Aye Aranee

A Letter to Dania Beach Florida Mayor, Attorney & Commissioners From Hughes Longelin: Aye Aranee’s killers would have been caught with traffic light cctv tag readers at streets lights on Sheridan & U.S. - 1 + for every Accident at Lights Intersection, Police get the video proof & save time & money for all. To Whom May Be Concerned! 2020 could have been my best year, but December 26th, 2020 at 10:20 p.m., my very best friend Aye Aranee, was murdered! Shot 4 times in the parking lot of her apartment complex, Sheridan Lakes, located at 321 East Sheridan Street, Dania Beach, Florida 33004 at 10:30 p.m. 2020 was the very first time in 28 years in the USA, I got over 4 months vacation in a year! Making a lot less money, but, having so much more fun with family & close friends living on the beach! We just had her Funeral Ceremony on January 27th 2021. This coming week, we will be sending her ashes to her parents & 2 sisters in Thailand! A very SAD End of her American Dream! In Europe, for accident prevention, there are CCTV Cameras with TAG Readers at every light intersection! Here NONE!

Aye Aranee was followed on Sheridan Street, her killer drove away on Sheridan Street going westbound! Which means with cameras at the lights at the intersection of Sheridan Street & U.S. - 1, the white Nissan Maxima with a black roof top & after market rims passed by twice, going eastbound & going westbound. The same senseless murder would have happened in 27 Countries in Europe & /Japan/ Singapore/China/Australia. By 11:30 p.m. on December 26th, 2020, the police would have sent an “Amber/Red Alert” with the car’s tag & model all over the state! Here, in Dania Beach, Florida, 48 days later, the best the police could get is that the killer drove a White Nissan Maxima 2009-2014! With CCTV & tag readers on each street light intersection, not only my best friend’s killers would have been caught & taken out of the community for life in 36 countries, in 48 hours. For every traffic accident that often happens at intersections, the police would have had video proof of what really happened! But, here, in the USA, the killer of my best friend is still free 48 days after her brutal murder! How in a City/County/State/

Country with billions of legal & illegal guns in circulation, can drivers get their driver license without 60 hours of driving school, like in: Europe or Japan, China or Australia? NO CCTV networks are available on every street light intersection, why? How come there is no liability requirement to have every commercial building or business rental which includes the Sheridan complex to provide basic security for their residents? MEANS: 1. CCTV System covering the 1. ground of the private property! 2. CCTV with car tag reader 2. at each car entrance! 3. Better lighting at 3. night to feel safer! You are The Mayor & Officials of Dania Beach, Florida, You have the power to make all of the U.S. safer with City Ordinances! I am Counting On You to Act! For every visitor and resident alike in Dania Beach, Florida in Aye Aranee’s memory, as it is too late for her, but we can still make it safer for the 100,000 residents of Dania Beach, Florida!

By Tracy Renee Lee

At the onset of grief, a survivor needs nurturing support through the comforts and love found within their intimate circle of family and longtime friends. The survivor’s vulnerable state of mind, soul, weakened personal and physical strength, damage their ability to discern good from evil intentions toward them, expose them to manipulations that they would otherwise be able to recognize and resist. These are precisely the reasons why survivors are counseled to delay any financial or life altering decisions, if possible, to a later time. Preferably, that time will be when they have recovered their organizational gifts, powers of discernment and customary levels of functionality. Assuming the survivor’s network of family and longtime friends is comprised of willing and functional supporters; the most effective support and assistance will be offered and found within this group. By virtue of their shared history, this group will intuitively understand the survivor’s unspoken needs and provide a more personal level of assistance than any other outside source. Moreover, their assistance will be blanketed in love and deep concern for the

A grief-stricken person is unable to function at their usual 100% capability. It is therefore wise to postpone major decisions at this time. Selling a home, moving to another city, or changing jobs or professions, are all better put off to some later date if possible. survivor. If, however, the survivor’s intimate circle of family and longtime friends is inaccessible, dysfunctional or untrustworthy, a support group would be an option to explore. It is important to distinguish between caring, love and support from counseling or professional intervention. Although a survivor may benefit from counseling at the onset of grief, until he/she has entered the dangerous waters of complicated grief, they should be able to recover without licensed counseling or professional intervention. Complicated grief is a con-

dition whereby the survivor may be affected physically, mentally and/or socially. Without appropriate treatment, complications may include depression, suicidal thoughts or behaviors, anxiety (including PTSD), significant sleep disturbances, increased risk of physical illness (including, but not limited to heart disease, cancer or high blood pressure), long-term difficulty with daily living (including self-care, personal or professional relationships, as well as work responsibilities), self-medicating (including alcohol, nicotine use, over the counter or prescription drug mis-

use, illegal substance misuse), severe eating, anger management or behavioral disorders. Friends and family are not at all equipped to handle these issues. These issues necessitate the hasty intervention of licensed professionals. If left untreated by the properly licensed professionals, these issues may lead to the survivor’s death. Grief is an intimate ailment of the soul. Without recovery, a survivor’s will and ability to continue living are severely compromised. Survivors must find and restore their soul’s inner peace. They must be at liberty to explore and

HELP A HOMETOWN HERO Krystal Feliciano is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Thomas Montellanico and his Retired Police K-9 partner Artos. Tom and Artos proudly served the City of Hallandale Beach from 2013 until 2019, when Artos was retired. He truly is a remarkable Police Service Dog that selflessly put himself between citizens and the criminal element. From The gofundme Site: Hello all, Let me introduce you to my Brother, Tom Montellanico and his Retired Police K-9 Partner, Artos. Artos and Tom were a great team and held three certifications. The team was

Patrol Certified through FDLE, Currency Detection Certified and Firearm Detection Certified through the Florida Law Enforcement Canine Association. Tom and Artos proudly served with a city located in southern Broward County, Florida from 2013 until 2019, when Artos was retired. During his time in service, Artos helped apprehend countless violent criminals, located many illegal firearms and earned his city over $11 million dollars in seized currency/assets.

He truly is a remarkable Police Service Dog that selflessly put himself between citizens and the

criminal element. Once retired, Artos began living the “good life.” Sadly, in October of 2020,

Artos became sick and was ultimately diagnosed with B Cell Small and Large Cell Lymphoma. After multiple tests to determine the best treatment for Artos, it was decided that he would undergo 15 weeks of Chemotherapy Treatment followed by Immunization Therapy. This team is committed to battling this disease to the end with the same tenacity they had when defending the innocent, but as you can imagine, it’s going to be very costly.

Unfortunately, the city which employed Artos and Tom, have no provisions in the policy to pay for Artos’ treatment, once he was retired. Due to this, the treatment costs fall on Tom to cover. During these trying times, it’s hard enough for a single Police Officer to make ends meet and much more difficult when faced with thousands of dollars in Cancer treatment bills. Please help support these two hometown heroes and show them how we all “Back The Blue!” A Go Fund Me page has been developed to help with Artos’ medical expenses. Visit: www.CoHB.org/HBWoof to help these hometown heroes.

The Time Has Come To Move Forward Dr. Jeremy Earle At The Helm - Righting The Ship By Hallandale Beach Mayor, Joy Cooper

At our last commission meeting, I requested an item to be discussed, the formal hiring of a new City Manager. We have had an Interim for over 6 months. The past six months have been unprecedented for many reasons. Obviously, COVID-19 struck, but it has been unprecedented for City operations and our leadership. Last year, during COVID-19, our budget and elections were handled by City Manager, Greg Chavarria, who has since resigned. Our City commission was notified that he would be taking an offer in Fort Lauderdale. The moment that happened, I stepped up and approached both of our Assistant City Managers, Kevin Klopp and Dr. Jeremy Earle, who are both excellent leaders with a wealth of experience and knowledge. Dr. Earle wanted the opportunity to serve as Interim City Manager. Dr. Earle has been at the helm, righting the ship for over 6 months. It has been so busy and fluid over the past months, with the holidays and Dr. Earle’s family health issues, I had to put off discussing the hiring of a new City Manager until I had a chance to discuss the position

with him. Under normal conditions, there would have been a very different process. Ideally, we would have done a search, had a selection process where many residents and business partners could participate. Due to COVID19 and the exceptional performance of Dr. Earle over the past months, the time has come to move forward. The City commission are all on the same page, that we should move forward. We voted to hire Dr. Earle and bring back an item for a contract. I requested that when the item is brought forward, we share Dr. Earle’s curriculum vitae, so our residents and business partners have a chance to get to know him. The contract will be negotiated over the next two weeks and will be placed on the agenda for February 17th, 2021. In other business, the commission voted to approve the final design of Sunrise Park. Sadly, I had to vote against the plan as it excluded the placement of a small splash pad and included the building of a hill. The splash pad was overwhelming requested during public workshops. The cost would have added $250,000 dollars, which could have come from the cost savings from the last few parks

that were under budget and a Florida State Park Grant that was over $200,000. The maintenance was estimated between $15,000 and $50,000 annually, with the higher number being replacement of pumps. The hill, frankly, I think is a total waste of money that could also go towards the splash pad. If you agree with me, I encourage you to contact your commissioners to recognize this. Over the past weeks, there have been FPL crews out working on Hallandale Beach Boulevard. They are in the process of hardening the electric grid, you may have noticed this activity and seeing the traffic impacts. The process includes: replacing wooden poles with concrete. The old poles will not be removed until the other utilities are transferred by AT&T and other providers which will be impacting traffic. There are other plans in the works that will at first impact traffic adversely, but in the end, it will improve the flow of traffic. Hallandale Beach Boulevard is slated to be one of the main corridors to receive, what is called: An Intelligent Transportation System. This system links traffic signals directly to the main control system. Operations will be able to adjust signals in real time.

It will be able to adapt to traffic patterns. Currently, the system is connected, but can only be reset via computers, hourly. This was implemented over five years back in what was called: The “Go Green” Project. You may think nothing happened when you are in rush hour, but, the lights are timed to be green and go red, based on the speed limits. The boxes at the intersection, can also be timed to adjust to the time of day. Over the years, we continue to try and improve traffic, but, there will always be traffic. In south Florida, we have the two most populated Counties in Florida. Over 5.7 million people reside here. That does not include visitors. So, complaining about traffic is so futile. It was interesting to see residents start to complain about traffic, when we started reopening. I am personally, so happy to see things getting back to being somewhat normal. When I see the traffic, it reminds me of the months of empty roads and stay at home isolation. If you have not lived here for years, you are not aware that Hallandale Beach Blvd. has always been grid locked during the season. Back in the eighties,

Impeaching Trump will accomplish very little, and it will not in any way improve the plight of the average American

Don’t Impeach Trump Impeach the Deep State for Its Conspiracy to Kill the Constitution By John W. Whitehead & Nisha Whitehead

Let’s be clear about one thing: the impeachment of Donald Trump is a waste of time and money. Impeaching Trump will accomplish very little, and it will not in any way improve the plight of the average American. It will only reinforce the spectacle and farce that have come to be synonymous with politics today. While the nation allows itself to be distracted by yet more bread-and-circus politics, the American kakistocracy (a government run by unprincipled career politicians and corporate thieves that panders to the worst vices in our nature and has little regard for the rights of the people) continues to suck the American people into a parallel universe in which the Constitution is meaningless, the government is all-powerful, and the citizenry are powerless to defend themselves against government agents who steal, spy, lie, plunder, kill, abuse and generally inflict mayhem and sow madness on everyone and everything in their sphere. So here’s what I propose: let’s impeach the Deep State and its cabal of government operatives from every point along the political spectrum (right, left and center) for conspiring to expand the federal government’s powers at the expense of the citizenry.

We’ve been losing our freedoms so incrementally for so long—sold to us in the name of national security and global peace, maintained by way of martial law disguised as law and order, and enforced by a standing army of militarized police and a political elite determined to maintain their powers at all costs—that it’s hard to pinpoint exactly when it all started going downhill, but we’re certainly on that downward trajectory now, and things are moving fast. Even now, we are being pushed and prodded towards a civil war, not because the American people are so divided but because that’s how corrupt governments control a populace (i.e., divide and conquer). These are dangerous times. These are indeed dangerous times but not because of violent crime, which remains at an alltime low, or because of terrorism, which is statistically rare, or because the borders are being invaded by foreign armies, which data reports from the Department of Homeland Security refute, or because a pandemic is spreading like a contagion, or even because raging mobs of so-called domestic terrorists are trying to overthrow elections. No, the real danger that we face comes from none other than

the U.S. government and the powers it has granted to its standing armies to rob, steal, cheat, harass, detain, brutalize, terrorize, torture and kill American citizens with immunity. The danger “we the people” face comes from masked invaders on the government payroll who crash through our doors in the dark of night, shoot our dogs, and terrorize our families. This danger comes from militarized henchmen on the government payroll who demand absolute obedience, instill abject fear, and shoot first and ask questions later. This danger comes from greedy, power-hungry bureaucrats on the government payroll who have little to no understanding of their constitutional limits. This danger comes from greedy politicians and corporations for whom profit trumps principle. This danger comes from a surveillance state that grows more and more ominous. Consider, if you will, all of the dastardly, devious, diabolical, dangerous, debilitating, deceitful, dehumanizing, demonic, depraved, dishonorable, disillusioning, discriminatory, dictatorial schemes inflicted on “we the people” by a bureaucratic, totalitarian regime

that has long since ceased to be “a government of the people, by the people and for the people.” Americans have no protection against police abuse. Americans are little more than pocketbooks to fund the police state. Americans are no longer innocent until proven guilty. Americans no longer have a right to self-defense. Americans no longer have a right to private property. Americans are powerless in the face of militarized police. Americans no longer have a right to bodily integrity. Americans no longer have a right to the expectation of privacy. Americans can no longer rely on the courts to mete out justice. Americans no longer have a representative government. We have moved beyond the era of representative government and entered a new age, let’s call it the age of authoritarianism. In fact, a study conducted by Princeton and Northwestern University concluded that the U.S. government does not represent the majority of American citizens. Instead, the study found that the government is ruled by the rich and powerful, or the so-called “economic elite.” Moreover, the researchers concluded that policies enacted by this governmental elite nearly

between The Diplomat Hotel, The Diplomat Mall, Gulfstream and The Hollywood Greyhound Track, it was not unusual to sit in traffic. The work to improve traffic flow has worked and we will continue to try and improve to where we can, but traffic is like death and taxes. In March, there will also be construction to be performed on the water sewer connections for 1000 Hallandale Beach Boulevard. Both East and West bound lanes in the proximity of 8th, 10th and 14th will be closed at various lane levels for a week. The closing is being scheduled between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., luckily. There will be one evening of full closure, so, please pardon the inconveniences. This has been difficult for many residents that live in the proximity of the construction, so, our staff has been monitoring the construction closures. For information, contact Luis Gonzalez at: (786) 606-2818. As always, I am available anytime for your questions, concerns and ideas on how to make our City a better place at on my phone/text at: (954) 632-5700. You can e-mail me at: jcooper@cohb.org. Please visit my Facebook: MayorJoyCooper. Like It! Friend It! Share It! always favor special interests and lobbying groups. It is not overstating matters to say that Congress, which has done its best to keep their unhappy constituents at a distance, may well be the most self-serving, semi-corrupt institution in America. In other words, we are being ruled by an oligarchy disguised as a democracy, and arguably on our way towards fascism: a form of government where private corporate interests rule, money calls the shots, and the people are seen as mere subjects to be controlled. Rest assured that when and if fascism finally takes hold in America, the basic forms of government will remain: Fascism will appear to be friendly. The legislators will be in session. There will be elections, and the news media will continue to cover the entertainment and political trivia. Consent of the governed, however, will no longer apply. Actual control will have finally passed to the oligarchic elite controlling the government behind the scenes. Sound familiar? History may show that from this point forward, we will have left behind any semblance of constitutional government and entered into a totalitarian state where all citizens are suspects and security trumps freedom. Even with its constantly shifting terrain, this topsy-turvy travesty of law and government has become America’s new normal. From Clinton to Bush, Obama to Trump, and now Biden, it’s as if we’ve been caught in a time loop, forced to re-live the same thing over and over again: the same assaults on our freedoms, the same disregard for the rule of law, the same subservience to the Deep State, and the same corrupt, self-serving government that exists only to amass power, enrich its shareholders and ensure its continued domination. As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, the powers-that-be want us to remain distracted, divided, alienated from each other based on our politics, our bank accounts, our religion, our race and our value systems. Yet as George Orwell observed, “The real division is not between conservatives and revolutionaries but between authoritarians and libertarians.” Editor’s Note: John Whitehead is an attorney and author who has written, debated and practiced widely in the area of constitutional law, human rights and popular culture.

Micro Loans - Start Up Loans - Capital Access Loans The Broward Municipal Service District Has A New Revolving Loan Fund The Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) is proud to announce the launch of the Broward Municipal Service District (BMSD) Revolving Loan Fund (RLF).

The RLF provides BMSD businesses and commercial property owners with working capital and commercial real estate loans, along with small business training and other support services.

businesses or relocating to the BMSD. “This program has been an ongoing discussion with OESBD, Urban League of Broward County and myself, for several years to help small businesses in BMSD unincorporated areas. I am very grateful to see that we finally made this happen. I hope that other financial institutions will join in this effort to deliver

access to capital to our underserved community,” says Commissioner Dale V.C. Holness.

or more with 1-100 employees (loans ranging from $3,000$10,000)

NDC will administer the RLF and offer three types of small business loans to for-profit businesses currently located in or moving into the BMSD:

START-UP LOANS to new small businesses with 1-100 employees (loans ranging from $10,000$50,000)

MICRO-LOANS to small businesses established for 6 months

CAPITAL ACCESS LOANS to businesses established for a minimum of 18 months with 1-100

“COVID made 2020 a challenging year for businesses and they need more access to financial resources,” said OESBD Director Sandy McDonald. “The Revolving Loan Fund is a new addition to the resource toolbox of support for businesses, exclusively in the BMSD. We are working to make more support available to these businesses, during these difficult times.” Funds can be used to buy machinery and equipment, to finance tenant and real estate improvements, as well as provide working capital. The loan fund can be accessed by any business in the BMSD. For more information, call: (954) 625-2557. Or visit: www.Broward.org/EconDev.

The Hallandale Scholarship Fund Scholarship Applications Are Now Being Accepted What is The Hallandale Scholarship Fund? FirstYear College Scholarships are awarded for the benefit of deserving Hallandale Beach residents who are students at Hallandale High School and all surrounding area High Schools. In 1960, Mrs. Chester Norteman attended Class Night at South Broward High School and was disappointed when not one civic or service organization from Hallandale Beach appeared on the stage to present an award to a Hallandale student. Mother of a graduate, she realized how much an award of even $100 (then) would mean to a student planning to work their way through college. To arouse interest in scholarships, she wrote to the organizations in town saying “discuss it, give it some thought and perhaps, take some action.” In September 1960, S. Lee Crouch, President of the Hallandale Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, urged by Ross Amos, invited all Hallandale civic and service organizations to form a Council of their Presidents or Representatives to serve as a clearinghouse for community projects and a vehicle for cooperative action. At the October meeting of the newly formed Hallandale Community Council, Ernie Pinto, Kiwanis representative, suggested scholarships as a Council project. After meeting with Frank Schwall, Guidance Counselor at South Broward High School, the Council named its first Scholarship Fund Committee: Charles Knorr, Edna Norteman, Betty Sapienza, Theresa Wipple and Chairman Pinto. Donations from twelve organizations netted $400 that year and the first award was presented by President Ernie Pinto to Richard Sullivan on June 7, 1961. Since then, the Hallandale Community Council Scholarship Fund (as it was known) has rec-

ognized the achievements and promises of hundreds of Hallandale Beach resident graduates with financial awards ranging from $100 to $5000 each, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. Plaques are awarded to Honor Cord Graduates (many who do not have a need for financial assistance). Students apply for scholarships through the aid of the Guidance Counselors at their own schools. In turn, the Counselors provide the Committee with additional information, cumulative average, extracurricular activities, results of achievement, aptitude and college entrance tests. The choice of school is left to the student, but the Committee requires that his or her application be accepted and the student enrolled, before any funds are disbursed. Scholarship students have attended local community colleges, state and private universities across the country (including Harvard) and such foreign universities as Universidad de las Americas and Columbus International in Spain. Some students also receive financial help for continued studies in vocational/trade schools. Usually, scholarships are for the first year of advanced education. If a student proves to be good college material during his or her first year, supplemental financial assistance is available to continue. In 2009, the Hallandale Community Council Scholarship Fund, Inc. became the Hallandale Scholarship Fund, Inc. and continues to provide scholarship awards to graduating residents of Hallandale Beach in area high schools. Scholarship applications are now being accepted. Qualifications and applications are available at: www.hallandale scholarshipfund.org. Or for more information, contact: (954) 454-9070. Or e-mail: hallandalescholarshipfund @gmail.com.

The person has no down time, usually minimal to no pain and only needs to stay active and wear compression hose afterwards. Ambulatory Phlebectomy A surgical approach to removing larger and more troublesome veins, ambulatory phlebectomy is often an in-office procedure that requires local anesthetic (think lidocaine like at the dentist). The veins are teased out through the tiny holes without causing any major scarring which is a significant advancement from the extensive vein stripping procedures of the past. Most often this is done with pinholes that don’t even need to be closed with sutures and most people return to normal activities immediately afterward without much recovery time. Spider Vein Removal Spider veins removal is deemed cosmetic even though they may cause symptoms. The gold standard is sclerotherapy where a solution is injected into the vein with a teeny-tiny needle and the vein lining gets irritated and gradually seals shut closing the tiny vein over several weeks. It may take several sessions for all of the veins to go away. If a person is afraid of needles, laser is an option and we have cutaneous lasers as well, that remove tiny veins without much difficulty. The laser uses light pulses to heat the vein and scar them shut. For the tiny and unsightly facial veins or miniscule red veins, we also have a machine called the VeinGogh which uses microbursts of energy to close teeny veins without any down time or scarring. This procedure often seals the tiny veins over a few days to weeks and can be done in a few sessions with amazing results. These are just a few of the treatment options offered at Fox Vein & Laser Experts South Florida’s Vein and Laser Experts. With many more options to choose from, we encourage you to call and set up a consultation to determine the best course of treatment for your varicose veins, skin and body today! 954-965-4922

If you are concerned you might have a mold or mildew problem it is best to call professionals for a complete evaluation of your home. Your health is your most important asset, so just like you go see a doctor for a test, your home health needs testing as well.

1st Priority From Page 1A Restoration who you can trust. The process is simple, when 1st Priority Restoration arrives, they will thoroughly walk through your home and discuss the areas that need to be cleaned & restored. Your insurance company adjuster or claim representative may recommend what and how your home should be cleaned, but in the end it is your decision. In the past months, we have all heard the word “Mitigation” more times than we can count, but with water damage, that is exactly what needs to be done. Water damage restoration does not stop at restoring your real estate back to proper functioning. The professionals at 1st Priority will inspect the underlying causes that have caused the water damage in the first place and make sure there won’t be a reoccurrence. They will repair all of the damaged structures and replace the materials to make your property safe for years to come. If your property has been exposed to water damage, you may have to do water mitigation. Strict actions are required in water mitigation, such as: removal of damaged materials such as drywall and flooring. Molds and mildew that have accumulated in areas in your property will be disinfected and deodorized to restore a healthy environment. Further cleaning and deodorizing should be done to make sure that your real estate is back in tip-top shape. Water damage mitigation should happen immediately after flooding or water buildup. Take action immediately, because letting your property sit in water can cause further damages and expenses. Materials soaking in water collect microbes and spread water-borne diseases. Furniture, wood flooring and walls will crack, sag and collect fungi after prolonged exposure to moisture. If your property is particularly old, it may be time to replace materials such as pipes to prevent a reoccurrence of water damage. If pipes are behind walls it may require more extensive repairs. The water mitigation process will depend on how long your property has been exposed to water. Air humidifiers and drying equipment must be turned on

around the clock in areas with severe water damage. Mold spores are especially dangerous to health and thorough cleaning and disinfecting should be done as part of the water damage mitigation. It is advisable to get the temperature, humidity and moisture of your property tested to see if it has been restored to normal standards, 1st Priority professionals can handle the entire process. After 1st Priority Restoration evaluates the work and equipment needed to clean your home, they will provide you with an estimate or contract for their services. Leak Detection: One tiny water leak can create huge problems in a home or business. An undetected water pipe leak will not only dramatically increase your utility bills, but it can also lead to even more expensive water damage and mold. If you’ve had higher than average water bills, constantly have to refill your pool or hear running water, it’s time to call the leak detection specialists at 1st Priority Restoration! Is water pipe leak detection possible if the pipes are behind a wall? Yes, using the newest state-of-the-art detection tools, highly trained technicians are able to locate water pipe leaks that are hidden behind walls. They can even provide water plumbing leak detection within concrete slab foundations. Will insurance cover the cost of plumbing leak detection services? That all depends on your home’s insurance plan. In many situations, when there is a need for water damage restoration, many insurance companies will cover the related costs. 1st Priority Restoration representatives can work directly with your home insurance company to verify the need for the plumbing leak detection service, cause of the problem and the repairs that will be required to remedy the situation. Mold And Your Home: Mold is found both indoors and outdoors. Mold can enter your home through open doorways, windows, vents, heating and air conditioning systems. Mold in the outside air can also attach itself to clothing, shoes, bags and pets, which can be carried indoors. Mold will grow in places with a lot of moisture, such as around leaks in roofs, windows, pipes or where there

has been flooding. Mold grows well on paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles and wood products. Mold can also grow in dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric and upholstery. With all of the rain and storms we have been having these past months, you can see a pattern of mold growth that will last. From leaks, flooding and driving rain, mold growth is a certainty in South Florida. If you are concerned that you might have a mold or mildew problem, it is best to call the professionals for a complete evaluation of your home. Your health is your most important asset, so just like you go see a doctor for a test, your home needs testing as well. Never Fool Around With Mold & Mildew: When it comes to mold and mildew, we cannot take those potential hazards lightly. A mold problem can cause you to experience dizziness, anxiety, depression and even hallucinations. If you have been experiencing a diminished attention span or problems with your memory, it might be a good idea to have your home inspected for black mold by a mold remediation crew. For people sensitive to mold, inhaling or touching mold spores can cause allergic reactions, including sneezing, runny nose, red eyes and skin rashes. People with serious mold allergies may have more severe reactions, including shortness of breath. At 1st Priority Restoration, this is what they do 365 days a year, nobody knows how to prevent potential dangers like they do. By dialing: 1 (800) 617-1112 – you can save financially and your health as well! Very Important Information: There are some important ways that we can prevent the spread of mold and what you can do to get rid of it. Keep an eye out for hidden leaks: Wet spots on your ceiling, the baseboards or on the floor are a telltale sign of a leaky pipe or roof. Your home’s pipes are behind drywall, which can leave a small leak unnoticed. Mold can grow behind those walls and filter into the air through ducts or pipes. At 1st Priority, they can come in and assess the situation before it gets worse. Did you know that many air conditioner systems/ ducts are susceptible to mold growth? They often trap mois-

ture, creating a breeding ground for spores. Bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms create a lot of excess heat and humidity, especially here in south Florida – whether it is from a shower, stove or even a dryer, all of these areas should be well ventilated. Education is key to anything – when our health is at stake – knowing that mold spores can lay dormant for years after they are produced and could begin growing again at any time, it is extremely important to know. Because of this, regular cleanings and having 1st Priority Restoration to depend on, will certainly make our lives much easier. Ever wonder why you or your children wake up coughing and sneezing on a regular basis? The CDC may have the answer. According to the CDC, in 2004 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found that there was sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptoms, coughing, sneezing and wheezing in otherwise healthy people and in individuals susceptible with compromised immune conditions. Mold or mold spores may cause asthma attacks in people who have asthma and are allergic to mold. Even in some nonallergic individuals, mold can cause symptoms of irritation in the eyes, skin and airways. For example, the “black mold” Stachybotrys, along with some other types of mold, produce toxins known as mycotoxins that can cause irritation of the skin and airways in susceptible individuals. Sometimes, people may develop severe reactions to mold exposure, but cleaning and sanitizing by professionals can help mitigate the health issues. Experience Is Everything: With decades in the business, 1st Priority Restoration is a reputable company with over 20 employees that are licensed and insured. They have been doing all types of cleaning, sanitizing,
