Wedding ceremony performed at gas station
Anderson residents Barry and Tammy Patterson were recently married on the very spot where they met: in front of pump 14 at the Hickory Point gas station. Tammy, an employee of the gas station, said she and Barry got acquainted when he stopped there to fill his tank after work.
“I knew there was something special about [Barry]... the first day I seen him,” Tammy told the Anderson Independent-Mail.
According the report, Barry stood in jeans and a plaid shirt with retired pastor Ace Allen, while Tammy’s maid of honor walked her from the gas station to the pump, where the two were wed. Friends and family later celebrated the marriage at a cookout down the street.

DILLON

Strange improvised grave found in cemetery
The Dillon County sheriff’s department is seeking information on a primitive grave that recently appeared in an area cemetery. A cinder block reportedly marks the grave as belonging to “Spark’s mom.” According to authorities, the grave was discovered by the plot’s actual owner, who was at the cemetery visiting the burial sites of other relatives.
“It doesn’t look professional,” Dillon County Chief Deputy Sheriff Douglas Pernell told the Florence Morning News.
No funeral homes reported burying anyone there and no one is sure whom or what is interred at the site. Authorities are seeking information from the public before excavating the grave.

CHARLESTON

Residents tired of nearby trash incinerator
Union Heights residents say they hope Charleston County doesn’t offer a 20-year contract extension to the company that operates the county’s trash incineration facility near their homes. The facility, slated to close in two years, currently burns roughly 220,000 tons of garbage each year, blanketing the nearby neighborhood with soot and ash.
Aside from potential respiratory and other health problems arising from the ash, many residents are sick of the stench, comparing it to a garbage can that hasn’t been cleaned. Resident Victoria Doctor told the Charleston Post and Courier that it smells like a “fish somebody’s been cleaning.”
Responding to local opposition groups, Charleston County Councilman, Henry Darby, believes the council will vote to close the facility.

FLORENCE

Kennedy reportedly got out of the boat, was caught in a current and drifted for an unspecified distance. He was last spotted at 9:30 that evening. After spending a night in the woods, Kennedy reportedly walked out around 4 p.m. the next day.
