Tom is from Derby, Connecticut, the smallest city in size but one of the biggest in history. In his senior high school year he visited St Augustine with some friends. The city’s history and beautiful beaches left a lasting impression. He decided that someday he would live here. He has been in the automobile sales and finance business most of his life. His interests were in flying, boating, and fishing. In 1980, he took the first step and bought a rental property in St Augustine, where he planned to move eventually. In 1990 he moved here to see if it was as good as he thought. After a few years of exploring other areas of the state he decided that “There is no better place to live 12 months a year than St Augustine FL. In 1995 he put his sales and investment property skills to use and went into the real es-tate business full time. In the last 17+ years he has kept pace with the ever-changing St Augustine real estate market helping people find the best home to suit their needs and helping sellers to market and sell their homes.

1. Skip the plastic costumes If you're trying to be the most realistic pirate, superhero, or, um, mustard bottle at this year's bash, then a cheap, store-bought costume is the way to go, though the hidden dangers and environ-mental impact should outweigh even the most enthusiastic compliments from other party-goers. Watch out for the soft vinyl--similar to shower curtain material--in many mass-produced costumes: that's likely polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which releases dangerous chemicals. Not exactly something you want covering your face (or your child's)--plus, it can't be recy-cled.

2. Get creative at home So what to do instead? With a little planning and creativity, even the least handy DIYers can put together a costume with items they have at home--try stringing old ping pong balls for Wilma Flintstone's classic neck-lace, or bending old wire hangers into butterfly wings. Scour your closets (and your friends', and neighbors', and local thrift stores) for flashback fashions you can pair up, trim down, sew together, or dye (naturally, of course).

3. Face facts You just won't look like Marilyn Monroe without red lipstick, or turn into a zombie prom queen without plenty of eye shadow. But do choose organic, natural makeup for your transformation, and avoid the mercury, phthalates, parabens, and fragrances that come standard in most big-name brands. You can make your own, find an organic retailer or special-order vegan makeup for exactly the right shade. The same goes for hair dye--eco-friendly brands let you rest easy when you see it all going down the drain (aka, back into the water supply), but don't underestimate old-fashioned techniques, like a handful of baby powder for a junior Albert Einstein. Check out our guide for How to Go Green: Women's Personal Care, for more makeup details. 4. Bar classic candies Half the fun of Halloween is the sugar high, no matter how old you are. But by stocking your bowl with organic, natural treats instead, you can escape many of the chemicals and preservatives that are even scarier than your neighbor's Frankenstein mask. Look for brands that donate part of their profits to environmental causes; Fair Trade-sourced chocolates; or sweets made with pure cane sugar, fruit juice, and natural colors. If you're skipping candy for health reasons, try handing out small toys, pencils, or soy crayons. There are lots more ideas at greenhalloween.org.

5. Choose a kid-friendly carryall When it comes to hauling all those treasures home, reusable canvas bags get the win over plastic or paper for safety and environmental reasons. Buy your own blank bags and let the little ones decorate them with non-toxic paint--they're sure to be an annual highlight--or browse craft stores and online retailers for seasonal offer-ings that sport witches, ghosts, and goblins galore. Then keep your kids visible to passing cars with battery-free flash-lights.

6. Set the mood The soft flickering of traditional candles gives Halloween its spooky feel--and what's a jack-o-lantern with-out one?--but the paraffin in wax candles releases toxic chemicals like toluene and benzene through smoke and soot. Clean up your home and keep your lungs healthy with organic soy candles, which last longer and come from renewable soy bean crops. And as for that jack-o-lantern, buy him from a local farm (and don't let his seeds go to waste; toast them) or, better yet, buy a ceramic one that you can reuse next year.

7. Keep it simple The rest of your decorations--plastic spiders, dangling skeletons, spooky scarecrows--should be one-time purchases that you use every year, just like the rest of your holiday decor. When possible, look for reclaimed material; if you’re buying things you know you can't keep--like streamers or paper plates--be sure to look for brands that are both recycled and recyclable.

8. Eat--and decorate--locally If spiders and skeletons aren't your thing, you can draw inspiration from the harvest bounty; think pumpkins, gourds, straw bales, and corn husks (all from your local farms, of course). Serve up snacks and nibbles made from other farm-fresh, seasonal produce, like squash soup, carrot cake, and apple cider. Check in with Local Harvest to find farms and other local spots to get the best of the harvest in your neck of the woods.

9. Support Fair Trade with 'treating ‘As a way to highlight the plight of cocoa farmers and to showcase the benefits of Fair Trade, the folks at Global Exchange have started a Reverse Trick-or-Treating program to help raise awareness while collecting goodies on Halloween. It's really easy. Sign-up through the 'Reverse Trick-or-Treating website to receive samples of Fair Trade chocolates, along with some cards that outline the program. Kids hand out the cards and samples to adults when they go to the door on Halloween. 10. Skip the candy aisle altogether If you're such a Halloween purist that you can't bear the thought of handing out anything but sugar, then see our ideas above. But if you're the non-traditional type, try stocking up on healthy treats: organic dried fruit, granola bars, and popcorn packets all work (and come individually packaged, so even the most discerning parents won't trash them for safety reasons). GreenHalloween.org also offers a list of non-food ideas, like hair barrettes (which you

The story of the Umbstead family is far too common in Florida. Too many hard working families are being forced to leave Florida due to out-of-control property taxes.

(Insert Video Here-à http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBjzgsRCCb4&list=UUTt0btAH2NZxirhcjCmZ5vg&index=14&feature=plpp_video)

Opponents of Amendment 4, like the Florida League of Cities, want you to believe that Floridians like the Umbstead family will have higher taxes while snowbirds get tax breaksis fundamentally untrue.

Here are the facts:

• Florida is already losing businesses and families to out-of-control property taxes at an alarming rate.

• Amendment 4 will boost Florida’s economy by $1.1 billion and bring more small businesses and tourism dollars to Florida.

• Amendment 4 will create 20,000 jobs and increase personal income in Florida by over $5.3 billion dollars.

City and county commissioners in your community are being encouraged by shameless Tallahassee special interest groups to use taxpayer funded resources to oppose Amendm4. We have even seen some desperate politicians employ scare tactics and threats to keep you from voting YES.

Please call your city and county commissioners today and tell them to stop using taxpayer dollars to fight an amendment that would lower the tax burden on Florida’s working falies, homeowners and small businesses.

There are currently 15 people needing handicap ramps in St. Johns County and St. Johns Housing Partnership is looking for community partners to donate $1,500.00 for a ramp kit and volunteers to help build them. Your Association Board and MLS Board have combined to donate the $3,000 for two ramp kits and we now have the opportunity for you to volunteer to help build the ramps.

The first ramp that we built was in Flagler Estates at 10415 Underwood Avenue for Ms. Dorine Johnson. The construction manager from St. Johns Housing Partnership was Susan Giddens. The volunteers from our Board were Chuck Pacetti, Homestar Pacetti Realty Network; Gay Marsh, Coldwell Banker Premier Properties; Steven Schuyler, Steven Schuyler Architect, PA; Ambra Wayne, RE/MAX Coast 2 Coast; Bob Lindsey, Light House Realty Associates; Eric Huey, Coldwell Banker Premier Properties; and Debora Link, St. Augustine Team Realty.

Chuck said that the experience was awesome and the recipients were very grateful. Everyone worked very hard and everyone contributed to the success of the event. Bob Lindsey said he was tickled to death to participate and see that it made a difference in the quality of life for the recipient and her husband, who happens to be a Vietnam veteran. It is truly a joy to help people and please put my name on the list to help each time. Ambra Wayne said it was a wonderful experience. She said the recipient teared up and so did I. Ambra said it is amazing what a little time can do to change a life so much. I am ready for the next project and have a few friends that want to help next time. Eric Huey said that as a church member it was an awesome opportunity to give of yourself by doing something for a very deserving couple. They were thrilled to receive the ramp. Eric said it was nice to do something without the anticipation of being repaid. He will not hesitate to volunteer again. Deborah Link said it just felt good! She said the recipients were very exhilarated. Deborah said that she is going to become a permanent volunteer for the Housing Partnership.

When you see these volunteers, please thank them for what they did in helping the recipient and her husband and for representing our Board in such a positive manner. Our second ramp will be built in October. If you would like to volunteer, please contact our office. 904-829-8738

REALTOR Safety Month: Top 10 Safety Tips for all Real Estate Professionals

1. Follow my Golden Rule: "You are your best weapon, your mind, voice and body. Listen and trust your inner voice. It is the best weapon you have." When your gut is telling you something doesn't feel right, listen! Do not ignore your instincts, listen and trust yourself.

2. Someone should know where you are at all times. Make sure you check in with your office and update them on your location.

3. Use the necessary forms. First, all agents should fill out the Member Identification Form, keep it current and on file at your broker's office. This form gives all the necessary information needed should anything happen to you and authorities need to locate you. Secondly, have all new clients fill out the Prospect Identification Form and check their information. Lastly, fill out an Agent Itinerary Form or a Listing Appointment Form. These forms list all the locations you are visiting when you are with a client or all the needed information about a listing appointment you are going on. All these forms can be found at www.JustBeSafe.com/resources.php.

4. When you host an open house, be aware! Never turn your back on a client. Do not go into small rooms where you can get trapped and don't park where you can get blocked in. Also be sure you know your escape routes should there be an emergency or potentially dangerous situation. Lastly, have your charged cell phone on you at all times. 5. When you use social media be aware of the personal information you are posting and sharing. Everyone doesn't need to know where you are going to dinner or when you are going on vacation. Remember that criminals are looking for opportunities to commit crimes.

6. Be careful using Wi-Fi. As real estate professionals we conduct business everywhere. Information transmitted over a free Wi-Fi connection can be viewed by anyone. So think twice before sending that document with a client's personal information over an unsecured connection.

7. As stated before, we work everywhere. This means we are also reading our email almost everywhere besides the office. Regardless of the device used, be careful when opening emails, links and attachments. Be sure you know and trust the sender before you proceed. Hackers are developing new viruses and spyware every day, so make sure your anti-virus software is always up-to-date. SAFE * 4940 Emerson Street * Jacksonville, FL 32207 * (904) 398-1848 * www.justbesafe.com

8. Be sure to secure all personal information in your work or home office. It's the law; you are responsible for en-suring your clients' personal information doesn't end up in the hands of identity thieves. Be sure all filing cabi-nets are locked, all computers files and portable electronic devices are encrypted and password-protected.

9. Keep your family safe. Be sure your house has proper locks on all doors and windows, and that they are kept locked. Install motion detector lights on all sides of the outside of your house. Keep your bushes trimmed down and thinned out and your trees cut so there are no low-hanging branches.

10. Remember to use Andrew's Five-Second Rule: Take One Second and look before you get out of your car. Take One Second and look behind you as you walk to your car. Take One Second as you stop at red lights and stop signs. Take One Second before exiting your vehicle. Take One Second as you walk towards your destination. Should you have any additional questions, please contact us. We appreciate your dedication to safety. For more resources and information, please visit our resource page at www.JustBeSafe.com.

As an old Navy pilot and Naval Academy graduate, I’ve learned a bit about navigation. To many, the most important part of navigation is the destination. These people are often lost! As a young Ensign I was assigned to the USS Independence CV-62 as the Navigation Division Officer. Under the tutelage of the amazing and awe inspiring Master Chief Donald Morgan, we sailed thousands of miles around the globe, and never got lost!

So what is the real secret to navigation? To get where you want to go, you must know where you’re starting from!

Yep, simple as it sounds, if you begin ANY journey without knowing precisely where you are starting from, the likelihood of getting where you are going is slim. And if by chance you start out lost, and still manage to get where you are going, it is never the most direct route. And so it is with home renovations. A bad start leads to a bad finish!

Since starting HomePro Inspections in 1994, HomePro has inspected over 30,000 homes in Northeast Florida, about 6,000 of those I’ve inspected personally. Inspecting that many homes has given us an insight, almost a clairvoyance, to see the root cause of problems in home renovation. So, what might you guess is the root cause of most every renovation nightmare, budget buster and renovation regret? Yep, you got it, the homeowner as well as the contractor did not know where they were starting from.

To be clear, knowing where you’re starting from is not the same as having a plan! You can have a fantastic plan on paper, but if the plan failed to have a complete, objective, and professional home inspection before you developed the plan, that’s a plan to fail!

Back to nightmares, budget busters, and regrets. Consider your own past projects for a moment or one of a friend or family member if you have yet to take the leap. Were there additional problems, aggravations, and expenses discovered after the work started? Did those discoveries result in the budget exploding? I’ve seen projects that never got finished because of problems discovered after the project started blowing the budget the beyond the homeowners ability to recover.

The result of failed home improvement projects is the family living in what feels like a construction site for years trying to gather together the finances to finish. Sadly, in some cases these unfinished renovation projects have finished families.

So how then can you have home improvements, upgrades, and renovation projects that have the highest probability of completion and satisfaction with the lowest risk of frustration and failure? Simple really, you must know precisely where you are starting from, and that’s the job of your home inspector.

Notice that I said “your” home inspector. It’s not your job, and it’s not your contractor’s job to know where you are starting from. It’s your job to know what you want your home to look and feel when the job is done. The contractor’s job is to develop a plan to get you there, as well as to execute the plan.

Home improvement success comes from the contractor starting with the home inspectors report to know where the plan begins! That’s how to minimize scary surprises, budget busters, and post project regrets! And for my DIY friends, it’s even more important to have the objective reporting of a professional home inspector. Ignoring this advice is a sure way to an unending stream of spousal critiques and commentaries.

Due diligence in choosing a home inspector is critical. You must be assured that your home inspector has the credentials, experience, and equipment to protect you and provide you peace of mind. Beware the freshly licensed home inspector with a flashlight and a dream – he will become your nightmare!

Along with a license and lengthy list of past customers with similar homes, be certain your home inspector is using the latest technology. They must have an infrared camera. No excuses, no exceptions!

In the hands of an experienced home inspector, the infrared camera will allow you to almost “see the invisible” and eliminate unforeseen problems popping up later. Things like hidden leaks in your roof or walls, electrical hot spots that pose a risk of fire, and massive pest infestations may all be discovered using infrared technology. Should these problems exist in your home, having their fix as a part of the plan is key to staying on budget.

So you see, navigating a home improvement project is just like navigating an aircraft carrier. Know where you are starting from, where you want to go, plan a direct route to get there. And be sure you’ve got the right crew with you!

For a list of the 13 questions that most Jacksonville home inspectors don’t want you to ask, visit www.GoHomePro.com it’s free and includes some awesome photos and video.
