LEE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT www.lee-county.com/healthdept
3920 Michigan Avenue
Fort Myers, Florida 33916
For Immediate Release
Date: 21 September 2006
Contact: Environmental Engineering Dept., (239) 274-2200
BEACH ADVISORY
Health Department Issues Advisories for Three Sanibel Beaches: Blind Pass/Turner Beach, Bowman’s Beach, and Tarpon Bay Park Beach
Tests completed on September 21, 2006, indicate that the beach water quality at Blind Pass/Turner Beach, Bowman’s Beach, and Tarpon Bay Park Beach may not meet the criteria for enterococcus bacteria recommended by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. This indicates that water contact may pose an increased risk of diseases for swimmers and bathers. Test results at South Seas Beach on Captiva Island and Sanibel Lighthouse Beach are satisfactory.
* We recommend not swimming from Turner Beach on Captiva through Gulfside Park Beach on Sanibel, including Blind Pass, Bowman’s Beach, and Tarpon Bay Park Beach. *
Enterococcus bacteria normally inhabit the intestinal tract of humans and animals. The presence of an elevated concentration of enterococcus is an indicator of pollution, which may come from stormwater runoff, pets and wildlife, or sewage. Enterococcus bacteria concentration has been correlated with swimming-associated gastroenteritis illness (diarrhea and abdominal pain).
For perspective, a gastroenteritis illness rate between 2% - 4% is possible with an elevated enterococcus concentration. This means that 2 - 4 swimmers per 100 swimmers might get a gastroenteritis illness. When the enterococcus concentration meets EPA's recommended criteria, the gastroenteritis illness rate is expected to be less than 2%, and is considered acceptable.
This advisory may be a short-term event due to recent heavy rains. New test results should be available by 3:30 PM on Tuesday, September 26, 2006. For more information, please view our internet website at www.doh.state.fl.us and select Beach Water Quality from the pull down menu, or contact the Lee County Health Department, Environmental Engineering at (239) 274-2200.

Fort Myers slapped with $64,500 fine for sewage
DEP says raw sewage was flowing into Caloosahatchee tributary
By Julio Ochoa (Contact)
Saturday, September 23, 2006
The Department of Environmental Protection fined the city of Fort Myers on Friday after it found untreated sewage flowing into Billy's Creek, a tributary of the Caloosahatchee River.
<A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://adsremote.scripps.com/event.ng/Type=click&FlightID=2029871&AdID=2036938&TargetID=2017045&Targets=2022041,2003385,2004956,2006147,2007695,2017045,2017905,2022305&RawValues=&Redirect=http:%2f%2fwww.morangroup.wbsec.com"><IMG SRC="http://images.scripps.com/1x1.gif" WIDTH=150 HEIGHT=350 BORDER=0></A>
The problem, which has been going on since July, according to one resident, affects about 75 homes.
The DEP met with city officials Friday after taking samples of water bubbling up from manholes in the Arlington subdivision near Palm Beach Boulevard in east Fort Myers.
The samples revealed high concentrations of untreated sewage. The city was fined $64,500 for the violation.
The sewage starts overflowing onto the streets and yards of the neighborhood every time heavy rain falls, said Mike Weinacht, a resident of the neighborhood.
"I'm up to my ears in it," he said. "I'm sitting at home with fecal coliform so severe that you wouldn't want to walk in it."
Weinacht believes the sewage in his neighborhood is what is causing beach closures on Sanibel and Captiva islands, but officials from the county health department said that is not likely.
"The spills weren't big enough to make it out to Sanibel Causeway," said Gary Maier, an engineer with the Lee County Health Department. "I don't think the two incidents are related."
The county monitors water quality at several places within the river. Maier said all of those samples were clean.
The DEP also cited the city for violations in its drinking water system, which was not treated to standards, said Jill Johnson, spokeswoman for the DEP.
Albert Abdo, public utilities director for the city of Fort Myers, said his department is working to resolve the issue.
The problem is there is a leak in the sewer system and the city does not know where it is, Abdo said.
When it rains too hard, water gets into the system and it overflows, he said.
"When you get 4 inches of rain in two hours, it's hard for that system to put it out fast enough," Abdo said.
The city hired a consultant to look for leaks in the pipe, but that may take several weeks, he said.
"In the meantime, we're out there doing everything we can to prevent it from happening again," Abdo said.
Weinacht, however, said someone from the city has yet to come out and treat the raw sewage in his front yard.
"I went out to a feed store to buy some lime to clean my ditches out," Weinacht said. "Nobody from the city will call me back."

You are right Ed - they besmirched all of us - all citizens of Marco.
I guess I am used to being thought of as stupid by these folks so it went right over my head.

Hello There:
I was at the Celebrate Marco event last night. I sat near the back, where I estimate 100 people. From these some look like they work for the church. I think I saw some that work for the city (Mr. Moss was there). I also saw Mr. Foster and some friends and Mr. Hall. My Point is in that maybe 50 people were of the Celebrate Marco group. Then my point is that Celebrate Marco are not looking very popular. Maybe I am wrong.

hi anonymous
i too was there at the back - and actually counted heads - 92 in all including the people service the grapes, the church folk.
deducting the city employees, the church functionaries (i hope that the minister is not part of this group) and those on the recall/anti-sewer/pops/free speech folks, i calculate 57 celebrate marco people INCLUDING those that may have gone there just to find out what.
great estimate though!

How can a man get up there and say that the 3 councilors are the most honest people he has known, especially when one of them admitted to be an outright LIAR. I do not know what group he hangs around with and for that matter I don't want to know.

This was not a forum. This was a membership organizational meeting, and true to our word, anyone could become a member. evidenced by Ed Foster and Roger Hill among others becoming members. There were no volunteers from the church there. All present (excluding the priest) were members of Celebrate Marco as the writers must know because they joined as members at the door, only members were admitted (Thanks guys). There were over 100 people there. By the way, all filming seen on these pages was done secretly. We're grateful for the added exposure. Thanks.

Did I hear someone in the audience advocate shooting opponents to the City Council? Listen carefully to the audio and you can actually hear someone say "they should be shot". Now that's the kind of celebrating we can do without.

to the anonymous (ergo SECRET) poster:
1) head count by two people = 92
2) the filming was not done secretly = its impossible to be secret when the camera is held up in plain view for 20 minutes - ask the celebrate marco functionary that was sitting next to the camera and stated "i dont know why you people come here" - nice comment by the way for a group that is suppose to embrace diversity...
4) the only secretive process here are those that write ANONYMOUSly
5) a "membership organizational meeting" does not attack the efforts of the citizens of a community
nice try

byron - that is in fact recorded. and it was heard as reported by at least two that where there.
some were hoping to hear at that meeting how all points of view can be discussed and flushed out. unfortunately, with the "they should be shot" comment, and the "you people" comment and the attack on roger, it appears that the agenda of this group is to celebrate their own views/ideas - period.

CM is gripping we have video of councillors, Trotter, Minnozi and city manager Bill Moss at this meeting. A meeting which someone was cheered when they shouted "shoot them all"(refering to those that oppose the city). This group asked for donations and talked openly about their hatred for the people on their 'HIT LIST'
The Hit List was part of the materials handed out to CM's members, it named people associated with being against the city. The city of Marco has now fumbled away the safety and security of those on this list.

I take issue with the Celebrate Marco group that blame the civic groups that
have organized to get their voices heard. Let me explain. City officials
allowed Quality Enterprises to crush asbestos on So. Collier Blvd.and our
Veterans Park property. Now the city is caught and the city hauls these
materials off Island at taxpayers expense. YES, the taxpayers paid for the
first removals of this toxic material. Celebrate Marco should NOT blame the
citizens for the tax money spent for this but they should blame the city for
allowing this to be done in the first place. A lawsuit was filed because of
this action by our city officials by our civic minded citizens. Mr. Moss
said in a newspaper article that the materials crushed were fiberglass
pipes. No, this is not true or acceptable from our city manager. Are the
people who were exposed outraged, yes. Having this staging area near the
McDonald's playground is deplorable. Anyone who accepts this action is not
looking out for the best interest of Marco's citizens. The citizens are
seeking a recall because they are sick and tired of not being heard by our
city manager, our city's attorney or by certain Council members.
If anyone has pictures of the crusher on So. Collier Blvd. or on the
Veterans Park, please send them to any group you feel can use them.
