VICKI WINTERS
From The Desk Of Sheriff Carmine
SEXTORTION AND OUR CHILDREN
It often begins in a friendly manner. Your child/teen meets someone online and the conversation begins. The meeting can occur in a messaging platform, through online video games, a text … virtually anywhere.
The child believes that she/he is communicating with a peer, perhaps someone interested in developing a relationship, and begins to develop a bond with this individual.
To many adults, the concept of “bonding” or establishing a relationship with a person that we have never met, and have only exchanged text with, is nearly inconceivable. To a child or a teen, it is commonplace.
Law enforcement, across the nation, has seen a significant increase in cases of “sextortion;” a crime in which individuals convince children to send inappropriate, explicit photos and then threaten to post them on social media sites, email them to family members, share with classmates, etc.
These criminals demand money, sexual favors and/or additional sexually inappropriate videos/photos.
In addition to threats to share these sensitive photos, these criminals have indicated that
they know where the victim resides, where family members work, what school they attend … and threaten harm.
Imagine the fear experienced by a young child or teenager caught in this position.
They feel unable to approach their parents or guardians having shared inappropriate photos. They are horrified to think about classmates seeing these explicit pictures. They are fearful that harm will come to them, to family members, pets, loved ones, etc.
As a result, they believe that fulfilling the demands made upon them is their only option. The demands are horrific.
It is highly recommended that parents and guardians discuss this crime with their children as soon as possible. Victims can be virtually any age; waiting until they’re “older” might not be prudent.
In reality, this is a technologically advanced version of the “don’t talk to strangers” conversation that we have all received as children.
“I recently read a story about a child who mistakenly sent inappropriate pictures to someone online. It must have been awful for that child.”
Carmine Marceno...
“Hey, has anyone that you know ever sent an embarrassing picture to someone only to have it shared at school?”
While the conversation is indeed a difficult one, find a way to open the door to this discussion. Ask your child if they realize how sharing sexually explicit material online can lead to a serious predicament. Ask them if they can imagine how another individual could use that photo/video to harm them.
Assure them that should they know of “anyone” in such a dilemma, they should always feel comfortable sharing that information with you. Children need to understand that they are not alone and that you are there to help.
Parents should immediately reach out to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (800-CALLFBI) when learning about incidents involving sextortion.
Continental Women’s Club
The Continental Women’s Club will hold its monthly luncheon meeting on Thursday, August 7 at 11:30 a.m. Our program will feature Miriam Ortiz, the founder of the Gladiolus Food Pantry, located in Harlem Heights. The mission of the Gladiolus Food Pantry is to reduce hunger by providing healthy, nutritious food while treating everyone with dignity and respect. In 2024 the pantry provided 8,263 households with over 1,000,000 pounds of food.
The meetings are being held at The Hideaway Country Club, 5670 Trailwinds Drive, Fort Myers 33907. The cost to attend the luncheon is $26. Please call Liz
Mailbox Maintenance And Repair
Paul at (239) 691-7561 by the deadline of Tuesday, July 22 for meal selection and to make a reservation.
Continental Women’s Club is a social, cultural, and philanthropic organization established in 1975, with membership open to women living in Lee County. We have many special events and interest groups within our club that you can participate in for social and educational purposes throughout the month and the year. In addition, we contribute to many local charities and award two scholarships each year to senior high school girls who plan on furthering their education.
For mailbox and lamppost repairs, please contact Tim Townsend, (740) 403-0983 or email timtownsend72@yahoo.com. Mailbox doors have a closure spring that eventually breaks after thousands of openings. It is important to replace them as soon as they are discovered as they usually result in a broken door, which is a much more expensive repair. The cost of repairing/replacing the various parts for mailboxes & lampposts is as follows:
• Mailbox spring repair is $40.
• If the mailbox door casting breaks the cost to replace the door is $179.
• Mailbox and lamp post can be repainted for $70 for both.
The Transformative Benefits of Consistent Massage Therapy
WHY ROUTINE BODYWORK IS MORE THAN A LUXURY—IT’S A LIFESTYLE
In today’s high-stress, always-on world, many of us are seeking effective, sustainable ways to care for our bodies and minds. While the occasional massage may offer momentary relief, consistent massage therapy brings long-lasting, transformative benefits. Here’s how incorporating massage into your regular wellness routine can make a powerful difference:
�� 1. Chronic Pain Relief & Management
Regular massage therapy can ease conditions like back pain, arthritis, sciatica, and fibromyalgia. Techniques such as deep tissue and trigger point massage help reduce inflammation, loosen tight muscles, and improve mobility—offering a natural, non-invasive solution for pain.
�� 2. Improved Circulation & Detoxification
Massage stimulates blood flow and encourages lymphatic drainage, which helps deliver nutrients more efficiently and remove metabolic waste. This not only speeds recovery from injury but also supports your immune and cardiovascular systems.
�� 3. Stress & Anxiety Reduction
Massage significantly reduces cortisol levels (the stress hormone) while increasing feel-good neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. Over time, this leads to a more balanced mood and greater emotional resilience.
쏘♂ 4. Enhanced Flexibility & Range of Motion
By reducing tension and increasing joint fluidity, massage can boost flexibility and help prevent injuries. Whether you’re an athlete or simply want to stay mobile, regular bodywork keeps you limber and strong.
�� 5. Better Sleep Quality
Struggling with sleep? Massage helps shift the body into a parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) state, promoting deeper, more restorative sleep. It’s especially helpful for those suffering from insomnia or sleep disturbances related to pain or stress.
�� 6. A Stronger Immune System
Reduced stress levels and improved lymphatic function mean your immune system can do its job more effectively. Consistent massage supports the body’s natural defense mechanisms—especially important during cold and flu season.
�� 7. Sharper Focus & Mental Clarity
Better sleep, reduced anxiety, and improved circulation all contribute to improved cognitive function. Regular massage helps you feel more grounded, focused, and ready to tackle your day with a clear mind.
�� Make It a Habit, Not a Treat
True wellness comes with consistency. Whether it’s weekly, biweekly, or monthly, setting up a regular massage schedule helps your body and mind adapt and improve over time. Thankfully, there are businesses out there like Massage Envy that make your new routine both convenient and affordable! Massage therapy is not just about relaxation—it’s about restoration, resilience, and long-term health. Take the time to care for yourself consistently, and your body will thank you for years to come.

Catch The Action
CAPT. BILL RUSSELL
JULY ON THE WATER
As we progress into the heat of summer, fishing both inshore and offshore can still be good, just prepare for hot days and keep an eye on the weather. Many anglers prefer to get an early start and off the water ahead of the midday heat and afternoon storms.
Inshore, the mangrove snapper bite will continue to heat up. A variety of baits including shrimp, pilchards, herring, small pinfish, and cut bait will entice fish around docks, piers, bridges, under deeper mangrove shorelines, oyster bars, sand potholes, and rock ledges in and near the passes. Mangrove snapper is one of our tastier fish and fights hard for their size. They make a great summer target. They are leader and hook shy, if the water is clear, it’s often necessary to lighten the tackle. Inshore, I go with 2 feet or more of 12- to 20-pound fluorocarbon leader and a 1/0 circle hook or smaller.
The best snook and redfish action will come on days with strong tides. They can often be caught together around docks, shorelines, and structure around the gulf passes, as well as oyster bars and shoreline overhangs on the higher tides. Season for spotted sea trout and redfish is open, while snook season is closed. As the water warms over summer months, some of the better action for trout
will come from 4- to 8-foot depths in areas with a grassy or sand/grass mottled bottom.
Calm summer mornings will give good opportunities to run offshore. To the best of my knowledge, American red snapper season is open for the month of July for those willing to make the long run offshore. Please don’t take my word and check regulations before venturing out. It looks like both red and gag grouper seasons are closed.
To get updated on grouper, snapper, redfish, snook, sea trout and all current fishing regulations go to www.myfwc.com . Or download the Fish Rules app onto your phone.
Closer to land, wrecks and reefs can be productive with everything from snapper to barracuda to giant goliath grouper. Anchoring up current of structure with a fresh chum bag is preferred. A variety of baits is a good idea as well as an arsenal of rods rigged and ready for light to heavy action.
For fun and fast action offshore, look for bonito and Spanish mackerel harassing bait schools in depths from 30 to 80 feet. Silver spoons or Tuna Jets in various colors can bring instant hookups when trolled around feeding activity. Watch for birds and surface commotion to locate the fish. Also look
around the artificial reefs. Spanish mackerel are also plentiful around the gulf passes and inshore around schooling baitfish.
Sharks are another summertime favorite. Varieties of species both large and small are common catches both inshore and off.
(continued on page 14)
While they are a nuisance for some, many anglers target them for their fighting ability. Sharks play an important role in our ecosystem; please make every effort to quickly release them unharmed. Every kid loves to catch a shark of any size, now is a good time, just make sure and do it safely for both the angler and the shark.
For charter information, please contact us at Gulf Coast Guide Service and “Catch the Action” with Capt. Bill Russell, call or text (239) 410-8576, website: www.fishpineisland.com, email: gcl2fish@ live.com.
Capt. Bill Russell is a native and lifelong resident of Pine Island who has spent his entire life fishing the waters surrounding Pine Island and Southwest Florida. For the past 29 years, Bill has been a professional fishing guide who takes pride in customizing each trip to ensure everyone on board has a great time and will return again. Come join us and “Catch the Action.”
REMINDER
Please do not leave trash containers, ladders, etc., where they are visible from the street.
Also do not place containers or yard waste out to the curb more than 24 hours before the scheduled weekly pickups.
Montage Women’s Club
The Montage Women’s Club is a social and philanthropic club open to all women residing in Lee County. We normally meet on the fourth Thursday of each month. Our April meeting took place at the Hilton Garden Inn (Captiva Ballroom), 12600 University Drive, Fort Myers, corner of College Parkway at the Summerlin Road overpass. Meetings begin at 11:30 a.m. with a short social period followed by lunch at noon followed by an informative speaker program and a short business meeting. Within the organization are various interest groups for members’ participation. Membership is open to both year-round and seasonal residents. We welcome you to visit Montage for a luncheon.
Our next meeting will be held on Thursday, July 24. Our speaker will be Mike Corradino. who operated the Florida Monkey Sanctuary for 20 years where he and his staff cared for over 600 monkeys from 67 different species with as many as 160 animals at one time. In addition to being the country’s first “official” monkey catcher, Mike served as the official gorilla consultant for Ringling Brothers Circus in 1968. Many zoos have adopted his techniques as well as having had published articles in several scientific journals. Mike was set to speak to our group in April, but due to unforeseen circumstances had to reschedule to July.
Luncheon fee will be $30 per person, and you always have a choice of either a regular menu entree (July is chicken marsala with mashed potato and vegetable) and/or a vegan plant-based entree (July is roasted cauliflower tacos with rice).

Lee Health Expands Plans To Meet Growing Community
In response to the rapid population growth and sustained demand for high-quality healthcare in Southwest Florida, Lee Health is expanding its plans for its new Fort Myers medical campus. Lee Health approved an additional $150.5 million investment to enhance the upcoming facility, including a new patient tower and an onsite childcare center.
The expansion will increase the hospital’s capacity by 92 beds, including 48 acute care beds, 20 skilled nursing unit beds, and shelled space for an additional 24 acute care beds. This addition ensures the new Lee Health Fort Myers campus will support the growth of the community, where it serves as the healthcare system of choice for residents and visitors.
“Lee Health is growing alongside our community,” said Dr. Larry Antonucci, president and CEO of Lee Health.
“With this additional investment, we are reaffirming our commitment to being Southwest Florida’s leading healthcare provider by ensuring we have the infrastructure, technology, and compassionate care teams in place to meet the increasing healthcare needs of our residents and visitors. This health
campus offers a centralized location for wellness in our community.”
The $820 million capital investment also includes the development of an on-site child development center. The new facility will relocate the existing Lee Memorial Child Development Center to the new campus, providing a vital resource for Lee Health team members and reinforcing the system’s dedication to supporting its workforce.
The campus is located at the intersection of Colonial and Jones-Walker Boulevards, spanning 53 acres. Lee Health Fort Myers campus will be constructed in phases and is expected to open in early 2028. The plans now include:
• A hospital with a capacity of up to 260 beds, 236 beds completed at opening
• A medical office building, home of the Lee Health Musculoskeletal Institute
• 18 operating rooms, a 44-bed emergency department, and up to 24 ICU beds
• An onsite child development center for team members
Plans For New Fort Myers Campus Community Needs
As one of the fastest-growing regions in the nation, Lee County’s healthcare needs are evolving rapidly. Lee Health’s expanded plans demonstrate its commitment to remaining the trusted healthcare leader in the region. The new campus will offer increased access, toptier care, and modern amenities to meet the demands of future generations.
About Lee Health

5. Cover and cook 8 to 10 hours on low or 6 hours on high.

• You can add the barbecue sauce after it’s on the buns instead, so leftovers may be used for other things.
• For tacos or nachos you can use peppers (fresh or jarred) and no barbecue sauce. (Add cumin or packaged taco/fajita seasoning.)

3. Mix all vegetables, except avocado, in a large bowl.
4. In a separate bowl or cruet make dressing mix according to package directions, substituting the regular vinegar with balsamic vinegar.
5. Pour the dressing over the chopped vegetables and toss lightly.
6. Add the avocado and incorporate gently as not to smash it.
7. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.
8. Gently toss again before serving.

THIS HURRICANE SEASON, PREPARE TO AVOID THE SCAMS
Weather forecasters are predicting an above-average hurricane season this year. When it comes to planning for a possible weather emergency, the more you know— and the earlier you know it—the better prepared you’ll be to avoid weather-related scams and fraud.
Kick-start your to do list so you’re ready for whatever hurricanes or other big storms the summer throws at us—all while avoiding scams. Here are some steps to start with.
• Check your insurance policy to make sure it’s current. Find out what’s covered—and what isn’t.
• Do a household inventory. Make a list of your physical possessions and document them with photos or a video.
• Keep key documents safe, but accessible. Use a lockable fireproof box to gather important documents, so they’re ready to go if you have to leave quickly. Include things like your household inventory list, Social Security and health insurance cards, copies of deeds, titles, wills, passports, birth and marriage certificates.
Include some cash, since ATMs or banks may be closed, and an extra set of keys for your house and car.
• Check out home repair contractors before you need one. Ask people you know and trust for recommendations. Then search online for the company’s name with words like “scam” or “complaint.” Confirm the contractor has the required licenses and that they’re insured. Then add their contacts in your phone or lock box. And, while you’re at it, save DisasterAssistance.gov to help you find local help in a disaster.
• Stay in the know. Bookmark ftc.gov/ WeatherEmergencies so you always know how to avoid a scam while you prepare for or recover from a weather emergency. You’ll find ways to help you spot, avoid, and report scams as you prepare for, deal with, and recover from extreme weather and natural disasters.
