Protecting Paradise Alarming Statistics Show 1-in-4 Residents Are Willing To Defy Evacuation Warnings

As summer approaches, the allure of pristine beaches and vibrant sunsets beckons Floridians to enjoy the season’s bliss. However, amidst the allure, the looming threat of hurricanes casts a shadow over paradise.

The American Automobile Association (AAA) has conducted a groundbreaking survey to shed light on the state of Hurricane Preparedness among Floridians. With 1-in-4 residents willing to defy evacuation warnings and a startling 67% lacking Flood Insurance, it is evident that education and comprehensive coverage are paramount. AAA published the findings of their survey and provides valuable insights into insurance policies that can safeguard both property and travel plans during Hurricane Season. Join us as we explore

Rule By Decree

The Emergency State’s Plot To Override The Constitution COVID-19, for example, served as the driving force behind what Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch characterized as “the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country.”

“Congress should put an end to the use of presidential executive orders, decrees, memorandums, proclamations, national security directives and legislative signing statements as a means of getting around Congress and the courts.”

We have become a nation in a permanent State of Emergency.

Power-hungry and lawless, the government has weaponized one national crisis after another in order to expand its powers and justify all manner of government tyranny in the so-called name of national security.

In a statement attached to the Supreme Court’s ruling in Arizona VS. Mayorkas, a case that challenged whether the government could continue to use its Pandemic Powers even after declaring the Public Health Emergency being over, Gorsuch provided a catalog of the many ways in which the government used COVID-19 to massively overreach its authority and sup-

The recent survey conducted by AAA exposes a concerning lack of preparedness among Florida residents as Hurricane Season approaches. Astonishingly, 1-in-5 Floridians (19%) fail to make any advanced prepa rations for severe weather. Equally disquieting is the fact that 24% of respondents admit ted they would disregard Evacuation Warnings, putting their lives and properties at grave risk. Among those who would con sider evacuating, a mere 56% would take action only when a Hurricane reaches a Category 3

Actual Florida Man Dave Barry Returns

In the realm of literature, certain authors possess an extraordinary ability to captivate readers with their words, tickle their funny bones, and leave a lasting impact. Dave Barry, a Pulitzer PrizeWinning Author and New York Times Best-Selling Sensation, stands tall among this elite group of literary geniuses. With his unmatched wit, humor, and insightful commentary on contemporary life, Barry has carved a unique niche in the hearts of readers worldwide. Let’s take a look into the remarkable career and achievements of Dave Barry, shedding light on why he remains a celebrated figure in the world of literature.

Born on July 3, 1947, in Armonk, New York, Dave Barry displayed his comedic talents from a young age. While attending Haverford College, Barry found his calling in journalism, eventually becoming a columnist for The Miami Herald. It was during his time at the Herald that Barry honed his distinctive writing style, blending satire, sarcasm, and keen observations of everyday life.

Barry’s rise to literary prominence began in the 1980’s when he started publishing collections of his newspaper columns. His debut book, “Dave Barry Turns 40,” became an instant hit, captivating readers with his humorous take on the

ups and downs of middle age. The book’s success propelled Barry into the national spotlight, setting the stage for a series of Best-Selling Works.

In 1988, Dave Barry achieved a remarkable milestone in his career when he was awarded the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. The Pulitzer committee recognized his exceptional ability to blend wit and insight, making social and political commentary accessible to readers from all walks of life. The award solidified Barry’s reputation as a master wordsmith and elevated him to the status of a literary luminary.

Dave Barry’s literary prowess is exemplified by his numerous bestselling books that continue to resonate with readers of all ages. Among his most beloved works is “Dave Barry Does Japan,” a hilarious account of his adventures in the Land of the Rising Sun. Through his unique lens, Barry managed to capture the essence of Japanese Culture, while simultaneously poking fun at cultural differences.

Another notable work is “Big Trouble,” a crime novel that seamlessly blends comedy and suspense. This departure from his usual non-fiction work demonstrated Barry’s versatility as an author and garnered critical acclaim. The novel’s success even led to a film adaptation, fur-

cation and emergency personal response systems that ensures a swift response to any in-home emergencies. The agency’s helpline is also accessible round-theclock at: (954)745-9779, providing seniors and family caregivers with answers to any questions about its extensive suite of programs and resources designed to support older adults aging independently in their own homes.

Camp VS. School Is There Enough Value To Camp

By Rabbi Moishe Kievman - Chabad Chayil

With the school year coming to a close, many children are now looking forward to going to camp, while some parents are on the fence. They’re not sure if there’s enough value in camp to justify their investment. Afterall, to run a propper camp is not cheap. Especially with the new inflation on everything, think of what it costs just for eggs! Besides, for some children, they’ve gotten used to and are actually happy to hide behind a mask. In addition to basic social reasons, here’s some food for thought for those parents that may be on the fence.

Camp is the most special time of a child’s year. In a way, it’s the most educational part of their year. Unlike school, where kids are in learning mode and not always excited to go school, camp is fun, full of exciting activities and always looked forward to by all kids! They’re in a great mood and ready to soak things in!

Many kids who have a difficult time memorizing what they learn in school, have a much easier time memorizing camp songs and every silly skit & shtick they see in camp. They remember it with every hand movement, detail & nuance. The same kid who’s failing school is excelling in camp!

For this reason, The Rebbe established the first Camp Gan Israel in New York 67 years ago, with the goal to capture the best of the child’s year and infuse it with good character traits and a noninvasive education that kids look forward to.

Gan means a garden - a pleasurable place to spend time and where things grow. Israel, in addition to being the name of all Jews, is also the name of the Founder of Chassidim, the great Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov. Thus, Camp Gan Israel (CGI or Gan Izzy as it’s lovingly known) is a garden where kids grow in every way, from learning how to be a Mensch to the proper way for a Jew to tie his shoes.

Between overnight camps and day

Cooking, Sports, Arts & Crafts, Boating, Survival, Crazy Science, Kabala 101, Team Building, Field Trips & Tons of Fun!

When Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov was a child of five years old, his father said to him: “My son, have no fear from anyone, except G-d. Love every Yid, whoever he may be and however he may be, with all the fire of your soul!” These two thingsThe Rebbe taught - fear of G-d and love of our fellow man, accompanied the Baal Shem Tov throughout his life and was the

ming lessons with professional instructors to encouraging kids to play a sport that they’re not yet good at. From animal therapy to exploring new kinds of art, children are fully immersed in exploring new experiences. And when kids learn to let go of fears together with other kids, there’s a magical bond that develops between them! A bond that is sure to last a lifetime!

Kiddie Camp is for preschoolers aged 18 months through 4 years old, while the regular camp is for boys and girls ages 5

to 12. You can find a Camp Gan Israel in just about every county in Florida, with 2 dozen chapters right here in South Florida alone! To learn more about the camp, go to: www.ChabadChayil.org/camp - Or call: (305) 770-1919.

About The Author Rabbi Kievman together with his wife are the ambassadors of The Rebbe to Highland Lakes, FL. They are the founders of CHAP - an afterschool program for Jewish children in Public Schools and direct Chabad Chayil. He’s the Rabbi at The Family Shul and can be reached at: (305) 770-1919.

ernment has shamelessly exploited in order to justify its power grabs and acclimate the citizenry to a state of Martial Law disguised as emergency powers.

These attempts to use various crises to override the Constitution are still happening.

It doesn’t even matter what the nature of the crisis might be: civil unrest, the national emergencies, “unforeseen economic collapse, loss of functioning political and legal order, purposeful domestic resistance or insurgency, pervasive Public Health Emergencies, and Catastrophic Natural and Human Disasters.”

They have all become fair game to a government that continues to quietly assemble, test and deploy emergency powers, a long laundry list of terrifying powers that override the Constitution and can be activated at a moment’s notice.

We’re talking about lockdown powers (at both the Federal and State Levels): the ability to suspend the Constitution, indefinitely detain American citizens, bypass the courts, quarantine whole communities or segments of the population, override the First Amendment by outlawing religious gatherings and assemblies of more than a few people, shut down entire industries and manipulate the economy, muzzle dissidents, “stop and seize any plane, train or automobile to stymie the spread of contagious disease,” reshape financial markets, create a digital currency (and thus further restrict the use of cash), determine who should live or die.

While these are powers the police state has been working to make permanent,

they barely scratch the surface of the farreaching powers the government has unilaterally claimed for itself without any pretense of being reined in or restricted in its power grabs by Congress, the courts or the citizenry.

As David C. Unger, observes in The Emergency State: America’s Pursuit of Absolute Security at All Costs, “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness have given way to permanent crisis management.”

The seeds of this ongoing madness were sown several decades ago when George W. Bush stealthily issued two presidential directives that granted the president the power to unilaterally declare a national emergency, which is loosely defined as “any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions.”

Comprising the country’s Continuity of Government (COG) plan, these directives (National Security Presidential Directive 51 and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 20), which do not need congressional approval, provide a skeletal outline of the actions the president will take in the event of a “national emergency.”

Just what sort of actions the president will take once he declares a national emergency can barely be discerned from the barebones directives. However, one thing is clear: in the event of a national emergency, the COG directives give unchecked executive, legislative and judicial power to the president.

The country would then be subjected to martial law by default, and the Constitution and the Bill of Rights would

be suspended. Essentially, the president would become a dictator for life.

It has happened already.

As we have witnessed in recent years, that national emergency can take any form, can be manipulated for any purpose and can be used to justify any end goal— all on the say-so of the president.

The emergency powers that we know about which presidents might claim during such states of emergency are vast, ranging from imposing martial law and suspending habeas corpus to shutting down all forms of communications, including implementing an internet kill switch, and restricting travel.

Yet according to documents obtained by the Brennan Center, there may be many more secret powers that presidents may institute in times of so-called crisis without oversight from Congress, the courts, or the public.

Remember, these powers do not expire at the end of a president’s term. They remain on the books, just waiting to be used or abused by the next political demagogue.

So, too, every action taken by the current occupant of the White House and his predecessors to weaken the system of checks and balances, sidestep the rule of law, and expand the power of the Executive Branch Of Government makes us that much more vulnerable to those who would abuse those powers in the future.

These presidential powers—acquired through the use of Executive Orders, Decrees, Memorandums, Proclamations, National Security Directives and Legislative Signing Statements and which can be activated by any sitting presi-

dent—enable past, president and future presidents to operate above the law and beyond the reach of the Constitution.

This is what you might call a stealthy, creeping, silent, slow-motion coup d’état.

If we continue down this road, there can be no surprise about what awaits us at the end.

We must recalibrate the balance of power.

For starters, Congress should put an end to the use of Presidential Executive Orders, Decrees, Memorandums, Proclamations, National Security Directives and Legislative Signing Statements as a means of getting around Congress and the courts.

At a minimum, as The Washington Post suggests, “all emergency declarations should expire automatically after three or six months, whereupon Congress would need to vote upon any proposed extension.”

We’ve got to start making both the president and the police state play by the rules of the Constitution.

As I point out in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, it must start with “we the people.”

Understanding the intricacies of Insurance Policies is crucial for protecting one’s Assets. Here are the top Insurance Policies recommended by AAA for Comprehensive Coverage during Hurricane Season:

Homeowner’s Insurance: While this policy covers Wind Damage to your property, it does not extend to Flood Damage caused by rising water. Homeowners are strongly advised to acquire separate Flood Insurance Policies to ensure full

Flood Insurance: Flooding is a common and devastating consequence of Severe Weather, often causing extensive damage. AAA emphasizes that Flood Insurance is essential for all homeowners, regardless of their property’s Flood Zone Classification. Waiting until a storm forms can be perilous, as new Flood Insurance Policies issued through FEMA have a Mandatory 30-day waiting period.

Comprehensive Auto Coverage: To safeguard against potential Vehicle Damage from fallen trees, Flooding, or Hail during a Hurricane, AAA advises Motorists to ensure they have Comprehensive Auto Coverage. It is important to note that Vehicle Damage is not automatically covered under Homeowner’s Policies.

Travel Insurance: For those planning

against unforeseen disruptions caused by Severe Weather. Policies are available to reimburse covered losses resulting from flight delays, cancellations, and nonrefundable deposits on hotels, cruises, and excursions.

Steps For Homeowners To Take Immediately

In addition to acquiring appropriate Insurance Coverage, AAA emphasizes the importance of taking proactive steps to protect one’s property and ensure a smooth Claims Process. Here are some vital actions that Homeowners should undertake without delay:

Review Your Insurance Coverage: Schedule a comprehensive review of your Homeowner’s Insurance Policy with a Licensed Agent. Evaluate the adequacy of your coverage, discuss deductibles, and verify that recent home upgrades, such as pools, screen enclosures, and fences, are appropriately protected.

Document And Store Essential

Information: Store your Insurance and Flood Policy numbers on your Mobile Phone for quick access during emergencies. Familiarize yourself with various methods of filing Claims, including Online Platforms or Mobile Apps, to expedite the process. Additionally, maintain a thorough inventory of your belongings by recording a video or taking pictures, noting important details such as receipts, purchase dates, and model numbers.

Preserve Important Documents: Store vital documents, including: Birth Certificates, Social Security Cards, and Insurance Policy information, in a portable waterproof container. This precaution ensures these valuable records remain safe from Water Damage during a Hurricane.

The Significance of Flood Insurance

The destructive power of flooding cannot be underestimated, as evidenced by the historic floods that ravaged South Florida earlier this year. AAA emphasizes that Catastrophic Flood Damage can occur regardless of one’s residence being in a High-Risk Flood Zone. The organization strongly advocates for all Floridians to consider obtaining Flood Insurance, stressing that delaying this decision until a

Facts About Flood Insurance

To emphasize the importance of Flood Insurance, AAA presents key facts that shed light on the magnitude of flood-related losses and the significance of proper Coverage:

• Annual Flood Damage exceeds $5 Billion nationwide on average, making it the most costly Natural Disaster in the United States.

• In 2022, the National Flood Insurance Program processed over 54,000 Claims, providing Policyholders with over $1.6 Billion in Coverage.

• Hurricane Ian alone resulted in more than 46,000 Claims and $1.5 Billion in Policy Coverage.

• Surprisingly, almost 40% of Flood Insurance Claims originate from homes located outside High-Risk Flood Zones.

• Repairing just one inch of Water Damage in a home can cost over $25,000.

• Flood Insurance Policyholders received an average Claim payment of $68,000 between 2016 and 2021, which never requires repayment.

As Floridians bask in the Summer sun, the specter of Hurricanes looms large.

This recent comprehensive Survey exposes alarming statistics surrounding Hurricane Preparedness and highlights the pressing need for proper Insurance Coverage. By prioritizing Safety and securing the right Insurance Policies, Floridians can protect their homes, vehicles, and travel plans from the devastating effects of Severe Weather. Flood Insurance emerges as a critical component of Comprehensive Coverage, as flooding can occur anywhere in the state. By taking immediate action and ensuring they have adequate coverage, Floridians can navigate Hurricane Season with peace of mind, confident that they are well-equipped to weather any storm.

Make The Summer “PURR-FECT”

Here Are Some Fun Ideas To Do With Your Furry Friend

Americans are no strangers to spending money on their pets and summer is the “purr-fect” time for families to spoil their furry family members.

In fact, pet parents are taking greater initiative in providing for their pets’ health and lifestyle. In 2022, Americans spent $136 Billion on their pets, up more than 10% from 2021, according to the American Pet Products Association. Here are some fun ideas to do with your furry friend this summer:

Get Outside Going for a walk, heading to a dog park or simply running in the backyard can all provide fun, engaging ways for pets to get outside and enjoy some sunshine. Join in on the action with a game of fetch using your pet’s favorite ball or toy so you can bond with your furry friend all while getting a little exercise.

Feed Pets Their Favorite Foods

Feeding your dog the best food possible, like fresh food, has become increasingly popular. A veterinary-formulated option like Pure Balance Pro+, which can be found at WalMart, has its own fresh dog food and is a healthy and affordable option to keep pups satisfied.

Plan A Playdate

Inviting a friend or family member who has his or her own furry friend gives your pet an opportunity to play with another animal while you enjoy catching up with your own companion. Whether you’re in the backyard or at a dog park, it’s an outof-the-norm experience for pets that allows them to socialize, play and make the day feel special.

Florida Pet Owners Prepared To Pay A $5,000 Premium To Rent With Their Pets

Having a pet, and renting a property, poses challenges. Landlords are often reluctant to allow them - barking, shredded cushions, scratched furniture being some of the reasons. Renters have it tough enough as it is, with landlords always having the upper hand in the situation, so it seems a shame that pets are often not made to feel welcome in a rented property. A survey of 3,000 petowning tenants by www.AgentAdvice.com has revealed the extent to which they are prepared to pay to live with their pets.

The survey found that 82% of pet owners would be willing to pay an additional fee to keep their furry friend in the rental property with them. The average Florida pet-owning renter would be prepared to pay a whopping $5,006 annually to live with their pet!

However, the study also revealed that a significant proportion want the best of both worlds - that is - to continue living with their pets, but not having to pay any premium in order to do so. www.AgentAdvice.com discovered that in Florida, 19% of pet-owning renters admit to not disclosing this to their landlords (equating to 504,684 illegal pets)that’s a lot of barking to try and cough over, or scratched table legs to try and cover up. The guiltiest pet owners are in Vermont, with the percentage of households hiding illegal pets reaching 50%, or 36,791 furry friends. The most law-abiding pet-owning renters live in Indiana, where the figure is just 4%, or 32,400 pets.

The research also revealed that two thirds thought it was fair for landlords to ask tenants to leave the property if it turned out they had pets which were not permitted. But sadly, the challenge of finding a rental property which allows pets discourages 58% of people from getting a

lenging and engaging day of play, set up an obstacle course for them to explore together.

Looking For A Furry Friend - Adopt

Are you looking for a wonderful family dog who loves everyone she meets? If so, Raven (ID A667690) is the gal for you. At 4 years old, and 65 pounds, she was sadly given up because the newborn baby is allergic. Raven loves belly rubs and if you have a pool, don’t be surprised if you see her in it doing laps. She likes to play fetch, will sleep in her own bed at night, is super sweet and is good with other dogs.

people may lose Medicaid and CHIP Coverage.

About 45% of this group -- 6.8 million people -- will likely remain eligible for Medicaid. They’ll just need to reconfirm their eligibility for the program with their state Medicaid Agency.

Many beneficiaries are unaware of this requirement. They may ignore phone calls or letters from the state seeking to verify their eligibility. Or they may have moved and neglected to update their address with the state. In the end, they can be purged from Medicaid without knowing.

About 8.2 million Medicaid enrollees will need to find Replacement Coverage. Many will be able to do so through work. HHS Projects that about 5 million will

Handsome Bevo (ID 651929) wants a family to love. After having a home since he was a kitten, this fellow who is just 1.5 years old now, is in search of another family to call his home. Bevo is a gorgeous cocoa and white, golden-eyed kitty who doesn’t understand why he could not

move with his family. This has not affected his loving personality, as he still is a curious explorer who thrives with attention. Bevo enjoys interactive play, treats, and a lot of petting and cuddling. Bevo will be a wonderful addition to a loving, attentive home.

To meet a pet, complete the pre-adoption application at: www.humanebroward.com and then stop by the Humane Society of Broward County located at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33312. The Adoption Kennels open daily at 11:00 a.m. and if you have questions, call: (954) 989-3977. Extension: 6. If you can’t adopt, the shelter has a wish list on Amazon where you can purchase a wish and have it sent to the shelter.

Another 2.7 million will likely be able to get Subsidized Coverage through the Affordable Care Act’s Exchanges. More than 60% of that group, HHS estimates, could qualify for Zero-Premium Plans. Of course, it can be difficult to wade through all the Insurance options on the exchanges -- or to figure out how to Confirm Eligibility for Medicaid.

Licensed, Professional Agents and Brokers can help these millions of folks weigh their Health Insurance options. They have the knowledge and expertise to assist people with Re-Enrolling in Medicaid, if eligible -- or to claim all the subsidies to which they may be entitled through the exchanges. Better yet, their services are generally free for consumers.

Services, Agents and Brokers account for 71% of Exchange Enrollees. Consumers find their advice extremely valuable. A study from the Urban Institute found that 80% of adults who received external information about the exchanges said Insurance Agents and Brokers were more helpful than other resources. As states begin to cull their Medicaid Rolls, it’s critical that those who have relied on the program over the last few years understand all the Affordable Health Insurance options that remain available to them. Agents and Brokers can ensure that they do.

“Caring for a pet is a responsibility that requires commitment and dedication, yet the current rental market often makes it challenging for pet owners to find suitable and affordable accommodations. Discriminatory pet policies and limited pet-friendly options not only place an undue burden on renters, but also deny them the joy and companionship that pets bring to their lives” says Chris Heller of AgentAdvice.com.

www.AgentAdvice.com have provided 4 tips for convincing your landlord to allow you to have a pet in your rental:

1. Talk To Your Landlord

Getting permission to have a pet as a renter can be difficult as landlords may include a “No Pets” clause in the lease to maintain control over how many pets are in their properties. However, if you have a good relationship with your landlord and are a responsible tenant, you may be able

documentation on your prospective pet’s health history and training plans can strengthen your case. Many landlords will make exceptions for excellent tenants who are positive contributors to the rental community.

2. Be Flexible To convince your landlord to allow a pet in your rental, it’s important to be flexible with your pet choices. Many landlords have restrictions on the type or size of pets allowed due to noise or potential damage. If your landlord approves a pet with certain restrictions, consider being more selective in your choice of pet. However, if you have a good relationship with your landlord, it’s possible they may make exceptions for a responsible and reliable tenant. So don’t be afraid to have a conversation about your pet.

3. Providing Documentation If you’re a pet owner looking to move

tional documentation can help show your landlord that you’re a responsible pet owner. This may include a letter from your current landlord, vet records, training records, and spay/neuter records. By demonstrating that your pet is wellbehaved and non-disruptive, you can alleviate any concerns your landlord may have about potential property damage or disturbance to other renters.

4. Offer To Pay More To convince your landlord to allow a pet, offering to pay extra in the form of a deposit or monthly charge can show that you are committed to being a responsible pet owner. While some pet-friendly rentals have upfront policies regarding deposits or rent surcharges, it’s possible to convince some landlords who don’t allow pets to make exceptions if you offer to pay extra. However, pet deposits can be expensive, so be sure to have the necessary budget before making the offer.

Half of renters are put off pet ownership due to the challenges they would have keeping them

The State Of The City Part II: The Budget And Many City Issues Are In Focus

This is Part II of the series of “The State of the City Address” and I do hope that you enjoy it. It reviews the Budget and covers many of the issues our City Manager and the Commission are addressing. It has been kept in speech form.

I spoke last year about the American Recovery Plan. Putting partisan politics aside President Biden and Congress took measures to help get our country through COVID-19. He actually saved many cities across the nation to stave off bankruptcy. We used ARPA and spread it over three years as part of our plan. Remember when we set out on this recovery, ARPA was not even a reality.

Our City Commission, City Manager and our Staff adopted and stuck with the stabilization plan. It has moved us forward and as of last year, I am proud to announce that we passed a balanced Budget without the use of reserves. Finally, Stability.

It did not come easy and with a very tough political decision to increase our Millage Rate. Those of you that have gotten to know me, understand I am straight forward when it comes to tough issues. Without Taxes and Fees, we simply cannot provide services. They are intricately intertwined.

Cuts in Taxes are great that is why so many elected officials promise they want to cut Taxes. But they fail to tell you on the other hand what else they will cut.

Another poor political strategy is doing nothing to maintain Services or Infrastructure. This shows a lack of leadership and vision. This flaw combined with past economic downturns got our City into a financial wreck.

Last year, I briefed the Chamber about this robust plan. The first strategy included putting in place the establishment of Cross Departmental Teams to address every aspect of the City. No more operational silos.

Financially, we adopted these strategies. A Hiring Freeze. Filling Vacancies was put on hold, except for vacant Police and essential Staff positions. As we know there continues to be social and civil unrest over policing. I am standing here today and very proud of the changes we have made to address those issues far ahead of many Cities.

We started years ago, when I asked for support to install cameras at all our parks and focus on technology. The next measures were Police Body Cameras brought forward by Commissioner Michele Lazarow. Proof that leadership absolutely matters, was the fact that our department became weak and rudderless.

We were down to over 22 officers. At that time, Vice Mayor Annabelle LimaTaub ran on a Public Safety Platform. When I returned to the Dais we joined

Juneteenth Celebration

At The ArtsPark At Young Circle In Downtown Hollywood

Juneteenth is an historic celebration among African Americans that honors the announcement of the end of Slavery.

Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when Federal Troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people were freed. The troops’ arrival came a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth is considered the longest-running African American Holiday. On June 17, 2021, it officially became a Federal Holiday.

The Celebration will be held tomorrow, Friday, June 16th, 2023 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the ArtsPark at Young Circle in Downtown Hollywood. This family and community event is FREE and open to the public and will feature a variety of entertainers.

The City’s African American Advisory Council and Department Of Parks, Recreation And Cultural Arts for a Juneteenth Celebration will feature:

forces and said no more. Our residents deserve a safe community, and it is our highest duty to ensure it.

The City Manager appointed our new Chief Michel Michel, a veteran of our Department. He is dedicated to Community Policing and trained under one of our Greatest Chiefs, Tom Magill. We became an Accredited Department. This year marks our 5 years of Accreditation.

Currently, we have filled many vacancies and have 94 uniformed officers. We increased uniform patrols to 100 with new hires in the pipeline.

The next financial stability measure was adding only positions tied to Revenue generating activities.

Examples of these types of positions are the Building Department, Permitting and Code Enforcement.

The Commission stood firm and even made the toughest decision to increase the Tax Rate last year to 82 mills. While this was not great news it was the right thing to do to secure the future of the City. In all, it equated to approximately $6 Million Dollars per Mill.

We used the first tranche of ARPA of $9 Million Dollars of Relief. This Budget, we used $4.9 Million and another $4.9 Million will be used this year. So, what does last year’s Budget look like and what has changed? Our General Fund budget is $98 Million Dollars. So, the biggest question I am always asked is what about all the new developments? What about property value increases? Are you going to cut Taxes? There is a two-part answer to this.

Last year’s overall City property increase was 10%, but not all of these increases go to the General Fund. It is true that new sales and new development pay the full rate and 10% is a great number.

The CRA receives contributions from the General Fund that comes from all properties and new Redevelopments west of 14th Avenue. Last year, this amount was $12 Million. As with every business we have Operating Costs that are fixed and must be paid. While this slide is pretty

hard to read. The bottom line is $98 Million Dollars.

The cost to drivers of this year included; The CRA Contribution. Renewal and Replacement Program for City Facilities and Fleet Replacement, were programs that were adopted back into our Budget. Meaning two cans not kicked down the road.

The BSO Contract, Motor Fuels and other employee costs such as Health Care, Cost Of Living and the General Employee, Police and Fire Pensions. The increase in General Fund Operating Costs last year increased approximately $12 Million Dollars. Revenues, which include the 10% increase, were approximately $12 Million in Revenues.

So, you can see that increases in value compared to our costs create a very tight Budget scenario. So, like you, we are always looking at ways to either cut costs or generate other Revenues.

Part III next week, includes Revenue.

Natural Skin & Wound Care Solutions

Save Time & Money With “Clean” Alternatives

Many people look for natural products with “clean” ingredients, especially in the Food, Beverage, Skin Care and Beauty Categories. In fact, the market for clean label ingredients is projected to reach $64.1 Billion by 2026, according to Allied Market Research.

For many common ailments or minor injuries, there’s a natural treatment that can be used in place of hard-topronounce ingredients and preservatives.

“This same kind of clean ingredient demand is migrating to the First-Aid space with many of these natural alternatives being used to treat anything from scrapes and bug bites to wound odor and pulled or sore muscles,” said Dr. Billy Goldberg, a “New York Times” BestSelling Author and Emergency Room Physician. “In fact, some companies are beginning to incorporate these kinds of natural and efficacious ingredients right into their products.”

Goldberg and the First-Aid experts at CURAD, which have made adhesive bandages since 1951, offer these suggestions for natural ingredients you can use at home to treat common ailments:

Baking Soda

Bicarbonate of soda, commonly known as Baking Soda, can be used for more than baking. From removing stains to cleaning teeth and more, it can also be used to help treat a variety of wounds. In addition to being an odor absorber, it can be applied to insect stings and bites, such as those from bees or mosquitoes.

Whether making a paste using Baking Soda and water then applying to the bite

or using an option like CURAD Naturals adhesive bandages featuring baking soda, the chemical compound can help soothe the skin. In addition to absorbing wound odor, the bandages provide skin-friendly comfort and stretch with a four-sided seal to keep dirt and germs out.

Epsom Salt

Named for a bitter Saline Spring at Epsom in Surrey, England, Epsom Salt is not actually Salt but a naturally occurring

Mineral Compound of Magnesium Sulfate.

Long known as a natural remedy for several ailments, Epsom Salt can be used to relax Muscles and Relieve Pain in the shoulders, neck and back. It can also be applied to sunburns or dissolved in the bath to help relieve Sore Muscles or Detox.

Aloe Vera Few things soothe sunburn like Aloe Vera. With analgesic, anti-inflammatory and soothing properties that ease the healing process, Aloe Vera Gel contains Phytochemicals that help reduce pain and inflammation. Also helpful in the healing process of cuts and scrapes, the CURAD Naturals line of adhesive bandages are infused with Aloe Vera in the wound pad and surface of the bandage, which is enriched with the Antioxidant Vitamin E to help soothe and moisturize skin.

Hydrogen Peroxide

A mild antiseptic that can be used to prevent infection of minor cuts, scrapes and burns, Hydrogen Peroxide is often used for the initial cleaning of wounds. Simply apply a small amount on the

affected area - alternating with water to avoid killing good bacteria - to help release oxygen, which causes foaming that aids in cleaning and the removal of dead skin.

Manuka Honey

A Honey native to New Zealand, Manuka Honey contains Methylglyoxal as an active ingredient and has unique antibacterial properties that speed healing and help prevent and fight infections when applied as a topical wound treatment. It may also help soothe coughs and sore throats, prevent tooth decay and improve digestive issues.
