FIRST WEATHER-WXWALL


High pressure building across the eastern United States is setting up to deliver us some afternoon rain each day this week. The winds are coming around to a northeasterly direction which is expected to continue through the weekend. The morning weather forecast should be mainly dry for the rest of the week with lows in the mid 70's. Afternoon high temperatures will climb to the low 90's for the next few days and with building clouds each afternoon we will track showers and downpours developing inland and moving back toward the Gulf of Mexico by late day. Dry air and comfortable temperatures don't look to be in the cards for us for the rest of the week. Return to index of stories...

FROM IN FRONT --

BIGELOW 22:21:13 what the hell is going on

AND BEHIND --

22:26:35 the facts of the medstar program are coming out and quite frankly they are appalling.

LEE COUNTY MANAGER KAREN HAWES FOUND HERSELF SURROUNDED BY ATTACKS TODAY.

MANN 22:15:53 the buck does stop of course at your desk.

THE STRONGEST CAME FROM COMMISSIONER BRIAN BIGELOW --

BIGELOW 22:24:31 you're just not suitable for the job.

HE CALLED FOR HAWES TO *STEP DOWN*

BIGELOW 22:24:12 you might want to have a discussion with the chairman - negotiate end to you being county manager 18

WHILE THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN; ANSWERS DIDN'T COME EITHER CONCERNING THE SUDDEN SHUTDOWN OF MEDSTAR.

BACK ON AUGUST 21ST, EMS CHIEF KIM DICKERSON TOLD US THE PROGRAM WAS ON HIATUS SO IT COULD GAIN NATIONAL ACCREDITATION.

MANN 22:17:08 at that time it sounded like it was a temporary shut down 6-9 months until we can get our act together. 14

BUT SINCE THEN THE NBC2 INVESTIGATORS UNCOVERED AN ALMOST THREE MILLION DOLLAR BILLING BLUNDER.

THE CLERK OF COURTS IS INVESTIGATING THAT.

AND SO IS THE F-A-A.

AND TODAY, HAWES TOLD COMMISSIONERS HER OFFICE WILL BE LOOKING INTO MEDSTAR'S OPERATIONS AND PERSONNEL ISSUES. AFTER CLAIMS EMPLOYEES *TRIED TO BRING ATTENTION TO MEDSTAR'S ISSUES MONTHS AGO.

MCALLISTER 3:10:15 if you identify a problem at lee county you get identified as the problem 20

MANY CURRENT EMPLOYEES WOULDN'T TALK TO US WITH CAMERAS ROLLING --

SAYING THEY'RE AFRAID OF LOSING THEIR JOBS.

BUT PEOPLE LIKE MISTY TURLE REMINDED COMMISSIONERS THERE ARE VERY *REAL PEOPLE IMPACTED BY MEDSTAR AND THESE DECISIONS -- SHE CREDITS MEDSTAR WITH SAVING HER DAUGHTER'S LIFE.

PEACE RIVER BODY FOUND-OC-VO-SS-OC


INVESTIGATORS HAVE DISCOVERED THE BODY OF A WOMAN WHO THEY BELIEVE WAS PUSHED OFF A BRIDGE.

IT HAPPENED ON STATE ROAD 70 IN ARCADIA OVER THE WEEKEND.

DEPUTIES SAY THESE TWO MEN ARE INVOLVED --

BOTH NOW FACING CHARGES IN CONNECTION WITH HER DEATH

ABC 7'S MEAGHAN SMITH HAS THE DEVELOPMENTS FROM DESOTO COUNTY. Return to index of stories...


PEACE RIVER BODY FOUND-PKG-BNR


deputies know little about the woman pulled from the peace river this morning.

sheriff 6:37 "her body has been recovered so now we're trying to identify this young lady."

two men have been arrested in connection with her death-

and we're told they're not cooperating with law enforcement.

sheriff 6:13 "all we know is that she's possibly from the tampa area- she's a black female, 18-25 years of age. we were told that her first name was possibly keisha."

search crews found her by helicopter today after their search began sunday.

about 2 pm that day-

detectives say the woman was with her boyfriend, mark huntley and his friend- andrew skevington, on the bridge at morgan park.

investigators report that huntley pressured his girlfriend to jump into the water- even though she told him she couldn't swim.

deputies say he pushed her in anyway.

sheriff 6:04 "she went under and was not seen again."

deputies say both men then jumped in the water, but it was too late.

they were arrested-

huntley for manslaughter and skevington for accessory after the fact- that's because deputies say the 2 men took all of the victim's things- including her id, and took off.

michael johnson watched the search-

michael 1:11 "this right here is just odd, weird and plain disturbing."

and is relieved the victim has been found.

deputies here are working with law enforcement agencies in the tampa area to hopefully figure out who she is. Return to index of stories...

The winds are coming around to a northeasterly direction which is expected to continue through the weekend.

Dry air and comfortable temperatures don't look to be in the cards for us for the rest of the week.

In the Atlantic we continue to monitor storms that are not a threat to Florida. Leslie and Michael are still on the map and moving north toward colder waters and eventual demise. A new tropical depression farther south could develop into Tropical Storm Nadine, but this potential storm is also expected to curve away from the United States. Return to index of stories...

IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW NEEDS A JOB--

SOUTHWEST FLORIDA MAY BE THE RIGHT PLACE TO BE.

A NEW SURVEY RELEASED TODAY FROM MANPOWER FOUND

IN THE NATION FOR EMPLOYERS LOOKING TO HIRE IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.

ABC 7'S KELLY CRESWELL SHOWS US, SPECIFICALLY, WHO IS LOOKING TO HIRE RIGHT NOW. Return to index of stories...


LEE CO POSITIVE JOBS OUTLOOK-PKG


ARGUABLY THE HARDEST HIT IN THE RECESSON, SOUTHWEST FLORIDA IS ON THE MAP AGAIN---THIS TIME FOR PUTTING PEOPLE BACK TO WORK.

WITH LEE COUNTY'S UNEMPLOYMENT SITTING AT 9.7 PERCENT, HIGHER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE, BUT IT COULD BE GOING LOWER WITH TWO JOB FAIRS LINED UP AT SOUTHWEST FLORIDA WORKS.

that's just a reflection of the local labor market and that employers are interested in hiring again. So the outlook is very good, very positive.

FLORIDA GULF COAST UNIVERSITY ECONOMICS PROFESSOR DR. GARY JACKSON SAYS IT'S NOT A SURPISE HIRING IS ON THE UPSWING WITH SEASON JUST AROUND THE CORNER

we've not added the number of jobs we'd like to be adding but certainly that's a positive sign that 22% of the companies in the Manpower survey indicated that they're going to be adding employees.

THE AREAS WHERE THOSE EMPLOYEES WILL BE ADDED DR. JACKSON SAYS ARE RETAIL, PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS SERVICES, HEALTHCARE, AND OF COURSE---HOSPITALITY.

we're going to need more help at the front desk, absolutely, and guest services, we're going to need more help in housekeeping.

AT HOTEL INDIGO IN DOWNTOWN FORT MYERS--A DOZEN PEOPLE WERE HIRED THIS SUMMER.

so fourth quarter, definitely going to need some new faces.

WHILE THIS LATEST SURVEY IS POSITIVE, DR. JACKSON SAYS THERE ARE STILL SOME UNCERTAINITES WITH EMPLOYERS.

there's the election, what's happening in Europe, the issues with the federal budget and healthcare.

BUT EVEN WITH ALL THOSE UNCERTAINTIES, THEY'RE CERTAIN AT HOTEL INDIGO THEY'LL BE HIRING MORE FOLKS IN THE MONTHS TO COME.
