DR. DEEDARA HICKS WAS ACCUSED OF DRINKING ON THE JOB.

DR BURKE ONE ON ONE-PLASMA

DR BURKE ONE ON ONE-PKG-BNR

13:53 Dr. Hicks has a real medical condition she is dealing with that I would describe as serious. 14:02

Dr. joseph burke telling nbc2 that's WHY HE INTERVENED WHEN HE HEARD SHE WAS BEING INVESTIGATED FOR DRINKING ON THE JOB.

05:02 At any point did you call the state to stop the investigation? Oh I called and told them there were procedural errors in the original collection of data. 05:10

THE STATE Finished ITS INVESTIGATION - taking no action against hicks.

14:33 Dr. Hicks is not involved in alcohol. That is not a part of her life. 14:36

BUT SOME EMPLOYEES TOLD INVESTIGATORS THEY SAW mini bottles of wine in her purse, and smelled alcohol on her breath. And that she was acting intoxicated.

07:04 I believe Dr. Hicks exhibited some behaviors as the result of her medication. 07:08

IN THIS REPORT HICKS CLAIMs SHEs OFTEN IN EXTREME PAIN. So much so she's cried and SCREAMED IN PAIN.

05:22 i ALSO INDICATED THERE WERE SEVERE MEDICAL IMPLICATIONS. 05:25

If the wind woulda shifted we would've been sitting here homeless. It could've been worse.

With the fire close to contained today - Some crews were tasked with bulldozing lines through the thick woods to stave off potential flareups while dozens of fire fighters doused lingering hot spots Neighbors like Johanna Pfieffer are still keeping a close eye out on their own.

UEP OUTRAGE LETTER-OC-TURN-BOXES

THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL IS SHELLING OUT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN REFUNDS TO PROPERTY OWNERS.

THE MONEY IS LEFT OVER FROM A 1990'S UTILITIES EXPANSION PROJECT.

BUT NOT EVERYONE WHO PAID FOR IT. IS GETTING A CUT OF THE 19 MILLION DOLLARS.

UEP OUTRAGE LETTER-cam99-RTR1

YOU COULD SEE THIS ONE COMING --

CURRENT PROPERTY OWNERS ARE GETTING THE MONEY --

SO IF YOU PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN ASSESMENTS FOR UTILITIES AND THEN SOLD YOUR PROPERTY --

YOU WON'T SEE A PENNY.

ABOUT A DOZEN RESIDENTS HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE CITY --

UEP OUTRAGE LETTER-TRX-PKG

8:13 i dont usually complain about things but this really irritated me:16

IT TAKES A LOT TO GET THIS 80 YEAR OLD FIRED UP.

5:26 i was a little disturbed in fact i was angry 5:30

SARA GOULDING IS ANGRY OVER 19 MILLION DOLLARS THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL PLANS TO REFUND TO PROPERTY OWNERS.

LEFT OVER FROM THE CITY UTILITIES PROJECT IN THE 1990'S.

4:57 they dont even live in florida and they rent it out to someone why should they have the money 5;02

THE GOULDINGS SOLD THEIR SOUTHEAST CAPE CORAL HOME IN 2005 FOR 510 THOUSAND DOLLARS.

SARA SAYS PRIOR TO MOVING, THEIR ASSESSMENTS FOR SEWER AND IRRIGATION WERE PAID OFF.

5;59 something like 9 thousand dollars

BUT EVEN THOUGH THEY PAID FOR IT --

THE GOULDING'S WON'T SEE A DIME OF THE REFUND.

58:07 when they sold the property they recouped the benefit in the sales price

CITY SPOKESWOMAN CONNIE BARRON SAYS THE REFUND WILL GO TO THE CURRENT OWNER BECAUSE THE ADDED VALUE OF THE UTLITIES EXPANSION STAYS WITH THE PROPERTY --

NOT A PARTICULAR OWNER.

58:45 it is fair to think the refund should go to current owner of record because they have paid for that in one way or the other 58:50

WE SPOKE TO A PROPERTY APPRAISER WHO SAYS THAT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHEN A HOME WAS SOLD.

IN 2012, THE HOME THE GOULDING'S SOLD YEARS BEFORE FOR HALF A MILLION, SOLD TO THE CURRENT OWNER FOR 173 THOUSAND DOLLARS.

it stinks 11:06

GOULDING WROTE A LETTER TO THE MAYOR --

HOPING FOR SOME RESOLUTION.

BUT HE TELLS US THERE ISN'T MUCH HE CAN DO.

IT'S WHAT THE CITY BELIEVES MAKES THE MOST SENSE.

UEP OUTRAGE LETTER-CAM99-RTR1

SINCE THE MONEY IS GOING TO THE CURRENT PROPERTY OWNER --

THAT MEANS IF IT'S A BANK OR CITY OWNED PROPERTY -- THE BANK OR CITY WILL GET THE REFUND.

THE EXACT REFUND AMOUNT FOR EACH PERSON WILL BE FINALIZED WHEN THE RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED BY COUNCIL.

STOCKS BUMP-CGTOPS

ROBERT VAN WINKLE FORECAST OPEN-CLIP

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.

NICE WEEKEND AHEAD

High pressure will control the weather over southwest Florida through the weekend. Tonight we will continue to see mainly clear skies and temperatures dropping again to chilly 40's. A few inland places may, once again, touch the upper 30's tomorrow morning.

No rain is on the radar and no showers are in the forecast either. Tomorrow looks like another mostly sunny day with afternoon highs going back to the mid 70's. The average high temperature for tomorrow is 80 degrees and it looks like we will finally get there by the weekend. Winds on Friday will be from the northeast and that will be another signal of the warmer weather to come this weekend.

Skies will be partly cloudy to mostly sunny by Saturday and Sunday and overnight lows moderate to the mid 50's.

AMMO ANGER MANAGEMENT-2SH

IF YOU WANT TO BUY AMMUNITION--YOU MAY HAVE TO PASS AN ANGER MANAGEMENT COURSE.

THE PROPOSAL HAS LEFT SOME PEOPLE SPEECHLESS --BUT ACCORDING TO A FLORIDA SENATOR, IT WILL INCREASE PUBLIC SAFETY.

AMMO ANGER MANAGEMENT-PLASMA

IT'S BECOMING A HOT TOPIC AMONG GUN OWNERS.

THE SENATOR SAYS THE POINT OF THE BILL IS TO GET PEOPLE TO STOP AND THINK BEFORE THEY BUY.

SHE'S FEARFUL OF AMMUNITION STOCK PILING --

AMMO ANGER MANAGEMENT-PKG-BNR

IT'S A PROPOSAL SOME SAY IS --

5:30 unbelievable

OTHERS THOUGHT --

54:52 it was a joke -- it was funny 54:56

BUT IT'S A SERIOUS SUGGESTION.

FLORIDA SENATOR AUDREY GIBSON SAYS SHE WANTS ANYONE BUYING AMMUNITION TO TAKE AN ANGER MANAGEMENT CLASS.

to me its introspective and helps look inward in terms of what are things that trigger anger 1:50 1:55 its also for people to stop and think how much ammunition do i really need 2:00

THE COURSE WOULD BE 2 HOURS ONLINE OR FACE TO FACE.

IT WOULD COST $20 --AND THE CERTIFICATE COULD BE PRINTED AT HOME.

IT WOULD LAST 10 YEARS --THEN REQUIRE AND UPDATE.

:34 there is no restriction on the sell of ammunition at all no restriction on any guns at all:43

BUT IF ANYONE CAN GET IT--SOME WONDER WHAT'S THE POINT.

i don't understand it 7:27 actually its laughable 7:29

THE BILL WOULD REQUIRE A 3 DAY WAITING PERIOD FOR THE SALE OF A GUN AND AMMUNITION TO ANYONE WHO DIDN'T TAKE THE COURSE.

Nat

WITHOUT THE CERTIFICATE --STORES COULDN'T SELL AMMUNITION TO BUYERS.

IF THEY DID --THEY'D FACE SECOND DEGREE MISDEMEANOR CHARGES.

55:57 it opposes on our constitutional rights to bear arms and ammunition for those arms 56:05

10:17 it'd be very annoying its not something I would want to do but you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes 10:21 but personally i think its stupid just to buy bullets 10:24

THE SENATOR SAYS SHE'S HEARD THE OPPOSITION.

BUT STANDS BEHIND THE BILL AND PLANS TO MOVE FORWARD.

AMMO ANGER MANAGEMENT-PLASMA

WE REACHED OUT TO HEALTH OFFICIALS..

THEY SAY IN THEORY IT WOULD BE NICE IF EVERYONE TOOK AN ANGER management CLASS.
