"Unethical for Mortician to Serve as Coroner"

The South Carolina Attorney General's office has ruled that it is unethical for a practicing mortician to hold office as coroner. While the ruling is in place, it doesn't appear that it is being enforced. The race for Coroner in Chesterfield County includes a candidate that is a "practicing mortician", so the race in and of itself could provide a testing of the ruling, assuming there is any reaction from the Attorney General's office. A state by state summary of "conflicts of interest in US Coroner Systems" can be found at www.FuneralEthics.org/summary.htm

Yes...in small town America

The weekend presented the area with a reminder that rural America is not immune to those happenings that we often see on TV or in the media. Chesterfield High School was the center of attention when it was discovered that one of their students had assembled the necessary ingredients to construct a bomb. Per reports, the student had also kept a diary outlining his reasoning, intentions and plan of execution. The student's parents made the discovery and though very difficult, they did the right thing by notifying the authorities so that applicable action could be taken. We can deny that a sub-culture exists, but it's attributes are seen daily. Graffiti on property, drug transactions, physical and mental attacks on our children and students, peer pressure, etc. Each time we let an instance slip by without some counter action, we as citizens have assisted in the promotion of this sub-culture...our continued inaction could one day grant it first place in society.

Race for Solicitor

A surprise announcement from Jay Hodge that he is retiring as Fourth Circuit Solicitor and would not be seeking re-election. Will Rogers, an assistant Solicitor in Chesterfield, Darlington, Dillon and Marlboro Counties has thrown his hat into the ring and why not? He has been "in the trenches" for the Fourth Circuit for over 10 years and certainly knows the logistical operations of the office and harnesses a broad understanding of the "supply and demand" of the courts. Mr. Rogers faces some competition from a Darlington attorney, but whom do you fish with? The guide who knows the waters well or the other? Mr. Rogers has launched a website, www.WillRogersforSolicitor.com
The website serves as a valuable communication and information tool for Mr. Roger's campaign and invites input from the public..."sail on Mr. Rogers".

It's HOT !!!

Whew !!! Is our area HOT right now or what? There is much in the works in the form of development for housing and commercial ventures. Land continues to be in high demand
with uses ranging from hunting, recreational, getaway, equestrian, commercial use and for
new home construction. In discussion with developers/marketers, it appears that our region
is on the slate for continued growth, which in and of itself should help the local economy.
Some of our recent sales have included buyers from California, Virginia, Ohio, Florida, New
Jersey, New York and Colorado. In addition, we are working on two lakeside developments
one in Marlboro County and another in Anson County that will offer amenities such as boating,
fishing, hiking, equestrian facilities and more. We are also teamed with two other developments
that will offer homes in the 1500-1600 sq ft range in the Cheraw area & are in dicussions
regarding another development that will offer a mix of lakeside, lakeview and equestrian friendly lots, so lots of potential for continued growth and some exciting properties being made available in the area. Whats next?

Current Real Estate Climate

Cheraw seems to be holding it's own in the real estate arena. Based on the national statistics, we are neck and neck overall. When you get to specifics, our land market is doing greater and continues to gain interests from persons out of the area. The problem has been the supply. There are more buyers than sellers. Small parcels are in the most demand and can range in use from recreational, equestrian, hunting or a homesite. Our landscape has lots of attributes, gentle rolling terrain, trees, pastures, etc. Given the opportunity that the area offers, its no suprise that we have seen the increased interest. Land should continue to be a good investment as it has proven itself over the years. "Land...they're not making anymore."
