A Note From The Publisher
I would like to call to your attention the particular cancer fighting medicinal properties of Manuka Honey. We all know that honey can be good for us in a variety of ways but according to research, none have the cancer fighting properties of Manuka Honey.. Please do your research on it, as you will find it worth while. Also, if your throat is receiving radiation treatment, you may like to try a teaspoon before and after treatment to help protect your throat from burn. I read about this in a support group and tried it. Seems to be working for me.
Here are a couple of links of interest regarding Manuka Honey. This honey only comes from New Zeland. I buy mine on Amazon but sometimes your local health store will carry it.

Life-Saving Rescue Tubes Installed on Destin Beaches:
Submitted by Lori Leath Smith, Publisher - Life Media, Inc. Destin Life community newspaper
Destin’s beaches just got a little safer, thanks to a new initiative from the Rotary Club of Destin
and the City of Destin. On February 15, eight Public Rescue Tubes (PRTs) were installed at key
beach access points—just in time for spring break. These bright yellow flotation devices are
designed to assist in water rescues, helping save lives while helping to protect Good Samaritans
from becoming victims themselves.
A Community Effort to Prevent Drownings
The idea took shape in September 2024, when Destin Rotarians Dion Moniz and Wayne
Bernheisel proposed the project to the Destin City Council. Inspired by a similar effort in
Navarre Beach, they partnered with the Rescue Tube Foundation, a global organization
dedicated to preventing drowning deaths. The City Council unanimously approved the
installation, setting the project into motion.
Thanks to overwhelming community support, sponsorship slots—priced at $500 each—sold out
within hours. Each sponsor’s name is proudly displayed at the tube stations, reinforcing the
local commitment to beach safety.
Why These Tubes Matter
Drowning is a silent killer and a global crisis:
✔ 236,000 drowning deaths occur worldwide every year.
✔ It’s the third leading cause of unintentional injury deaths worldwide.
✔ It’s the #1 cause of death for children aged 1-4.
✔ In Florida alone, 464 accidental drownings occurred in 2022.
✔ Many area beaches lack lifeguards or have limited coverage.
✔ Rescuing someone without proper equipment is dangerous, often resulting in double
tragedies.
The Impact of Public Rescue Tubes:
�� 25 years of data proves their effectiveness.
�� 200+ documented rescues using rescue tubes.
�� Zero rescuer deaths in areas where tubes are installed.
�� Approved by Destin lifeguards.
�� Funded and maintained by the Rotary Club of Destin.
By bringing rescue tubes to Destin, the Rotary Club is joining a life-saving movement already in
place throughout the U.S. and Canada. Their mission? Fewer drownings, safer beaches and a
stronger community

12 Home Maintenance Tips for Spring:
By Paul McArthur - Owner: Agape Home Pro
Welcome to SPRING!! Yay!! Hopefully no more cold weather and def no more snow – that was super fun though, huh?
The milder days of spring are a perfect time to do a thorough spring cleaning and complete some needed home maintenance. With the cooler temperatures in Florida this time of year, it is an excellent time to work on preventive measures to help maintain your house and property throughout the year. Tasks such as clearing out your gutters, checking for dead trees and branches and cleaning and inspecting homes mechanical and plumbing systems, can help make spring a season of safety.
Cleaning and maintenance of your home needs to be done inside and out. Although the tasks are different, checking to see if all the components of your house remain in good working order can help in keeping your family safe and your maintenance costs lower over the long run.
Here are the Home Maintenance Tips for the inside of your home:
Electrical Outlets and Cords: Check electrical outlets and cords throughout your house for any possible fire hazards such as frayed wires or loose-fitting plugs.
Fire Extinguishers: Check your fire extinguisher a minimum of once a year, including the hose, nozzle, and other parts to determine if they are in great condition and that the pressure gauge is in the "green" range. Be sure to check the expiration date.
Air Conditioning: Check around the unit for indications of leaks. Before turning it on for the season, have your air-conditioning system checked and tuned up by a professional. Change the air filter.
Hot Water Heater: Check for leaks and deterioration.
Under Sinks and Around Toilets: Look for any signs of leakages, rust or corrosion on pipes, supply lines and fixtures.
Home appliances: Check supply lines for washers, ice makers and water dispensers, refrigerators, and dishwashers for signs of leakages or wear and tear. Be sure to correct any issues you encounter. Early detections can save you money in the long run.
Dryers: Dryer lint can build up inside the vent and collect around the duct. Clean both the clothing dryer exhaust duct and the space under the clothes dryer. Use a brush to clean out the vent pipe. Look for lint buildup around the lint trap and clean it as needed.
Smoke Alarm: Daylight cost savings time is a good time to change the batteries in your smoke detectors. Check each smoke detector to determine if all remain in working order, and make sure to test them monthly. Ideally, there should be at least one smoke detector on each floor of your house, including outside of each bedroom, and one within each bedroom itself.
Here are the Home Maintenance Tips for the OUTSIDE of your home:
Roof: Check for any damage and make any necessary repairs to reduce the possibility of leakages. If you have a skylight, check outside for an accumulation of leaves and particles. Likewise, inspect the indoor ceiling for signs of leaks. Keep in mind to put safety first any time you are on a roof. If you have any doubt, leave it to the experts.
Rain gutters: Clean leaves and other debris from rain gutters and downspouts to keep water flowing and minimize the possibility of water damage.
Trees: Visually examine trees for damage or rot and remove (think about working with a certified expert) any dead trees that may blow over in heavy winds or during a storm. Keep healthy trees and bushes trimmed and away from utility wires.
Walkways and Driveways: Repair any cracks and damaged or uneven surface areas to offer a more secure, level walking area.
Just a little home maintenance in the spring can go a long way to help keep your home safe, healthy and maintaining its value throughout the rest of the year.
As always, there is no shame in asking for help!! And, frankly, depending on your age, you shouldn’t be on a ladder!! There all sorts of quality businesses in the Destinites Directory who would love to help!

Destin's Legacy: Three Generations of Success and Resilience:
By: Melissa Jones, Agent - Norton Insurance Company
Destin’s story is one of legacy, resilience, and transformation. Since the charter of Destin over 40 years
ago, the population has more than tripled and economic revenue is estimated to be $755 million
annually. After only three decades, we reflect on the incredible journey that shaped our beloved town, thriving businesses, and generational families. The families and businesses that helped shape this town have left an enduring mark, proving that while landscapes may change, the spirit of those who built them endures.
One of those pioneers from the 80’s that helped to shape this town was our founder, Hugh Norton. He
saw a potential for opportunity and growth in this quiet beach town. Hugh passed away at the
remarkable age of ninety-two in his hometown of 40 years last December. In his final conversations,
Hugh spoke passionately about the insurance agency he built and the loyal customers he served with
unwavering dedication. The landscape and economy of Destin are vastly different than when he started
our agency 40 years ago, but the entrepreneurial spirt lives on.
Our town is now officially three generations old, but most of the businesses are new. I set out to find
multi-generational businesses in Destin, only to realize that we are one of the few. So, what
characteristics keep some businesses going from one generation to another and others to end? And do
we still need those same traits that helped to shape our prosperous beach town?
We found another company with a similar passion for family values, quality, and business longevity in
Magnolia Custom Homes, here in Destin. Like our own Grandfather and many residents, Magnolia
Custom Homes’ founder (Andy Beno) is also an Air Force veteran, retiring in 2003 and then calling Destin
his home. Andy continues to live out his dream of building homes, in his dream town, with his sons and
their families along his side. Like Andy and Hugh, the pioneers who built this town had to have grit,
strength, intelligence, and most of all, hope. Starting a business in a town with less than 10,000 people,
and prone to hurricanes is a risky business. But their faith and commitment to family life propelled them
to success.
One of our favorite restaurants, Dewey Destin’s, is probably the oldest restaurant in town. In 2000, after
a fishing ban put Destin out of business, they adapted and pivoted to providing the highest quality fish
at two local retail stores and restaurants. They own two distinct locations, one on the harbor and one a
shack with a dock over the water. We prefer the shack, because it reminds us that ingenuity and quality
are what matter most. Their resilience and focus on family navigated them to success over the
generations.
Owning a small business is not easy, especially owning an insurance agency in Florida. But we wanted to
be in this industry after reflecting on the help that our parents and grandparents were able to give to
the community. And hopefully, as we improve the business, our children will be able to make even more
of a difference.
The Benefits of Business Longevity
1. Better Service: Generational businesses excel in service by deeply understanding customer needs and
fostering long-term relationships.
2. Expertise: Multi-generational businesses benefit from accumulated knowledge and experience that is
passed down through each generation. This continuous transfer of expertise ensures that the business
remains innovative and adaptable while maintaining high standards of craftsmanship and service.
3. Employee Loyalty and Skill Development: Long-term employees create an environment where
employees can develop specialized skills and expertise over time, leading to a more competent and
committed workforce.
4. Community Connection: Long-standing family businesses often have deep roots within their
communities. They support local events, sponsor community initiatives, and contribute to the overall
welfare of the community, thereby enhancing their reputation and solidifying customer loyalty.
5. Adaptability: The ability to adapt to hurricanes, technology, and consumer and tourist behavior is
crucial for our businesses. Multi-generational businesses have shown resilience by evolving their
practices while preserving their core values.
It’s remarkable that this little beach town is now old enough to have three generations. Today, we stand
tall as the third generation to continue this tradition of fortitude and ingenuity here on the Emerald
Coast. We are committed to preserving the values and principles that have been the cornerstone of our
family business for decades. Our story is a testament to the enduring spirit of those who laid the
foundation for this community. As we step into the future, blending the old and new, we carry forward
the same grit, heart, and vision that built this town-ensuring Destin’s story continues for generations to
come.

Creating an In-Home Coffee/Tea Bar:
by Kim Schneider owner: Home - Coastal Design by Kim
Whether you have a nook, extra counter space or a piece of furniture you can create
your very own coffee/tea bar at home. First, choose an optimal location for your coffee
bar. Psst… if doesn’t have to be in the kitchen, some people are opting for a small
vignette in their bedroom to enjoy that first cup of morning joe.
Once you’ve settled on the perfect spot for your coffee/tea station, you’ll need to choose
your coffee/espresso/tea machine(s) if you don’t already have one or if it’s time for an
upgrade. If you have wall space, installing some nice shelves is important to help
display your mugs, supplies and decorative pieces. If you don’t have enough room for
shelves, you’ll need ample storage in a nearby cabinet.
Next up, pick out some pretty canisters that compliment your surroundings. These
canisters will display your coffee/tea essentials (coffee, pods, sugar, tea bags, etc.).
Style your canisters on a tray to help group and layer your pieces.
Time to show off those pretty mugs, coasters, teaspoons, syrup, honey dispensers, etc.
Style some of them in pretty jars and vases for easy access.
Add artwork, a vase/pitcher with flowers or some greenery for an elegant touch and
viola, you’ve created and styled a stunning coffee/tea bar that’s uniquely yours!
Coastal Design by Kim is a full-service interior design company. Regardless of the
size of your project, our team can help YOU bring beautiful, functional designs to life.

Christian Corner: by Patricia Lee
Life can surely throw us a curve ball at times or just flat pull the rug out from under us. Sometimes God sets us on a path where we can't see a light at the end of the tunnel. We pray and pray and time just seems to stand still and we wonder where God is and what He is doing. We think He's not listening. These are times when He is teaching us patience and to have faith in Him. Wait upon the Lord! Pray and trust Him to have a plan, as His timing is perfect and remember, He loves you!
- Habakkuk: 2: 3
Resource: The Living Bible
"But, these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be over-due a single day!"
