Hurricane Season 2022 - Are you ready? 32:47

3 years ago32:47

32:47

Okay, okay, last year's hurricane episode was for the old timers but this year we have many, many new residents (even new folks from other places in Florida) that might not know what to expect in terms of how the Farms reacts to major hurricane forces. This is the episode for you because we have our local treasure Janet Burfield the President of C.E.R.T. the Jupiter Farms Community Emergency Response Team to tell us what we need to know as hurricane season 2022 is upon us. Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is in partnership between Homeland Security and the public. CERT became a national program in 1993. CERT prepares volunteers for disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact our area. Jupiter Farms CERT is a 501 © (3) not for profit organization. We meet 3 times per year with no dues. Our next meeting is June 14th at 7 pm at the Jupiter Farms Park Pavilion. We are active at sharing information about storms developing and those that may strike our area with pertinent information before and after a storm. Hurricane Season runs from June 1st to November 30th. This may change as storms have been developing earlier in May for the past 6 years. Email C.E.R.T. jfcert@yahoo.com Next Meeting – June 14th (Tuesday) @ 7 p.m. at the Jupiter Farms Park Pavilion Hurricane Tracking Information Websites National Hurricane Center (NHC) http://nhc.noaa.gov Weather Predication Center (WPC) http://wpc.ncep.noaa.gov Weather Underground www.Wunderground.com/hurricane Ham Radio Information: Bert Moreschi – JTRG President Email - Aug77@att.net Ham Radio testing is available throughout the year. Please contact Bert for more information and testing dates. Governor DeSantis signed a tax relief bill in early May. Be sure to research these tax holidays for their limitations. Some of the upcoming tax relief programs are: The Disaster Preparedness tax holiday runs from May 14 until August 14th. Reinforce Your Home tax break on impact resistant doors, windows, and garage doors for a 2 year period beginning July 1st. The Atlantic Hurricane Season is projected to be above normal season similar to the 2021 Hurricane Season. This will be the 7th year in a row for a more active season. We are under a La Nina influence as far as water temperatures. After a storm passes our area, please use extreme caution when going out in your yard. There most likely will be standing water which could have live power lines, snakes, red ant piles and other things that you won’t want to step on. More deaths are caused after storms than during a storm from careless actions. So be prepared ahead of the storm season, stay inside during the storm, and be extremely careful venturing outside of your house after a storm. If you feel safe, please check on your neighbors to make sure they weathered the storm safely. Be weather wise and alert! Support the show…

Welcome to Season 2, episode 7 of the Jupiter Farms Residents Podcast. This month, joining Matt, Jillian and Kristen is the unstoppable Susan Kennedy. She guides us through all the history surrounding, saving and protecting the environmental resources with our amazing guests Commissioner Karen Marcus and Rob Robbins the former director of the Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management (ERM). We wanted them to come on to discuss some of Jupiter Farms environmental resource issues. In all of Susan’s time fighting for the land protections to keep Jupiter Farms’ character she realized that all those issues were tied to water management issues. You can’t separate the two. 04:49 – Rob and Karen explain some of the protections they have historically (in the 2000’s) worked on and the current issues that demand our attention and efforts. 12:50 – We get into how people like Karen, Susan and Rob were able to communicate the problem to local officials and to actually get the funding to solve the issues of the day. 17:37 – While the work 20 years ago was significant, there is a lot more to do. 23:20 – The wet season is getting wetter and the dry season is getting drier – what needs to be done to make sure we have fresh drinking water all year long (and protections against sea level rise). 33:49 – Where does the 20-year, $150-million bond to support environmental projects stand as of now? 38:29 – Why it’s important to have a county-wide perspective on water/land issues even if you care mostly about what happens in Jupiter Farms. 42:21 – If we want to improve our water quality, we can’t rely on the Federal Government – we have to act locally.

Welcome to another episode of the Jupiter Farms Residents Podcast! This week the marvelous Susan Kennedy joins the regular group of Matt, Jillian and Kristen and we have a very special guest, former Palm Beach County Commissioner of District 1 Karen Marcus. 02:06 – If you appreciate all the natural wildlands and accessible beaches near the Farms, Karen is one of the main people you should thank for protecting them. Karen was originally elected to the commission in 1984. 05:31 – The bond program and the comprehensive plan were two key elements Karen helped implement to protect The Farms. Many of the lands we take for granted that are protected were purchased by the county under Karen’s watch. Places including Loxahatchee Slough were protected instead of putting Florida Atlantic University out there. 11:44 – How “protected” are the wildlands surrounding Jupiter Farms? Can development still threaten the character of our area? 18:56 – Is there anything that can be done to educate County Commissioners on the unique nature and characteristics of Jupiter Farms? 20:35 - Karen is proud to be a part of getting Scripps Research in the Jupiter area. 22:33 – The greatest challenges facing the North County right now are… 24:12- Karen explains why Jupiter Farms was designated as a “rural tier” 25:12 – Karen weighs in on the Soccer Complex battle and what must be done to protect against it. 28:28 – Karen has decided to come out of retirement and run for her old seat for a very good reason. The election is August 18th. 34:39 – Karen talks about the importance of going out and experiencing the lands the county considers purchasing. 38:16 – Beach preservation has been a major issue for Karen and she sees it as a big issue going forward.

26:41

This month we’re happy to welcome Jim Kovalsky of www.eFirstAlert.com When an emergency strikes, there’s nothing more comforting than having the support of your friends and family. eFirstAlert’s single address notifications can automatically notify anyone you want if there is an emergency at a specific address. Once you register an address with their service, they monitor every fire rescue dispatch, and if emergency responders are sent they'll alert you before the responders even arrive at the door. 00:30 – Jim explains what eFirstAlert is and what events you’ll be alerted to (within a 2-mile radius) of what type of first responders are being dispatched. 05:36 – Jim tells us eFirstAlert was a passion project that came from his knowledge of computer science and his work as a volunteer firefighter 07:52 – You no longer need to call the fire department or turn to Facebook to figure out what’s going on around you. Your alert will be sent directly to your inbox. 09:30 – There is a business-tier version of eFirstAlert that many news reporting outlets utilize. 10:43 - Jim Kovalsky is also the guy behind Honestware tech support. 11:08 – When using eFirstAlert, be aware that the address associated with the event may not be where the actual issue is. And just because units have been dispatched doesn’t mean there is an actual issue – could be a false alarm. 12:57 – PLEASE, make sure your written address is visible – especially at night! Those with reflective numbers will save crucial seconds when it really counts. 15:03 – If you have an emergency in your home, now your neighbors can be alerted (and may be able to help). This is all public information, no one’s privacy is being compromised. 17:07 – Sign up now – this is a FREE service because its supported by local business sponsorship. And new features are in the works. 20:57 – Jim goes through some of the stations that dispatch in different areas. 22:29 – COMMUNITY CALENDAR : Jupiter Farms Residents Meeting Tuesday, March 10th at 7pm, March 14th SIRWCD Land Owners Day BBQ at 11:30am at the District Office, March 19th SIRWCD Monthly Board of Supervisors Meeting at 7pm at the Pavilion, March 21st Talkin’ Trash Community Cleanup at 8am at the Pavilion, on April 4th TWO EVENTS IN ONE – Spring Family Fun Day at 11am and at 4pm the Music Festival kicks off, both at the Pavilion.

Soccer Complex & JF Land Use Regs 48:08

5 years ago48:08

48:08

We take a deep dive into the Soccer Complex being proposed at the corner of Indiantown and Rocky Pines. With us to share her institutional knowledge is Susan Kennedy of the Jupiter Farms Environmental Council and the JFR Advisory Board . This Soccer complex is massive folks, way denser than any other “park” in the county. We go through the proposed complex, break down the land use and zoning code and explain why this particular proposal has no business being developed in Jupiter Farms. THANK YOU, to the over 350 residents who came out last month to voice your opinion on the proposal. It was needed then and will be needed again in April, culminating at the Board of County Commissioners meeting on April 29th. We also get into the history of Jupiter Farms development and explain why our land use and zoning rules are in place and why it is so important that we not allow our RR10 [Rural Residential 10 (1 housing unit per 10 acres)] and Ag RSA status to be altered. That’s not even mentioning how our work is intended to preserve the natural lands and parks surrounding Jupiter Farms. 10:05 – This area has historically always been an agricultural-based community and since the 1980’s we’ve fought to keep it that way. 19:02 – A Commercial Recreational proposal has come to town that would require major land use rule changes for it to be built. Unlike everything else in JF this proposal does not have an agricultural intent behind it. 24:24 – What if the County Commission okays the Soccer Complex proposal? What would happen next? What if it is actually built, would that open the flood gates of commercial construction on Indiantown Road? 39:49 – Other projects have gotten in that JFR opposed – we fought them tooth and nail but sometimes, especially if the community hasn’t come out in force inappropriate things get through. 42:45 - Thanks to Susan Kennedy and others who came out using their institutional knowledge to benefit and preserve Jupiter Farms. 45:00 – COMMUNITY CALENDAR: JFR’s Monthly Meeting happens February 11th , 2 Talkin’ Trash Cleanups this leap month on February 1st and February 29th both at 8am, SIRWCD Meeting on February 20thand remember our third annual JFR Shootout is on February 8th Support the show…

All Things Permits with Doug Wise 47:36

47:36

We have with us a very special guest, Doug Wise , the Director of Palm Beach County’s Division of Building. There is a huge amount of information and a huge amount of misinformation regarding the Building Division and what needs a permit and why permitting is important. Don’t get your information from some guy or gal on Facebook – let’s go straight to the source. The Division of Building is where you get your permits when building on or changing your property. For any additional information, questions, concerns go to www.pbcgov.com or www.pbcgov.org Or EMAIL: pzb-building@pbcgov.org 01:58 – What needs to get permitted and what can I do without a permit? Like fences, sheds, driveway paving, pond filling, patio paving, pool decks and much, much more. 08:39 – Getting a permit is not optional. It’s the law (even in Jupiter Farms) and you wouldn’t want something to come back to haunt you. 10:15 – What does County do if they discover something on my land that wasn’t permitted or that has expired permits? When is it possible to get a variance? 16:32 – What you should do to protect yourself when buying a home.

This month we have a very special Holiday edition of the Jupiter Farms Residents Podcast… well sort of. If you’re looking to give the gift of environmental friendliness, litter activism and reusable gift ideas then you’re in the right place. We’re very fortunate to have as guests this month Kathy Moore of Talking Trash and Elana Smith and Stephen Smith of One World – Zero Waste in Tequesta. You can find more https://www.oneworld-zerowaste.com or visit their store located at: One World Zero Waste 354 S. Cypress Drive Unit 1 Tequesta, Florida 33469 Or call them at: 561-285-8511 TALKING TRASH does trash cleanup around the Farms once a month, most of the year. To get involved and get community service hours call 561-523-7550 00:34 – We’re looking at polar opposites of trash in the Farms this month. Removing trash in the Farms with Kathy Moore and Talking Trash, which goes out there each month picking up trash around town and preventing trash from being created talking to Stephen and Elana of the retail store, One World – Zero Waste. 01:24 – Stephen & Elana explain what One World – Zero Waste is all about – providing the community with alternative products to stop using single use plastic products that create so many problems in our environment (and end up getting picked up by Kathy). Items like reusable un-paper towels, and cloth diapers are some popular items in the store. 08:45 – Kathy Moore cleans up the plastic and trash thrown out on the roads in Jupiter Farms. Where is this trash coming from? Is the problem getting worse? And thanks to Kathy’s sponsors she offers great prizes and rewards to the kids and adults taking part in her monthly clean-ups. And boy do they find some crazy things when doing the clean-ups. And for kids needing community service hours it’s a great way to get those accomplished as well. 17:23 – Elana and Stephen have attempted to live their lives at zero waste – here are some of the hardest things to give up. For instance, they don’t have a garbage can in their house – how do they survive?!? You don’t have to go zero waste – just start with a few things and see how much less you can waste. 20:02 – We can all get a few bags and use them when shopping at the super market. 22:28 – Can we go towards zero waste because it’s the right thing to do or do we need government intervention? 25:07 – Going zero-waste ends up saving you potentially hundreds of dollars annually. 30:02 – COMMUNITY CALENDAR : NO JFR Meeting in December, Sat.
