From his Dove Award-winning gospel albums to his genre-defining Southern rock anthems and his CMA Award-winning country hits, few artists have left a more indelible mark on America’s musical landscape than Charlie Daniels. An outspoken patriot, beloved mentor to young artists and still a road warrior at age 82, Daniels has parlayed his passion for music into a multi-platinum career and a platform to support the military, underprivileged children and others in need.
The Charlie Daniels Band has populated radio with such memorable and timeless hits as “Long Haired Country Boy,” “The South’s Gonna Do It Again,” “In America,” “The Legend of Wooley Swamp” and of course, his signature song, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” which won a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group in 1979 as well as single of the year at the Country Music Association Awards.
Over the course of his career, Daniels has received numerous accolades, including his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame (2016), the Musicians Hall of Fame and becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry. He was presented the Pioneer Award by the Academy of Country Music and was honored as a BMI Icon in recognition of his songwriting. He also received a star on the Music City Walk of Fame.
Formed in Tampa in 1972, The Outlaws – known for their triple-guitar rock attack and three-part country harmonies – became one of the first acts signed by Clive Davis (at the urging of Ronnie Van Zant) to his then-fledgling Arista Records. The band’s first three albums “The Outlaws,” “Lady In Waiting” and “Hurry Sundown,” feature such rock radio favorites as “There Goes Another Love Song,” “Green Grass & High Tides,” “Knoxville Girl” and “Freeborn Man.” The albums would become worldwide gold and platinum landmarks of the Southern Rock era. Other hits for The Outlaws include “Riders In The Sky,”  “Song For You,” and “Hurry Sundown.” Known as “The Florida Guitar Army” by their fans, The Outlaws earned a formidable reputation as an incendiary live act touring with friends The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Marshall Tucker Band and The Charlie Daniels Band as well as The Doobie Brothers, The Who, Eagles and The Rolling Stones.
Now The Outlaws return with new music, new focus and an uncompromising new mission: It’s about a band of brothers bound together by history, harmony and the road. It’s about a group that respects its own legacy while refusing to be defined by its past. “It’s About Pride” is the new album from The Outlaws, a record four years in the making and perhaps 20 or more in the waiting.

FORT MYERS, Fla. (Sept. 18, 2019) – Start with two of the premier high school basketball programs in the country, add in mega talent destined for college and NBA greatness and the 47^th annual Culligan City of Palms Classic exceeds even its expectations as the nation’s top high school basketball tournament.
IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) and Monteverde Academy (Montverde, Fla.), the No. 1 and No. 2 teams according to USA TODAY, heading into the 2019-20 season, headline a lineup of 16 teams in the main draw for the tournament set for Dec. 18-23 at 3,500-seat Suncoast Credit Union Arena on the campus of Florida SouthWestern State College.
IMG makes a return trip to the holiday event after reaching the quarterfinals a year ago, while Montverde is back in the elite field after a two-year absence. Both are loaded with talent, with IMG featuring Duke commit Jalen Johnson, ranked No. 4 in ESPN’s top 100 class, and Montverde’s Cade Cunningham, the No. 2 ranked player who has yet to commit to a college but is also in the discussion as the top pick in next year’s NBA draft.
Besides IMG and Montverde, the main draw is loaded with top-shelf talent, including hometown Fort Myers, Whitney Young (Chicago, Ill.), Briarcrest Christian (Memphis, Tenn.), Scotlandville (Baton Rouge, La.), Sanford (Hockessin, Del.), Vashon (St. Louis, Mo.), Gonzaga Prep (Washington, DC), O’Dea (Seattle, Wash.), Roman Catholic (Philadelphia, Penn.), Riverview (Sarasota, Fla.), Archbishop Stepinac (White Plains, NY), Marshall County (Benton, Ky.) and Ely (Pompano Beach, Fla.).
This tournament is always the crystal ball to greatness when it comes to what fans will be seeing at college and NBA levels, but all eyes will assuredly be on Johnson and Cunningham. The 6-foot-9 Johnson is a small forward with eye-popping skills, who averaged 19.7 points, 11.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists in becoming Wisconsin’s player of the year last season while playing for Nicolet (Glendale, Wis.). He transferred to IMG at the start of this school year.
But the main draw is just the start for the basketball crazy fan as the Signature Series bracket and Sunshine Series bracket are also loaded with plenty of star power. Taking to the court for Signature Series games will be St. Frances Academy (Baltimore, Md.), West Oaks (Orlando, Fla.), Hamilton Heights Christian (Chattanooga, Tenn.) and Sunrise Christian Academy (Bel Aire, Kan.). The always popular Sunshine Series is made up of Charlotte (Punta Gorda), Lakewood (St. Petersburg), Evangelical Christian School (Fort Myers), Seminole (Sanford), Stranahan (Fort Lauderdale), and Mater Academy (Hialeah Gardens).
And there is more! In honor of a legendary college and high school coach, the first Hugh Thimlar Tribute Game, featuring hometown Lehigh Senior High School and Venice High School, will be played. As coach of then-Edison Junior College, Thimlar created a junior college national powerhouse over 26 seasons. Overall, he won 604 games over 40 seasons a head coach in Indiana and Florida. He also founded the City of Palms tournament, called the News-Press Christmas Basketball Tournament, in 1973, with six teams competing at Edison in a regional tournament.

Event celebrates the benefits of local employers hiring individuals with disabilities
FORT MYERS, Fla. (Sept. 23, 2019) – Lee Association of Remarkable Citizen’s (LARC) Exceptional Employers event was held Thursday, September 12 at the Collaboratory.  The inaugural event drew more than 80 attendees and recognized employers that hire individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) as well as exceptional employees with long tenure in their jobs.
“The goal of the event was to silence the stigma of employers hiring this overlooked population and share the benefits businesses have seen from employing these capable, talented individuals,” said Kevin Lewis, LARC Executive Director.  “There are many organizations in Southwest Florida, including LARC, that provide support services for individuals with disabilities seeking employment.  We identify the strengths of individuals and match them to succeed at their desired job, and provide job coaching to support the employee and employer.”
The event included networking and a panel discussion with local business owners and executives discussing best practices for employing individuals with disabilities.  Panelists included Brian West, media and communications manager, Publix Super Markets, Pat Carroll, co-founder, Carroll Properties Investments and David Mulicka, owner, HONC Destruction.  Peter Busch, anchor at NBC-2 moderated the discussion.
“These employees are some of the most transparent, honest and hardworking individuals we have worked with,” said Carroll.   “We also found that our management team became closer and more like a family after we hired an individual with a disability.”
“Hiring people with exceptional abilities is beneficial to businesses,” said Angela Katz, LARC Development Director.  “There are significant gaps in the workforce, particularly in the hospitality industry.   Individuals with disabilities are loyal and hardworking, and businesses can fill many types of jobs with employees who will stay for years, reducing turnover.”
For more information about employing individuals with disabilities, contact Pamela Jenkins, Director of Community Support Services at 239-334-6285 x226 or [email protected].

Opportunity Cost. It was a lesson I learned quite a few times sitting on the knee of my father, a budget specialist in the military. He would pull me up, bring me to his eye level and help me learn to process the debate going on about whether or not a desired purchase was going to be made. I would work hard to lay out my reasoning for and the family’s benefit of me getting to buy whatever action figure I was holding in my hands at the time. He always brought it back to those two words: Opportunity Cost. Sure, we could buy the toy, but what would we have to go without?

The lesson would continue, sometimes surpassing the attention I held on the toy in question. But what spoke loudest was not the ability of my father to go on and on and all things financial, but about the actions that always followed up his words. Despite him having a sweet tooth of legendary proportions and happily picking up a candy bar or a soda (ALWAYS a Coke) while stopping as a gas station, I learned quickly, even as a young kid, that if I wanted something, dad would go without. If I grabbed for a candy bar, I knew his approval by him putting down his.

Say Goodbye to Order Takers

There are only so many dollars to go around.
“Would you like fries with that?” may soon be a phrase of the past.
As minimum wage levels approach or surpass $15 nationwide, restaurant customers expecting to be greeted by a smiling face will instead be welcomed by a glowing LED screen.

As of 2020, self-service ordering kiosks will be implemented at all U.S. McDonald’s locations. Other chains, including fast-casual brands like Panera and casual-dining brands like Chili’s, have already embraced this trend. Some restaurant concepts have even automated the food-preparation process; earlier this year, NBC News profiled “Flippy,” a robot hamburger flipper. Other upcoming concepts include virtual restaurants which eliminate the need for full-service restaurants (and staff) by only offering home delivery.

While some consumers may appreciate the novelty or added convenience, the conveniences come at the cost of entry-level jobs.

Despite denials from McDonald’s public relations department, dollars that were directed to labor prices are now being invested in order kiosks and hamburger flippers (Forbes). When dollars are forced to go to one area (even a good area such as wages), it has to come from somewhere else. The common sacrifice is the number of hours a low-wage employee can work.

Overtime May be a Thing of the Past

“In 2017, a group of economists from the University of Washington concluded that Seattle’s law had cost the city thousands of jobs. It also led businesses to pare back hours for their employees, and as a result, the researchers reported that the average low-wage worker earned $125 less per month than if the ordinance had never passed. While an updated version of their paper later lowered that estimate to a loss of $74 per month, it appeared that the ordinance had backfired” (Slate).

The article from Slate goes on to make the argument that as more data continued to come in, it showed the minimum wage law to be a net benefit to low-wage works, as long as they already had a job. If they didn’t; well, that was a different story. The article finishes with the statement that the Seattle law (a good experiment for the rest of the country to learn from) was less risky than originally thought. “Between their two papers, the University of Washington economists arrive at the following conclusion: “Seattle’s minimum wage ordinance appears to have delivered higher pay to experienced workers at the cost of reduced opportunity for the inexperienced” (Slate).

New York is feeling the negative effects as well. “What it really forces you to do is make sure that nobody works more than 40 hours,” Ms. Koteen (owner of Lido Restaurant in Harlem) said. “You can only cut back so many people before the service starts to suffer.” Ms. Koteen said she shelved plans to move her restaurant to a larger location. That would require her to hire more staff, and she isn’t willing to take the risk with the unpredictability of her business. “You would just have no choice but to cut people at the bottom,” she said’ (Wall Street Journal).

Coming Together for a Better Solution

This is all about Opportunity Cost. All sides of the political aisle are unified in a desire and willingness to work towards everyone having a living, workable wage. The question is how. If money needs to go to higher wages, where can that cash come from? Raising prices? How much are you willing to pay in a free market for a pizza night out? Eventually, whether it is $20 for a pizza, or $40, or more – the public will stop going out and make one at home. There is certainly no clean answer for where that money can come from to cover those wages, but there are steps that can be taken together.
At the Greater Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce, there are multiple ways the Chamber is working towards that goal, but from some different angles. The Chamber “recognizes the challenge of earning a living wage. We believe compensation should be based on what the local market will bear. Therefore, the Greater Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce does not support government mandated minimum wage increases” (Greater Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce).

Greater Fort Myers Chamber Development Opportunities

Aside from hosting an event in November of 2019 to educate the members on these aspects of the potential minimum wage hike in Florida, the Chamber is working hard through multiple targeted approaches to help low wage earners’ upward mobility in the workforce. Some of our efforts are included below.

FutureMakers Coalition

“The FutureMakers Coalition aims to transform Southwest Florida’s workforce by increasing the proportion of working-age adults with college degrees, workforce certificates, industry certifications and other high-quality credentials to 55%. FutureMakers is a collective impact initiative working along the cradle-to-career pathway to create a skilled and sustainable workforce pipeline. The pathway begins with early childhood learning and ends with post-high school credential attainment and career connections. The coalition focuses on systems change to connect untapped workforce with the education and training to fill in-demand jobs by removing attainment barriers and creating a culture of career exploration and aspiration from an early age” (FutureMakers).

Fort Myers Leadership Program

The mission of the Leadership Program “is to assure leadership development in the Chamber’s business members by encouraging their community involvement, broadening their knowledge and heightening their leadership skills through participation in eleven weeks of structured, interactive programs and activities emphasizing local economic, education, government and volunteerism issues” (Greater Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce).
Through a 4 month long, heavily directed program, class participants are introduced to civic leaders, movers and shakers, and successful entrepreneurs who can provide them with the training, skills and opportunities necessary to grow into success in their own right.

Stop Robbing Peter to Pay Paul

Opportunity Cost. There were many times I ended up with the toy I wanted. There were many times I didn’t. What I ultimately learned that, just as Antoine Lavoisier said in regards to matter; “it cannot be created or destroyed”. Money can be wasted or earned, but if a dollar goes into one pot, it cannot go into another. What can be created are opportunities. Whether it is a chance to rub shoulders with a successful leader, be mentored by a more experienced professional, or develop skills that strengthen a resume, working together to develop opportunities for all is something that can be done without robbing Peter.

FORT MYERS, Fla. (Sept. 20, 2019) – The Royal Palm Coast Realtor Association (RPCRA) recently rallied the Southwest Florida Realtor community in an effort to bring urgently needed relief supplies to the Bahamas in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian.

With the help of RPCRA members and the public, RPCRA’s “Help the Bahamas” collection drive accrued a sizeable supply of relief items to support the Bahamian community in its recovery. Hundreds of pounds of canned and boxed food items, as well as many cases of water, charcoal, pet food, personal hygiene products, baby products and diapers, toilet paper, tents and other non-perishable goods were among the items collected in just two weeks’ time.

“As the National Association of Realtors’ Ambassador Association to the Bahamas, the Royal Palm Coast Realtor Association works closely with fellow Realtors in this region whose homes and communities were devastated by Hurricane Dorian,” said Beate Jones, CEO of RPCRA. “We knew the Realtor community and the greater Southwest Florida area would come together in a big way.”

On Sept. 17, RPCRA members, staff and partners loaded 50 boxes for delivery to HeadKnowles, a Bahamian nonprofit group facilitating the distribution of goods in the Bahamas for those in need.

Two Men and a Truck volunteered its moving truck and manpower to transport donations to Tropix Shipping & Logistics in Fort Lauderdale, one of the official shipping companies partnering with HeadKnowles. Home Depot also supplied boxes for transportation.

“The destruction on Great Abaco and Grand Bahama islands is beyond comprehension, and our hearts go out to our many friends in the Bahamas who are struggling to recover and rebuild,” said Josh Burdine, president of the RPCRA board of directors. “We are grateful for all who contributed and partnered with us to help our friends and neighbors during this time of great need.”
