Deals abound as home sales stay in doldrumsReal estate agent Julia Cunningham was scouting homes for a California couple on the brink of enjoying a laid-back Lowcountry retirement. But the financial markets crashed those plans, and the would-be buyers called the Coldwell Banker United agent last week to notify her of their decision to keep working. "Considering what happened with the market, they decided to continue working because their retirement portfolio didn't look so good anymore," she said. Potential home buyers were hesitant before the financial crisis, but given the latest wave of bad news, activity in the local real estate market is expected to slow even more. The drama on Wall Street, which has spread around the world, has dampened the chance of an uptick in local home sales. read more... 3 comment(s) / read /add comments Bishops' big step

A 26-year-old man wanted for murder in the death of Kimberly Jones, a St. Stephen mother of four who last August was shot while asleep in her apartment, turned himself in Friday night.
The Berkeley County Sheriff's Office earlier in the day issued a murder warrant for Julian Re'Analdo Crawford after conducting a joint investigation with the St. Stephen Police Department, according to a news release from the Sheriff's Office.
Crawford is being held in the Berkeley County Detention Center, said Dan Moon, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office.
Jones, 24, was killed in the early hours of Aug. 14 when two unidentified gunmen fired at least a dozen times into her unit at Foxcreek Apartments at 260 Ravenell Drive in St. Stephen, authorities said at the time of the shooting.

Local HeadlinesRangers reunited On Feb. 19, 1968, after seven hours in the thick Cambodian jungle, a five-man reconnaissance team headed to safety after scouting out a battalion bivouac area. "We had to cross a trail. We didn't usually use trails," Delbert Ayers of Phoenix said. He was one of about 250 Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol members who served in the Vietnam War. The elite Army force, which later became the 75th Rangers, worked in small teams of five or six, traveling 50 or 60 miles out to monitor enemy activity. Members showed no rank. Fifteen men who served on these teams came together for an informal reunion Friday in Mount Pleasant.  Read more

As more houses were built in the county, and more of its miles of timberland were sold by MeadWestvaco, more people pointed to Norfolk Southern's 12,000-acre recreation reserve of longleaf pine and trophy deer and said, that's next. Conservationists would unroll maps of an emerging cocoon of more than 750,000 acres of protected greenbelt in the three counties around Charleston and point to the gap in upper Dorchester. There was no sizeable protected tract beyond the National Audubon Society's Beidler Forest. Read more

"Proud to be with you," were the only audible words heard over the din of roaring helicopter engines as Bush congratulated the "Simpsonville Stars," winners of this year's Little League Softball World Series. After a short picture-taking session with the players, Bush and first lady Laura Bush headed for Kiawah Island and a closed-door reception with the Republican National Committee. It drew up to 100 people. Read more
