A Word from the Publisher
Goodbye August, hello September! We’re officially halfway through our hurricane season, and aside from Hurricane Erin recently skirting up our coastline, so far so good. But, according to the National Hurricane Center, September 10th is the most active point in the six-month season, so fingers crossed South Florida will have a relatively quiet “second half.”
Labor Day is on Monday, September 1st. This is a federal holiday, so most businesses and schools will be closed, and, depending on when your September Neighborhood News magazine arrives in the mail, best wishes for a relaxing three-day weekend!
Thursday, September 11th was designated as ‘Patriot Day’ by Congress in 2001 and is a solemn day of remembrance for the nearly 3,000 Americans killed in the horrendous terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and aboard Flight 93. U.S. flags should be flown at halfstaff throughout the day.
Rosh Hashanah, the beginning of the Jewish New Year, begins at sundown on Monday, September 22nd. We wish our Jewish neighbors ‘Shana Tova!’ And Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement and most sacred day in the Jewish calendar, begins at sundown on Wednesday, October 1st.

Craft Brewing Loses its Fizz
The craft brewing business enjoyed an extended boom, but it seems like the rage might be cooling off. For the first time in two decades, more craft breweries closed than opened in the U.S. last year, and overall production declined by 4 percent to 23.1 million barrels. According to Axios, it was the largest drop in the industry's history outside of the pandemic and the third consecutive year of negative growth.
It's a brutal fall for a once-thriving industry, and fancy suds isn't the only segment of the alcoholic beverage industry to fall on hard times. According to ThinkGlobalHealth, sales are down overall for both beer and wine, and spirits aren't faring much better.
The reason: Americans just aren’t drinking as much as they used to, especially younger Gen Z consumers whose alcohol consumption is similar to Americans over the age of 55. At least some of this decline is related to concerns over the potential health risks -- according to Gallup, fewer than 4 in 10 young adults report regular alcohol consumption, and they are more likely than middle-aged and older adults to view drinking as unhealthy.
But while the alcohol market continues to slump, the nonalcoholic beverage market is experiencing a boom. Alcoholfree alternatives to popular beverages are proliferating in grocery and liquor stores, and some bottle shops have ditched the hard stuff altogether to focus entirely on non-alcoholic versions of popular beers, wines, and cocktails.
TikTok’s Fate Unknown—Again
After a brief blackout in January this year, and several deadline extensions in the months since then, TikTok is once again on the verge of going dark in the U.S. According to Reuters, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced that TikTok's parent company, the China-based ByteDance, must sell its U.S. assets by September 17 to avoid shutdown of the massively popular social media app.
Due to data privacy concerns and potential national security risks, a 2024 law passed by Congress and signed by former President Joe Biden mandated the app's shutdown by January 19 of this year unless significant progress had been made toward a sale. ByteDance shut down TikTok just hours before midnight on January 18, but was back online less than 24 hours later and received a 90-day reprieve from President Donald Trump after his return to the White House.
After one failed deal and two additional deadline extensions to allow for negotiations, TikTok's situation remains tenuous. Few potential buyers have deep enough pockets to acquire ByteDance's U.S. assets, which are valued at around $50 billion, according to CNBC. And any sale would also require the approval of the Chinese government, which has indicated its unwillingness to allow any transaction to move forward.
The Chinese government does not allow the U.S. version of TikTok, which is designed to keep users engaged for extended periods, in mainland China. Instead, the Chinese government offers an alternate version that focuses on educational topics like math, science, and Chinese patriotism.

At sundown on Monday, September 22nd, Jewish Americans will celebrate Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Jewish New Year. It begins on the first day of Tishrei (or Tishri), which is the seventh month in the Jewish calendar. Most denominations around the world observe Rosh Hashanah with a two-day celebration that includes candle-lighting, blowing a shofar horn and apologizing for the previous year's mistakes. It is sometimes called the Day of Remembrance.
Many celebrate the event for two days, while others celebrate the event for one day. It is a time of family gatherings, special meals and sweet foods. A popular treat is eating challah bread and apples dipped in honey. Before the event, reverent Jewish people in the U.S. may decide to seek forgiveness from friends and family they may have offended during the year just ending.
It's the time of judgment and remembrance, during which God reviews and judges a Jewish person's deeds in the past year. It is also a time of prayer and penitence. By tradition, debts from the past year are settled before Rosh Hashanah.
Rosh Hashanah kicks off a 10-day period of introspection and repentance known as the Days of Awe, which culminates with Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Many Jews attend synagogue for the traditional prayer service, which includes the confessional prayers Ashamnu and Al Chet, when worshippers gently beat their chests with their fists to symbolize punishment and repentance.
The Age of Stablecoin Has Begun
Most Americans have never invested in cryptocurrency and might not know what a stablecoin is. But the digital tokens are a growing force in the U.S. financial system, and with the recent passage of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoin (or GENIUS) Act, stablecoins could become a serious player in the market.
According to the Brookings Institute, payment stablecoins are digital tokens whose value is pegged to other assets. Unlike conventional cryptocurrencies like bitcoin whose value relies purely on market demand and available supply, stablecoins are designed to reliably hold their value.
But stablecoins haven't always been quite reliable. According to Coindesk, the Terra cryptocurrency network collapsed in dramatic fashion in 2022 after the terraUSD stablecoin plummeted to 35 cents. Terra's implosion took just five days, erasing $60 billion from the cryptocurrency market, and led to the collapse of the fraudulent FTX exchange a few months later.
Why was the downfall so catastrophic? Unlike many payment stablecoins, terraUSD wasn’t directly backed with liquid assets and instead derived its value from algorithms. That's about to change. The GENIUS Act establishes a longawaited regulatory framework to the stablecoin market. It labels stablecoin issuers as financial institutions, outlines licensing requirements, mandates compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering Act, and stipulates that issuers must back their tokens one-to-one with legitimate assets, such as cash and treasury bills.
Former Pantry Staple Seeks a Lifeline
Del Monte, the 138-year-old titan of the canned food industry, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as it struggles with pandemic-era overproduction mistakes, inflation side effects, rising steel and aluminum costs, and a costly debt burden. The cash-strapped company, which also produces Contadina tomato sauces and College Inn broths, is currently seeking a buyer, but whoever those new owners are, they'll still face an unresolved existential problem: Consumers aren't buying canned food like they used to.
The past five decades haven't been kind to the canned food industry. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, 30 percent of vegetables and 11 percent of fruits available for consumption in 1970 were canned. These days, canned vegetables account for just 23 percent of available vegetables, and canned fruit has dropped to a puny 5 percent.
According to the New York Times, consumers today are more likely to opt for fresh options over canned, and grocery budgets are tighter than ever, thanks to higher retail prices -- about 30 percent higher on average than just three years ago. When consumers do choose canned foods, they're more likely to buy store brand options, which are typically priced well below name brands.
Backyard Upgrades
for Comfort & Safety
By Sheryl Volk / Exit Realty 561-389-8670
Simple upgrades can help homeowners protect their investment while preserving comfort and style. Your backyard should feel like an oasis —a place to unwind, grill, garden, or simply soak up the sun. It's also worth a little attention when it comes to security.
Outdoor lighting. It keeps your space inviting and helps deter unwanted guests. Motion-activated LED lights near pathways light up your yard when needed, without wasting electricity.
Store smart. Leaving your tools or grill accessories out in the open might be convenient, but it is also an open invitation for them to walk away. Lock up bikes and yard equipment in a garage or shed when not in use. If your shed has windows, add shatter-resistant film for added strength.
Trim landscaping. A well-maintained yard is not just for looks- it's also a safety feature. Overgrown bushes and low-hanging branches can create hiding spots near windows or fences. Keeping everything trimmed back to see what's going on.
Install security cameras. You can't be everywhere at once, but a security system comes close. Place them at gates, back doors, garages, and sheds. Select a system with motion alerts and remote access.
Put up a fence. A fence serves as both a visual frame and a gentle barrier, adding privacy to your space and making it less convenient for uninvited guests to wander in.

Even Knights Wore Hard Hats
Today, hard hats are worn by workers in many types of jobs. They are also worn by football players, soldiers and bike riders. Whether for work or play, they have an essential role in safety. It's not a new concept. King Arthur's knights wore metal helmets to protect their heads. Ancient drawings depict people in head-protecting hats in the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece and Rome.
The first protective hats made by E.W. Bullard Company, a mining equipment maker, were made of leather. When Bullard's son returned from the First World War with a steel helmet, that changed.
In more modern times, when famous writer Franz Kafka was with Workers Accident Insurance in Bohemia, he was instrumental in developing the protection hat in 1912, according to legendary management icon Peter Drucker. In the 1933 construction of the Golden Gate Bridge, workers had to wear safety helmets. Bullard also designed a helmet for sandblasters with a shield in front, like a window, and a hose for breathing.
In 1938, the first aluminum hard hats were made. They were durable and lightweight. But these hats had one serious drawback: aluminum is a great conductor of electricity. In the 1950s and 1960s, thermoplastics became the newer material. Manufacturers injected thermoplastic into a mold to produce a hard hat. Helmets today are now made of a high-density plastic. They have features like earmuffs, extra ventilation, face-shields, sun visors, linings for absorbing sweat, and extra attachments like radios, cameras or walkie-talkies.

Happy Birthday, Jimmy Connors!
By Marc Solomon, Contributing NN Writer
As a young boy playing at a tennis center, I noticed a framed poster of American tennis great, Jimmy “Jimbo” Connors, about to strike a ball. From then on, I was forever hooked.
James Scott Connors will turn 73 on September 2. Raised in East St. Louis and coached by his mother, he enjoyed twenty-four years (1972–1996) on the professional tour. As an aggressive lefty with a ‘never –say – die’ attitude, Connors savored winning the U.S. Open five times and Wimbledon twice. His rivalries with tennis greats Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, and Ivan Lendl are well known in professional tennis.
“I hate to lose more than I love to win,” is how he described his ultra-competitive nature. Pugnacious and sometimes vulgar, Connors was known as a true crowd pleaser. He could move the spectators like a musical conductor. He made an improbable run to the semis at the U.S. Open with stunning come–from–behind matches. Most notable was Connor’s victory on his 39th birthday over Aaron Krickstein, overcoming a 2-5 deficit in the fifth set.
A member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, Connors has his own weekly podcast, “Advantage Connors,” where he has his son, Brett, as a co-host. It should be interesting to hear his thoughts around his early September birthday.

Extraordinary Blood Type Discovered
A woman on a French Caribbean island has a blood type so rare that no compatible donor exists on the planet. Even her own siblings are not compatible. This is the 48th confirmed blood type called Gwada Negative. It was discovered when the woman was being prepped for surgery earlier this year, and all known blood types reacted badly to her singular blood.
Besides the four major blood types (A, B, AB, and O with RH+/-), there are actually 44 more blood types, each with their own unique makeup of enzymes and proteins. For the woman with Gwada Negative blood, her survival might depend on labcreated blood. The Gwada Negative blood type is suspected to have been the cause of her two stillborn babies.
Blood type O Negative is unusual, found in 7 percent of the U.S. population. But the following blood types are super rare: Rhnull (Golden Blood). Only 50 known cases of this blood are known to exist and is critical for scientific research. Bombay Phenotype (hh Blood Type): About 179 known cases exist in India, where blood banks prioritize identifying cases and storing it.
Ro Kell Negative: This type is found in 2 percent of blood donors, especially in African American populations. Critical for treatment of sickle cell disease. Duffy-Negative and U Negative: Rare but more common in Africa and Middle Eastern populations, it exists in 1 percent of non-African populations. Duffy-Negative offers natural resistance to some malaria strains and is also critical for sickle cell treatment.

My Next Chapter Begins…
By Zoe Stoler, Freshman at University of Central Florida
I’m officially moved into my college dorm at the University of Central Florida. Moving into my new place was a whirlwind of emotions, both excitement and anxiety. Thankfully, I had a lot of help from my parents with moving in and getting my room all set up.
I made sure to make my dorm feel as much like a home since I’ll be living there for the next nine months. And meeting my three new roommates was absolutely amazing—I already love each of them!
But the hardest part of my move was saying goodbye to my parents. The homesick feeling has yet to leave, but I know I can call and FaceTime with my family and friends any time.
Now that I’ve been settled in for a couple of weeks, I’m beginning to know my way around campus and getting into the routine of my classes and studying. One of the hardest parts has been figuring out how to make food and figuring out what to eat from my dorm.
From what I’ve experienced so far, I’m going to love my college experience. I can’t wait for all the upcoming memorable experiences, and I’m beyond thankful to call UCF my new home.
'Too Cool for School’ Jokes…
What did the father Buffalo say at school drop-off? Bison.
Why did the kid eat his homework? Because the teacher said it was a piece of cake! What is a snake’s favorite subject? Hiss-tory!
Why don’t fish go on vacation?
Because they’re always in a school! What did one pencil say to the other? Looking sharp!
Why did the students bring a ladder to school? Because they were going to high school!
Sometimes aching joints are just telling you they're thirsty. Whether or not you have arthritis, water works by filling the spaces between joints.
But the right amount for you could be more or less than the recommended eight glasses of water a day. When you exercise, if the weather is hot or your health condition requires more, then eight glasses may not be nearly enough.
If you drink many other fluids, then the minimum amount of actual water you may need to drink might be closer to two to three glasses a day. Water moves nutrients through your body, hydrates your joints and cells, and increases metabolic activity.
Low-fat milk, calcium-fortified orange juice, green tea, caffeinated coffee, and fruit juice are all excellent drinks. But be cautious drinking sodas that contain phosphoric acid, which can prevent calcium from being absorbed and can increase your risk of osteoporosis, say researchers at the Cleveland Clinic.
Always drink alcohol in moderation, one or two glasses a day at most. Alcohol is dehydrating, which can decrease the amount of water in your body and decrease water's benefits. About 20 percent of your fluid need is met by the foods we eat. The other 80 percent must be from drinking water and other beverages.

Joke of the Month Neighborhood News
The Shredder
A young executive is working late one evening at his office. As he comes out of his office about 8 p.m., he sees the big boss standing by the shredder in the hallway with a piece of paper in his hand.
"Do you know how to work this darn thing?" the older man asks. "I’ve got a meeting in the morning, but my secretary's gone home, and I have no idea how to run it."
"Yes, sir," says the young executive, who presses the power button on the side of the machine, takes the paper and gently feeds it in.
"Great!" says the boss, "And I just need one copy."

Investing Patience Yields Big Results
The money experts at Kiplinger do a fun series of stories asking readers to imagine how small investments made 20 years ago would add up to today. The results can be astonishing. So, suppose 20 years ago you had $5,000, the desire to invest it, and exceptionally good taste in stocks. Here are some of the wins you could have made had you invested $1,000 in each of these five stocks:
• Amazon. An eye-opener. That cool grand would be worth about $105,000. That's an annualized total return (meaning the change in price and dividends earned over the period) of 26.2 percent.
• Netflix. Hold on to your hat. Your $1,000 over 20 years would be worth $583,000, an annualized return of 34 percent.
• Apple. Take a big bite. $185,000. That's a 29.8 percent annualized return.
• Microsoft. You would still get a fantastic, annualized return of 16.6 percent, but compared to your other investments, your results would not dazzle you at $21,000. But it would be substantially more than another good $1,000 investment -- the S&P 500 -- which would earn a solid, annualized 10.1 percent return, or $6,800 total.
• Nvidia (your last $1,000.) Had you invested in Nvidia, this would be your bonanza. The AI chip maker rules the market today and your $1,000 would have turned into a whopping $650,000.
So, in total, your $5,000 investment would have grown to more than $1.5 million. Congratulations on the good choices (and not selling during market downturns.)
Pet Adoption of the Month! Neighborhood News
Meet the magnificent dog we call ‘Lobo the Saylor Dog.’ He is looking forward to being your first mate! This beautiful boy is about 2 years old and loves to play fetch with his toys. He is also a loving, loyal companion who will walk right by your side.
Lobo loves working for treats and knows how to sit, lay down, and go to his "place". The volunteers say he is truly a playgroup rock star with the other dogs. He is so sweet and friendly to everyone!
Even though he is a big dog, Lobo loves playing in a baby pool. He has also been working diligently with one of our skilled volunteers, and if you adopt this boy, that volunteer will assist you by showing all the remarkable skills he has mastered.
