Police Department: Distraction Burglaries The North Palm Beach Police Department would like to inform all residents on how to protect themselves from becoming a victim of a distraction theft. The key to prevention is to understand the method of operation and how these criminals are able to commit this type of crime. Suspects can be either male or female and will often pose as landscapers, pest control specialists, plumbers, electricians, and/or utility workers. These subjects will attempt to gain the trust of the victim and create a sense of urgency to distract you from your home and into your backyard if possible. While being distracted in your backyard, others may enter your home without your knowledge and steal any belongings that they feel may be of value. Do not feel obligated to open the door. Confirm the identity of all workers prior to allowing them into your house or onto your property. If you are not expecting a service and feel that this is suspicious, call 911 immediately. Distraction Theft Criminals, also known as "traveling criminals" target elderly residents when they are the most vulnerable. Do not allow yourself to become distracted. If you know of a neighbor who may be considered a vulnerable target, share this important information with them so that they will be prepared in how to handle this type of situation. Be mindful of what is in your neighbor- hoods and remember to report any suspicious activity immediately to the North Palm Beach Police Department.

Choosing Digital Fitness Your new training partner? Technology is a major force in America's pursuit of fitness. Mobile apps and wearable gauges offer versatile, convenient ways to pursue exercise and nutritional goals. For example, you can digitally: • Track activity, calories, heart rate, and other fitness goals. Compete and network with fellow exercisers via social media. • Take streaming exercise, nutrition, or weight -loss classes. Synchronize exercise with music on your smartphone. Burn up the miles with a smartphone cycling app with audio instructions. Your primary goal in using any technology should be to spur you into action. Will it motivate you enough to change your health habits? You still need to exercise and eat nutritiously. List the features you think will help you the most, such as a food tracker to lose weight, a diet plan with recipes, or a fitness app with interactive coaching. Check app stores for ratings and customer reviews. Ask about product accuracy, interface, and ease of use. Check that exercise apps meet American College of Sports Medicine guidelines. Digital apps can potentially help improve your health but, they can't replace the knowledge of a medical, fitness, or nutrition professional.

A moldy or mildewed pavement surface can become a slipping hazard for pedestrians traveling our village sidewalks. These conditions can grow at a rapid pace without regular maintenance. Pressure washing is an effective way to eliminate buildup. A mixture of oxygen bleach and water may also be used for removal of stubborn stains and mold. • Appearance. Maintaining sidewalks and other paved areas in an attractive, neat condition enhances the community image overall for residents and visitors alike. • Village Ordinance. The adjacent property owner is responsible for the maintenance of sidewalks, per the village code Chapter 15-2 Section 305.15. Accessory Structures. Regular maintenance should include evaluation for and elimination of discoloration and conditions that may pose a hazard.
