(By Monica Lynn, the “Fairy Podmother) One of the greatest blessings we enjoy here in Ft Myers Beach is being able to observe dolphin calves in the wild. The back bay of Ft Myers Beach serves as a nursery for diverse wildlife, including manatees, sharks, and, of course, our beloved dolphins.

The Town of Fort Myers Beach Audit Committee was asked to review the town's investment policy and consider changing it. The reason they were being asked to consider the change was because of two audit findings against the town.

At today's M&P Town Council meeting, the Lee County Sheriff's Department will make a presentation and answer council questions about public safety and the possibility of adding a Nuissance Abatement Board, according to the town council agenda.

From 10AM to 2PM kids have an opportunity to practice their reading skills in the company of a friendly dog. You'll need to pre-register for a 15-minute slot on the library Facebook page, at the second floor desk, or by calling 239-765-8162. Masks are required for all except for children under 6.

If not, that's OK, because members of the committee were not even sure if their meeting was legal. Town staff told Audit Committee members the meeting was legal and they did not have to notify the public.

We reached out to Eddie Rood, who's on a mission to build a dune walkover/boardwalk to the beach behind his Estero Boulevard home, despite being denied a special exception from the town. He confirmed he has not yet filed a Quiet Title lawsuit.

According to Lee County Commission Chairman Brian Hammon, for the first time since mid-June, the average number of new Covid-19 cases in Lee County is below 100.

Our 9:30 guest on Beach Talk Radio this Saturday morning will be one of the nicest guys on the planet and an encyclopedia of beach knowledge, former Mayor Dan Hughes.

Early this year members of the town of Fort Myers Beach Town Council started receiving complaints that speed limit signs in the waters around the island were changed and boaters were speeding through areas that were known for Manatee.
