KIDS LIKE 12 YEAR OLD CHANCE VIXLER.

AND THOSE LESSONS ARE HELPING HIM STAY OUT OF TROUBLE.
CHANCE VIXLER, PLAYS PAINTBALL: right now I would have been home smashing stuff or something
JULIAN: but despite the group's positive message the county says they cannot play here because this land is zoned for agricultural use only and paintball does not fall under that and there's also the commercial aspect because the group collects money
PATOR CHARLES PRESTON, ROUTE 7: we hope they can donate because it is very expensive but businesses cannot put into their lives what we do
BUT EVEN IF SOMEONE CANNOT DONATE.
PRESTON SAYS THEY CAN STILL PLAY.
HIS FOCUS IS NOT THE MONEY BUT THE MESSAGE.
PATOR CHARLES PRESTON, ROUTE 7: the activity of paintball is what draws them in to hear a message that changes their lives for the good

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.
LITTLE TASTE OF FALL AHEAD
Dry, stable air is in the process of filtering into Southwest Florida, which will work to drastically lower our rain chances for the next several days.
Instead of tracking those afternoon showers and storms, we'll just be tracking sunshine and a few fair-weather clouds. Come Thursday, we'll even get a break from the oppressively high humidity we've endured for the last several months.
Here's how our Thursday breaks down. In a few areas , we'll start out with some patchy fog. Otherwise, we'll begin with a mostly clear sky and temperatures around 69 degrees… Yes, I said 69 degrees. Sunshine will pretty much dominate our sky through the day, too. Daytime temperatures will peak in the upper 80s to near 90.
Our sky stays clear tomorrow night as well, and with the low humidity levels - it'll feel great! Clear sky, light wind will allow temperatures to bottom out in the upper 60s to lower 70s for yet another night
The subtle drop in humidity will carry over into Friday, making the air feel slightly more splendid. Afternoon temperatures will still be rather warm though. That's what happens with dry air during the fall. Cool mornings and warm afternoons, but thankfully it won't feel oppressive!
Daytime highs will stay mainly in the upper 80s. A refreshing breeze will set up out of the east northeast from 5-15 mph, and we may even get gusts in the 20-25 mph range.
The beautiful weather also rolls along into Saturday. Saturday will feature mainly sunny skies and dry conditions with highs yet again nearing the upper 80s.
By Sunday, there should be enough moisture coming in with the easterly winds to produce a few hit-or-miss showers, but even then, most spots will stay dry.
Enjoy this stretch of dry, sunny, and slightly cooler weather! It looks like a hint of autumn will be in our air for the next few days.
