 Rid your home of cockroaches and mice with a simple, homemade solution?

 

This non-toxic method is perfect for those seeking a natural pest control solution.  Start by popping some popcorn, then crush it into thick dust. Mix the crushed popcorn with grated soap and baking powder (or baking soda). Scatter the mixture in areas where you’ve seen pests.

The smell of popcorn attracts pests. When they eat it, the baking powder and soap disrupt their digestion, effectively eliminating them. This way, you get rid of mice and cockroaches in your house for good.

Florida in-state tuition in jeopardy for undocumented students

 

Gov. Ron DeSantis is pushing for immigration reforms in Florida, including cutting in-state tuition for undocumented students.

Lawmakers are being called back to the Capitol for a special session on January 27, and one of the governor's key goals is to curb immigration and assistance to undocumented people.

The law providing undocumented students with in-state tuition rates was signed by former governor and fellow republican Rick Scott. It was originally proposed by DeSantis' Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez in the 2014 legislative session.

But now, DeSantis wants it gone.

Astrid Rodriguez was an undocumented student when she was able to graduate from Seminole State College while paying the in-state rate. She wants the law to remain in place and reflected on the fight to pass the law in 2014.

"Now we were fighting, we were marching, and we were calling our representatives to try and get this passed. And it finally did pass, and that was amazing. I went from taking one class to taking five so I would be able to finish out my education," Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez said the in-state tuition made it possible for her to earn her degree faster and launch her career in the insurance business. "We pay our taxes. I bought my home, and it's a well-being for everyone as well. It's an investment for the future of Florida as well," she said.

HOA Homes Debate: Cost vs. Control in 2025

 

Recent social media discussions have highlighted the contentious debate over Homeowners Associations (HOAs). While some individuals criticize HOAs for high costs, restrictive rules, and potential maintenance issues in new constructions, others appreciate the community upkeep and property value maintenance they provide. This discourse comes at a time when new regulations in some states, like Florida, are adding financial burdens on homeowners through mandatory inspections and repairs.

As Hurricane Milton approaches, we urge everyone to stay informed and be prepared. Palm Beach County Emergency Management officials continue to actively monitor Major Hurricane Milton and its progress toward Florida’s West Coast. As of 9 a.m. Monday, Palm Beach County is currently under a Flood Watch and a state of emergency.

Mayor Sachs at the Emergency Operations Center.

The county's Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is at Level III, which is enhanced monitoring. Palm Beach County offices remain open for business.

 

Depending on rainfall amounts, flooding in urban and low-lying areas is possible, but that could change if the storm's actual track moves south. Palm Beach County is working with the South Florida Water Management District and Lake Worth Drainage District to minimize the effect of localized flooding.

 

Be Prepared.

 

  • Have a NOAA All-Hazards Weather Radio and battery backup to receive important weather and other emergency-related warnings.
  • Build a disaster supply kit and have a family and/or business plan. Remember to also have a plan for pets.
  • Locate or build a Safe Room in the interior of your home or business that can help provide protection for you and your family or your employees. This room should be located away from all windows and exterior walls and doors.
  • Learn how to prepare your home from wind damage before a storm threatens your area.
  • Make sure that all other aspects of your home are as protected from hurricanes as possible.
  • ALERTPBC is Palm Beach County's Emergency Notification System allowing you to opt in to receive notifications via phone calls, text messaging, email, and more based on locations you care about. Sign up at alertpbc.com.

I want you to know that if anyone needs help, I'm here for you. Please call my office at 561-355-2205 if you have any questions.

 

Stay safe,

Maria Sachs

Mayor, Palm Beach County 

 Please contact us with any questions or concerns.
