Good morning, Fort Myers.

Nancy Olson, who discovered Six Mile Cypress Slough in 2005 on her first weekend in Fort Myers, was elected board president and started her two-year term in March.

With 13 years of volunteer service, Olson now leads efforts to protect the preserve—helping train new volunteers and guide community events.

A forensic artist created a new forensic image of skeletal remains found in Fort Myers in the mid-1990s to help police identify a homeless man aged 18 to 35, noting his past wrist fracture (a detail that may aid in confirming his identity) and urging anyone who recognizes him to contact police.

The Lee County Sheriff's Office is seeking help to find the endangered 16 year old Christina Villagomez-Jimenez who was last seen Tuesday afternoon walking on the 10,000 block of Hampton Street in Bonita Springs — she is 5 ft 3 in and weighs 190 lbs with brown/black hair and brown eyes.

Recent North Fort Myers High theater graduate Mia Zottolo will attend NYU Tisch School of the Arts this fall after a demanding audition process—she battled bronchitis before her audition and secured her acceptance while aiming for a Broadway career.

Southwest Florida remains in drought as low water levels at the Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed and Six Mile Cypress Slough cause fish to gather and birds to feed nearby.

Consistent rains could arrive soon — offering relief for Fort Myers and Naples.

The town finished renourishment work on the south segment on May 18—critical for nesting shorebirds—and the FWC confirmed active nests including 250 least tern nests while work in central and north areas will continue through June with demobilization planned for early July.
