Florida life is all about the good life so weekend getaways are important! We wanted to share this destination as it is very popular for Florida residents to want to escape our tropical paradise for a different lifestyle now and then. Tennessee is one of the top destinations for  a mountain getaway  with an inexpensive plane flight and travel time under an hour and a half. It is also realistic to make the 12 drive for a longer stay. Many Florida residents are buying second homes so they can enjoy a diverse life style. If you are considering a Tennessee purchase please contact our team and enjoy this fun podcast.

Our property appraiser's office is a wealth of information for our residents. Dorothy Jacks is
our current appraiser and her efforts to be fair to homeowners keeps our residents happy and promotes homeownership in our county! But the funds collected are important to our community and fund our county programs along with our firefighters and police officers. So her job is quite important and a fine line balance must take place.

Dorothy wants to bring awareness to two amendments on the current ballot that are real estate related and should be supported.

Amendment 5 :

Proposing an amendment to the State Constitution, effective date January 1, 2021, to increase, from 2 years to 3 years, the period of time during which accrued Save-Our-Homes benefits may be transferred from a prior homestead to a new homestead.

This will extend the portability  from 2 years to 3 years which is a more realistic time frame and encourages families that are upsizing or downsizing to more expensive homes to make the move and save on their property taxes.

Amendment 6:

Ad Valorem Tax Discount for Spouses of Certain Deceased Veterans who had Permanent, Combat-related Disabilities

This would amend Section 6 of Article 7 of the Florida Constitution to allow a homestead property tax discount to be transferred to the surviving spouse of a deceased veteran. This would be in effect until the spouse remarries, sells or disposes of the property.

This allows spouses of deceased vets to stay in their homes and not get a large property tax increase.

The appraisers office has an amazing website and you can even calculate what your proposed property tax will be on a home you may consider buying or look at nearby sales if you maybe selling!

In our interview with Lauren Perry  we find out about the famous Henry Flagler and the Flagler Museum in Palm Beach. There are some interesting facts including what Henry brought to Palm Beach aside from the historic museum and also new things that the museum is up to. This home was built for his third wife and was called the "White House" after Henry's death it was sold to a developer that made it a hotel on the intracoastal but Henry's granddaughter was able to purchase it back and lovingly restored it and endowed it as a museum that captures the true essence of Palm Beach in its early days.  To visit the museum or become a member please visit the website: https://flaglermuseum.us/

Just another reason to love Palm Beach. Stay tuned for the next episode.

Fun in the sun! Sun protection!
 

Skin cancer is on the rise! Statistics showed that more than 3 million Americans develop skin cancer each year.  Most cases involve basal and squamous cell carcinomas (which are rarely fatal, but disfiguring). But, an estimated 91,000 people will be diagnosed with melanoma, and 9,000 Americans will die from it. It is nothing to be taken lightly!

When looking for sunscreen, you want to look for SPF which rates how it protects you from the UVB rays. For UVA rays look for Broad Spectrom sunscreen

Two classes of ingredients provides the UVA protection. For safety reasons, You want to select the Mineral sunscreen: zinc oxide, titanium dioxide. The mineral sunscreen doesn’t absorb into your body like chemical sunscreen and is well tolerated by people with sensitive skin. It is also recommended for children and babies. 

Besides the active ingredients, there are inactive ingredients that are used to make the product feel like other cosmetics.You also want to check those ingredients, ingredients like fragrance, paraben, Retinyl palmitate, or vitamin A. are among the list of ingredients that pose harmful effects on our body and need to be avoided.

Rescue

We rescue sick, injured, or orphaned native Florida wildlife. 

The Sanctuary is a non-profit organization that serves Palm Beach County. We rely on the public to bring injured wildlife to our wildlife hospital. Over the years, we have rescued deer, foxes, screech owls, hawks, bald eagles, squirrels, birds, and many others. Our volunteer rescue team is sent out to rescue animals that the public can't, such as raccoons, great blue herons, bobcats, foxes, etc...

When rescuing a wild animal:

When rescuing a wild animal your first thought may be to comfort the creature and provide it with food.  However, handling an injured animal can cause stress, and feeding can often cause harm.  The diets of wild animals are very complex, so it is better to do as little as possible until you can get the animal to a wildlife rehabilitation facility.  

LAST YEAR WE HAD OVER 5,200 PATIENTS COME INTO OUR HOSPITAL!

Our hospital staff works hard to take care of the many wildlife patients in our hospital. They feed the orphaned wildlife, perform examinations, administer medication, and much more. At certain times, our staff are taking care of more than 75 animals. All patients are examined upon the end of treatment and are assessed whether or not they can be released back into the wild.

What to do when you have found an injured animal:

 Call Busch Wildlife Sanctuary for assistance at 561-575-3399

1. Use common sense and think of your safety first
2. Try to contain the animal
3. Keep the animal warm & quiet
4. Do not pet or handle the animal
5. Do not try to feed or give water to the animal

Well if we can not have "fun in the sun" we can plan the hurricane party! Severe storm expert Cris Martinez says being prepared is the key to staying safe and stress free during storms and maybe even squeezing in a little fun. A main component is to know what zone you are located in. Also they happen a lot less frequently here in Palm Beach County than people think!  We just escaped out first close call lets hope we are storm free through November!
