When I think back about my early years in Naples, one of the people I admired and enjoyed the most was Bernie Yokel, who served the Conservancy so well for so many years. He lived, for many years, in one of the Conservancy’s old houses along Shell Island Road on the south fringe of Rookery […]
When I think back about Mrs. Sherwin, tears come to my eyes, but they are warm tears. In the old days around Cutlass Cove, at the very south end of Port Royal, in Naples, Florida, she was a loving friend to all of us. She was also a mentor and a role model. She would […]
May 22 was the last evening of sampling for the month. In Fakahatchee Bay, Pat O’Donnell, a fish biologist at Rookery Bay Research Reserve, and his team of volunteers caught only one shark, but that small newborn bull shark was the one he was hoping to find.

Walking your dog can help deputies take a bite out of crime. That’s the message behind the Collier County Sheriff’s Office’s newest safety campaign called Paws on Patrol.

Balance is something many take for granted. It entails the coordination of many systems within our body. Flexibility, extensibility, and strength of muscles work with the joint and its components to be able to adapt to its surroundings. These systems also coordinate with the nervous system. There are receptors in joints and muscles that help create the proper tension in muscles and allow the body to know where […]

In a continued artistic effort to bring free and accessible Shakespeare to the Naples community, The Naples Players, celebrating their 65th theatre season, present The Bard’s magical comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream outside on their Baker […]
March is literally packed with opportunities to enjoy the arts in all of its many forms – so as Bette Davis said : “Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night”. The first extraordinary opportunity that I would like to highlight is on March 14 – The Scharoun Ensemble from the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra will be making a stop in […]
I remain focused on bringing down the cost of prescription drugs for Florida’s seniors and am acting on three key issues: First, our seniors have subsidized low cost prescription drugs in foreign countries for years, an abuse that needs to stop.
