Precision is vital in any field. In accounting, for example, precision helps balance the budget. In engineering, precise calculations ensure safety and efficiency. In culinary arts, precisely following a recipe guarantees quality control and consistent taste. In radiation oncology, technological advancements focused on precision are redefining expectations for cancer patients while improving outcomes. Radiation therapy uses targeted doses of radiation […] The post Better technology is minimizing the side effects of radiation first appeared on Bonita Springs Florida Weekly.

From ‘Mitten’ to Sunshine State
Robert D’Amore does not live in Michigan, but he has been a customer of Lake Michigan Credit Union for eight years. He chose the financial institution because there is a convenient branch near his home in Naples. He stayed because of the customer service. “It’s a little bit of a throwback to the old days, where they care about you […] The post From ‘Mitten’ to Sunshine State first appeared on Bonita Springs Florida Weekly.
Defying the odds
Aline Caine-Campbell is a testament to the power of resilience and dedication. The 35-year-old defied the odds with the many obstacles of being a teenage mother, an immigrant and both the loss of her home and loved one by becoming a first-generation college graduate. On Friday, July 12, she walked the stage and accepted her associate degree in nursing at […] The post Defying the odds first appeared on Bonita Springs Florida Weekly.
Futbol is ‘the beautiful game’ that’s not always pretty but fun to watch
The final goals have been kicked (or headed) and the Euro2024 and Copa America 2024 tournaments are now history. Those tournaments, run-ups to the Paris Olympics, remind us why soccer is such a great game. We call it soccer, while the rest of the world calls it football, but by any name it’s a terrific sport to play and an […] The post Futbol is ‘the beautiful game’ that’s not always pretty but fun to watch first appeared on Bonita Springs Florida Weekly.
We’ve been doing birthdays wrong — so Happy Birthday, Mom!
According to the March of Dimes, which should be the march of many dollars these days, women in the Sunshine State, no doubt delighted by the promise of long and happy lives for somebody, gave birth to 224,433 babies 2 years ago, in 2022, and probably a few more than that last year. In the United States as a whole, […] The post We’ve been doing birthdays wrong — so Happy Birthday, Mom! first appeared on Bonita Springs Florida Weekly.
By day, finance experts – by night, python hunters
All those old-timers were right: You can’t judge a book by its cover. That rather overused bromide becomes a startling new truth in a couple of moneymen, Geoff Roepstorff and Tom Uhler. Both Sanibel residents, when they get up in the morning, Roepstorff is CEO of Edison National Bank with its Bank of the Islands offices, and Uhler is a […] The post By day, finance experts – by night, python hunters first appeared on Bonita Springs Florida Weekly.
A scaly challenge like none other
Novice and professional snake hunters will soon muster their resolve and trek intrepidly, or perhaps with trepidation, into the wilds of Florida to seek a slithery predator that eats everything in its path.

Registration is open now through the first day […] The post A scaly challenge like none other first appeared on Bonita Springs Florida Weekly.
Art As An Economic Engine
More than ever, it seems, community arts across Florida’s diverse demographic and geographic landscape are thriving. That might not be news except for this single salient fact: State funds providing support to nonprofit arts organizations that enrich their towns and counties both culturally and economically were cut from the state’s final budget this year, for the first time since 1969. […] The post Art As An Economic Engine first appeared on Bonita Springs Florida Weekly.
Unleash the Beast
Get ready for a wild ride. Professional bull riding is officially saddling up in Florida.

Level Up Your Weekend At SWFL Anime-Fest
On Sunday, August 11, the Double- Tree by Hilton in Fort Myers will be crawling with Naruto, Jujutsu Kaisen, Public Safety Devil Hunters, Sailor Moon and Nobara Kugisaki (to name a few) as the SWFL Anime-Fest comes to town.

Mindful Minute
As the temperature rises, it’s not just our bodies that feel the heat; our minds do, too. Heat can significantly affect overall mental health and put people with pre-existing conditions in crisis, leading to increased stress, anxiety and cognitive impairment. While not as widely known as physical symptoms, research has consistently found that high temperatures contribute to and exacerbate mental […] The post Mindful Minute first appeared on Bonita Springs Florida Weekly.
Beyond ABCs and 123s
Early learning is about so much more than teaching students their ABCs and 123s. It’s about giving children a strong foundation to start their lives and set them on a path to success. Florida’s School Readiness and Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) programs are key to this jump start, especially for students from low-income families. This, in turn, helps to create a […] The post Beyond ABCs and 123s first appeared on Bonita Springs Florida Weekly.

Christ Child Society of Naples serves the underserved children in Collier County
I had heard the name “Christ Child Society” over the years but knew nothing about it. Then a friend, Becky Newell, suggested I write about the society. Always trusting Becky’s advice, I pursued the topic and set off to learn about Christ Child Society. I’m glad I did. Nationally, the history goes back to 1885 in Washington, D.C., with the […] The post Christ Child Society of Naples serves the underserved children in Collier County first appeared on Bonita Springs Florida Weekly.
Trends Everywhere One Looks These Days
This is the year of trends. Globally, nationally, even reaching down into Southwest Florida, we’re bombarded with reports of changes. Trends abound in both political parties, along with huge differences between candidates and their views about what’s right for America. The trends are real and some are deeply troubling. There are others as well, a plethora of them – global […] The post Trends Everywhere One Looks These Days first appeared on Bonita Springs Florida Weekly.
Nothin’ But A Hound Dog
Let me now give you cause for dismay, but also cause for hope. Most of us, the lucky ones, are going to get old. And before we get old, our parents, the lucky ones, are going to get old too, if they haven’t already. Some kind of luck. Seven out of 10 oldies will ultimately require assisted care, statistics show, […] The post Nothin’ But A Hound Dog first appeared on Bonita Springs Florida Weekly.
Million Dollar Listing Sanibel
Lee County is moving up in the world – way up, in terms of one unique home for sale on Sanibel Island. The home is spectacular – and so is the asking price when you consider other residences sold previously in Lee County. The 11,000-square foot home at 6111 Sanibel-Captiva Road on the Gulf of Mexico is listed at $44,880,000. […] The post Million Dollar Listing Sanibel first appeared on Bonita Springs Florida Weekly.
2024 Pet Lovers Issue
There isn’t a blood relation. Nor a marriage certificate to make things official. In fact, we’re not even from the same biological species. But it’s quite true that the animals we hold near and dear to our hearts and bring into our homes to live with us rapidly become another valued member of the family. And whether that animal roams […] The post 2024 Pet Lovers Issue first appeared on Bonita Springs Florida Weekly.
