The DeKalb County Republican Party will be meeting on Saturday, March 19, 2022, at 10:00AM at Smithville City Hall at 104 E. Main St. Smithville, TN. State Senator Mark Pody will be on hand to introduce DeKalb County’s new State Senator, Janice Bowling. During the recent redistricting process, DeKalb County went from being in Senate District 17 to Senate District 16. In addition to DeKalb County, Senate District 16 also includes Warren, Grundy, Coffee, Franklin, and Lincoln Counties. Senator Bowling was first elected in 2012, and will be up for reelection in 2024.

“We appreciate the dedicated and conservative representation from Sen. Pody over the years in DeKalb County,” said Dustin Estes, Chairman of the DeKalb County Republican Party. “He has been active in our community and responsive to his constituents, and we wish him well in his new District. We are excited to welcome Sen. Bowling to DeKalb County. She has a reputation as a solid Conservative, and we look forward to working with her.”

Sen. Bowling and Sen. Pody will also give a legislative update on various bills working their way through the Legislature. There will also be an update on future Republican Party events as the focus turns towards the County Republican Primary Election in May, and the County General Election in August. All DeKalb County Republicans are invited to attend.

If you are looking for a great lap dog “Abby” is your girl!

“Abby” is the WJLE/DeKalb Animal Shelter featured “Pet of the Week”

“Abby is our two-and-a-half-year-old Lab mix. She came to us in November. She was part of an abandonment situation along with seven others. Since we got her Abby has been super sweet. She loves people especially kids and gets along well with other dogs. Abby just wants to be in your lap. She is one of our sponsored pets by our “Friends of” organization so her adoption fee is only $40 which includes her spay and all of her vaccinations. She has been heartworm screened and micro-chipped and she will have flea prevention on board, and she is de-wormed,” said Shelter Director Emmaly Bennett.

“ If you are interested in adopting Abby go to our website at https://www.dekalbanimalsheltertn.com/ and fill out an adoption application and we will call you to set up a time for you to come in and meet her,” said Bennett.

The shelter is now open Monday-Friday from 8 to 4 and Saturday from 8 to 12 on Transfer Station Road behind Tenneco Automotive.
