- An all-call for a lost camera containing anniversary photos: Angela Anderson, of the city of the same name, recently reported to Hearsay that she has lost a camera that contains her 20th wedding anniversary pictures. “I run a daycare, and we were on a field trip. We were at the skating rink — on Bellhaven Road — and we were getting ready to go. Anyway, you know how it is with kids, getting all their shoes back on and stuff. Apparently I set the camera down and just left it. We (Angela and her husband, Ronnie) had just come back from Charleston for our 20th wedding anniversary. I had all my pictures from that trip on the camera. … I had lots and lots of other pictures, too. My grannie turned 87 this year, and we had a huge family reunion. Pictures like that. If I could just get the card (that goes in the camera and contains the photos), that’s all I need. It’s not the camera I care about.” The camera in question is a red Exilim camera. For the sake of the precious pics, please call Angela at 864-933-4051. “I don’t want to get anybody in trouble,” Angela said. “I just want that card back.”
- Whoops! Another matter having to do with missing family heirlooms has come to Hearsay’s attention. If you happened to buy any items from a yard sale in early August on Summers Drive in the Boscobel Subdivision in Pendleton, you might have bought things that the children of the deceased woman whose stuff was sold sure would like to consider buying back. In that case, call Cheryl Nalley at 864-972-0298.
- No wake? No kidding! The Picture of the Day derives from the drought-ridden shores of Lake Hartwell and has been provided to Hearsay by good bud and photographer Bill Powell, who lives in Hartwell, Ga. This “SLOW NO WAKE” sign is located in a limited amount of lake water, just off Ga. 51, at the boat launch located near the Lakeside Citgo.
- As for the fine “Honey Wagon” and what happens to the contents therein: Last week’s rendition of Hearsay noted that a septic-tank-cleaning service truck, spotted in Hartwell, had a name on the back of it that said, “The Honey Wagon.” A thoughtful reader suggested that the contents of The Honey Wagon be spread on Hearsay’s front lawn. Such a thoughtful remark got Hearsay to thinking, “Where in the heck does that stuff go anyway?” In the case of The Honey Wagon, owned by Hartwell’s Bobby Anderson, it gets spread out on his farm — a certain amount of “honey” per acre, the spreading of lime, health department inspections, and such as that. “It’s really disgusting to watch,” said a buddy of Bobby’s. If, on the other hand, you don’t have acreage to accommodate your “honey” and you live around here, it’s likely taken to a facility in Athens, Ga., where it is disposed of. ‘Nuff said?
