STRIKE UP THE BAND -
PROVING POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE ISN'T JUST FOR OLYMPIANS THIS WEEK -
U-S ARMY OFFICIALS TODAY BRING IN THE BRASS FOR A NEW ARMY RESERVE CENTER IN CAPE CORAL --
THE FIRST IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.
this is 10 years in the making
ONLY A SMALL SNAG AS THE COUNTDOWN CONTINUES --
one, two, three
WITH THE PLANS SET STRAIGHT -
WE GET A FIRST GLIMPSE AT THE NEW 46-THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT FACILITY INCLUDING THE RESERVE CENTER, MAINTENANCE FACILITY AND STORAGE BUILDING.
IT'S WHERE FOUR COMPANIES WILL TRAIN - MITIGATING I-E-D'S, BLOWING UP BRIDGES AND LAYING MINEFIELDS -- PART OF GETTING READY FOR WHEN THE CALL COMES.
IT'S A 13-POINT-5 MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT
-- THAT WILL SIT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE NEW V-A HOSPITAL ON DIPLOMAT PARKWAY.
"we've been trying to reach out to the veterans and project the fact that cape coral is a veteran-friendly community and i think the establishment of this base more or less indicates that in a very strong way."
WITH SHOVELS AT THE READY - CITY, STATE AND ARMY LEADERS DIG INTO THESE 15 ACRES OF SOIL.
right now it's called the cape coral army reserve center, but they're hoping to change the name by the time it opens next September
but i am confident that is the right thing to do to memorialize this center after one of our fallen comrades.
AND PLANNERS ARE ASKING FOR THE PUBLIC'S HELP TO PICK THE NAME OF A LOCAL SOLDIER WHO HAS MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE --
because our soldiers are a part of cape coral, we are citizens of cape coral
THE NEW FACILITY WILL BE USED TO TRAIN 325 SOLDIERS ARMY STRONG

IT'S FINALLY HERE-
SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, TEACHERS, AND FAMILIES ARE CELEBRATING THE OPENING OF TORTUGA PRESERVE ELEMENTARY.
IT TOOK ONE YEAR TO GET IT BUILT.
NOW, 675 STUDENTS WILL SOON CALL IT HOME.
This is her first time going to school from being a home-school student so she's really excited to meet her new friends.
EVITA GONZALEZ'S SIX YEAR OLD DAUGHTER MIA IS STARTING FIRST GRADE AT THE NEW SCHOOL.
TORTUGA PRESERVE IS ONE OF LEE COUNTY'S NEW 'STEM' SCHOOLS OPENING THIS YEAR, WHICH STANDS FOR SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING, AND MATH.
I wanted her to go here specifically because it's a STEM school and I've heard so much about the STEM schools and their success nationwide and being that I have a science background I would love for her to also get experience to engineering math science and technology.
THE SCHOOL WILL GIVE KIDS A SPECIAL FOCUS IN 'STEM' AREAS.
PRINCIPAL ALANE ADAMS SAYS IT'S DESIGNED TO GIVE THEM A COMPETITIVE EDGE IN THEIR FUTURES.
We do not know in. 13 years what jobs are going to look like and what jobs are going to be out there. They're going to change, they don't even exist yet. And STEM allows students to have the capability of being critical thinkers and be prepared for those jobs that don't exist yet.
FAMILIES TOURED THE SCIENCE LABS, CLASSROOMS, AND MET THEIR TEACHERS.
AND ALTHOUGH CONSTRUCTION IS DONE - THERE ARE STILL MINOR THINGS TO DO BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR BEGINS.
You know there's little fine tunings just like when you move into a new house there's things that need to be tweaked but we are ready for students on August 8th.

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
SPECTACULAR SUNDAY AHEAD
It's going to be a really quiet night for southwest Florida which will translate to a great Sunday.
We're going to start tomorrow off in the upper 70s with partly cloudy skies. As we progress through the day we'll see more sun than clouds, and most of us stay dry.
You can't absolutely rule out a stray shower during the afternoon heating, but the chance is less than 20%.
Overall, it'll be a stellar day to go to the beach, boating, or hit the golf course. The sun will be out, the winds will be calm, but the heat will be up. High temperatures will be in the low to mid 90s, and with high humidity it'll feel around 100.
Boating conditions will be the best we've seen in several days, too. Winds from the southwest at 5 knots. Seas less than 2 feet, and our inland waterways will be smooth.
Very similar forecast for Monday with benign weather conditions. I'll call it a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures returning to the mid 90s.
Our focal point for the past 7 days has been on an area of high pressure over the Atlantic. It'll loosen its grips on Tuesday which will allow us to see more storms from midweek forward.
The tropics continue to be silent!

Many times fell but always got up
BUT THE LIFETIME OF PROMISE THAT STRETCHED AHEAD OF HER WAS BRUTALLY CUT
SHORT IN THE COLORADO MOVIE MASSACRE.
JAMES HOLMES IS ALSO TWENTY-FOUR -- ACCUSED OF TAKING GHAWI'S LIFE -- AND
ELEVEN OTHERS. HE MAY NOT HAVE MUCH FUTURE, BUT AUTHORITIES ARE RANSACKING
HIS PAST.
WE NOW KNOW THAT HOLMES WAS A PATIENT OF UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO
PSYCHIATRIST LYNNE FENTON, WHO SPECIALIZES IN
SCHIZOPHRENIA.
LAW-ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS ARE STUDYING A NOTEBOOK THAT HOLMES APPARENTLY
SENT TO FENTON IN A PACKAGE THAT ALARMED
POLICE ENOUGH TO SEND IN A ROBOT IN CASE IT HELD EXPLOSIVES.
THE NOTEBOOK REPORTEDLY INCLUDED PLANS FOR A MASSACRE. INCLUDING A STICK-
FIGURE GUNMAN MOWING DOWN VICTIMS.
HOW MUCH DID DOCTOR FENTON KNOW?
