Legends Bar & Grill is hosting a special party for an event that doesn't happen all that often.

Skeet Brunson, the owner of Legends Bar & Grill at The Aiken Golf Club, said the restaurant will throw a blue moon party from 7 to 10 p.m. Friday.

The public is invited to attend.

A blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month, according to a release from Legends Bar & Grill.

After this blue moon, there will not be another until 2018, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

For a blue moon to occur, the first full moon must take place at or near the beginning of the month so that the second will fall within the same month; the average span between two moons is 29.5 days, according to the release.

"I haven't seen anyone celebrating the blue moon, so I decided it would be a good idea to throw a little party," said Brunson.

"People are welcome to bring blankets so they can find a good spot to look at the moon."

She said the sprinklers will be turned on for the kids to play in, and the restaurant will be selling hot dogs, hamburgers and drinks.

"There will also be some form of entertainment, whether that's a DJ or live entertainment; we aren't exactly sure yet," she said.

There will be specials on Blue Moon beer and prize giveaways Aiken Golf Club is at 555 Highland Park Drive. For more information, call 803-641-2094.

The SPCA Albrecht Center for Animal Welfare on Willow Run Road was preparing Wednesday to take in and care for three dogs found with their muzzles taped shut in Plum Branch on Tuesday.

"The McCormick County Sheriff's Department is going to bring them to us when the current owner signs the paperwork to relinquish the three dogs," said Albrecht Center President and CEO Barbara Nelson late Wednesday afternoon. "Supposedly, it is imminent from the information that we have been given by the Sheriff's Department."

The dogs were chained to a wall on the back porch of home and were surrounded by feces, according to a story on the website for WCIV-TV/ABC News 4 in the Charleston area. There was no food or water nearby.

"I got a call from the Humane Society of the United States about the dogs," Nelson said. "They explained the situation in McCormick County and asked if we would have enough room and be willing to take them. We said we would."

Two of the dogs are Bluetick Coonhounds. The other is a German Shepherd.

"We honestly do not know the condition of the dogs at this time," Nelson said. "We have seen photographs. Their muzzles were taped up to their eyes with duct tape. When they arrive, we will have a veterinarian check their mental and physical health."

It isn't unusual for the Albrecht Center accept animals that have been treated cruelly by their owners from outside of Aiken County, Nelson said.

"We have a good reputation for taking care of cruelty cases," she said. "We get them from everywhere."

A survey to give residents an opportunity to share their thoughts about the state of the City of Aiken and its direction is in the planning stages, new City Manager John C. Klimm told members of the Aiken Council of Neighborhoods at its meeting Tuesday.

The purpose of the professionally administered, random-sample survey will be to give a voice to residents, especially residents who might feel disconnected from local government, Klimm said.

"I know that there are segments of our community that don't feel that their voice is being heard, and the best way to deal with that is to, I think, have a random sample survey where everyone in the community has the same chance of being contacted and asked a series of questions and allowed to give input," Klimm said.

The Aiken Council of Neighborhoods is an umbrella group for Aiken's recognized and approved neighborhood organizations.

Although Aiken - with a population of about 30,000 - is considered a small city, it is large enough to make knowing what the entire community is thinking difficult, Klimm said.

"We all have our circle of friends, and we think we have the pulse of the community; but whether or not that's true remains to be seen," Klimm said. "I've found that the use of a survey is one way to really hear objectively from the citizens."

Klimm said he was "intrigued" by the City's television access, channel 4, on Atlantic Broadband cable.

He recently introduced "Aiken This Week," a new broadcast program produced in conjunction with the Aiken Standard that broadcasts City meetings; Klimm said he plans to "ramp up" the program significantly.

"Other than the City Council, there are very important meetings happening every single night in this town," Klimm said. "But, if you can't come here and be in the audience, that doesn't mean you don't care about what decisions are being made or the thought processes of the decision makers.

"The ability of any resident to truly come to understand what's going on is truly difficult if we don't use all of the tools that are available. So, I'd love to hear your thoughts, but I'd really like to hugely increase the amount of programs that we are doing now."

Klimm also told the neighborhood representatives he hopes to attend an association meeting for each group.

"I have to understand what your concerns are for me to be successful," he said. "Without you, I can't be successful."

Klimm said, since he became Aiken's city manager in late April, he has had more than 200 meetings with residents.

"A good week for me is when I've been out in the community at least four or five times," he said. "I try to set some time every week to just listen because I can't be effective without that."

Following Klimm's presentation, representatives from the neighborhoods expressed concerns, including:

- Drainage problems

- Absentee homeowners and landlords who neglect their property

- "Doughnut holes," areas of the city surrounded by unincorporated parts of the county

- More development on the Northside of the city to include businesses such as Olive Garden and KFC restaurants

- Issues in Crosland Park

- Sidewalks for neighborhoods

The Aiken Council of Neighborhoods' purpose is to promote communication and cooperation among the organizations, celebrate a sense of community and provide a forum for the organizations to discuss specific concerns.

The group will sponsor a safety awareness event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 19 at the Municipal Building at 214 Park Ave. S.W.

Toddler found unresponsive in home filled with dead animals

GRAY COURT, S.C. (AP) — A 2-year-old boy remained in the hospital in critical condition Wednesday after he was found unconscious and bruised in a Gray Court home filled with dozens of dead and dying animals.

Multiple media outlets report that Laurens County deputies were called to the home Tuesday evening after the boy's mother, Savannah V. Morgan, said the boy had choked. She later said she dropped the child.

Authorities say the 25-year-old Morgan physically abused the boy, causing him to suffer bleeding in the brain.

Lt. Scott Franklin says Animal Control officers seized dozens of dead animals, including 48 rats and 10 python snakes.

Morgan has since been charged with three counts of child neglect and one count of child abuse and cruelty to animals. It was not clear if she has an attorney.

2nd annual sweetgrass harvest on Corps of Engineers tract

ST. STEPHEN, S.C. (AP) — It's the second year sweetgrass is being harvested on a tract owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the South Carolina Lowcountry.

More than 50 people are expected to be out Thursday near St. Stephen pulling the soft grass woven into baskets by slaves and their descendants for centuries along Southeast coast.

The grass has been harder to find in recent years because of coastal development. The Corps' Charleston District has planted more than sweetgrass 13,000 plants in tracts from the North Carolina line to Daufuskie Island.

The pulling of the grass is dedicated to the victims of last month's Emanuel AME Church shooting in Charleston. A cross woven of grass from the tract will be presented later to the church.

Hope for miracle dims but search goes on for missing boys

TEQUESTA, Fla. (AP) — Families hoped for a miracle even as science nagged that one was improbable and rescue crews went into a seventh day of searches Thursday for two teens missing at sea.

Though it seemed unlikely a medley of agencies would continue their hunts much longer, the Coast Guard, which is leading the effort, insisted it remained an "active and open" case now focused off the South Carolina coastline.

"We're still searching," Chief Petty Officer Ryan Doss said Wednesday evening, with no immediate end in sight.

Doss called the decision on how long to continue looking for the 14-year-old fishermen, Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos, a mix of "art and science," that juggles knowledge of how long people can survive adrift with unknowns on whether the boys had flotation devices and drinking water — and even the extent of their physical stamina.

"Not knowing really adds an element of challenge to everything," he said.

Those following the story around the world lit up Twitter and Facebook with thousands of messages of support, including "Never give up," ''Can't stop thinking about them," and "Keep the faith and prayers going and hope!" People turned out at local vigils and more than $185,000 was raised online to fund a private search. Residents turned up as dusk fell on beaches and lit candles.

The saga of the two boys from Tequesta, Florida, began Friday. Their parents believed their fishing outing would take them to a local river and waterway, as was the rule in previous solo trips, not to deep Atlantic waters. Summer storms moved through the area that afternoon, and when the teens didn't return on time, the Coast Guard was alerted and began their day-and-night search.

The Coast Guard has covered a mammoth search area of nearly 40,000 square nautical miles, stretching from the waters off South Florida up through South Carolina. It has proven a frustrating ordeal, with no new clues since the teens' capsized boat was located Sunday. Sightings of floating objects occasionally spurred hope before being found irrelevant.

A group commissioned to conduct a high-level review of the Savannah River Site's MOX program touched down at the site earlier this week and is still there to assess MOX and further examine its rising cost projections.

A spokesman for the National Nuclear Security Administration, or NNSA, confirmed that the group, known as the Red Team, is on site this week.

The Red Team was assembled by U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and has been instructed to, among other things, study work at the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility, the main building for the nation's MOX method of plutonium disposition.

The method includes the construction of multiple facilities at SRS and other DOE facilities that would convert 34 metric tons of plutonium into commercial nuclear fuel. The effort is part of nonproliferation agreement with Russia.

The cost projections of the project have risen to as much as $51 billion, pushing Moniz to call for a Red Team assessment that is due by Aug. 10.

The Red Team, led by Thom Mason, the director of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been told to evaluate previous cost estimates of plutonium dispositions alternatives.

In addition, the Red Team is expected to analyze ways to modify the MOX fuel approach to reduce costs, examine the risk assumptions that can impact the lifecycle cost and study the scheduling and technical viability of MOX.

In June, Moniz said MOX is the "preferred option" for plutonium disposition, but that properly funding the program would cost more than $1 billion a year.

Earlier this month, that point was reiterated by Pete Hanlon, a high-ranking administrator in the National Nuclear Security Administration, during a nuclear meeting in Columbia.

"We are faced with budget issues with respect to this program, and that is coupled with the growing lifecycle cost of this program," Hanlon said.

The Red Team review postdates the release of a study that prices the MOX lifecycle cost at $51 billion. The congressionally-mandated study was conducted by Aerospace Corp., a California-based nonprofit corporation that operates a federally funded research and development center.

The figure is based on whether MOX was to be funded at $500 million per year, closer to the level the Department of Energy has said it would take to make significant progress. If MOX was funded at $375 million per year - $30 million less than its current funding - Aerospace reported it would cost about $110 billion to complete.

Aerospace compared the MOX method to a downblending method, which would be executed using inhibitor materials, or materials that slow down the chemical process. The solution would then be packaged into canisters and shipped to a repository for permanent disposal.

Using downblending, Aerospace wrote that disposition would total $17 billion.

The MOX project is about 65 percent complete and employs 1,700.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Family and friends of a South Carolina state senator slain at the Charleston church he pastored have set up a foundation in his honor.

The Honorable Reverend Clementa C. Pinckney Foundation is being launched Thursday on what would have been Pinckney's 42nd birthday. Its mission is to improve the quality of life for all South Carolina citizens by backing religious, educational and charitable causes Pinckney supported.

Pinckney's widow, Jennifer, is chairing the foundation. She says in a news release that she's "answering God's call to continue my husband's work."

State Sen. Gerald Malloy and Rev. Kylon Jerome Middleton are helping get the foundation set up.

Pinckney was among nine people killed June 17 at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston. The suspect, Dylann Roof, is due in court Friday on federal charges.

A Saluda woman has been accused of fraud after she allegedly added more money to the tip amount while working at an Aiken restaurant.

Brandy Skinner, 39, was arrested July 23 by Aiken Department of Public Safety officers after responding to a restaurant on Fabian Drive.

Officers said they met with one of the restaurant managers who said he had an employee that was suspected of fraud after receiving complaints about monetary discrepancies from customers involving Skinner, according to police.

The manager showed receipts from June 28, July 12 and July 19, police said.

All transactions in question showed Skinner as the employee, and showed she added $1 and $2 tips on June 28 and $5 and $10 tips to transactions on July 12, according to reports.

Skinner told officers she did not mean to purposely add the tips onto the bills, and she believed the management staff was trying to get her in trouble because she knew too much about their personal lives, police said.

Skinner was transported to the Aiken County detention center where she was later released.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Athletes in next year's Summer Olympics here will be swimming and boating in waters so contaminated with human feces that they risk becoming violently ill and unable to compete in the games, an Associated Press investigation has found.

An AP analysis of water quality revealed dangerously high levels of viruses and bacteria from human sewage in Olympic and Paralympic venues -- results that alarmed international experts and dismayed competitors training in Rio, some of whom have already fallen ill with fevers, vomiting and diarrhea.

It is the first independent comprehensive testing for both viruses and bacteria at the Olympic sites.

Brazilian officials have assured that the water will be safe for the Olympic athletes and the medical director of the International Olympic Committee said all was on track for providing safe competing venues. But neither the government nor the IOC tests for viruses, relying on bacteria testing only.

Extreme water pollution is common in Brazil, where the majority of sewage is not treated. Raw waste runs through open-air ditches to streams and rivers that feed the Olympic water sites.

As a result, Olympic athletes are almost certain to come into contact with disease-causing viruses that in some tests measured up to 1.7 million times the level of what would be considered hazardous on a Southern California beach.

Despite decades of official pledges to clean up the mess, the stench of raw sewage still greets travelers touching down at Rio's international airport. Prime beaches are deserted because the surf is thick with putrid sludge, and periodic die-offs leave the Olympic lake, Rodrigo de Freitas, littered with rotting fish.

"What you have there is basically raw sewage," said John Griffith, a marine biologist at the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project. Griffith examined the protocols, methodology and results of the AP tests.

"It's all the water from the toilets and the showers and whatever people put down their sinks, all mixed up, and it's going out into the beach waters. Those kinds of things would be shut down immediately if found here," he said, referring to the U.S.

Vera Oliveira, head of water monitoring for Rio's municipal environmental secretariat, said officials are not testing viral levels at the Olympic lake, the water quality of which is the city's responsibility.

The other Olympic water venues are under the control of the Rio state environmental agency.

Leonardo Daemon, coordinator of water quality monitoring for the state's environmental agency, said officials are strictly following Brazilian regulations on water quality, which are all based on bacteria levels, as are those of almost all nations.

"What would be the standard that should be followed for the quantity of virus? Because the presence or absence of virus in the water ... needs to have a standard, a limit," he said. "You don't have a standard for the quantity of virus in relation to human health when it comes to contact with water."

Olympic hopefuls will be diving into Copacabana's surf this Sunday during a triathlon Olympic qualifier event, while rowers take to the lake's water beginning Wednesday for the 2015 World Rowing Junior Championships. Test events for sailing and marathon swimming take place later in August.

More than 10,000 athletes from 205 nations are expected to compete in next year's Olympics. Nearly 1,400 of them will be sailing in the waters near Marina da Gloria in Guanabara Bay, swimming off Copacabana beach, and canoeing and rowing on the brackish waters of the Rodrigo de Freitas Lake.

The AP commissioned four rounds of testing in each of those three Olympic water venues, and also in the surf off Ipanema Beach, which is popular with tourists but where no events will be held. Thirty-seven samples were checked for three types of human adenovirus, as well as rotavirus, enterovirus and fecal coliforms.

The AP viral testing, which will continue in the coming year, found not one water venue safe for swimming or boating, according to global water experts.

Instead, the test results found high counts of active and infectious human adenoviruses, which multiply in the intestinal and respiratory tracts of people. These are viruses that are known to cause respiratory and digestive illnesses, including explosive diarrhea and vomiting, but can also lead to more serious heart, brain and other diseases.

The concentrations of the viruses in all tests were roughly equivalent to that seen in raw sewage -- even at one of the least-polluted areas tested, the Copacabana Beach, where marathon and triathlon swimming will take place and where many of the expected 350,000 foreign tourists may take a dip.

"Everybody runs the risk of infection in these polluted waters," said Dr. Carlos Terra, a hepatologist and head of a Rio-based association of doctors specializing in the research and treatment of liver diseases.

Kristina Mena, a U.S. expert in risk assessment for waterborne viruses, examined the AP data and estimated that international athletes at all water venues would have a 99 percent chance of infection if they ingested just three teaspoons of water -- though whether a person will fall ill depends on immunity and other factors.

Besides swimmers, athletes in sailing, canoeing and to a lesser degree rowing often get drenched when competing, and breathe in mist as well. Viruses can enter the body through the mouth, eyes, any orifice, or even a small cut.

The Rodrigo de Freitas Lake, which was largely cleaned up in recent years, was thought be safe for rowers and canoers. Yet AP tests found its waters to be among the most polluted for Olympic sites, with results ranging from 14 million adenoviruses per liter on the low end to 1.7 billion per liter at the high end.

By comparison, water quality experts who monitor beaches in Southern California become alarmed if they see viral counts reaching 1,000 per liter.

"If I were going to be in the Olympics," said Griffith, the California water expert, "I would probably go early and get exposed and build up my immunity system to these viruses before I had to compete, because I don't see how they're going to solve this sewage problem."

However, Dr. Richard Budgett, the medical director for the International Olympic Committee, said after seeing the AP findings that the IOC and Brazilian authorities should stick to their program of testing only for bacteria to determine whether the water is safe for athletes.

"We've had reassurances from the World Health Organization and others that there is no significant risk to athlete health," he told the AP on the sidelines of an IOC meeting in Malaysia.

He went on to say that "there will be people pushing for all sorts of other tests, but we follow the expert advice and official advice on how to monitor water effectively."

Many water and health experts in the U.S. and Europe are pushing regulatory agencies to include viral testing in determining water quality because the majority of illnesses from recreational water activities are related to viruses, not bacteria.

A driver and residents are without injuries after the driver's SUV crashed into the Cameron Cove Apartments on Five Notch Road in North Augusta.

The vehicle drove through a fence before falling off a retaining wall, and coming to a rest on an apartment building at 10 p.m. Wednesday night, according to the North Augusta Department of Public Safety.

The driver had a "medical episode," according to North Augusta Department of Public Safety incident reports.

Residents were not evacuated from the apartment complex, police said; but the building will have to be inspected.

It took responders nearly three hours to get the car out since it was completely vertical, police said.

The North Augusta Department of Public Safety has yet to determine whether charges will be made against the driver.

SUV crashes into N.A. apartment building

A dog housed at the Aiken County Animal Shelter that was in danger of being euthanized Friday has found a home; however, there are still other dogs in need of one.

Joshua, who went viral on the Internet, found an owner just before the shelter closed Thursday.

But because of the high number of pets that have been taken to the shelter this summer, many other dogs - and cats - need to be adopted.

"We expect more dogs could be in danger if we do not get more people in to adopt," said Shelter volunteer Bob Gordon, who also is the publicity director with Friends of the Animal Shelter.

Fees for all adult cats, which already have been spayed or neutered, have been waived through Friday.

To adopt a dog or cat, call the Aiken County Animal Shelter at 803-642-1537 or visit at 333 Wire Road in Aiken.

Dr. Terry Michalske, the director of the Savannah River National Laboratory, has been named National Laboratory Director of the Year by the Department of Energy's Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization.

According to the national lab, or SRNL, the award recognizes successful directors who display leadership and commitment to maximizing small business utilization. Award recipients do this through policies, procedures, outreach and placing small business as a top priority.

John Hale, the director of the small business group, said working with Michalske has helped Hale gain appreciation for Michalske's hands-on leadership at SRNL.

"He uses collaborative approaches to engage small businesses so they can help the laboratory perfect its technologies and processes in the nuclear environment," Hale said.

Hale introduced the laboratory director award as a new category this year in the Secretarial Small Business Program, making Michalske the first recipient of the honor.

Michalske said his support of small businesses comes from a belief that they are the cornerstone of the nation.

"As a national laboratory, it is our responsibility to encourage economic development and foster good relationships with our small businesses," Michalske said.

He added that the "real strength" of a national laboratory is its people and its partnerships, making his honor a team accomplishment.

"By joining hands with small business, we are able to have the flexibility and attention necessary for advances in clean energy, national security and environmental management," he said. "Without our small business partners, we would not be able to successfully fulfill our role in advancing science for the nation."

Jonathan and Jennifer Cobb are bringing a remarkable story to Aiken - a 4,000-mile trek across the country that ended in June.

The couple will appear at Talatha Baptist Church on Sunday at 11 a.m., describing their Walk Across America trip as a way to honor their late daughter Julia, who died of cancer in 2013. Her parents have been raising funds toward pediatric cancer research through the JuCan Foundation, as in Julia Can.

A minister now living in Houston, Texas, Jonathan is the son of the Rev. David and Dena Cobb, and grew up in New Ellenton.

"They have been a major inspiration in their faith," said Kara Carter, a family friend.

Talatha Baptist Church is located at 361 Talatha Church Road.

A man reported Wednesday his truck on Bunkers Drive had been broken into, and money was missing.

Officers performed a traffic stop on Laurens Street on Wednesday after a scooter with a moped tag was traveling at a high rate of speed. Citations were issued for driving under suspension and improper display.

Officers responded Tuesday to a wreck on Fabian Drive where a woman had hit other vehicles. The woman was determined to be highly intoxicated and was arrested for driving under the influence.

A Wagener woman was identified as the victim of an Orangeburg murder.

Lateefah Williams, 21, of Festival Trail Road in Wagener, was identified Thursday as the victim in a Wednesday stabbing, according to police reports.

Malcolm Williams, 24, was arrested Thursday morning for questioning in connection with the death of Lateefah Williams.

"This is a tragic situation in which a young lady lost her life," Orangeburg County Sheriff Leroy Ravenell said in a press release. "We are thankful our investigators and SLED agents were able to take this individual into custody and get him off the streets."

Williams was arrested at a relative's residence near North by Orangeburg investigators and agents with the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division, according to reports.

Ravenell said Williams was considered armed and dangerous at the time he was apprehended in Orangeburg County.

The sheriff said the exhaustive investigation by Orangeburg detectives determined the actual stabbing, however, took place in Batesburg-Leesville before the woman was driven to Orangeburg County, according to the report.

Orangeburg investigators continue to work with the Batesburg-Leesville authorities, who will be the charging agency should a murder charge be sought.

Orangeburg County Sheriff's investigators were notified just before 7 p.m. after Williams called 911 himself, and said he had "killed his girlfriend and left her body in the woods," the incident report states.

Relatives of the suspect told arriving officers that Williams also told them he had killed his girlfriend, leaving her body at a remote location off Bricin Drive less than a mile away, according to reports.

OCSO investigators searching the Bricin Drive area spotted a vehicle about 200 yards off the roadway in a wooded area; when they approached what turned out to be a Chevrolet, they found a woman in grass on the side of the vehicle, police said.

Investigators checked the woman for any signs of life but realized she was deceased, the report states.

Williams was out on a $1,092 personal recognizance bond for a separate stabbing incident in January, police said.

According to that Jan. 30 incident report, Williams called 911 to report he had stabbed a relative. Williams told investigators then he had stabbed a 27-year-old man after an argument over food, the report states.

Williams was charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.

Aiken Speakeasy and Eats opened its doors Thursday with a mission: To raise as much money as possible for residents who lost their homes at The Colony at Southpark fire on July 20.

Before the benefit even started, money was already being donated to the benefit.

"I got here this morning, and someone had slipped an envelope under the door with $500 in it," said Angela Richardson, the manager at Speakeasy. "It's amazing how much people want to contribute."

Within the first hour, an estimated $2,000 had been collected, according to Speakeasy owner Arlene Iannelli.

The plan for delivering the money is still in the planning stages, but Iannelli has suggested dividing the funds equally into gift cards and giving the cards to each family.

"I would safely say we have about 80 to 90 dinners, and that's without walk-ins," said Richardson.

A raffle for a bottle of Angel's Envy whiskey was also held. Tickets were $5.

Most of the guests at Speakeasy didn't know any victims of The Colony fire personally.

"It's for a good cause, and we wanted to help," said Nancy Langlois as she listened to the acoustic stylings of Augusta native Chris Ndeti.

Nobody was injured after an apartment fire at The Colony left 22 people without a home.

A plastic surgeon who grew up in Aiken will star in a new Lifetime reality series about three black plastic surgeons in Atlanta.

Dr. Marcus Crawford of Aiken said "Atlanta Plastic" is the title of the show, which will also feature Dr. Wright Jones and Crawford's partner Dr. Aisha McKnight-Baron.

Crawford said the show is special because it's the first of its kind.

"There has never been a show with three African-American surgeons before," he said.

The show will focus mainly on minorities looking to get plastic surgery.

Crawford said there will be eight shows that will follow three patients each episode, one for each surgeon; and the patients' journeys will be documented from consultation to post-operation.

This is not the first time Crawford or the other surgeons have been pitched a reality show, he said. He said he gets calls from different shows frequently and usually just hang up, but this show felt right to him.

"You never quite know the angle a reality show is going for, so you have to be careful," he said. "I said yes to this show because it won't be going into any back stories that would invade our privacy or any drama that could hurt us."

The first episode will feature a middle-aged woman who seeks a tummy tuck, a breast lift, liposuction and more, Crawford said.

"Atlanta Plastic" will premiere at 10 p.m. Friday on Lifetime.
