“Oreo” is the WJLE/ DeKalb Animal Coalition featured “Pet of the Week”

“Oreo is an unspayed female cat about 3 and a half years old. She came here as her owner could no longer take care of her anymore. Oreo really is a cuddle bug. She is very docile and likes to be held and petted. She will be spayed before being adopted. Oreo and all of our other adult cats, usually $60 and $75, are now available for adoption free of charge through the end of the month. Kittens are $25 each,” said Shelter Director Megan Moore.

Make Oreo a member of your family!

The shelter is currently open on Friday from 12 to 4 and Saturday from 10 to 12 noon. Phone 615-597-3647 (DOGS) or visit facebook. Located at 186 Transfer Station Road behind Tenneco Automotive.

The DeKalb Animal Coalition will feature several cats from the shelter in an adoption event at Tractor Supply on West Broad Street in Smithville Saturday, September 28th from 8 a.m. until noon. Come out that morning to see them.

With a presidential election year coming up in 2020, the DeKalb County Election Commission is looking for election-day workers.

“We could use a few more workers in 2020, especially for the March 3 election as some of the people who normally work will not be available that day,” Dennis Stanley, Administrator of Elections said.

The election commission is responsible for officially appointing workers for every election, and the appointments for March will likely begin in December.

Workers are required to go through a brief training class in advance of election day and must be a resident and a registered voter in DeKalb County.

Polls are open on Election Day from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and workers must be in the precinct one hour before polls open to set the precinct up. All the workers must stay the entire day and leave together that evening. Workers are paid for their services.

To obtain more information, potential workers can come by the election office on the first floor of the DeKalb County Courthouse in Smithville or call 615-597-4146.
