<P>"I can't see that being true, I can't, I just cant' see that, no. Like I said, that's not the Ralphie I know." Lisa Kuecker, neighbor
<P>LISA KUECKER HAS KNOWN RALPH EUCHAS FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS.
<P>SHE SAY'S THE PORT CHARLOTTE MAN A NICE LAID BACK GUY WHO'S NEVER BEEN IN TROUBLE.
<P>"I've seen him help people he didn't even konw." Lisa Kuecker, neighbor
<P>THE SARASOTA COUNTY SHERIFF SAYS EUCHAS RESPONDED TO AN ONLINE AD THINKING HE WAS MEETING THREE 15-YEAR-OLD BOYS FOR SEX LAST WEEK.
<P>HARD FOR HIS FRIEND TO BELIEVE.
<P>"If I know Ralphie, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. From what you had said to me, that's not in his characteristics at all." Lisa Kuecker, neighbor
<P>DURING THE WEEK-LONG ONLINE STING DUBBED OPERATION INTERCEPT TWO, THE SHERIFFS OFFICE POSED AS YOUNG CHILDREN AND ADULT MEN SOUGHT THEM OUT FOR SEX.
<P>THE MEN WERE ARRESTED AS SOON AS THEY SHOWED UP.
<P>"I feel confident these individuals have done this before and haven't been caught. We didn't ask anyone to meet us, they contacted us. There is no entrapment here." Sheriff Tom Knight, Sarasota County
<P>LAW ENFORCEMENT SAYS THE SUSPECTS COME FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE AND PREY ON CHILDREN BECAUSE IT CAN BE EASY TO EARN THEIR TRUST.
<P>"they have a very insidious way to gain confidence to create a sense of intimacy and a sense of trust. And it's very challenging for parents to counter that." John Burke, FDLE.
<P>ROBERT BLACKBURN FROM FORT MYERS WAS ALSO ARRESTED.
<P>HE BROUGHT BEER AND A SEX KIT THINKING HE WAS MEETING A 14-YEAR-OLD GIRL.
<P>FORMER NEIGHBORS TELL US OFF CAMERA HE WAS A VIOLENT MAN.
<P>THE SUSPECTS FACE UP TO 20 YEARS IN PRISON IF CONVICTED.
<P>THE SHERIFF SAYS HE'LL CONTINUE THESE STINGS AS LONG AS THESE PEOPLE ARE STILL OUT THERE

<P>DESPITE THE CHAOS- STUDENTS KNOW DEPUTY JAMIE STEFFEL IS NEARBY
<P>nats hi whats going on
<P>18:42 they're always there behind the scenes, they're doing the job of an administrator, of a resource officer, they're there to talk to you like a guidance counselor 49
<P>SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS LIKE STEFFEL WORK WITH ADMINISTRATION TO KEEP CHILDREN SAFE.
<P>15:20 stuff goes down sometimes and if there's no body here to stop it. hey 25
<P>32:57 public safety is the priority but you wouldn't do anything else if we just sat here waiting or something to happen 03  
<P>SO HE'S ON THE MOVE.
<P>36:10 the majority of our day is spent building those relationships, answering questions, and being a resource and an asset to the school, to the children and to their families 19
<P>THAT TRUST- DOESN'T ALWAYS COME EASY.
<P>8:26 I'm more interested in getting them out of trouble and keeping them out of trouble than I am busting them or looking over their shoulder and trying to catch them with everything they do 34
<P>ONCE IT'S BUILT- KIDS COME FORWARD WITH ALL TYPES OF CONCERNS. 
<P>30:11 there was a girl who had an issue with somebody vandalizing her car in the parking  lot this morning,  other people have issues that get into serious things like sexual assaults that happen off campus or a few years ago that they're still trying to deal with 26
<P>AN SRO HELPED JASIL HALL TACKLE BULLYING.
<P>23: 30 classes were switched and people were talked to and it was done immediately so it was very helpful 34
<P>SO HELPFUL,
<P>SHE AND OTHER STUDENTS HOPE FOR MORE. 
<P>19:57 I really wish that more schools would utilize these type of resources, it really helps to have someone on campus who's there for our safety who's there to watch out for you 08

<P>The weather patter still looks good for us tomorrow. I expect mostly clear weather this evening and, once again, tomorrow morning will likely be foggy in some places to start the day. Fog this morning reduced visibility in many areas and there could be a repeat performance tomorrow morning. Temperatures this evening will fall through the 60's and land about 59/60 to start the day on Thursday. The weak front I mentioned yesterday has washed out over the center part of the state and we won't be seeing any cool weather move down here. Tomorrow's highs will be the in mid 80's and beach temperatures will be in the upper 70's. Winds off the cool Gulf of Mexico water will keep beaches a few points "cooler" than inland areas. 
<P>Looking ahead to the weekend it appears than another weak front will move into the northern part of our state and we remain on the warm side of this next weather system. Some computer guidance tries to pop up a few showers on Sunday afternoon, but I think it will be mainly dry for our area this weekend. Humidity will continue to come up a bit each day through Sunday as we top out around 84 degrees. 
<P>For forward planning - the long-range forecasts predict a pattern change for us by the middle of next week. We will start to see more showers moving in and some cooler temperatures are predicted by the first weekend in March.
