Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Deputies: 2 women charged after 4 severely underweight dogs found in Anderson (foxcarolina.com) — Four severely underweight dogs were seized from a home on Kudzu Road in Anderson, and their two owners now face multiple animal ill‑treatment charges. Deputies say the dogs are recovering under veterinary care and will be available for adoption through Anderson County PAWS once they're medically cleared, offering residents a chance to give them new homes.
2. Upstate dog survives 50-foot fall into abandoned well, highlights greater SC issue (foxcarolina.com) — An Anderson County family's dog survived a 50‑foot fall into an abandoned well, prompting fresh warnings for local homeowners to check their properties. First responders describe how they rescued the dog, while experts explain how to spot and properly address old, unsealed wells across South Carolina to protect both pets and people.
3. Hundreds seek answers on Lake Hartwell's low water levels at virtual meeting (foxcarolina.com) — Lake Hartwell residents in Anderson County are pushing for clearer answers after a packed virtual meeting with the Army Corps of Engineers about persistently low water levels tied to safety concerns at Clemson's Saddle Dike. With a permanent fix possibly a decade away and funding still uncertain, locals are waiting on dates for a second virtual briefing and in-person information sessions this November.
4. Georgia police officer killed just days after arresting man (themarysue.com) — A Georgia police sergeant was fatally shot days after a tense traffic-stop arrest, and the suspected gunman was later found in Anderson with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Anderson County deputies discovered him during a traffic stop, and he later died at a local hospital as Georgia authorities continue investigating the deadly encounter's motive.
