ON THIS DAY, 11 YEARS AGO, LEE COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTY JOE ANDUJAR WAS AN OFFICER FOR THE NEW YORK POLICE DEPARTMENT.
SOT Joe "What were once two tall buildings , of 110 floors each was reduced to 16 stories of rubble, there was heat, smoke fire, everything you could imagine that was going on."
TODAY, NEARLY 11-HUNDRED MILES FROM GROUND ZERO, HE AND OTHERS FROM ACROSS THE COMMUNITY TOOK TIME TO REMEMBER.
NOT JUST 9-11, BUT ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED.
ERECTING 100 FLAGS, EACH IN HONOR OF A LOCAL VETERAN WHO HAS PASSED.
THIS, REPRESENTING A DAY OF PATRIOTISM ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF TRAGEDY.
SOT Joe "That's what we sacrifice everything for. The freedom to be able to gather at events like this, the freedom to be able to speak without having to worry about repercussions, the ability to travel as we desire, that's what the terrorists wanted to take away from us, but what they did is make us stronger."

TODAY, ANDUJAR'S TWO SONS HAVE BOTH SERVED IN THE MILITARY.

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 across Southwest Florida will be on the higher side again today, but it looks as though most of the showers and storms will hold off until the afternoon.
We still have the remnants of a weakening cool front over Central and South Florida, which will serve as the main trigger for those scattered afternoon and evening downpours.
The good news is we don't expect to see cloudy skies all day. In fact, we'll even enjoy a fair amount of sunshine this morning with only a few isolated showers and patchy clouds developing close to the coast. Our temperatures will start off in the mid to upper 70s and then climb into the upper 80s by midday.
As we get closer to noon, showers will start developing as the atmosphere heats up. Rain and storm will continue to build and develop as the afternoon rolls along, resulting in about a 60% coverage of rain. The favored locations for rain this afternoon will be along the urban corridor and along the coast.
One change we'll notice today is the wind direction. On Monday our winds were directed out of the southwest, but now the flow has shifted more easterly. The change in the steering winds will also change the movement of the rain, so instead of the showers moving from west to east , today's rain will drift from east to west. We also notice a fairly stiff breeze at time through the afternoon with some gusts up to 20 mph.
As we work into this evening and tonight, the rain will begin moving offshore. Our sky will gradually clear through the night, and temperatures should manage get slightly cooler with lows in the mid to low 70s with even some upper 60s north and inland.
We'll still be in store for more sun Wednesday through Friday as slightly drier air trickles into the area. We'll still be in line to receive some afternoon and evening rain, but coverage should be pretty isolated. Our afternoon highs these days will reach the low 90s, and our overnight temperatures will be fairly comfortable with lows in the mid to low 70s.
By the upcoming weekend, we'll get back to seeing a slightly better coverage of afternoon and evening storms, but overall we'll still see lots of sunshine along with highs close to 90.

AT POWER PLAY SPORTS IN MORRISVILLE VERMONT --
CALEB MAGOON'S PRICE GUN STILL SPITS OUT LABELS THAT END IN -99 CENTS. BUT WHEN HE GOES TO THE CASH REGISTER:
NATS
"Nothing in there."
HE HAS NO PENNIES INSIDE.
S/ Caleb Magoon / Power Play Sports::12-:17:
"We don't actively go out and get pennies in order to give people the appropriate change."
STARTING THIS MONTH -- THE SPORTING GOODS STORE IS ROUNDING ITS CHANGE TO THE NEAREST NICKEL -- IN THE CUSTOMER'S FAVOR. IF YOU'RE OWED A DOLLAR 63 FROM A CASH PURCHASE-- YOU NOW ACTUALLY GET BACK-- A BUCK 65.
S/ Caleb Magoon / Power Play Sports:::29-:32
"The most I could possibly lose on any transaction is 4 cents."
IT'S HIS WAY OF SUGGESTING THE US GOVERNMENT FOLLOW CANADA'S LEAD -- AND STOP PRODUCTION OF THE COIN. THAT ACTUALLY COSTS THE MINT NEARLY 2 AND A HALF TIMES MORE TO PRODUCE THAN IT'S WORTH.
S/ Rick Vanden Bergh / UVM Business Professor:
"You can't buy anything with a penny."
RICK VANDEN BERGH WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT'S BUSINESS SCHOOL AGREES THAT HAVING THE CENT MAKES LITTLE SENSE. HE SAYS ALL THE TIME SPENT COUNTING COINS AND MAKING CHANGE IS INEFFICIENT FOR COMPANIES. AND OUTDATED TOO.
S/ Rick Vanden Bergh / UVM Business Professor:59-:1:04
The vast majority of what we do is electronic transactions, so you can still have electronic transactions to the penny.
S/ Jack Thurston, Reporting:1:07-1:23
" Of course, lots of folks would never want to see the penny go away. They worry losing the 1-cent piece would lead to an increase in consumer prices across the board. Others like having the coins because it's what they're used to. And some fear the potential impact -- on charities."
S/ Captain. Bill Thompson / Salvation Army: 1:25-1:28
"We survive on the nickels and dimes and pennies.
CAPTAIN BILL THOMPSON IS THE COMMANDER OF THE SALVATION ARMY CHAPTER THAT SERVES THE BURLINGTON VERMONT AREA.
LESS CHANGE IN OUR POCKETS COULD MEAN LESS IN HIS KETTLES AT CHRISTMAS. THOMPSON SAYS THE GROUP WOULD THEN BE UNABLE TO DO A LOT OF ITS OUTREACH WORK. PLUS, HE FINDS CHILDREN LEARN TO COUNT -- WITH THE HELP OF PENNIES.
S/ Captain. Bill Thompson / Salvation Army: 1:46-148
"I think it has a lot more value than we give it."
BACK AT POWER PLAY SPORTS -- CUSTOMERS CARRYING CREDIT CARDS AND CHECKS STILL PAY EVERY LAST CENT. BUT CALEB MAGOON THINKS HIS EXPERIMENT OF ROUNDING THE CHANGE FOR CASH USERS COULD HAVE A RIPPLE EFFECT. HE PREDICTS ONE DAY. WE'LL SEE FEWER ABE LINCOLN PROFILES WITH OUR RECEIPTS.
S/ Caleb Magoon / Power Play Sports: 2:05-2:06
"It's not really needed."

"Congratulations Class of 1940, Plains Memorial High School."
IT'S A TIME OF CELEBRATION FOR A GROUP OF GRADUATES WHO RECEIVED THEIR DIPLOMAS 72-YEARS AGO.
THE OLD PLAINS MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1940 HELD A REUNION AT THE PLAINS AMBULANCE BUILDING.
IT'S FAR FROM THEIR FIRST GET-TOGETHER SINCE GRADUATION.
THIS MARKS THEIR 28TH CLASS REUNION.
"It takes you back to the days when you were real young. It isn't just a case of coming, having a meal and leaving."
"I'm really thrilled that we all still do it. We're 90 years old and we're still going!"
DOZENS ARE STILL GOING FROM THE ORIGINAL CLASS THAT NUMBERED 248.
THEY GRADUATED AT A TIME WHEN GAS WAS 18-CENTS A GALLON AND FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT WAS PRESIDENT.
THE CLASS SENT MANY OF ITS YOUNG MEN OFF TO WAR.
"91 of our boys were in service and we had three Pearl Harbor survivors."
SURVIVING ALL OF THESE YEARS IS WHAT'S SO SURPRISING TO CAREER MILITARY VET ROBERT SERAFIN WHO SERVED IN WORLD WAR II, KOREA AND VIETNAM.
"I don't know how we lived that long, especially me!"
"People keep asking me what I'm doing right, I wish I knew."
BILL MELNYK DROVE FROM MICHIGAN TO MAKE HIS CLASS REUNION.
HE ACTUALLY HAS ONE REASON FOR HIS LONGEVITY.
"If you rest, you rust so I have to keep moving."
THE REUNION INCLUDED CONGRATULATORY NOTES FROM VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN, CONGRESSMAN LOU BARLETTA AND STATE SENATOR JOHN YUDICHAK.
LIVING ALL OF THESE YEARS HAS TAUGHT THE CLASS OF 1940 AN IMPORTANT LESSON FOR US ALL.
"Never forget the old people because one day you'll be old."

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 across Southwest Florida will be on the higher side again today, but it looks as though most of the showers and storms will hold off until the afternoon.
We still have the remnants of a weakening cool front over Central and South Florida, which will serve as the main trigger for those scattered afternoon and evening downpours.
The good news is we don't expect to see cloudy skies all day. In fact, we'll even enjoy a fair amount of sunshine this morning with only a few isolated showers and patchy clouds developing close to the coast. Our temperatures will start off in the mid to upper 70s and then climb into the upper 80s by midday.
As we get closer to noon, showers will start developing as the atmosphere heats up. Rain and storm will continue to build and develop as the afternoon rolls along, resulting in about a 60% coverage of rain. The favored locations for rain this afternoon will be along the urban corridor and along the coast.
One change we'll notice today is the wind direction. On Monday our winds were directed out of the southwest, but now the flow has shifted more easterly. The change in the steering winds will also change the movement of the rain, so instead of the showers moving from west to east , today's rain will drift from east to west. We also notice a fairly stiff breeze at time through the afternoon with some gusts up to 20 mph.
As we work into this evening and tonight, the rain will begin moving offshore. Our sky will gradually clear through the night, and temperatures should manage get slightly cooler with lows in the mid to low 70s with even some upper 60s north and inland.
We'll still be in store for more sun Wednesday through Friday as slightly drier air trickles into the area. We'll still be in line to receive some afternoon and evening rain, but coverage should be pretty isolated. Our afternoon highs these days will reach the low 90s, and our overnight temperatures will be fairly comfortable with lows in the mid to low 70s.
By the upcoming weekend, we'll get back to seeing a slightly better coverage of afternoon and evening storms, but overall we'll still see lots of sunshine along with highs close to 90.

ON THE MEDICAL FRONT THIS AFTERNOON,
COST MATTERS WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR MEDICAL BILLS.
DIFFERENT HOSPITALS CAN ACTUALLY CHARGE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS - FOR THE SAME PROCEDURE.
ARE YOU PAYING TOO MUCH?
LYNDA BAQUERO TAKES A LOOK.
Return to index of stories...
PRICES FOR MEDICAL PROCEDURES ARE ALMOST NEVER THE SAME FROM PLACE TO PLACE.
BUT LISTEN TO THIS DIFFERENCE IN THE COST OF TREATING APPENDICITIS-- ACCORDING TO READER'S DIGEST.
"The difference in cost between the lowest charging facility, and the highest charging facility was 172,000 dollars."
REPORTER: "In the same city?"
"In the same city."
CONFUSION OVER MEDICAL BILLING IS A TOPIC READER'S DIGEST TACKLES IN THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE.
COURTENAY SMITH IS EXECUTIVE EDITOR.
"One essential step everyone should do, is you've got to shop around for the cost of your medical care."
YOU CAN START DOING THAT BY FINDING OUT THE BILLING CODE OR "C-P-T" FOR THE PROCEDURE YOU NEED.
"And then call your hospital and say, this is the code, this is my insurance, what is this going to cost me?"
WEBSITES LIKE FAIR HEALTH DOT ORG CAN HELP YOU SHOP AROUND.
THEY PROVIDE C-P-T CODES FOR COMMON PROCEDURES AND PRICES BASED ON ZIP CODE.
"Another important step people can take, is ask your doctor, do you operate anywhere else, because your doctor may perform the same procedure in a hospital and an outpatient center and one of them is likely to be far cheaper."
WHEN YOU'RE IN THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE OR HOSPITAL--
ENLIST THE HELP OF A RELATIVE IN KEEPING TRACK OF =EVERYTHING=.
"Every supply you are given, a blanket that a nurse gives you, a pill that she hands you, all of that is coded and put on a bill. There may be supplies that you can bring from home and a family member can help you with that."
AND ONCE YOU GET YOUR BILL, IT'S TOUGH TO DECIPHER ALL THE CODES.
THERE ARE NOW THIRTEEN THOUSAND--
AND THAT NUMBER IS EXPECTED TO QUINTUPLE IN 2014. TO 143-THOUSAND MEDICAL BILLING CODES.
"And these codes openly admitted to us, you know what, I make a lot of honest human mistakes when I am assigning codes. So that means there are mistakes in your bills."
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, ASK FOR AN ITEMIZED BILL.
"The bill that you get from the hospital may look itemized, because it will say, pathology, radiology, that's not the itemized bill. The itemized bill, is about 15 pages long."
