Not only that, it’s the highest number in any month of all records shown which started in January, 2008. There have been 365 single-family building permits issued so far in 2014. Total construction value for August, 2014 was $ 36,654,081, which includes all construction, not just single-family homes. That also is a record, as it’s the highest total construction value since August, 2006. Reference: Brevard County Building Code Newsletter: http://www.brevardcounty.us/PlanningDev/ BuildingCode/BldgNewsletters Suicide and Homeless - On Friday, September 12th, Florida Today had an article, “Famous or family suicide: Let's talk about what hurts,” on the effects of suicide on families. Belinda Steward, 2-1-1 communications manager and former Florida Today Writer, explained how suicide had affected her life. The story made some informa- tion I received even more relevant. I attended a meeting of the Community Health Partnership on Wednesday, September 10th, where I was given a paper that had statistics on Suicide and Homelessness in Brevard. I was stunned when I read that suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S., and the third leading cause in the state of Florida. In 2013, there were 125 suicide deaths in Brevard. In Brevard County, over 47% of children are living in poverty, up 17% from 2010. There are over 2,200 homeless students living in our county, but 33% of those were withdrawn from school to unknown areas. I assume they moved from the county. The homeless rate for children has increased 300% since 2009. This is not acceptable. My heartfelt thanks to the non-profits that take on this task of care and help for the victims.

The Palm Beach Post, in a September 11 story titled “New foreclosures in Florida increase for first time in 17 months,” said RealtyTrac reported 6,468 Florida Foreclosures, a 74% increase from July. The following gets very complicated, and shows a very dark side of what the Florida government is really doing to homeowners. Although I got the following from the Tampa Bay Tribune, the Editor states it was actually published by The Center for Public Integrity, (publicintegrity. org), a nonprofit, nonpartisan investigative news organization in Washington, D.C. In this September 10 story titled, “Rush to Clear Foreclosure Backlog Costs Homeowners,” it states that the Florida Legislature and Florida Supreme Court have told judges to clear the dockets of foreclosures, so judges are pushing tens of thousands of properties over to banks, even when the banks and homeowners have both asked for more time due to negotiations.

Exp. 10/31/14 “Florida's so-called foreclosure initiative was launched in July, 2013, when the state Legislature and Budget Commission together allocated $36 million of the $334 million the state won when it settled previous allegations of foreclosure fraud against the five biggest banks.” “The state Supreme Court set a target of disposing of 256,000 foreclosure cases each year for three years. That works out to about 700 cases per day — if everyone works weekends and vacation days. The courts have hired retired judges solely to hear foreclosures and case managers to move cases forward. These clerks and judges schedule hearings and trials even if the parties don't want them.” What is really bad is that in Florida, federal law doesn’t seem to make a difference. In the story, one homeowner, “argued that new federal regulations barred JPMorgan from foreclosing because Lopez had asked for a loan modification.” Judge Karl Grube stated the federal law doesn’t apply in Florida. The judge stated it was a state court and it was questionable whether a We Do Facial Waxing! SHAMPOO/SET - $12 ~ (reg $15) Call & Make Your Appointment Today with Marlene & Lauren state judge could follow federal law. Is that ridiculous or what? In the story, “Lynn Drysdale of Jacksonville Area Legal Aid said she and many other lawyers have reported such incidents to the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but the agency declined to comment.” "They dealt with it as a court system problem," said Mike Fasano, a former Republican lawmaker from New Port Richey who opposed the two bills passed last year to clear the foreclosure backlog. "It was, How can we speed up forcing people out of their homes?” Please read the second reference (www.tampabay.com) below. I only covered a small part of a very complicated article. I didn’t go into detail on how judges are ignoring homeowners who are trying to stay in their homes. I didn’t go into how those same judges are allowing banks to use fraudulent documents to justify foreclosures. I didn’t even cover how Florida courts are again allowing robo-testifiers, people who have no first-hand knowledge of the court cases, but are taught to testify for banks on how to justify Ingrid’s Cleaning Service We’re family owned and operated with a lifetime of experience.

Courtenay Pkwy, Merritt Island those fraudulent documents during foreclosures. The story made me ashamed I lived in Florida. The story sounded like all the same reasons the Justice Department and 49 states originally sued the five largest mortgage servicers; Citigroup, Ally Financial (formerly GMAC), JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo. The only difference now is it’s our Governor, our state legislature and our Florida court system that have failed us.

(continued, next page) Good Day, cont. According to a story in the Palm Beach Post by Mike Schneider titled, “In Florida, service workers come from elsewhere,” new workers in arts, science, business and management tended to be from New York, Georgia and Asia. New workers in transportation and the service fields came from New York, Georgia and the Caribbean. New workers in sales and office jobs came from New York, Georgia, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. If you’re not in the top 25% highest paying jobs, you are being left behind on income, according to a Palm Beach Post Story by Jeff Ostrowski, titled “FIU study: Florida wage growth flowing to highest-paid workers.” They reviewed Florida International University’s annual State of Working Florida Report, which showed the highest paying jobs in Florida’s pay rose 47% from 1980 to 2013, but if you were in the lowest paying jobs in Florida, pay growth only went up 14%, a heck of a difference. But recent years have done little to help. Even those highest paying jobs didn’t do well in the state of Florida. According to the story, “For instance, the average wage for the top quarter of workers was stagnant over the past decade, barely budging from $88,116 in 2005 to $88,618 in 2013.” No wonder The Tampa Tribune’s story by William Marsh titled, “Job concerns linger in Florida, USF survey finds,” showed jobs was the top issue among Floridians, although it had dropped from 44% to 30%. Makes you wonder if we’ve really been moving in the right direction the last four years.

Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England are an integral part of the United Kingdom, unlike the 54 countries that are members of the British Commonwealth. There has been a surge of politicians in Westminster pointing out the monetary drawbacks, as the Royal Bank of Scotland has said it will immediately relocate to England. Joining the Royal Bank of Scotland are 3 more major banks and Scotland’s major insurance company. They have said if the vote is to leave the United Kingdom, in 3 days they will be gone from Scotland. Mick Jagger wrote an open letter to the people of Scotland saying that, “We value our bonds of citizenship with you…What unites us is greater than what divides us.” There is a “Let’s Stay Together” campaign that boasts some prestigious figures, such as Steven Hawking, Sir Steve Redgrave, Dame Judi Dench and 200 other high profile English and Scots from the worlds of Art, Sport, Literature and Science. Monarchy and Military - Apparently the Queen is very upset. When she became Queen she took an oath to protect her people, which includes the Scots. She has kept her promises of her coronation. She also has Kings and Queens of Scotland in her blood. The Queen’s mother was Scottish. The military in Great Britain has had Scottish Regiments for 300 years. All military swear allegiance to the Queen or King, not to the country, originally done to stop the government from turning the armies on the people. The Scot regiments have been fearless and very loyal to the Queen. They have been in every major battle Britain has been in since they joined the British Army. Their battle honors are extremely impressive. My grandfather fought alongside of a Scot Regiment in World War I. He said as soon as the signal was given to leave the trenches, they would practically jump out, screaming and shouting insults whilst running towards the Germans. The Germans were scared to death and called them “The Ladies from Hell,” referring to the kilts that were worn to battle at that time. Then there are some English that have the attitude of one English journalist, John Polly, who wrote, “The truth is, if we English were given a vote on Scottish independence, there is a strong possibility we would vote YES.” On September 18th the Scots will have their future of Scotland in their own hands. That is how it should be. Next month I will write on the plan the state has for a “Super Region” composed of Orange, Osceola and Brevard Counties.

Local Doctors Help Local Athletes Parrish Medical Group’s (PMG) team of physicians and staff completed 279 sports physicals for area high school students and contributed $2,790 to the students’ athletic programs. Annually, PMG hosts two sports physical events to help student athletes and raise money for their schools. The events were held in May and July in Port St. John and Titusville. This year’s PMG team of physicians who supported the sports physical events included: * Dr. Anthony Allotta, board-certified internist, fellowship trained in sports medicine, and team doctor for Space Coast Junior/Senior High School, Port St. John * Dr. Michael Magee, board-certified orthopedic surgeon and team doctor for Titusville High School * Dr. Erica O’Bryan, board-certified pediatrician * Dr. Julio Pagan, board-certified internist According to the doctors, “This is an opportunity to ensure our student athletes are physically able to compete,” said Dr. Allotta, “If a student has a physical condition that would prevent or prohibit their participation in sports, we can identify that early on.” Dr. Magee said helping local schools is an added plus. “Everyone knows schools can use every dollar they can get, so our program enables us to help local kids and families at lower cost while benefiting their schools.” Dr. O’Bryan stated, “We had a great turn out and I was happy to participate. An event such as this helps ensure safe participation for the athlete at the start of the season, and can help determine necessary accommodations and restrictions to specific activities. The need for further evaluation or testing can also be identified prior to competition to pinpoint or exclude certain conditions that may cause harm.” Dr. Pagan, said, “Helping student athletes stay healthy is a win-win for students, their families and our communities. I'm happy to play a small part in that.” Rialto located at 200 Rialto Place, Melbourne.

Happy Halloween(s)! When my last offspring graduated from high school and joined his siblings by becoming a decent, respectable member of society I thought my days of apologizing for them were over. I should have known better. At a recent family get-together the subject turned to previously secret tales of Halloweens past and I was once again amazed at my darlings’ ability to pull off the most outrageous stunts without my knowledge. My mouth went agape when my first born poked her sister and giggled, “Remember the man who always cracked the door just enough to shove that bowl of candy through, and it was always old leftover Christmas candy, and after you slipped the frog in that bowl he never opened his door on Halloween again?” Daughter number 2 (widening her eyes in a “Shut up, Mom is listening” manner) answered, “I may or may not have been responsible for a toad inadvertently landing in a certain bowl, but you can’t deny kidnapping all the potted plants from Mrs. Smith’s yard and placing them in exactly the same position in Mr. Jones’ yard! Do you realize how hard it was to keep mom occupied long enough for you to finish?” Heir number 3 chimed in with, “You think that was hard, I’m the one who had to convince her you two were mature enough to take the little kids out by yourself the year mom was so sick she almost cancelled Trick or Treating!” Not even noticing my incredulous stare she continued, “It was a good idea to dress them up in overlapping costumes so we could shed one, then come back and hit the same houses twice. But you should have asked Roy if he liked wearing that nightgown. We could have avoided him screaming so loud when we tried to take it off that a police officer stopped to see if we were OK.” While my darlings lost themselves in convulsive laughter I looked to Roy for denial. There wasn’t any. Being the baby and the only boy with 4 sisters, wearing a nightgown was a form of self defense. I have a feeling I will be adding a therapist to my list of people I will be apologizing to. I’m just not sure if it will be his or mine. - Rose Padrick [email protected] Feel the Rhythm of the Night!

Wilmot, daughter of Robert D. Wilmot of Colorado Springs, CO. and Terri L. Wilmot of Cocoa, FL., recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Great Lakes, IL and was recently promoted to her current rank upon graduation for outstanding performance during all phases of the training cycle. Training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is "Battle Stations." This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. "Battle Stations" is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly "Navy" flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor. Wilmot is a 2013 graduate of Space Coast High School of Port St. John, FL. 2014 PSJ Christmas Parade Dear Neighbor, This letter is to invite your organization to participate in the 25thAnnual Port St. John Christmas parade.

Woody's was well known for their good food when they were in Rockledge. Of course the one thing that I remember was their delicious pies and desserts. Their pies were humongous and to die for. I wish them much success. Looking ahead to December, mark your calendar for Thursday, December 11th. We will have our Holiday/Christmas Pot Luck and Crazy Gift Exchange. We will provide the meat and drinks and all you have to do is bring a side dish to share. There will be more information next month so plan on attending. ALL ABOARD OR NOT ALL ABOARD FLORIDA..... This leviathan of big money and commerce is running full steam ahead in spite of growing opposition and safety concerns. All Aboard Florida seems to be turning a deaf ear to the criticisms being voiced by many civic groups, railway experts and government agencies. Their attitude seems to be, say what you want because we are going to do what we (All Aboard Florida) want to do anyway. They have started a television add campaign and now have announced plans to extend service north to Jacksonville and southwest from the Orlando Main Terminal to Tampa. They have awarded the contract for the engines and passenger cars to the Siemens Company. “Our partnership with Siemens is another tremendous step forward for All Aboard Florida. We carefully chose Siemens technology knowing it will set a new industry standard, while providing the world class amenities our customers will expect from our passenger service,” said Don Robinson, All Aboard Florida President and COO. Their manufacturing facility for this type of work is located in California. It is my understanding that AAF cannot begin construction on the airport to Cocoa leg until the Federal Rail Commission releases their Environmental Impact Statement for that section of rail. The study was supposed to be released in June but as of this writing, it seems to be on indefinite hold for some reason. Even with all this delay, AAF is still saying that they will have trains in service in 2016. We will just have to wait and see. Be sure and be on your guard while driving through Port St. John and the Groves this Halloween. Our little ghost, goblins and fairy princesses can pop out of anywhere at any time. It is always better to be safe than sorry. Have a safe Halloween. .......A Parting Shot From The Cannon....... An Elementary School Teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It’s hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders - 6-year-olds - because the last one is a classic! 1. Don’t change horses...until they stop running. 2. Strike while the...bug is close. 3. It’s always darkest before... Daylight Saving Time. 4. Never underestimate the power of... termites. 5. You can lead a horse to water but... how? 6. Don’t bite the hand that... looks dirty. 7.

I wish each and everyone good health and a long and prosperous life here in our beautiful Canaveral Groves and Port St. John. Until next month, Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise, I remain your faithful servant. - Bill Cannon Young Eagles Flight Rally Merritt Island area young people ages 8-17 will have a chance to take to the skies on Saturday, October 18th, as Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 724 hosts a Young Eagles Flight Rally at Merritt Island Airport. The rally is part of the EAA Aviation Foundation’s Young Eagles Program, created to get more young people interested in aviation. Volunteer EAA pilots had a goal of providing one million young people an airplane ride by the 100th Anniversary of Flight, December 17, 2003. To date more than 1,800,000 Young Eagles have experienced the thrill of flight since 1992. (6,370 at Merritt Island Airport) Free airplane rides are just part of the Flight Rally. The pilots hope to build one-on-one relationships between pilots and young people, giving a new generation a chance to learn more about possibilities that exist in the world of aviation. Pilots at the event will also explain more about their airplanes, allowing young people to discover how airplanes work and how pilots ensure safety before every flight. All pilots and planes are certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Following the flight, each young person will receive a certificate making him or her an official Young Eagle. Their name will then be entered into the “World’s Largest Logbook”, which is on permanent display at the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, WI. The Logbook is also accessible on the internet at www.youngeagles. org. Young people and their parents attending the flight rally on October 18th, 2014 are asked to come to the large hangar at the end of Airport Road (2 miles south of SR 520 on S. Courtney Parkway). Registration will start at 8:30 am and will close at noon. Flights will begin at 9:00 am. A parent or guardian must sign a permission form for each young person. No reservations are required or accepted. Young Eagles will fly in First Come, First Flown order. Flights will last approximately 20 minutes. Additional information about EAA, the EAA Aviation Foundation and Young Eagles is available on the internet at www.eaa.org. Call 321-266-7410 or 321-452-5847 and leave us a message; we will return your call.

As you may or may not know, our good friend Conley Jordan has had his hip replaced. He did well in surgery and is recovering at The Health Center of Merritt Island. Conley wanted to thank everyone for all the cards and calls wishing him well and a speedy recovery. Hopefully he will be home by the time this article comes out, but if you would like to send him a card, you can mail it to the following address. Conley Jordan, 3248 Dalhi St. Cocoa, Florida 32926. Conley is truly a great friend and always willing to help anyone in a time of need. I look forward to him getting out and about again very soon. We are going to try something a little different at this month's CGHI meeting. We will have a very short business meeting followed by some fellowship. We are requesting that you bring a neighbor or friend to come out and see what CGHI is all about. All that we ask is that you bring something to munch on and we will provide coffee and tea. Now would be the time to bring up anything that you feel the association needs to answer or address. We don't always have all the answers but we usually know who to call that could be of some assistance. If you have not yet paid your $15.00 dues, this will be a great time to take care of that.
