Fireworks Show Will Go On!
Red, white, boom! Rest assured, everyone, there will be fireworks on Fort Myers Beach on the Fourth of July. Energized by an increasing fundraising effort on the part of the community, the Town Council decided on Monday to make up for the shortfall. "I can't promise I'll say yes next year, but if you guys continue to work hard to try and pay for it, we'll help out,” Councilwoman Rexann Hosafros said on Monday. "I still think you should continue to look for business sponsorship, however.”  CLICK HERE TO READ MORE
 

Controversial Dock Being Reconfigured Channel Dock
 Late last month, a stop-work order was issued for a controversial 100-foot dock that was under construction at 301 Palermo Circle. The order was issued after Council asked Town staff to investigate complaints by some of the neighbors and it was discovered that the drawings submitted by the applicant in order to receive the permit were inaccurate. This week, Principal Planner Matt Noble told us that the Town and applicant are working to come up with a dock configuration that will keep it out of the navigable channel. This week we asked him and Public Works Director Scott Baker explain where the channels are in the back bay and who is responsible for maintaining them. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE

FORT MYERS BEACH NEWS & ENTERTAINMENT

 
TOP NEWS
 
 Lake O Water Flows into Caloosahatchee With the rainy season fast approaching, this week, we decided to ask those in charge 
of managing Lake Okeechobee water releases into the Caloosahatchee River 
what might happen as the summertime nutrient-laden fresh water releases begin anew. Last week, the Army Corps of Engineers announced that they would 
increase flows from the lake due to increased rainfall and rising water levels, 
so we spoke with Public Affairs Specialist John H. Campbell of the Tallahassee 
office to see what predictions they think may be in store for us in the coming months.

First Turtle Nest of Season on Fort Myers Beach
As readers pick up their Sand Paper on Friday morning, another month will have 
begun and with it the beginning of another season - Turtle Season. From May 1st to October 31st, our island will be visited by (hopefully) hundreds of gentle denizens 
from the deep, who will crawl onto our emerald shores to lay their eggs - thus 
beginning another cycle in the glorious circle of life. Little did we know that the 
turtles have beaten us to the punch - the first recorded nest of 2015 was dug on 
Fort Myers Beach on April 24th, and since then two more have appeared on 
Sanibel Island and on a Collier County beach. To Turtle Time founder 
Eve Haverfield, that’s some very good news.
