Casey Key near Sarasota reminds me of a story that took place in 1934, at a saloon in the Florida Keys, Lazaro, a passionate and brilliant fisherman, meets Dominic, a civil engineer graduate. The two young men instantly bond over a game of chess. In fact many of the ships are there on purpose, as a part of creating artificial reefs in the Florida Keys. One BIG SHIP that was schedule to be sunk on May 15th 2008 is the Vandenberg . If you'd like to rent a beach house or a motel in the Florida Keys, do a quick online search before you do anything else. The terms 'Florida Keys trip' or 'Keys vacation motel' will help you to narrow down a list of possibilities.

ABC "Extreme Makeover-real estate fix up PDF

ABC "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" Calls on Katonah-Based Landscape Designer, TRD Designs, for the Second Year in a Row. They are really good at making real estate look better.

Local Business Owner Participates in Uplifting Transformation of a Non-Profit Camp for Underprivileged Kids with Skilled Landscaping Techniques

Katonah, New York, May 1, 2007
—For the second straight year, TRD Designs, a Katonah-based landscape design and build company, was asked to perform a little magic in under 24 hours for the two-hour season finale of ABC’s Emmy-winning show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which will air on May 20 from 7PM-9PM.

Recently Tom Dieck, President of TRD Designs helped to assemble a team of skilled craftsmen to transformed the landscape of the Clearpool Education Center, a 100-year-old non-profit camp that provides underprivileged children in the tri-state area with a fun and educational camp experience. The Clearpool Education Center is located in Kent, NY and will play host to Camp Heartland, a Minnesota-based organization that provides support to children with HIV and their families.


The 2007 season finale of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition revolves around Debbie Oatman, a living saint with four kids, including three adopted boys, of whom two are HIV positive. Oatman was chosen by Extreme Makeover Home Edition for a variety of reasons including the fact that her house was slowly sinking into the ground, and the mold that had developed in the home was compromising the delicate immune systems of her children. Camp Heartland has played an instrumental role in helping several of Oatman’s children deal with their condition and has provided them with a safe and fun environment.

THE CHALLENGE

TRD Designs took on the challenge of completely transforming the surrounding landscape of the Clearpool Education Center into a kid-friendly environment so that Debbie Oatman’s boys and other families would have a fun and safe place to learn and play.

"We feel extremely fortunate and honored to have been asked to participate in a second Extreme Makeover project," said Dieck, who orchestrated the landscaping effort for the show. "Debbie Oatman is an extraordinary person and we were happy to lend a hand in the landscape transformation for her and her family."

RESPONSIBILITIES

Dieck’s job as project manager and designer was to coordinate with top-level suppliers including masonry, landscaping, iron work, and other construction needs. The goal was to create an aesthetically pleasing, fun and safe play-area for Camp Heartland campers in less than a day.

"The network wanted us to work fast and complete the job in under a day, which proved to be a challenge due to the fact that the landscape around the Clearpool Education Center presented several issues," said Dieck.

GETTING THE JOB DONE

TRD Designs had their work cut out for them and adding to the challenge their time was cut by seven hours due to unfinished work on the house. They began with a dense ledge that had to be saw cut and chipped out in order to create a consistent grade for the walkways to be installed, which is essential for a safe and stable surface. Large formations of ledge also had to be removed with excavators, a time consuming process that had to be competed in order to move on to the next stage of planting shrubs and trees.

In addition, acquiring woodland plants in bloom in the month of March which would meet the expectations of the shows dramatic Before and After footage was very difficult. TRD was able to meet those requirements as well as locating deer resistant and low maintenance plantings that could also handle excessive moisture.

FULFILLING EXPERIENCE

Tom Dieck cherishes his experiences with the families and people he was able meet and work closely with during the Extreme Makeover projects and would welcome the opportunity to make new friends on a third project.

"It’s a unique and special feeling when so many people come together driven by their hearts and the desire to do something good for a family as deserving as the Oatmans," said Dieck. "I use the term ‘Extreme Makeover Hangover’, when trying to describe the empty feeling one has when everybody goes back to reality because you really do make life long friends during the process."

12 MONTHS AGO

In May 2006, TRD Designs took a barren plot and turned it into a vibrant masterpiece in 4 days and 10 hours. The show featured the Arena family house in Purdys, New York. The family’s only son, Jimmy, had died of a brain tumor the previous September. TRD Designs was brought in to create a landscape that would accommodate the family’s lifestyle with 6 remaining children—all girls, with another baby on the way. In addition, Dieck arranged for the participating companies to extend their commitment to the project for at least one year.

"We had such an amazing and fulfilling experience during the Arena family transformation," said Dieck. "That it made the decision to help out the Oatman Family and accept the Extreme Makeover Home Edition challenge again an easy one."

Neil's Stores (in Mt. Kisco and Scarsdale) are donating a percentage of their sales on Saturday, May 12th, to an organization that provides "camperships" to underprivileged children in the tri-state area to attend non-profit overnight camps. I am the secretary of the organization called S.C.O.P.E. (www.scope-ny.org). We have no advertising budget, but wonder if you have somewhere in your Westchester Spotlight that you can either write about this day/organization or list us in a monthly calendar?

Thank you,

Westchester County Real Estate Investments

Unlike traditional residential real estate mortgages, real estate investment financing is way more creative and offers more options than you think.  Westchester Real estate investment financing is a better option than the traditional residential real estate mortgages.  In investment real estate the quickest way to wealth is through owner financing, or lease optioning. 

Now, if you want to move your properties quickly, and a month is not a reasonable time, you might consider combining two strategies – buying investment real estate for the purpose of rehabbing and quickly lease optioning the property.  When the real estate appreciates and is worthy of the investment of a bunch of town homes, a Starbucks or McDonalds, scrape the property, move equipment re-set it up at another best guess for future appreciation location?  With real estate prices in some countries soaring, and first time buyers struggling to get onto the first rung of the real estate ladder, many people are looking further a field for investment property opportunities.

The History of Niagara Falls



Niagara Falls, also known as Chutes du Niagara, and the surrounding area has a rich and interesting history. Beginning well over 10, 000 years ago, the landscape which is now honored as Niagara Falls was far different from how it appears today. Once a place where Native Americans made their homes along the river banks and in the natural woodlands all around the falls, Niagara Falls is a body of water that is currently used for a natural source of hydroelectric power and a main tourist attraction located in Niagara Falls, New York and Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Niagara Falls, sometimes referred to as the Canadian Falls, draw tourists by the thousands each year. The falls are situated right on the border of Canada and the United States. Further, the name Niagara Falls may at first be deceiving to people who have never visited the falls as it sounds as if it only refers to one waterfall. In essence, Niagara Falls is actually a total of three falls: the American Falls, the Bridal Falls and the Veil falls. This immense water feature allows the passage of well over 160,000 cubic meters of water to topple over its immense crest line every sixty seconds!

The state of Wisconsin was once covered with natural ice formations; ice formations that are responsible for the creation of various land formations and bodies of water. Eventually, the glaciers continued to move through the Niagara region and form the geographical formations that exist today. Further, the melted glaciers are responsible for creating the bodies of water in the surrounding area, including the Niagara River and the Great Lakes.
