Christmas Cards for Noah Biorkman

Jim & Maria Hart ~ Charleston, SC Real Estate (AgentOwned Realty) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:24:07 -0600

Riding home from the office today I heard about this brave young man who has been battling cancer for over 2 years. The doctors feel that he may not make it to celebrate Christmas, so Noah's family is going to celebrate early this year. Noah's last wish is to collect as many Christmas cards as he can. I check with snopes.com to verify the story and it is true. Here is a photo of Noah and his address. I know that I will have my card in the mail tomorrow. Please pass this on to everyone that you know and lets all make something special happen for Noah.

Christmas will come early for a five year old Michigan boy this year. Noah Biorkman is battling cancer and is not expected to live much longer. Noah is in the last stages of a 2 1/2 year battle with Neuroblastoma cancer.

Mrs. Biorkman is asking for Christmas cards for her son. If you would like to take time to send a card or letter, send it to:

Our visit to the 53rd Coastal Carolina Fair

Jim & Maria Hart ~ Charleston, SC Real Estate (AgentOwned Realty) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:59:42 -0600

As we mentioned in an earlier post, the 53rd Coastal Carolina Fair is currently in town and yesterday was our turn to jump on some rides and indulge in our share of fair food.

Unfortunately last year, Josh did not meet the height requirement of the 36 inches, but this year he topped out at 36.5 inches. As you can see from the photos below, we had a blast. We had the chance to visit the petting zoo and see all the varieties of chickens, rabbits and cows. It appeared that Josh was more interested in the cows and the baby goats more than anything else.

When it came to the rides, Josh certainly did not shy away from any of them. The rougher the ride the better it seamed, he is all boy. His face would light up as the rides took off or turned a sharp corner. If there was a steering wheel involved, that was certainly a win-win in his book. Josh loves everything with a steering wheel.

To end the night we got to view an amazing firework display that was set off on a small island in the middle of a pond.

So, here is to a successful 2009 fair, can't wait until next year.

A Tuesday Tickle ~ Dog Humor

Jim & Maria Hart ~ Charleston, SC Real Estate (AgentOwned Realty) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:39:19 -0600

A guy is driving around the back woods of South Carolina and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: 'Talking Dog For Sale ' He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.

The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.

'You talk?' he asks.

'Yep,' the Lab replies.

After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says 'So, what's your story?'

The Lab looks up and says, 'Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA. In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.'

'I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running. But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.' 'I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired.'

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

'Ten dollars,' the guy says.

'Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?'

'Because he's a liar. He never did any of that stuff.

Brand New Website to Search for Sex Offenders in South Carolina

Jim & Maria Hart ~ Charleston, SC Real Estate (AgentOwned Realty) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:04:04 -0600

A friend of mine emailed me the other day a brand new website that allows you to search for any registered sexual offenders within a 2 mile radius of your home (or whatever address you plug in).

This new website uses the tool OffenderWatch©, which is the nation's leading registered sexual offender management tool with hundreds of agencies utilizing it. South Carolina uses OffenderWatch© to manage and monitor the whereabouts conduct and compliance status of each and every registered sexual offender in the state.

Being a parent, I find this site tremendously useful. The one complaint I have is that it only goes up to a 2 mile radius. We live in a lesser populated area, so homes are spread out a bit further than in the city. I found three offenders within 2 miles of our home, but I'm sure that there are more closer than I'd like to think.

If you live in South Carolina, then make sure you check it out. For your sake, I hope you don't find any offenders close to your home!

Angel Oak Development Public Hearing Opportunity

Jim & Maria Hart ~ Charleston, SC Real Estate (AgentOwned Realty) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:14:17 -0600

The following is an email message that I received regarding the Angel Oak and the proposed development of the lands surrounding her.

If enough of us send some sort of communication against these projects, then it will signal to the council that we are still in this fight to save the beauty and history of this grand oak tree. Please join us and get your emails or letters to Greg Wahl and Mayor Joe Riley ASAP!

ALERT* Angel Oak Development Public Hearing opportunity-comments MUST be received within 10 DAYS!!

Please send comment letters to SCDHEC/OCRM in 10 DAYS OR LESS!! Letters MUST be received by Monday, 11/9.

If enough comment letters are received a public hearing will be held.

On Friday October, 30 the following public notice was posted on the DHEC website:

The following projects have been received for determination of consistency with the SC Coastal Zone Management Program:

Wastewater Treatment Plant on Maybank (Site Preparation), ID# 10-05-11-07B, permit no. SCR10L915, TMS# 279-00-00-248, located on the South side of Bohicket Road and the East side of Maybank Highway, Charleston, (SCDHEC-OCRM, SW)

TMS# 279-00-00-248 is the property next to the Angel Oak, part of the property proposed for development. The public notice does not reference Angel Oak Village and does not list any information about the applicant, or about the wetlands on the project site. The notice packet appears to have no specific paperwork plans submitted for the wastewater plant. The mere fact that this notice went out with so much lack of detail indicates a major need for a public hearing.

Please write Greg Wahl at DHEC to request a public hearing about the proposed "Wastewater Treatment Plant on Maybank". 10-05-11-07B, permit no. SCR10L915, TMS# 279-00-00-248

*Make sure to include that you are opposed to the proposed wastewater treatment plant because of the proximity to the Angel Oak Tree, the wetlands on the project site, and the lack of information in the public notice. Send your comments to:

Greg Wahl

wahlgt@dhec.sc.gov

And copy Mayor Riley: rileyj@ci.charleston.sc.us

You can also send in your comments to:

Greg Wahl

Don't Forget To Turn Those Clocks Back

Jim & Maria Hart ~ Charleston, SC Real Estate (AgentOwned Realty) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 09:41:26 -0500

Honestly, it feels like we just changed our clocks ahead and got to enjoy some extra daylight.

But here it is again -- it is time to turn the clock back 1 hour. I know that I could use that extra hour of beauty sleep.

So tonight, make sure that you have rewind your clocks so that you won't be early if you have somewhere to be Sunday morning. I'm sure there will be a few early birds at church this Sunday for early services.

You guys had some great guesses, and Sharon was super close with hers.

So the original photo is:

This was a scaled-down replica of Big Ben for the new movie coming out A Christmas Carol. It was part of the Disney Train tour that we recently gt to see promoting the new movie and all of the technology that went into the film.

Great guesses everyone!

A Christmas Carol Comes To Charleston

Jim & Maria Hart ~ Charleston, SC Real Estate (AgentOwned Realty) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 23:05:14 -0500

You have to give it to everyone who works for Disney, they really know how to roll out the "red carpet." Today was a day filled with wonder, magic, snow and smiles, just to name a few.

The Disney Train, A Christmas Carol, rolled into Charleston on Friday and left late this evening, but before it did we had the chance to jump on board to learn how the movie was made.

We were first greeted by the train conductor, who validated our boarding passes and directed us to board the train. Upon boarding the train we were greeted by the staff and walked through the first two cars. The walls were covered with digital TVs with images from the movie and a few clay sculptures of the film's main characters.

Just above are the clay models of Scrooge and Bob Cratchett (they looked so real).

The last portion of the tour we were able to take our photo and then have them morphed into one of four characters. The photos, once downloaded, will be emailed to us and we can either download them ourselves or have Wal-Mart print them.

Just before we exited the car we got our ticket to see a preview of the movie and we snagged a last minute photo of Josh. Did we mention that there were Christmas Carolers. Yep, they were in full dress and wassailing with the best of them. Not bad for 75 degree weather.

Judging from what we saw today, we are sure this movie will be amazing. The ten minute 3D preview just blew us away. The effects are life like and the movie itself takes you back to the age of Charles Dickens.

Disney's A Christmas Carol is set to be in theatres November 6.

The 53rd Annual Coastal Carolina Fair is Almost Here!

Jim & Maria Hart ~ Charleston, SC Real Estate (AgentOwned Realty) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 14:05:53 -0500

Just a couple more days and it'll be here! Five days to be exact!

The Coastal Carolina Fair always comes around Halloween for us. So that gives the kids a great opportunity to strut their costumes a little longer or take part in the pumpkin contests!

This year the fair is celebrating their 53rd year. The gates will open on Thursday, October 29th at 3pm for ten fun-filled days!

What's really cool is that there is entertainment every single night the fair is open. The first night will feature Paul Revere & the Raiders. Some of the other performances that we'll have a chance to see are James Gregory, Lady Antebellum, Percy Sledge, Tracy Byrd, Neal McCoy, The Lettermen, Julianna Hough, Jake Owen and Chairman of the Board. And fireworks are every night as well!

And then there's the rides! There are so many great rides every year, for adults and kids alike. You can get a hand-stamp every night for one low price and rides all the rides as much as you want.

Advanced tickets are on sale right now at all area Piggly Wiggly grocery stores. The advanced price is $6 for ages 13+, $4 for ages 6-12, and kids 5 and under are free. After opening day, you can purchase tickets at the gate for $8 for ages 13+ and $5 for ages 6-12.

You can also get advanced hand-stamp tickets for $17, but if you want to wait and get them at the fair it will cost you $20.

One of the best qualities of the Coastal Carolina Fair is that all of the proceeds stay right here in the Lowcountry. They have donated millions to local charities throughout the years. A few of the recipients have been the Ronald McDonald House, as well as various senior, youth, and community outreach programs.

So are you ready?! Just a few short weeks and the wait will be over. But the fun only lasts for 10 event-filled days, so be sure to make your plans now to get out to the fair!
