The kayak of the man missing at Lake Hartwell has been found–on the Georgia side of the lake, according to Sheriff Mike Crenshaw of Oconee County.  Crenshaw says his office has offered searchers the services of its helicopter to search for the man still missing.  So far, he has been identified as 64 years old and became overdue last evening at the Lake Hartwell State Park near I-85.  In the meantime, American Red Cross volunteers are assisting emergency crews.  As long as needed, they are providing meals, snacks, and hydration to more than 40 responders.  To help neighbors affected by disasters become a Red Cross volunteer or make a financial contribution to Red Cross by calling 864/271-8222 or visiting www.redcross.org/UpstateSC.
