Our office aggressively seeks to stop Homestead fraud and catch homeowners in Broward who are fraudulently claiming a Homestead Exemption on their properties. We work with local governments, homeowner and civic associations to help iden- tify exemption fraud. We also rely on anonymous phone and mail tips about potential Homestead fraud.

If you know of anyone claiming Homestead Exemption on a property which is not their primary residence, we urge you to contact our Department of Professional Standards and Com- pliance at 954.357.6900 or http://www.bcpa.net/fraudform. asp and we’ll check it out. You are free to provide your contact information or remain completely anonymous when reporting potentially fraudulent activity to our office. To report fraud anonymously, please use our online reporting form and simply leave your name and contact information blank.

Pursuant to Sections 193.155 (9) and 196.161 of the Florida Statutes, property owners who fraudulently obtain a Homestead Exemption can be back taxed for as many as ten years, plus be required to pay substantial penalty and annual interest (50% of the unpaid taxes for each year and pay interest at a rate of 15% per year).

Sincerely, Lori Parrish, CFA

TENNIS COLUMN By Fran Mason

The US Open was riddled with upsets from the very 1st round. It truly was the tournament of the “underdog”!!!

Serena Williams, dealing with severe shoulder problems since Wimbledon, passed Roger Federer’s record for the most wins in Grand Slam tournaments in the Open Era. Things looked great for her until she came up against Karolina Plishkova ( I wrote about her in previous columns as the one to watch). Now I realize Serena was under the weather & had played an unbelievable game the day before, but as Plishkova said, “I had a goal today to beat Serena. That’s what I did!” However, the very next day Angelina Kerber defeated Plishkova in 1 of the best women’s championship matches I’ve ever seen. Kerber won her 1st US Open Title & the 2nd major trophy of her out-of-nowhere breakthrough season. That’s Why I Love Tennis!!!

Novak Djokovic revealed that he injured his wrist a few days before his 1st round Olympic loss in Rio. I guess that had something to do with his bizarre match against Gael Monfils (which he won) & his subsequent loss to Stan Wawrinka for the trophy in the men’s final.

31 year old Wawrinka of Switzerland won his 1st US Open Title & 3rd Grand Slam trophy overall. He is the oldest US Open Men’s Champ since Ken Rosewall who was 35 back in 1970. HERE’S COURTING!!!

It’s in between time now, so not much doing. Our pro seems to have had the summer months covered and we seemed busy on all weekends. How much money we took in I guess is not my business. We have a bunch of tournaments booked for next year. Some day I will find out what they are. Greens Meetings will start in October. You will be called with the date.

GREEN’S REPORT By Mike Levine

This month we are getting ready for the season. I wish all our golfers could see the great amount of work Ozmer and his merry men have done to the course to get it in such great shape. We are edging the cart paths. We are selectively trimming some of the trees on the PGA course. The course is being sprayed for weeds at the moment so some discoloration will be noticed. It will clear up in about 7 days. Both courses are being fertilized wall to wall and the dead plants at the ball washers are being replaced. It takes a lot of work to keep our diamond shining. Late news: our golfers will be treated to a new driving range when they arrive, or so I’m told.

NOTICE! We are still collecting golf clubs. Call and we will pick up or you may drop them off at the office. ATTN: Saul Shechter 954-431-0600 x241 Home #: 954-430-0267

CHALLENGES TO PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS

Did you know that Governor Rick Scott approved HB499 (Rep. Bryan Avila, R-Hialeah)? This new law, which became effective July 1, 2016, allows for not only property owners who disagree with the value placed on their property to challenge the assessment before their County’s Value Adjustment Board (VAB) but also a real estate appraiser or broker. An attorney or “agent” may also represent the owner.

LANDLORD/ TENANT SITUATION (reprinted from the Law & Ethics section of Florida Real- tor magazine, September 2016)

Q. A landlord and tenant entered into a residential lease that requires the landlord to maintain the air conditioning unit, but does not include a deadline for repairs. The tenant reported on Monday that the unit needs repair, but the tenant has not received a response from the landlord. It’s now Friday, and the tenant is hot and miserable. Is there a Florida law regarding how long a landlord has to make repairs required by a lease?

A. While there is no specific statutory timeline for making repairs, there is a way for the tenant to create one. The tenant may provide a written seven-day notice described in Section 83.56(1), Florida Statutes, which provides that “If the landlord materially fails to comply with Section 83.51(1) or material provisions of the rental agreement within seven days after delivery of noncompliance and indicating the intention of the tenant to terminate the rental agreement by reason thereof, the tenant may terminate the rental agreement.” 38 READY TO TOSS THAT HOLLYBROOK #@&?#?# COMPUTER J & J REAL ESTATE SALES OUT THE NEAREST SELLING & BUYING WINDOW?

39 Holidays HALLOWEEN HISTORY

Halloween, or Hallowe'en (a contraction of All Hallows’ Evening) is a celebration observed in a number of countries on October 31, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of All- hallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithfully departed.

According to BBC Online, it is "widely believed" that many Halloween tradi- tions originated from the ancient Celtic harvest festival Samhain (pronounced SAH-win or SOW-in), and that this Gaelic observance was Christianized by the early Church. Samhain and other such festivals had pagan roots; however some support the view that Halloween began independently of Samhain and has solely Christian roots.

Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing and divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories and watching horror films. In many parts of the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hal- lows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles on the graves of the dead, remain popular, although elsewhere it is a more commercial and secular celebration. Some Christians historically abstained from meat on All Hallows' Eve, a tradition reflected in the eating of certain foods on this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes and soul cakes.

In Scotland years ago, youths went house-to-house with masked, painted or blackened faces, often threatening to do mischief if they were not welcomed. Others in costume represented the spirits with faces blackened with ashes taken from a sacred bonfire. Elsewhere in Europe, mumming and hobby horses were part of other yearly festivals. However, in the Celtic-speaking regions they were "particularly appropriate to a night upon which supernatural beings were said to be abroad and could be imitated or warded off by human wanderers." From at least the 18th century, "imitating malignant spirits" led to playing pranks in Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. Wearing costumes and playing pranks at Halloween spread to England in the 20th century. The "traditional illumination for pranksters abroad on the night in some places was provided by turnips or mangel wurzels, hollowed out to act as lanterns and often carved with grotesque faces".

40 ROSH HASHANA Holidays October 2 – October 4, 2016 "Rosh" is the Hebrew word for "head," "ha" is the Rosh Hashanah literally "head [of] the year" is the definite article ("the"), and "shanah" means year.

GROWING UP IN THE GREAT DEPRESSION A Series of Articles by Saul Schechter

OK. The story. Let’s say this…

My Father came to America in 1915 because he ran away from pogroms. In Russia and Poland they had these real bad times. So he came to America and he joined the Army. When he joined the Army, he became a citizen because he was in the Army. And because he became a citizen, in 1919 he was able to bring my Mother and my two older sisters back to America with him. My older Brother, Ben, was born in 1921 and then my Sister, Roz, was born. I was born in 1924 and my Brother, Carl, who’s the Commissioner of Pembroke Pines, was born in 1927. So that’s the family.

My Father worked hard, but his primary objective was education. He wanted his children to have an education, and they worked very hard at it. When my Father came here, he was a tailor. He was a street cleaner. He delivered, what do you call it, seltzer. You know what seltzer is. Soda water. He used to deliver that on his back. He delivered it climbing 6 flights of stairs. He worked hard to support his family.
