The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help today in locating a missing Laurens County man who was last seen in Oconee County late last Friday night.

A family member of 32 year old Steven Earl Bentley contacted the Sheriff’s Office this afternoon and told Deputies that the last time Steven was seen was around 11pm last Friday night near the Jake’s Marathon location on N. Highway 11 near Salem. According to the family member, Steven walked away from the area of Jake's. Deputies do not know Steven’s direction of travel.

Steven has a listed address in Cross Hill, SC. The Missing Person’s Unit has been notified and an NCIC form has been filled out in order to list Steven as missing in the National Crimes Information Center database.

If you have any information on the whereabouts of 39 year old Steven Earl Bentley, or were in the area of Jake’s Marathon on N. Highway 11 late last Friday evening, and saw someone matching Steven’s description, call 911 immediately. You can also submit a tip to Crimestoppers, where you don’t have to give you name, at 1-844-71-CRIME.

Twenty-five years ago today, an ordinary Tuesday morning became a day America would never forget.

Nearly 3,000 people went to work, boarded airplanes, reported for duty, and said goodbye to their families, never knowing how profoundly the world was about to change.

Today, we remember every life taken on September 11, 2001 — those lost in New York City, at the Pentagon, and aboard all four aircraft. We remember the passengers and crew of Flight 93, whose extraordinary courage in the skies over Pennsylvania prevented another attack. And we remember the families whose lives were forever changed.

As members of the public-safety family, we hold especially close the firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMS personnel, dispatchers, and other first responders who answered the call.

While thousands were desperately trying to escape the danger, they went toward it.

They climbed the stairs. They treated the injured. They guided strangers to safety. They answered the radio. They did the job they had sworn to do — and hundreds never came home. Many more would suffer and die in the years that followed from illnesses connected to their service.

But September 11 also reminds us of something else:

America came together.

We were wounded. We were grieving. But we were united.

Strangers helped strangers. Americans donated blood, supported first responders, raised our flag, prayed together, and asked, “What can I do?”

For a time, the things that divided us seemed smaller than the things that bound us together.

We were Americans.

Twenty-five years later, may we remember the lives we lost, honor those who answered the call, and never forget how a nation stood together in one of its darkest hours.

🇺🇸 We Remember. We Honor. We Stand Together.

📅 Tuesday, September 15, 2026

📍 Long Creek Community Club
12351 Long Creek Hwy

💲 100% FREE for Everyone!

There’s no registration and no cost—just bring your family, invite your friends and neighbors, and come hungry!

Our Community Cooks are about more than sharing a meal. They give us a chance to slow down, visit with the people we serve, get to know one another, and continue building the relationships that make Oconee County such a great place to call home.

A special thank you to the Long Creek Fire Department and Long Creek Community Club for hosting us, and to the Oconee Sheriff’s Foundation and Isaiah 40:31 Foundation for their generous support in making this event possible.

We’ll have the grill hot and the cheesesteaks ready. All we need is YOU!

See you Tuesday in Long Creek as we continue Forging Relationships to Promote a Safer Oconee!
