Bob Matenaer/Naples/14:19 "It was worse than we had anticipated."

TODAY, COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ARE EXPECTED TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY---ONE THAT SHOULD SPEED UP THE PROCESS FOR HIRING A DREDGING COMPANY.

Kathy Minniti/Naples/11:51 "I don't know how you could think its not an emergency."

THE COUNTY HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET A PERMIT TO DREDGE THE WATERWAY---WAITING ON ONE FROM THE US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS.

Georgia Hiller/6:11 "Let's face it, the permit has been coming for two years which in my opinion, is completely unacceptable."

THIS FORCED BEACHGOERS TO TAKE SHOVELS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS OVER THE PAST WEEK--BECAUSE WITHOUT FLOWING WATER---MANGROVES AND WILDLIFE WILL START TO DIE.

Carrol Matenaer/15:30 "They brought attention to the problem, and they did a valuable thing."

Georgia Hiller/5:43 "If I wasn't at the board meeting, i'd be digging with them."

BUT WITH AN EMERGENCY DECLARATION IN THE WORKS---COMMISSIONERS ARE ASSURING THE PUBLIC THAT SOME REAL DREDGING IS FINALLY ON THE WAY.

NICAEA RULING-REM7-LIVE

DCF STATES IN THEIR FINAL REPORT THAT THEY FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF SEXUAL OR PHYSICAL ABUSE.

NICAEA RULING-PKG

THOSE TWO WARNING VIOLATIONS STEMMED FROM A INCIDENT WHERE A BROKEN WINDOW SLAMMED ON A GIRLS FINGERS WHILE SHE WAS PLAYING.

THE REPORT STATES THE WINDOW WAS HELD OPEN WITH A BROOMSTICK AND BLOCK.

WHEN THE CHILD GRABBED THE BLOCK OUT OF THE WINDOW. IT BROKE HER FINGERS.

IN THE REPORT DCF STATES SUPERVISION WAS INADEQUATE BECAUSE THE CHILD WAS PLAYING NEAR A BROKEN WINDOW.

THAT ALSO CAUSED THE SAFETY ISSUES.

PROMPTING THE WARNING VIOLATIONS.

IN A STATEMENT BY NICAEA ACADEMY TODAY THEY SAY ---

Interesting enough the teacher that commenced the complaints is the very teacher who allowed the warning violations. This employee is no longer employed at Nicaea Academy of Cape Coral.

WHEN DCF STARTED THEIR INVESTIGATION, THE ACADEMY SAID A FORMER DISGRUNTLED TEACHER STARTED THE COMPLAINTS.

THREE PARENTS CAME FORWARD ALLEGING CHILD ABUSE LAST NOVEMBER.

ROBERT WX OPEN-CLIP

Without any cold fronts headed for Southwest Florida anytime soon, our weather will stay unseasonably warm through the next several days.

The last cold front that made an approach on Southwest Florida has been fading and fizzling across Central Florida, and we expect this front to ultimately get washed out and stay north of us.

Temperatures will be the big story this week. Daytime highs today should easily reach the low to even mid 80s during the heat of the day, and temperatures will stay on track to get even warmer as we go through the week. In fact, there's actually a chance we'll come close to hitting record highs this week, especially on Wednesday and Thursday with our records at 85 and 86, respectively.

Aside from the unseasonably warm temperatures, we'll enjoy lots of sunshine as our sky stays partly cloudy through most of this week. The early mornings could be an exception, as we may have to contend with dense fog close to sunrise.

Rain chances will be pretty scarce this week with the absence of any big rain makers coming our way. Minus a few pop-up showers, our weather looks dry all the way through the upcoming weekend.

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.

WARM WEEK CONTINUES

A nice weather pattern has set up across our part of Florida and it looks like we are in for several more days like today. Skies will be partly cloudy with daytime highs in the 80's through the weekend. Overnight lows will average in the mid to lower 60's each evening and there could be another round of fog in the mornings for the rest of the week.

The quiet weather will have a couple of very small "wrinkles" in the forecast. First, as mentioned, there will likely be fog to contend each morning. Some places will see thicker fog than others, and the burn-off time could vary by a few hours each days. Second, it is certainly possible that a brief shower could develop in the afternoon. There are showers on the radar today but they remain very isolated and are moving southeast to northwest. That will probably be the scenario for the next couple of days as well.

PAGE FIELD ROAD-2SHOT

A PLAN TO REDIRECT TRAFFIC JUST SOUTH OF PAGE FIELD IS GETTING SOME CRITICISM FROM NEIGHBORS.

THE LEE COUNTY PORT AUTHORITY SAYS ITS PLAN IS SAFE.

PAGE FIELD ROAD-PKG

Page park is the only place Lee Coleman has ever called home.

Sot lee Coleman, page park community treasurer "My parents bought a house out here in 1947 , I was 1 year old when I moved out here and I've been here ever since."

In that time- he's seen a lot of changes.

Including changes to a plan by the lee county port authority to redirect the road into his community.

Sot lee

This plan has changed probably 100 times in 10 years."

It wasn't approved by lee county commissioners until march 2012.

Sot Sean O'Connell

Since then they've abandoned that plan and are building whatever they want."

Sean O'Connell has a filed a lawsuit against the county and the port authority, Saying the moves hurt his properties and the community.

Sot Sean

"All they've done is created a racetrack up to us 41."

Take map ss

This is how the roads are configured now.

But by this summer- page airport road and south road become one.

the new roadway will look like this,

With sidewalks on each side.

Sot Sean

"It would be absolutely dangerous for them to be crossing this road at the conclusion of a blind curve."

Lee county and the port authority disagree, Telling us the plan is safe and there's been no major changes.

They offered no comment beyond that because of the pending lawsuit.

Nats construction

Lee originally voted for the plan because of the hope of new parking for nearby jerry brooks park.

But the approved plan just promises the park "the opportunity to provide additional unpacked or improved parking in the future."

Sot Sean

Whatever has to be done lets work it out and get it done."

NAPLES AIRPORT GOALS-VO

THE NAPLES AIRPORT AUTHORITY JUST SET GOALS FOR THE NEW YEAR.BUT IT WON'T BE EASY TO ACHIEVE THEM.

ACCORDING TO OUR NEWS PARTNERS AT THE NAPLES DAILY NEWS--

THAT ALLOWS A *LIMITED* NUMBER OF AIRCRAFT OVER THAT LIMIT.

THEY'RE CALLED "MAGIC BANDS"--

THEY WILL LINK TO CUSTOMER'S CREDIT CARD INFORMATION.MAKING IT MORE CONVENIENT FOR YOU TO PAY.AND MAYBE LESS LIKELY TO THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU'RE SPENDING.

BUT SOME CONSUMER GROUPS FEAR THAT'S TOO MUCH PERSONAL INFORMATION TO SHARE.

DISNEY WRISTBAND-PKG

"Just tap it against there."

IT'S A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE.

SOME DISNEY RESORT GUESTS ARE BYPASSING THE TRADITIONAL TURNSTILES AND INSTEAD OF A PAPER TICKET, THEY'RE USING AN I-D CARD THAT'S SIMPLY HELD UP TO A TOUCH POINT FOR PARK ADMISSION.

"We love it. It's very convenient and quick. With a 3-year-old, a 1-year-old, and one on the way here in April, every little bit of assistance we can get to make life easier, we appreciate it. We need it."

IN THE COMING MONTHS, THE CARDS WILL BE REPLACED WITH MAGIC BANDS.

THEY'RE WRIST BANDS THAT CONTAIN A GUEST'S ID NUMBER, WHICH IS LINKED TO THEIR CREDIT CARD AND WHATEVER INFORMATION THE GUESTS PROVIDE.

IT BECOMES THEIR KEY NOT ONLY FOR PARK ADMISSION BUT TO ENTER THEIR HOTEL AND EVEN FOR PURCHASING FOOD AND SOUVENIRS.

"Rather than having to constantly dig through their pockets for this piece of paper or that piece of paper or this card or that card, it's all very simply right on their wrist and every family member can have one."

THE MAGIC BANDS ARE PART OF A BIGGER TECHNOLOGY ROLLOUT CALLED MY MAGIC PLUS.

IT INCLUDES A NEW MY DISNEY EXPERIENCE WEBSITE AND SMART PHONE APP WHERE GUESTS CAN MANAGE THEIR ENTIRE DISNEY VACATION.

AS FOR CONCERNS THE NEW SYSTEM IS A LITTLE TOO "BIG BROTHER"-- DISNEY ADMITS IT WILL PROVIDE THE PARK WITH MORE INFORMATION REGARDING GUEST'S PREFERENCES, BUT THEY SAY THE FOCUS IS ON IMPROVING THE GUEST'S EXPERIENCE AND ALL OF THE DATA IS SECURE.
