With Barnwell County gearing up for the three school board races, the county voter registration office has already been fielding questions about the election process.

Naomi DeFrenn, the director of the Barnwell County Voter Registration and Elections Office said that she has seen particular interest in these school board elections.

"I've gotten a lot of calls about District 45, mostly questions on how to register voters," she said.

The school board elections are April 13. The last day to register to vote for residents to participate in this election is March 13.

The Blackville Police Department is looking for two men who were involved in a March 7 shooting incident.

Blackville Police Chief John Holston said Tracy Davis, 25, and Tyrone James, 35, both of Blackville, were involved in a shooting incident on 30 Falcon St. that sent a female bystander to the hospital.

There was a celebration going on at the address when some kind of altercation took place between Davis and James, said Holston.

James left and returned to the party with a rifle and confronted Davis, he said.

Don't forget to clock in Sunday night -- not for work, but when daylight-saving time changes again.
Officially, clocks should be set ahead one hour at 2 a.m., Sunday morning, March 14, which will make it 3 a.m.

Most people change their clocks before retiring for the evening.

The hour lost this coming Sunday will be regained Nov. 7 when clocks are set back 60 minutes.

Beginning in 1987, daylight-saving time began with the first Sunday in April and ended with the last Sunday in October.
