Easley man killed in two-car accident
EASLEY — An Easley man is dead following a two-vehicle accident in Easley on Monday.
Pickens County Coroner Kandy Kelley said that Robert Chance Conner, 36, of Earls Bridge Road, was killed when the Nissan Ultima he was riding in was involved in a collision at the intersection of S.C. 183 and Jim Hunt Road in Easley. Conner was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, troopers believe the car in which Conner was a passenger was traveling west on Jim Hunt Road while a truck involved in the accident was traveling south on S.C. 183. The collision occurred at 1:25 p.m.
Capone signs with SWU
PICKENS — Ever since the first time he laced up his cleats for junior varsity soccer practice at Pickens High School, Joey Capone knew he was going to be a collegiate soccer player one day.
“The first day of JV, I knew I was going to play at the next level,” he said. “There wasn’t a doubt in my mind.”
Capone officially took the final step in fulfilling that prediction Monday, signing a letter of intent to play for the Southern Wesleyan University Warriors.
There is a River
By. C. Thomas Cloer, Jr.
“Let’s go
to Thompson River; my rod and creel are already in the truck,” he said with a strain in his voice that revealed his weakened state.
“You think you can make it Dad?”
“I can make it if we go at a slow pace, and you don’t start that fast-walking like you’re going to a coon dog that’s treed.”
“We’ll take our time,” I said. “There’s no talk of thunderstorms this evening in the Jocassee Gorges. We’ll walk downhill to the river and then fish back toward the Muster Ground Road. I’ll get my stuff and we’ll get gone.”
