There's a New Way to Recycle in Margate!It’s the “All-In-One” System known as “single-stream” recycling

Place these items in your single-stream cart or bin(s):• Newspapers, inserts, catalogs, magazines, junk mail, office paper, soft-covered books, file … (0 comments)

All About manatees - 08/15/11 06:05 PM
Manatees are large, slow-moving marine mammals of the Order Sirenia. The Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) is a subspecies of the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus). The word “manatee” comes from the Spanish word “manati,” although the true origination of the word may date from the native Puerto Rican Taino people, whose translation means “ma” (big) “nati” (chest).
A city named Manatí is located on the north central coast of Puerto Rico (named "Boriken" prior to Spanish discovery) where the name of this marine mammal, "alude directamente al nombre indígena de la ciudad," alludes to the indigenous name of the City.

Thousands of Fla. mortgage brokers flee industry - 08/15/11 05:28 PM
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- During the Florida real estate boom of the mid-2000s, one of the most lucrative ways to make a living -- or commit fraud -- was to be a mortgage broker.
More than 82,000 Floridians were licensed just four years ago, but the collapse of the housing market, stronger licensing requirements and background checks, and tougher loan requirements have cut that number by roughly 90 percent: the state currently licenses about 10,600 loan originators, as the profession is now called.
Most got out of the business or moved elsewhere. Some of the small percentage who committed crimes went … (1 comments)

prescription drug deaths rise in 2010 - 08/15/11 05:20 PM
New data shows that prescription drug deaths in Florida increased nearly 9 percent last year compared to 2009 despite aggressive efforts by law enforcement to educate people about the dangers and to crack down on illegal distribution.
Gov. Rick Scott said Monday he believes stronger legislation and regulation, along with more money for police, is helping in 2011. Data isn't available for the first half of this year, but Scott said he hopes the numbers will start to decline. He signed a new law in June that penalizes doctors who overprescribe painkillers, tightens rules for operating pharmacies and authorizes a prescription-drug … (0 comments)

Prune Your Trees This Year? - 08/15/11 05:09 PM
Prune Your Trees This Year? That is what the City of Parkland is asking all residents to do to prepare their yards for the upcoming hurricane season. Consult with a Broward County licensed and insured tree trimmer and have your trees properly pruned to minimize tree and property damage. The City hopes to avoid what happened in prior years. A threatening hurricane spurs residents to aggressively cut back trees and shrubs, leaving piles of debris that the City cannot clear before the storm arrives. Under the City’s contract with Waste Management, pruning materials can be placed curb side during normal collection … (1 comments)

The eighth month of the year is one of starts and finishes.

But as one door closes, another opens, as parents and children prepare for a new school year, office workers trade summer casual for button-up sand closed-toe and we all sweep the sand off their shoes and gets ready … (3 comments)

Window and Door Protection: Storm Shutters - 08/11/11 05:12 PM
With hurricane season right around the corner, our experiences of the past have taught us many lessons. One of them was that storm shutters can pose life threatening barriers to exiting a burning building resulting in avoidable injury and death. If shutters are left in place when they are clearly not needed, lives are at risk.
An ordinance exists prohibiting residents of occupied dwellings from leaving shutters in place in excess of 10 consecutive days after the storm watch or warning has been lifted.

Since September 1, 1994, building codes in effect in Broward County have required that all openings … (1 comments)
