SPRING TRAINING TIX TRACKING-2SH-TURN BOXES

IT'S A NICE PERK OF THE JOB.

LEE COUNTY LEADERS GET FREE TICKETS TO SPRING TRAINING GAMES.

FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR---COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ARE BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR HOW THEY USE THEIR FREE TICKETS.

SPRING TRAINING TIX TRACKING-CAM 99

TODAY--THE LEE COUNTY INTERIM MANAGER INTRODUCED A NEW POLICY OF TRACKING TICKETS.

CONTRACTUALLY THE RED SOX AND TWINS GIVE COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS TO THE COUNTY FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES---NOT PLEASURE.

SPRING TRAINING TIX TRACKING-PKG

NATS

SPRING TRAINING GAMES ARE A HOT TICKET IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.

AND THERE'S NO BETTER PLACE TO CATCH A GAME THAN IN THE COUNTY SUITES.

I think having a policy to track where the tickets are going is exactly what needs to be done and i'm surprised it hasn't been done before.

FOR THE FIRST TIME---COMMISSIONERS WILL HAVE TO FILL OUT WHO SITS IN THESE SEATS FOR THE RED SOX AND TWINS GAMES.

THROUGH THE COUNTY'S CONTRACT WITH THE RED SOX AND TWINS, THE COUNTY GETS 50 TICKETS FROM BOSTON AND 40 TICKETS FROM MINNESOTA FOR EACH GAME.

THE TICKETS ARE TO BE USED TO PROMOTE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, COMMUNITY GOODWILL, OR TOURISM.

if i'm officially representing the county I will certainly do my job but as far as me just using it as my own personal needs, then no, i don't think that's going to be happening.

WHAT *WILL BE HAPPENING IS EVERYTIME A COMMISSIONER HANDS OFF TICKETS.THEY HAVE TO FILL OUT THIS SHEET.

THE INFORMATION WILL BE TURNED INTO THE LEE COUNTY SPORTS AUTHORITY AND WILL BECOME PUBLIC RECORD.

anything where government can be more transparent helps.

SINCE THE COUNTY NEVER TRACKED THE TICKETS BEFORE, JEFF MIELKE CALLED SEVERAL OTHER CITIES FOR SUGGESTIONS, BEFORE DRAFTING LEE COUNTY'S POLICY.

SPRING TRAINING TIX TRACKING-CAM 99

IF THE TICKETS AREN'T USED--MIELKE SAYS HE IS FIGURING OUT WHAT THE COUNTY WILL DO WITH THEM, BUT IN THE PAST THE COUNTY HAS GIVEN THE TICKETS BACK TO THE TEAMS TO SELL.

DORNER INVESTIGATION FOLO-OC

TWO LOS ANGELES POLICE OFFICERS ARE TELLING THEIR STORIES TONIGHT.OF HOW THEY WENT INTO HIDING FEARING THEY WERE ON THE HIT LIST FOR EX-COP CHRISTOPHER DORNER.

DORNER INVESTIGATION FOLO-PKG

S/ Capt. Phillip Tingirides / LAPD :14 - :29

S/ Sgt. Emada Tingirides / LAPD 1:01 - 1:06

S/ Chief Charlie Beck / Los Angeles Police Dept 1:18 - 1:26

S/ Chris Clackum Reporting not on camera

EMADA AND PHIL TINGIRIDES ARE MARRIED MEMBERS OF THE L-A POLICE DEPARTMENT. WITH A BLENDED FAMILY OF SIX CHILDREN.

. ALL OF WHOM WERE TARGETS OF CHRISTOPHER DORNER. BECAUSE CAPTAIN PHIL TINGIRIDES ONCE RECOMMENDED DORNER BE FIRED.

:14 - :29

"Never, ever did I think somebody would go to this extent in their rage over the discipline that was handed to them.

BUT DORNER DID. THE FORMER L-A-P-D OFFICER WENT ON A KILLING SPREE THAT LEFT FOUR DEAD.

.BEFORE HE WAS CORNERED AND KILLED LAST WEEK IN A MOUNTAIN CABIN THAT BURNED TO THE GROUND NEAR BIG BEAR LAKE CALIFORNIA.

DURING THE COURSE OF HIS RAMPAGE, DORNER RELEASED A MANIFESTO NAMING TINGIRIDES AND OTHERS AS PART OF A RACIALLY BIASED DEPARTMENT THAT HAD FIRED HIM UNFAIRLY.

WITH THAT, THE TINGIRIDES AND THEIR CHILDREN WERE PUT UNDER 24 HOUR PROTECTION IN THEIR HOME. AND THE TASK OF KEEPING THEIR CHILDREN CALM.

1:01 - 1:06

"There were many times we broke down but we'd go to the garage and cry."

BOTH SAID THEY READ ONLY PARTS OF DORNER'S MANIFESTO AND TOTALLY DISAGREED WITH HIS ALLEGATIONS OF RACISM WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT.

.THAT CHIEF CHARLIE BECK STILL PROMISES TO INVESTIGATE.

"I don't, for a minute, discount the effect the manifesto had on LAPD.

THIS WAS ALSO THE FIRST TIME BECK HAS SPOKEN SINCE THE STANDOFF THAT ENDED WITH DORNER'S DEATH.

.WHICH HE SAID IS STILL BEING INVESTIGATED. AS WELL AS WHO'S ENTITLED TO THE ONE MILLION DOLLARS IN REWARD MONEY FOR DORNER'S CAPTURE.

Anchor

Lee County goes with its top pick to take over its embattled helicopter program.

Air Methods will take over MedStar - which was grounded 6 months ago.

NBC 2's Joe Roetz has followed this story and joins us from downtown Fort Myers with the latest.

Take Live

-AFter months of uncertainty and debate about which direction to take over the county's helicopter program, Lee COunty Commissioners decided Colorado based Air Methods is their choice.

Take Vo

-Commissioners made the unanimous decision wihout much debate this morning.

-You'll remember - MedStar was grounded last year after the discovery the county had improperly billed patients upwards of 3 million dollars.

-Patients can expect to pay more. WHile the county charged a base fee of 85- hundred dollars per flight, Air Methods starts at more tan 13-thousand dollars.

- Instead of county taxpayers footing the bill - the money will come straigt from patients and their insurance companies.

-The County estimates it will save more than 2-million a year.

Craig Yale - Air Methods

We're one of the largest fleets - in fact we are the largest non military fleet in the world. And we are one of he largest certificate holders with the FAA so we work with them pretty closely.

The County wasn't charging enough. So al the taxpayers in the county were making up the difference. Yea they were charging less for the flights but al taxpayers were paying for it when people weren't paying their bill.

Take Live

-Once that is established - the company's CEO says they can be set up at Page Field in less than 4 months.

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt" should continue to enjoy pleasant

weather for the next few days. A limited amount of moisture is over the state to

produce isolated showers this afternoon and early evening â€" but the steering

winds from the southwest should keep most of the activity well east of I-75. The

rest of the evening will be partly cloudy and our low tomorrow morning will be

around 60 degrees. Starting tomorrow you will notice a little increase in our

humidity and clouds will be around throughout the day. A weak cold front will

wash-out as it crosses the state on Wednesday and very little, if any, rain is

expected. Our afternoon high will hit 82 degrees tomorrow as the front passes

with little fanfare. In fact, looking at computer guidance for the rest of the

week it looks like we will continue to warm each day into the mid 80’s and keep

our overnight lows in the 60’s. A breeze off the st1:place w:st="on"Gulf of

Mexico/st1:place will likely hold the beach temperatures in the upper 70’s to

To get there- she has to cross shell point boulevard near woodsong lane.

Sot Frankie

I'm carful to look."

Careful- because cars are always zipping by here.

This crosswalk- the same one 87 year old Kenneth Davis was riding across this morning.

Florida highway patrol tells us davis was on his bicycle when Jared pike spotted him.

Pike tried to stop, but couldn't,

Hitting davis head on.

Sot Maryann Thomas, fort Myers resident

" the first thing I did was pray for the man."

The speed limit on this road- 45 miles per hour.

The impact so great-davis was thrown from his bike, landing 62 feet from the point of impact.

Sot Maryann

" on thing that does concern me is the speed limit on shell point blvd."

Not just because of fast cars,

But because they don't slow down at crosswalks.

Nat

We kept our eye in the crosswalk all day.

Lots of pedestrians, bicyclists and golf carts came through.

But not one car stopped.

Sot Jane Durrell, shell point resident.

"both cars and bikes have to be really watchful because you just never know."

Frankie doesn't trust drivers-

So she's taken her safety into her own hands.

AND ENOUGH NAME BRAND DONATIONS

This boutique will pull items from all over southwest Florida. Were talking about Louis Vuitton purses, coach, and Chanel.

EVERYTHING WILL BE PRICED BETWEEN 9-99 AND 24-99.

AND WHILE THIS TYPE OF STORE IS NEW TO THE FIVE COUNTY REGION-

THERE ARE 48 OTHER BOUTIQUES AROUND THE U-S JUST LIKE IT.

We have some for profit thrift businesses that do sell higher brands and they advertise themselves as selling higher brands so I think well be more in line in terms of competing with their prices as opposed to our own regular stores.

SALES WILL SUPPORT COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES, JUST LIKE THE REGULAR STORES.

I think its excellent to know that the money is going to a worthwhile cause.

AND WITH A GOOD CAUSE BEHIND IT ALL-

AND A DEAL TO BE HAD-

I don't care how much money you've got you always feel good when you find a little bargain.
