Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 27th of June.
Good morning, Naples.
🏘️ Community
Shy Wolf Sanctuary joined forces with Home Base Florida to help veterans heal while they care for rescued exotic animals.
Veterans in the Home Base adventure series — volunteering in educational encounters — and many now work with wolves, wolf dogs, and a cougar — showing strong bonds that lift spirits.
🎭 Culture
Sculptor Joel Shapses will change his art gallery and sculpture garden in the Naples Art District over the summer.
The makeover will add a studio for ceramicist Joan Eshkenazi and a new space with 20-foot ceilings for his large sculptures — the revamped gallery will open mid-October.
🏛️ Government
The White House has proposed a new NOAA budget of $3.5 billion — almost half of last year’s funding — which experts say could weaken hurricane forecasts by limiting research and weather balloon data.
Forecasts for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season remain uncertain as reduced staffing and resources may impact storm tracking.
