BUT THE FIGHT FOR THE FENCE HAS TAKEN ON A NEW MEANING IN THE WAKE OF THE SANDY HOOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SHOOTING IN CT.

"We all feel very blessed that were working with these little ones and take it all more to heart how important it is to keep them safe."

"With the recent terrible tragedy in Connecticut everyone wants more security."

THE SCHOOL AND RESIDENTS CAME TO A COMPROMISE.

TODAY CITY COUNCIL APPROVED A SIX FOOT VINYL CHAIN LINK FENCE--

"TRACKING OUR NEXT FRONT"

It was a beautiful day across Southwest Florida with wall to wall sunshine. Even though daytime temperatures managed to climb to 80°, with a nice drop in our humidity this afternoon it felt quite pleasant out there. For the remainder of our Wednesday, look for sunny skies and a dry evening with temperatures settling into the 70s.

Mostly clear skies will prevail tonight and as winds switch to the east and southeast we will see an increase in the moisture overnight. This will set the stage not only for milder overnight lows, but we're also looking at the potential for patchy fog to develop by early tomorrow morning with temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 60s.

Our Thursday will be another dry one under partly sunny skies. With a southerly flow across the peninsula, a more humid airmass will be in place with daytime highs reaching the lower 80s. We will more than likely see an increase in the cloud cover late Thursday and into early Friday with the approach of our second cold front for the week.

This front will bring us a few scattered showers during the early morning hours on Friday, with a more significant push of colder air arriving during the day. Skies will clear from north to south, but despite the afternoon sunshine daytime highs will struggle to reach 70° in many locations. Friday night looks to be the coldest as overnight lows will drop into the lower to middle 40s by Saturday morning. Afternoon highs will remain quite cool as they work their way into the upper 60s with lots of sunshine.

18:43:51 7

"You're giving it to a local organization hand delivering to established organization."

IF YOU DO DONATE ONLINE - THE SAFEST METHOD OF PAYMENT IS A CREDIT CARD ACCORDING TO SCHELL.
