Few things go together better than music and nature, especially when
the venue overlooks one of the most beautiful sunsets anywhere on earth.
The new season of the “Songwriters at Sunset” series begins at the
Lovers Key State Park beach gazebo on Thursday, December 7, at 4 p.m.
The acoustic concerts, featuring all original music, continue the first
Thursday of each month through April, and are a joint collaboration
between the Friends of Lovers Key State Park (FOLKS) and the American
Community Music Association (ACMA). Opening evening performers are Hank
Woji, Eileen Kozloff and “The Reckless Saints,” composed of Roy
Schneider and Kim Mayfield. The “Songwriters at Sunset” series is the brainchild of the dynamic
couple of Bob and Shelley-Sue Williams, as Bob is the ACMA president and
Shelley-Sue the FOLKS Director of Communications/Media Committee Chair. FULL STORY
Recovery efforts from Hurricane Irma continue all over the State of
Florida, including a high profile project right in the middle of one of
the most heavily-used tourism areas on Fort Myers Beach. “The back side
of Irma came in high enough that it produced waves that hit Crescent
Beach Family Park,” said Steve Boutelle, Marine Operations Manager for
the Natural Resources Division for Lee County. “Waves rammed up against
the old seawall there and reflected off of it to pull sand away from the
beach. Without the sand there, at the high tide, the reduction to the
recreation value to the park is pretty dramatic.” Because of the emergency nature of the Crescent Beach situation, Lee
County Commissioners waived their normal solicitation procedure to
obtain goods or services over $100,000. “We still needed to go through
the formalized process of securing at least three competitive bids,” he
said, “but this removed some of the formalities to make everything move
quicker, before the situation grew worse and required more funds for
repairs. The Commissioners set a $200,000 ceiling as a safe number, but
we expected the competitive bid process to truck in compatible beach
sand to restore the area to its condition prior to the hurricane to be
well under that figure. Fortunately, we had three bidders, with Eastman
Aggregate Enterprises of Lake Worth getting the contract at $105,300.
They will truck in the replacement sand from the Stewart Mine in
Immokalee. Funding comes from the Tourist Development Council (TDC) Tax,
from monies Lee County sets aside annually in anticipation of such
projects.” FULL STORY
