Since we live in Florida, we need to keep our family safe this storm season.  Like every other state, Florida is dealing with dire economic realities that already have forced severe cutbacks for all of us.  All the more reason for Floridians to prepare to have a plan, to stock away the supplies we will need and to pay careful attention as storms head our way. First, you should make a family disaster plan.  If you need help - go online to www.tampabayprepares.org or www.floridadisaster.org  Second, you need to refer to the hurricane evacuation map to see where you live and your evacuation zone.  Determine if and when you would have to evacuate.  REMEMBER - ALL MOBILE HOME RESIDENTS MUST EVACUATE REGARDLESS OF LOCATION.  If you have to evacuate, decide now where you would go - to a frien...

Aftenposten "Eveing Post", January 26, 2008UNITY ONE made international news when interviewed by Norwegian reporter John Hultgren. Mr Hultgren was here to report on Florida's sliding economy and housing market which has resulted in the recent increases in mortgage foreclosures and the unemployment rate. The Aftenposten (the 'Evening Post") is Norway's second largest newspaper (after Verdens Gang) with a circulation of 256,600 for the morning edition, 155,400 for the separate evening edition and 232,900 for the Sunday edition (2003). With a long tradition of serious journalism, the paper was long considered the leading Norwegian newspaper. Strong competition in a shrinking market has made the paper opt for a broader appeal, however, as signified by the conversion from broadsheet to tablo...
