CLAY CENTER – Did you know there are many things we cannot explain? Like dark matter in our universe. We know it exists, but unsure what it is and where it exists. Did you also know what the least explored part of the earth is? The deep sea, where depths can reach seven miles. Only two humans have ever traveled there. The whole region is a mystery to scientists.

On Monday, December 18, Greenwood County Commissioners heard from County Clerk Kathy Robison in regards to election security and equipment. Robison shared that a grant had been awarded for election security. The total project for the amount of $33,550.30, the county paying 10% and the state reimbursing for 90%, would go towards needed work to secure election equipment and would also include locking file cabinets and a trailer to transport equipment. Commissioners approved to proceed with the grant project.

Editor’s Note: Due to the court access portal not being able to be reached, court records were unable to be gathered. Herald staff plans to resume gathering Greenwood County court news weekly once the system becomes available and with the announcement above, we believe that will begin in January. With the announcement from the judicial branch Civil Court, Criminal Court, Domestic Relations, Fish and Game, Limited Civil, Marriage License Applications, Probate Court, Small Claims, State Tax, Statutory Liens and Traffic Tickets are gathered through the 13th District Public Access Portal.
