Mobile Home Sales in Jamestown, SC

It goes without saying that the coronavirus pandemic has sparked a wave of uncertainty across myriad industries, and no other market has quite felt its impact like that of real estate.

The pandemic has become a driving force behind the continued real estate boom, with high demand for vacation homes and a limited supply of housing that has prompted buyers and investors to bid up prices for affordable properties, causing home prices to skyrocket. The ability to work remotely played a role in the vacation home demand in mid-2020, as affluent Americans opted to ride out the pandemic with more amenities and space outside dense urban areas.

(The Center Square) – The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe on Monday blasted Washington State Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz’s Friday decision to end net pen fish farming in state waters managed by the Department of Natural Resources.

“The DNR’s decision to end marine net pen aquaculture in Puget Sound is a direct threat to our Tribe’s self-reliance goals and cultural aquaculture traditions via Salish Fish, our Tribe’s sustainable marine aquaculture business,” the statement from the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe said.

The state regards commercial fish farming as a danger to the aquatic ecosystem in that feeding fish in concentrated areas releases nutrients and organic matter that can contribute to algae production. In addition, fish feces can degrade the ocean floor.

“As we’ve seen too clearly here in Washington, there is no way to safely farm finfish in open sea net pens without jeopardizing our struggling native salmon. Today, I’m announcing an end to the practice. We, as a state, are going to do better by our salmon, by our fishermen, and by our tribes,” Franz said in a Friday statement. “Commercial finfish farming is detrimental to salmon, orcas and marine habitat. I’m proud to stand with the rest of the west coast today by saying our waters are far too important to risk for fish farming profits.”

The federally recognized Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, located on the norther Olympic Peninsula of Washington, disagrees with the state’s solution.

“Fin Fish and shellfish have always been an integral part of the S’Klallam culture as sustenance, as well as the traditions associated with harvest, preparation, celebration and commerce,” the tribe’s statement said. “For millennia, S’Klallam people fed their families with fish and shellfish, and traded their abundant harvest with other Tribes, devising methods for holding fresh catch, and preserving the harvest for future consumption.”

The tribe recognizes the modern-day challenges to fishing, but contends commercial farm fishing is part of the solution, not the problem.

“Tragically, population growth, pollution, and development activities in the Pacific Northwest have negatively impacted our wild Fish stocks,” the S’Klallam Tribe contended, “and our Tribe firmly believes that take the pressure off wild fish harvesting through sustainable marine aquaculture is a viable 21st century option.”

The S’Klallam Tribe’s reaction is in contrast to that of Chairman Leonard Forsman of the Suquamish Tribe, who joined Franz at a Friday news conference on Bainbridge Island for her announcement that last two remaining fish farming leases on Puget Sound would not be renewed, effectively removing the industry from the state.

“On behalf of the Suquamish people, I want to thank Commissioner Franz for listening to Tribes and others who place the health of the Salish Sea as their top priority,” Forsman said in a statement.

Cooke Aquaculture has until Dec. 14 to finish steelhead farming and start deconstructing its equipment. The company’s pens are located in Rich Passage near Bainbridge Island and Hope Island in Skagit Bay.

Net pen fish farming has already been outlawed in California, Oregon, and Alaska.

(The Center Square) – A bill on burying the dead proved to be very much alive in the Washington Legislature, as a vote Monday made clear.

State House Bill 1037, "an act concerning family burial grounds," cleared that chamber of the Legislature by a vote of 95-0.

Bill chief sponsor Rep. Jim Walsh, R-Aberdeen, celebrated its passage by explaining the bill's importance.

"One of the great traditions of living in the West is the ability to bury your family, and when the time comes yourself, on land that you or your family owns," he said in a statement. "Doing so was commonplace in the early years of our state. But in recent years it has become less clear in the law whether it's legal at all. Really, this is simply a clarifying bill ― within certain parameters ― that allows those long-held traditions to continue."

His office explained that the state's current law "requires all burials to be conducted by registered cemetery corporations," which makes family burials difficult, in a news release. It added that property owners who do this would be required to register the burial place of their family members on that land and that they must disclose these plots to would-be buyers of the property.

Walsh insisted that the bill does not create a "loophole for a cemetery business," because "the family burial plot is just that ― a small section of land that complies with all usual guidelines and use restrictions for burying family members."

The fiscal note for the bill adds that it's up to the property owners how they want to define "family."

"Such burials may be, but are not required to be, restricted for use by persons related by birth, marriage, or adoption," the note states.

The note forecasts costs against government revenues to be about $7,400 in the current biennium.

The bill now goes to the state Senate for consideration.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Entering LNB Candles, visitors are greeted by a small, white chihuahua named Johnny Depp and a modern entryway, featuring floral backdrops and neon lighting one might find on a chic Instagram page.

LNB owner Michelle Walters says she offers something other major fragrance retailers do not: safe and clean scents with simple ingredients.

“It was not ever intended to actually be a full-time business, and it ended up turning out to be one, which is kind of cool,” Walters said.

A self-proclaimed “type A personality,” Walters said her business, located at 6778 Jamestown Drive in Alpharetta, relaxes her and helps her feel her own sense of Zen.

“I want you to feel like you walked into a place that's here for you, that's personalized for you,” Walters said. “So, if you have questions about anything, if you have concerns about anything, if you want to know, can I customize something. Like, I can do things more so than a big box retailer can do, and I want to do those things for you.”

Business background

Walters started making candles 10 years ago. Her daughter loved burning candles, Walters said, but after being diagnosed with a health condition, her daughter developed headaches, sleeplessness and cystic acne from the candles.

Some candles, Walters said, contain chemicals that make the scents harmful when inhaled. A study conducted by the South Carolina State University from 2006 to 2010 showed that candles made with paraffin, a wax made from petroleum, release dangerous chemicals that are “health hazards and could cause various diseases.”

The study also states that candles with bases made from soybean, the base that Walters uses at LNB, do not release similar pollutants.

“So, I made some candles, and then her friends came over to the house, and they're like, ‘Mrs. Walters, could you make us a candle for our room?’” Walters said. “And then it turned into making candles for their parents that had businesses, and then making them for parties and events and weddings, and then just happened to walk by a location that had a for-lease sign and signed up and opened up the store.”

Walters has grown beyond candles, now selling car fresheners, room sprays and diffusers. She said LNB will experiment with body sprays and body lotions.

LNB Candles has already branched out into various retailers, including Walmart and Amazon.

“I got to the point now where I started off with a very small candle-making process, and now I've gotten to the point where I’m having a very large candle-making process, melting wax for me every single day,” Walters said. “So it's pretty cool.”

Walters said being environmentally-conscious is an important part of her business.

“That's one thing I like about the products that I use, like a lot of times people bring the candles and are like, ‘Hey, can I refill them?’” Walters said. “And I'm like, ‘Yeah, absolutely, come to the shop.’ Instead of throwing a candle container away, you can refill it again, and you can even choose a different scent to go in it.”

LNB’s products are also pet-friendly and non-toxic, she said. Her room sprays, unlike oil-based air fresheners, do not stain walls.

Setting up shop

Walters opened her shop last year. Part of choosing what products to make and sell depends on a customer’s scent preferences.

“Usually, I go in, and I’ll bring them three types of scents,” Walters said. “So, I'll bring them something that's maybe like a floral, something that's like a herb-type of scent and something else that's a musk.”

Walters said candles are a very personalized item, and part of expanding on a scent line is deciding what customers most like.

Candles like the “Great Gatsby,” are inspired by personal anecdote. Walters said the scent reminds her of her grandfather, who smelled like aftershave when she hugged him.

Walters said the number of products for a particular scent she keeps in stock depends on demand and whether the scent is part of a limited holiday collection.

Whether it’s out of stock or a request for something new, however, Walters said she accepts custom scent orders to find a customer’s perfect product.

Customers will see the LNB logo displayed behind the front counter and a holiday display table when they enter. Down the hall and to the right is the showroom, which Walters said she likes decorating for holidays. Heart pillows, the word “love” and a giant pink Teddy bear Walters stuffed herself get customers into the Valentine’s Day spirit.

Next up

This year, Walters said LNB is going through the trademark process, which would allow her to expand the business’s wholesale contracts.

“I would love to just keep expanding it into stores and into more boutiques and expand our line also on Amazon,” Walters said. “We have candles on Amazon, which have sold really, really well, but I was waiting for the trademark protection to come in before we continue to expand the line, just so we're able to protect it.”

LNB makes stops at the Halcyon Farmers Market, the Vickery Village Farmers Market, the North Main Street Market at Alpharetta and the Milton Farmers Market.

The shop is open weekdays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays, noon to 6 p.m.

“I love what I do, and I know it's going into someone's home, so I want them to love it when they get it and to enjoy the product,” Walters said.

Developer Jamestown announced today the third new building around Ponce City Market’s block in Old Fourth Ward is officially going vertical, using locally sourced timber that reduces carbon footprints, is cleaner to construct, and lends a “warm, healthy, and welcoming work environment for the people who will occupy the space,” as one official put it.

Called 619 Ponce, the four-story, mass-timber loft office building will rise where Ponce de Leon Avenue meets Glen Iris Drive, across the street from a popular carwash. Like a 21-story residential tower under construction next door—another facet of Ponce City Market’s phase-two growth spurt—619 Ponce is replacing a surface parking lot.

It’s expected to offer 85,000 square feet of office space, with 25,000 square feet of retail joining the behemoth hub of shops and eateries next door.

Jamestown heads are taking pride in the fact 619 Ponce will be built from Georgia-grown timber and a regional supply chain, a first for this type of construction in the Peach State, they say. Most wood for mass-timber construction is currently imported from Canada, Austria, or Germany, but keeping the process regional helps tamp down on transportation emissions and overall environmental impact, company officials say.

Jamestown/619 Ponce

619 Ponce’s columns, beams and floor slabs will be constructed of southern yellow pine sawtimber harvested from Georgia forests. That includes supplies from timberland Jamestown owns and manages near Columbus. (Fun fact: The developer currently controls more than 100,000 acres of timberlands across New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, South Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia.) Jamestown is aiming to achieve net zero operational carbon by 2050.

“Mass timber is the future of sustainable development, and the future of mass timber is locally sourced,” Michael Phillips, Jamestown president, said in a prepared statement.

As designed by Handel Architects, 619 Ponce is expected to deliver sometime in 2024. Its timber—milled in Albany and converted to cross-laminated timber in Alabama—will be pieced together onsite by StructureCraft and J.E. Dunn.

In terms of amenities, 619 Ponce is expected to include an onsite daycare, medical facilities, bike storage, and complementary access for tenants to The Roof at Ponce City Market.

It joins two 21-story new towers as part of Ponce City Market’s phase two. The flexible-stay building next door will bring 405 furnished units, while Signal House—geared toward active adults and the 55+ community—topped out over the BeltLine last year.

JAMESTOWN, N.C. (WGHP) — A Jamestown family is feeling grateful after a loss caused by a fire that destroyed nearly everything they own.

Six people and two dogs escaped when their home caught on fire.

It was a normal Friday afternoon on July 15 for the Smith family at their home on Gunsmith Court in Jamestown where they’ve lived for eight years.

“Our whole family was raised here. A lot of memories we worked hard for,” Shanna Smith said.

It took less than three minutes for those memories to up in flames.

“Our world kind of changed,” she said.

Shanna, her five children and two dogs were inside the home around 1:30 p.m. when she heard a loud noise.

She says she was eating lunch in the kitchen with her kids when she smelled a chemical smell.

She opened this garage door and was met by flames.

With her 7-year-old son Brody by her side, she yelled to him to get the family dogs, a 3-year-old lab and a 2- month-old puppy, out of the house.

That’s exactly what Brody did. He ran to his neighbor’s house for safety as his mother got the rest of his siblings outside.

“By the time we got out the door, the whole house had been engulfed in flames.” Shanna said, “I am so proud of Brody. I don’t know a lot of 7-year-olds that wouldn’t kind of cling to you when you see a fire because he saw it. He did exactly what I told him to do.”

The family returned to their former home Tuesday more than a week after the fire. It saddens them to see all their possessions lost, but they’re thankful to have each other

“If it had happened any other time or any other way, we would have had a different outcome. I think God orchestrated it for us all to be where we were so we can get out,” Shanna said.

Fire investigators say the fire could have started with faulty electrical wires, but the official cause has not been determined.

Right now, the family is staying with friends until they can find another place to call home.

A GoFundMe has been set up for the family to recover their losses.
