The 19 acre property has been sitting empty for years-- it is used once in a while for special events like the boat show last week-- and right now crews are setting up a tent for the antique show this weekend. But now that the property is for sale-- a local artist wants to make sure this property doesn't get developed.
Paul arsenault, naples artist
"20:22 It would poison the good will and the good responsible future of a naples that just succumb to another greedy developer 33"
Nearly one hundred people have signed a petition at paul arsenaults art gallery in naples-- supporting the transformation of the 19 acre grand central station property into the citys central park. A green space for everyone to enjoy.
Chase carrick, naples resident/signed petition
"4:35 we do not need more cement, we do not need a convention center, we do not need developers in there trying to make money this is a beautiful town and we don't want to kill the golden goose 50"
Supporters are hoping a donor will buy the estimated 25 million dollar land and preserve it.
Naples Mayor john sorey says it's too little too late. A buyer is already working out a deal with the bank that should wrap up by the end of march. He also says a park means no profit.
Mayor john sorey, city of naples
"27:07 it needs to be income producing so would love to have it as a park, the reality is that I'm just not sure it makes sense 16 because a, the purchase price 27:25 Then the cost to the city to maintain it 29"

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.
Return to index of stories...
Across northern parts of Florida, we're tracking as weak disturbance that will bring more cloud cover and a few showers to areas mostly north of Orlando and the I-4 corridor, so the bulk of this weather system will not have much of an influence on our local weather. We will, however, continue to see the wind flow become more southerly, which means the warmth and moisture keeps building in as we go through the rest of the week.
By Wednesday, humidity will keep creeping up, and temperatures will follow suit as we see daytime highs breaking into the 80s. More clouds will also develop during the day, but sunshine will continue to be our main weather player.
Signs point to the warm and sunny pattern holding into the upcoming weekend and likely into next week, which means most days will feature a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the low 80s and lows in the low to mid 60s.

IT WAS THE HAPPY ENDING AN ENTIRE NATION HAD BEEN HOPING FOR AFTER BEING
RESCUED FROM A BUNKER, AN APPARENTLY UNHARMED 5 YEAR-OLD, SITTING UP, ON A
STRETCHER, BEING WHEELED TO SAFETY.
The boy named Ethan, who has a mild form of autism and ADHD, was held
hostage for nearly a week, but today his family says he's doing just fine.
Vernon - Great Uncle "He's happy, he's happy to be home, he's very excited,
he , like I said, he's happy to be home and he looks good, he looks good."
Ethan's great aunt and uncle shared their relief and joy.
Deborah Cook, Great Aunt "I was telling some of the family, I would do
cartwheels all the way down the road if I could, I was just ecstatic,
Residents celebrated too.
Right now we're truly blessed, truly blessed to see God work a miracle in
our hometown." Johnny Jackson
The harrowing ordeal began when James Lee Dykes killed a school bus driver
and snatched Ethan.
Taylor Hodges, pastor of Midland City Baptist Church: ""Many people here don
't keep their doors locked, things are going to change in our community
especially for our school system."
Law enforcement, led by the FBI, spent six days talking with Dykes through a
pvc pipe - meanwhile they were training for different rescue senarios in
this replica bunker they built.
Officials decided to storm the bunker after Dykes became more difficult and
footage from a hidden camera showed him holding a gun.
They exploded their way in shooting and killing Dykes in the process.
standup close:
Ethan's family describes him as a very loving little boy who loves hugs - he
will be getting plenty of those as he celebrates his sixth birthday
tomorrow.

NEW MOMS ARE TURNING TO TEA LEAVES, OATMEAL EVEN BEER TO INCREASE MILK PRODUCTION.
BUT DO THEY REALLY WORK AND ARE THEY SAFE?
ERIKA EDWARDS FOUND THE ANSWERS.
Return to index of stories...
WHEN MANY WOMEN HAVE THEIR FIRST BABY -- THEY ASSUME THEY'LL BREAST FEED.
ERIN MEYERS WAS THE SAME WAY. ALL OF HER NEW MOMMY FRIENDS WERE NURSING WITHOUT A PROBLEM.
SHE, HOWEVER. HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS.
"I'm not sleeping, I'm frustrated, she's frustrated, my husband's frustrated.. and they're just going great, and it's wonderful and. do you need milk, because I've got plenty."
HER 'PLENTIFUL' GIRLFRIENDS URGED HER TO TRY AN HERBAL SUPPLEMENT CALLED FENUGREEK.
"It upped the milk supply a lot, but by that point it was too late."
NEW MOTHERS OFTEN TURN TO OTHER MOTHERS - INSTEAD OF A DOCTOR - FOR NURSING ADVICE.
THEY OFTEN SUGGEST HOME REMEDIES LIKE TEA LEAVES TO EASE PAIN. MILK THISTLE AND OATMEAL TO INCREASE MILK PRODUCTION.
"Cabbage leaves to dry you up. so stay away from cabbage leaves."
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THEY ROUTINELY TEACH IN MEDICAL SCHOOL, ACCORDING TO DR. JONATHAN SHAFFIR OF THE OHIO STATE WEXNER MEDICAL CENTER.
"I was sort of curious as to where they were getting this information.and whether this was officially known or sort of on the down-low."
DR. SHAFFIR SURVEYED 124 LACTATION CONSULTANTS. MORE THAN HALF HAD RECOMMENDED ONE OF THESE FOLK REMEDIES.
ALTHOUGH NO LARGE STUDIES HAVE BEEN DONE ON THE SAFETY OF NURSING MOMS TAKING HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS, MOST DOCTORS SAY THEY'RE PROBABLY FINE.
"Those things really wouldn't be expected to have any adverse effects, probably aren't all that helpful, but you know, no harm in trying."
ERIN IS SUCCESSFULLY NURSING HER THIRD CHILD NOW. SHE ADVISES OTHER STRUGGLING MOMS TO DRINK A LOT OF WATER. AND GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK.
"You think. have a baby, put him up there and everybody knows what to do and it's not true."
AND REMEMBER -- THE BOTTLE IS ALWAYS THERE FOR BACK-UP.

ERIKA EDWARDS REPORTING.
BEER MAY ALSO STIMULATE MILK SUPPLY. BUT STICK WITH NON-ALCOHOLIC.
ALCOHOL CAN ACTUALLY SLOW MILK PRODUCTION -- NOT TO MENTION EXPOSE THE BABY TO ALCOHOL THROUGH THE BREAST MILK.

Return to index of stories...
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.
Return to index of stories...
Across northern parts of Florida, we're tracking as weak disturbance that will bring more cloud cover and a few showers to areas mostly north of Orlando and the I-4 corridor, so the bulk of this weather system will not have much of an influence on our local weather. We will, however, continue to see the wind flow become more southerly, which means the warmth and moisture keeps building in as we go through the rest of the week.
By Wednesday, humidity will keep creeping up, and temperatures will follow suit as we see daytime highs breaking into the 80s. More clouds will also develop during the day, but sunshine will continue to be our main weather player.
Signs point to the warm and sunny pattern holding into the upcoming weekend and likely into next week, which means most days will feature a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the low 80s and lows in the low to mid 60s.

IT'S ANOTHER METHOD PEOPLE ARE USING TO LOOK YOUNGER WITHOUT GOING UNDER THE KNIFE.
MIKE WILBER EXPLAINS HOW TO GET RESULTS THROUGH SOMETHING CALLED 'FACE YOGA'.
Return to index of stories...
"Everyone's getting lip injections and everyone's getting Botox."
"Collagen and Botox. anything it takes!"
SAY BUH-BYE TO PAINFUL NEEDLES AND KNIVES -- LOOKING YEARS YOUNGER IS AS EASY AS THIS!
IT MAY LOOK A LITTLE STRANGE, BUT FACE YOGA CAN HAVE INSTANT RESULTS!
"The exercises themselves help to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, so you're definitely going to get more tone, firmness and resilience."
ANNELISE HAGEN IS THE AUTHOR OF "THE YOGA FACE" AND IS TAKING US THROUGH MOVES THAT SHE CREATED, LIKE "THE LION FACE."
"You constrict, tighten every single muscle, not just your face, but your hands your buttocks your knees and then you let it go. ahhh. and you feel great. it's like you had a mini face lift."
FORGET THE FILLERS -- THE SATCHMO IS GOOD FOR PLUMPING UP YOUR CHEEKS!
"You're actually just breathing in through your nose and then pushing the air from cheek to cheek. then you blow it out."
NO NOSE JOB NEEDED HERE. TO SCULPT YOUR SNIFFER, DO A CLASSIC YOGA POSE. INHALE THROUGH ONE NOSTRIL, HOLD IT, AND EXHALE OUT THE OTHER SIDE.
"To debag, depuff and dewrinkle you want to look at horizon level, and open your eyes as wide as you possibly can and try to expose the whites of them completely."
THE CROW CROW FLY AWAY GETS RID OF WHAT ELSE, CROW'S FEET!
"It's like you're winking upside down. and then you're going to put your finger there."
BUT DON'T OVER DO IT. ANNELISE RECOMMENDS DOING THREE MOVES IN A ROW, TEN TIMES EACH.
