Fishing for keys in the potty

There are good deeds and then there are GOOD DEEDS.

Don Carney performed the grandfather of GOOD DEEDS during The Great American Brass Band Festival. Danville prides itself on its hospitality whenever strangers come to town, and residents have done everything from give directions to fix flat tires.

"He deserves the good neighbor of the year!" said Carolyn Crabtree, who works for the Convention Center and Visitors Bureau.

A distraught festival-goer approached the staff at the welcome center to say he had dropped his keys in one of the portable toilets.

Carney, who volunteers every year for the festival, came to the rescue. And made Danville proud by using his brain before tackling the job. His son was able to get a large magnet from where he works, and the keys were soon captured by the magnet and hauled out.

Carney, however, didn't stop there. Wearing obligatory rubber gloves, he hosed off the keys and then sanitized them before taking them to the man.
