TOSS TO KELLY-2SHOT

MAYBE YOU'VE SEEN THEM. STANDING AT BUSY INTERSECTIONS ASKING FOR DONATIONS TO HELP VETERANS.

BUT SOMETIMES THAT MONEY DOESN'T STAY IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA TO HELP OUR OWN VETS.

NBC2's KELLY CRESWELL IS LIVE IN THE NEWSROOM WITH THE STORY OF ONE VETERAN TRYING TO CHANGE THAT.

RAISING MONEY FOR VETS-NEWSROOM

LEE COUNTY DID PASS A LAW EARLIER THIS YEAR REQUIRING THAT VETERANS ORGANIZATIONS TRYING TO ASK FOR MONEY HAD TO BE NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED BY CONGRESS.

RAISING MONEY FOR VETS-PKG

INVEST IN AMERICA'S VETERANS FOUNDATION IN CAPE CORAL NEEDS EVERY PENNY IT CAN GET.

SO WHEN ONE OF ITS OWN CHARTER MEMBERS SAW A VETERANS FOUNDATION FUNDRAISER---SHE DROPPED A BIG DONATION IN THE BUCKET AND CALLED THE PRESIDENT TO TELL HIM.

she said Ralph, I'm glad you're finally out there trying to get donations and collect money locally to keep your business going, to keep your foundation going.

PROBLEM WAS---IT WAS THE "VETERANS IN NEED FOUNDATION" FROM POMPANO BEACH.

A NAME SO CLOSE---EVEN A MEMBER COULD BE MISTAKEN.

and she took her $50 back and gave it to us, which was needed at the time.

that happened here at this walgreen's, just three blocks away from the Veterans Foundation headquarters, but now a Vietnam Veteran wants the city to enforce a more strict ordinance compared to what the county already has.

an ordinance that would require the city to prohibit anyone from soliciting funds from all property owned by the city of Cape Coral.

BRUCE MILLER PROPOSES NON-CHARTERED VETERANS ORGANIZATIONS SHOULD BE BANNED FROM CITY STREETS, PARKS, AND EVEN PARKING LOTS.

THIS GOES A STEP ABOVE THE COUNTY'S ORDINANCE OF ALLOWING NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED VETERANS ORGANIZATIONS FROM SOLICITING IN JUST ROADWAYS AND INTERSECTIONS.

WHILE MILLER ADMITS HE CANNOT STOP CHARTERED ORGANIZATIONS ON THE EAST COAST FROM COMING TO THE CAPE---HE WANTS PEOPLE TO THINK AND ASK THE NEXT TIME THEY DROP A DOLLAR IN THE BUCKET.

RAISING MONEY FOR VETS-NEWSROOM

THE COUNTY DOES REQUIRE A VETERANS GROUP TO GET A PERMIT IF IT WILL BE SOLICITING AT PARTICULAR ROADWAYS OR INTERSECTIONS.

MILLER WILL PRESENT HIS IDEAS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FRONT OF CAPE CORAL CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TONIGHT DURING PUBLIC COMMENT.

kids while they're at work.

SOT GLADYS HAMPTON

How dare you guys stop school in session. How dare you do that to our

children. What are you thinking about? Not about them.

The walkout in the nation's third-largest school district is a real test for

Mayor Rahm Emanuel and his city, as parents and school officials begin the

task of trying to ensure nearly 400,000 students are kept safe.

Emanuel says the city has asked the union.which represents 29 thousand

teachers.to resume the bargaining immediately.

SOT RAHM

I am disappointed that we have come to this point given that all the other

parties acknowledge how close we are. Because this is a strike of choice.

And because of how close we are it is a strike that is unnecessary.

Sticking points include teacher raises and evaluations as well as recalling

laid-off teachers.

SOT JESSE SHARKEY, VP OF TEACHERS UNION

Rahm Emanuel has really made it a point of pride. to try change many

features of the schools. he has tried to do it all at once. and that has

added pressure and mistrust.

Chicago has enacted an emergency contingency plan.

144 schools are open for students, five hours today.

They will be provides breakfast and lunch to these students, but other than

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.

MORE SUN, FEWER SHOWERS

Hopefully you were able to stay dry today, nearly all of us saw rain! As we progress through the week, the rain will be replaced with sun.

The movement of each storm cell was due east as it all glided along a frontal boundary to our north. That boundary is separating muggy air to the south, and dry, fall like weather to the north.

As the front sinks further it'll erode away. That's sad news for us because the nice weather over the southeast will not penetrate our area!

However, by southwest Florida standards the weather will be great.

Here is what's on the docket - lots of sunshine, less in the way of rain, and more in the way of beach time.

There will be a stray shower or two early in the morning, but 90% of the area will be dry. During the afternoon hours we'll see the sea breeze push through and our storms will be concentrated along it. Due to the winds now being from the northeast, the sea breeze will be pinned along the urban corridor. Make sure the windshield wipers are working for the drive home!

Wednesday into the weekend, you'll really see and feel the changes. Temperatures will rebound due to a lot of sunshine. They'll be in the mid 90s, and with humid air in place - it'll feel around 100 degrees! Isolated storms will be in the forecast each afternoon, but they'll be very widely spaced. Rain chances will be around 30% each day.

Boating conditions are improving, too, so it's time to start back hitting the water and catching some rays!

PINK EYE GERMS-ON CAM

THE HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS CONJUNCTIVITIS OR "PINK EYE"-- IS ONE OF THE TOP REASON CHILDREN MISS SCHOOL OR DAYCARE.

ONE DAYCARE PROVIDER SAYS SHE'S ABLE TO KEEP HER STUDENTS "PINK EYE" FREE FOR YEARS!

PINK EYE GERMS-PKG

WHETHER ITS A TOY. OR A CAMERA. KIDS WILL TRY TO PUT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING IN THEIR MOUTHS.

"They just children. their hands be everywhere."

LINDA ALEXANDER IS THE OWNER OF LUKE MIRACLE'S GROUP DAYCARE AND SHE SAYS KEEPING THE KIDS ARE SAFE AND HEALTHY IS HER TOP PRIORITY.

"Pretty much everything that can be touched by a child. we wipe it down."

GERMS SPREAD EASILY WHEN KIDS ARE IN CLOSE QUARTERS ESPECIALLY AT SCHOOLS AND DAYCARES. AND PINKEYE IS ONE OF THE MOST CONTAGIOUS.

"I pretty much spray it everywhere, mostly on the toys and let it air dry."

A CHILD CAN GET BACTERIAL OR VIRAL PINKEYE FROM AN INFECTED CHILD COUGHING OR SNEEZING OR TOUCHING TOYS THAT ARE CONTAMINATED.

"If they put it in their mouth we sanitize, basically we sanitize everythign every day anyway."

IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE AND YOUR CHILD MAY WAKE UP WITH RED OR PINK EYES. OR THEIR EYE MAY BE STUCK TOGETHER BECAUSE OF DISCHARGE.

"We've been open for four years and so far we haven't had a case of pink eye."

SHE SAYS THE KEY TO SUCCESS IS SIMPLE. WASHING HANDS.

"The thing I stress to my staff is wash your hands. after every diaper change, we wear gloves. but still, wash your hands."

THEY USE GLOVES TO CHANGE DIAPERS AND CHANGE THE SHEETS ON EACH CHILD'S CRIB DAILY.

IF SHE THOUGHT A CHILD DID HAVE PINK EYE. THEY WOULD BE SENT HOME AND ASKED TO GET A NOTE FROM THE DOCTOR.

BUT IT MAY BE A TYPE OF PINK EYE THAT IS NOT CONTAGIOUS.

"It also could be allergies, so we tell the parents to go get a statement from the doctor saying that they don't have pink eye."

KIDS LEFT IN CAR-PKG

IT'S THIS TARGET STORE AT THE FORUM WHERE FORT MYERS POLICE SAY 29 YEAR OLD SARAH LEE LEFT THREE CHILDREN ALONE IN THE CAR SATURDAY.

WHILE SHE WENT IN AND SHOPPED.

LEE TOLD OFFICERS, SHE DID NOT THINK SHE WOULD BE LONG THAT NIGHT.

Five minutes and your vehicle could be gone in two. And your children.

CAPTAIN JIM MULLIGAN WITH THE FORT MYERS POLICE DEPARTMENT SAYS A CONCERNED CITIZEN CALLED FOR HELP AFTER NOTICING THE CHILDREN.

OFFICERS DISCOVERED LEE HAD BEEN INSIDE FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES.

NATS

WHEN SHE CAME OUT OF THE STORE.

OFFICERS CHARGED HER WITH CHILD NEGLECT-

THREE COUNTS OF LEAVING A CHILD AGE SIX OR UNDER UNATTENDED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE FOR LONGER THAN 15 MINUTES.

What could it take a stranger to walk up, talk to the kids through the glass maybe ask them to open up the glass- open up the door or if they wanted it that bad, break the glass steal the vehicle with the children.

ACCORDING TO POLICE, THE CAR WAS RUNNING.

BUT IT DOESN'T SAY IF THE A/C WAS ON.

NATS

STILL, CHARLENE GARDNER, WHO'S A COORDINATOR WITH SAFE KIDS IN LEE AND COLLIER COUNTIES.

SAYS THERE ARE MORE DANGERS EVEN IF THE CAR IS RUNNING.

The child has access to the front seat being able to get out of their seat getting into the front seat putting the gear in place messing with all sorts of various things which can present a very big danger.

POLICE SAY THESE KINDS OF CASES ARE RARE.
