain. This will happen Thursday into Friday.

Yes, the upper atmosphere is a little dry as I previously mentioned, but the surface isn't. The humidity is oppressive, and it's not going anywhere. High temperatures will continue to be in the low to mid 90s and with high humidity values it'll feel over 100.

Wednesday will be partly sunny with stray storms firing right along I-75 and pushing inland by the evening.

Thursday will still be partly sunny with very isolated storms around the region.

Friday going into the weekend our winds will shift from the southwest to the southeast which will pin the sea breeze along the urban corrider. Scattered storms are expected, so be ready!

If you're hitting the waters expect winds from the southwest at 10 knots, seas 2 feet, and inland waterways will have a light chop.

TURNING THE FORTUNES OF *OTHERS*--

RINGS FOUND AGAIN-PKG

PAUL RODINSKY IS FINDING TREASURES AND SAVING MARRIAGES ONE RING AT A TIME.

WELL AT LEAST THAT'S THE GOAL.

They don't realize I feel the sentimental value of the piece not just the monetary value.

AND HE'S NOT FINDING JUST ANY OLD TREASURES.

WITH THE HELP OF HIS DECKED OUT METAL DETECTOR, THIS TREASURE HUNTER IS FINDING THE GOOD STUFF.

LIKE THIS 10,000 DOLLAR WEDDING RING HE FOUND JUST LAST WEEK- BEFORE RETURNING IT TO THE OWNER.

HIS SECRET?

if you lost it I just ask you a bunch of questions to try to find out where the tide was and what you were doing at the exact moment that you lost it.

GOING AS DEEP INTO THE GULF AS HIS HAT, HEAD PHONES AND METAL DETECTOR WOULD ALLOW.

THIS GOLD WEDDING BAND IS ANOTHER PRICELESS SENTIMENTAL PIECE OF JEWLERY RODINSKY FOUND.

I WENT INTO THE WATER AND IT TOOK ME ABOUT 15 MINUTES. I THINK IT WAS AND I CAME UP WITHH THIS BIG GOLD BAND.

GREAT NEWS FOR KAREN SANTISI'S HUSBAND WHO LOST HIS GOLD WEDDING BAND THREE DAYS BEFORE, WHILE PLAYING FOOTBALL ON THE BEACH.

HE WALKED UP TO ME AND SAID WELL, DOES THIS LOOK LIKE THE RING? AND I'M LIKE, "OH YAY!!!!!" AND THEN HE WAS LIKE WHAT DOES THE INSCRIPTION SAY LIKE HE WASN'T GONNA GIVE IT TO ME BUT HE DID.

RODINSKY REFUSED ANY money FOR FINDING THE RING. IN FACT HE GAVE HER SOMETHING.

HE'S LIKE NO, NO, NO BUT IF YOU EVER NEED A REALATOR AND HE GAVE ME HIS WIFE PAT'S CARD AND I KEPT THAT CARD BECAUSE I KNEW WE WANTED A RETIREMENT PLACE DOWN HERE AT SOME POINT.

SEVERAL YEARS LATER, SANTISI WAS ABLE TO PAY HIM BACK BY BUYING A HOUSE FROM HIS WIFE.

SOMETHING RODINSKY CALLS GOOD KARMA.

SATISFACTION. I REEP WHAT I SOW.
