Take pkg
Gary Mills smokes 16 cigarettes a day.
14:55 I think I might have had 3 on the beach today.
But if some Florida lawmakers have their way--
Mills *could* have to take his habit, somewhere else.
Nat
Today, a Florida senate COMMITTEE UNAMIOUSLY passed a proposal to ban outdoor smoking in public places like beaches, parks and recreational areas like the Time square area on fort myers beach.
Gary mills
13:40 I don't think it would bother me
The proposal would allow local governments to implement the smoke free areas just as long as smoking sections are also available.
Maureen zalewaki, Washington
5:00 I'm in support of the ban. I think the beaches should evolve with the rest of the country's progress on smoking in public places.
In 2010, the mayor of Naples, Bill Barnett, proposed a smoking ban on collier beaches, but it never got through THE STATE legislature.
Maureen
5:24 smoking all around does take away from the sunsets, clear skies and what a beach is supposed to be.
Last September, more than 19 pounds of cigarette butts were collected along bonita beach, as part of international coastal cleanup day.
Litter, smoker Brian Dummitt wants to see less of in the sand.
Brian Dummitt, Ohio
10:50 people should still have the right to smoke.
11:41 as long as you're responsible and you're not putting your ashes out and getting rid of your litter correctly.
Some panelists want to make sure beaches and public parks won't be totally off limits to smokers.
Nat
Under the proposal, Those who break the law would be warned, then ticketed.
many say, it would be hard to enforce.
Gary mills
14:16 tough. It would be almost impossible. You'd have a lot of finger pointers

THIS IS ONE OF HIS FINAL PUBLIC APPEARENCES BEFORE HEADING TO THE VATICAN, CARDINAL WEURL LEAVES THIS SUNDAY TO GO TO THE HOME OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH -- NOT TO RETURN UNTIL A NEW POPE IS ELECTED.
Return to index of stories...
NOT SINCE THE YEAR 1415, WHEN POPE GREGORY THE 12TH ABDICATED, HAS A MAN HAD TO MAKE A DECISION LIKE THE ONE CARDINAL DONALD WEURL IS ABOUT TO MAKE.
- Cardinal
28:41 - the first thing that comes to my mind and heart is just how important this decision is going to be. - 28:50
IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE PERSON THE CONCLAVE ELECTS TO BE POPE BENEDICT'S SUCCESSOR WILL OVERSEE MORE THAN A BILLION CATHOLICS WORLD WIDE. SO IS THERE A FRONT RUNNER? NOT YET, BUT CARDINAL WUERL SAYS BECASUE THE U.S. IS THE WORLD'S ONLY SUPER POWER, DON'T EXPECT HIM TO BE AN AMERICAN.
- Cardinal
32:25 - part of the spiritual mission of the pope is to from time to time remind all of us how that power is supposed to be used and its probably best done by someone who is not identified with the U.S. 32:39
AMERICAN OR NOT, CATHOLICS ARE ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THE ELECTION PROCESS TO BEGIN.
- Roman Samuels - Catholic
41:16 - I think were all really excited to see what's going to happen and how the lord is going to lead us from here. - 41:21
AN ELECTION THAT HASN'T HAPPENED IN HUNDREDS OF YEARS CHALLENGES CATHOLIC TRADITIONS, LIKE WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH THE "FISHERMANS" RING, WORN ONLY BY A SITTING POPE.
Nat - 34:07 - it will be destroyed 34:08
WHILE ANY BAPTIZED CATHOLIC CAN BE ELECTED, THE PAPACY IS TRADITIONALLY FILLED BY A MEMBER FROM THE COLLEGE OF CARDINALS. WITH MANY QUALIFIED CANDIDATES, CARDINAL WEURL SHEDS INSIGHT INTO WHO WILL GET HIS VOTE.
29:44 he who keeps us focused on the spiritual mission of the church, I think that's what I'll be looking forward to seeing. - 29:53
Return to index of stories...
CARDINAL WEURL SAYS THERE IS A COMMON UNDERSTANDING THAT THE COLLEGE OF CARDINALS WILL MEET AND BEGIN THE ELECTION PROCESS BEFORE THE MARCH 15TH SCHEDULED START DATE.
HE SAYS THAT BECAUSE POPE BENEDICT IS STILL ALIVE, THERE WILL BE NO GREIVING OR BURRIAL AND THE ELECTION PROCESS CAN BEGIN SOONER THAN PLANNED.
BUT ONCE STARTED, HE GAVE NO TIME TABLE FOR HOW LONG THE ELECTION PROCESS WILL TAKE.

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.
SPRING TYPE WEATHER ARRIVING
Did the title catch your eye? I'm sure it did… It's true, too. Spring time weather is arriving, but it'll only be here for a few days before another cool down takes over.
So enjoy it while it lasts!
Friday through Sunday will be gorgeous. I'm forecasting partly cloudy skies and no rain. Perfect beach weather, grilling weather, golfing weather, boating weather… You get the idea - the weather will be perfect. Mid 80 degree temperatures will accompany the sunshine. The beaches will be a little cooler though because of the afternoon sea breeze.
Monday will serve as our day of transition as a cold front approaches from our northwest. We'll begin seeing more cloud cover, and by Tuesday/Wednesday we'll have overcast skies with periods of showers.
Grab those rain coats! Oh, and grab the sweaters while you're at it because temperatures will drop into the upper 60s to lower 70s in wake of the front. Morning lows will be in the 50s.
An issue we will deal with over the next 5 days is dense morning fog. You've seen it the past few days, and you will no doubt continue to see it. Play it safe while driving and always turn the low-beam headlights on!
