YEARS OF WORKING WITH AIRCRAFTS RIGHT IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.

Jim Lennane/9:10 "I've flown a lot of different airplanes."

JIM LENNANE KNOWS ALL ABOUT THE NAPLES AIRPORT--AND THE ONE THING RESIDENTS CAN'T STAND.

Jim Lennane/6:11 "Everyone knows there's noise but no one knows exactly what it is."

A FORMER WORKER WITH I-B-M, LEANNE DESIGNED A SYSTEM TO HELP SOLVE THAT ISSUE.

ONE HE HOPES WILL PUT AN END TO THE ARGUMENT OF HOW MUCH NOISE A JET REALLY MAKES.

Jim Lennane/6:00 "One of the problems today is you can't really tell which complain was valid and which isn't."

IT'S ALL PART OF HIGH TECH MICROPHONE SYSTEM THAT WOULD BE PLACED IN AREAS WHERE RESIDENTS COMPLAIN ABOUT AIRPORT NOISE.

THE MICROPHONES SENSE A TAKE OFF OR LANDING BY A JET--MEASURING THE SOUND AND SENDING THAT DATA BACK TO A COMPUTER.

Jim Lennane/7:21 "This will be over a wider area, we'll get a much more accurate reading on takeoff and arrival noise."

IT WOULD COST OVER 5 THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH TO FUND THE SYSTEM.

THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY WOULD FOOT THE BILL-BUT THEY'RE NOT SURE HOW HELPFUL THE INFO WOULD BE.

Ted Soliday/18:25 "Are they interpretable facts and is it info the public can use?"

BUT LENNANE BELIEVES IT WILL PUT ALL THEORIES TO REST--FINALLY GIVING THE CITY ACCURATE NOISE LEVELS TO RELY ON.

8:28 "At least it will be factual and that's the goal, to have the facts in place of speculation and emotion." Return to index of stories...

STUDENTS FINDING WAYS TO CHEAT-PKG


s/Scott Schober, Berkley Varitronics Systems

s/David Callahan, Author, The Cheating Class

s/Alan Judd, Investigative Reporter, Atlanta Journal Constitution

s/David Tomar, Shadow Scholar

THE INTERNET….CELL PHONES….ELABORATE ELECTRONICS…

THESE ARE SOME OF THE WAYS CHEATING HAS GONE HIGH TECH.

Voiceover with shots of a blue tooth-based cheating system

"It is the safest and most undetectable form of invisible communication available"

DESPERATE TO PUT A STOP TO THESE MODERN DAY SCHEMES, SCHOOLS ARE ALSO TURNING TO TECHNOLOGY TO FIGHT BACK.

1:36:17-27 Scott Schober: It's a cellphone detector but a teacher can simply tuck it away in their pocket, now they can walk around as they're

proctoring an exam and find the students that are cheating, and get close to them and catch them in the act.

BUT WHERE DO THESE STUDENTS LEARN THEIR CHEATING WAYS?

1:16:43-17:02 David Callahan: They get that idea from watching the news, seeing what's going on on Wall Street, seeing what's going on in

Major League Baseball and sports. In any sector of society where the adults are in charge, there seems to be a lot of cheating. So I think

that a lot of young people believe that that's the way the world works.

AND EVEN KIDS' DAY-TO-DAY ROLE MODELS ARE CAUGHT IN THE CHEATING GAME.

FROM TEACHERS CHANGING TEST RESULTS…

1:27:56-28:06 Alan Judd: They would call them cheating parties, or erasure parties. They apparently would get a pitcher of margaritas

and a stack of papers and fix them.

…TO PARENTS CONTACTING A GHOSTWRITER FOR "ASSISTANCE". AS DAVID TOMAR DISCOVERED, MOM AND DAD ARE

WILLING TO OPEN THEIR WALLETS TO HELP GET THE GRADE.

1:14:08-14:16 David Tomar: The parent is emailing me and saying, you know, my kid needs this, my kid needs that, and can you write this essay for my kid?

And here's my credit card.

IT'S AN EPIDEMIC OF DISHONESTY THAT RAISES A CRITICAL QUESTION: ARE WE ENCOURAGING OUR KIDS TO CHASE SUCCESS AT ANY PRICE? Return to index of stories...

A STATE LAW PROPOSED TODAY WOULD ALLOW CHILDREN OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, BORN IN THE U-S, TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR IN-STATE TUITION.

UNLIKE THE DREAM ACT THIS BILL ONLY DEALS WITH CHILDREN WHO ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS BY VIRTUE OF BEING BORN IN THE U-S.

FOR YEARS THOSE STUDENTS HAVE BEEN DENIED THE ABILITY TO GO TO COLLEGE BECAUSE IN-STATE TUITION IS BASED ON A STUDENTS' PARENTS' RESIDENCY STATUS.

the future of the center isn't as safe as the birds living here.

nats: "when the sunlight hits him, he's almost iridescent."

a lack of donations has forced the non-profit to dip into savings to keep the center running.

"we have about enough money in the bank for one month's operating expenses." jacanne duffy, volunteer

without any financial help soon, the center will be forced to close its rehabilitation facility.

"it is a possibility, but it's the last thing in the world any of us want to do." callie stahl, operations manager

the center spends more than 200-thousand dollars a year treating 15-hundred tortoises nats i believe she's probably going to be blind, certainly not going to be releasable." birds and other animals.

nats: he will sit at the water's edge

now officials are asking for the community to step up and help out.

"we don't want people to think we're a lost cause by any means because we're doing everything that we can to continue doing what we do here." callie stahl, operations manager
