Rains in December were a big bonus to Lake Hartwell in east Georgia. Its level is up nearly four feet from the recent low. Because of that, the Army Corps of Engineers says it probably won’t have to release any water from Hartwell for at least three weeks to help feed downstream needs. And more good news is ahead--forecasters say at least two storms could positively affect the area around the lake in the next week. Lake Hartwell is shared by both Georgia and South Carolina.

East Georgia fire chief faces theft charges
A former fire chief in the town of Arnoldsville, near Athens, has been arrested on theft charges. Agents with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation took 33-year-old Joe Siegert into custody this week. He is charged with three felony counts of theft by conversion. Authorities say $50,000 in grant money meant for the east Georgia town’s volunteer fire department instead was taken by Siegert.
