The Pottawatomie County Election Board will move offices and open in its new location in the former MidFirst Bank building at 330 N. Broadway in downtown Shawnee on Tuesday, April 20.
According to Patricia Carter, secretary of the County Election Board, the current offices on Acme Road will close at 5 p.m. Friday, April 16, to begin the moving process.
The Election Board s phone number will still be (405) 273-8376 and response times may be impacted by the move, she said, but call and emails will be returned as soon as possible.
Carter said the move to the downtown Shawnee building will greatly benefit the Election Board as the location has amenities that will help the office function more efficiently.
Spring gardening after historic low temperatures

Once again it is time to begin Master Gardeners’ weekly gardening articles in the Shawnee News-Star. We appreciate the opportunity to share some suggestions for gardeners to consider. As we approach spring, remember that winter is not over. I recall a snow storm occurring at the end of spring break that delayed opening because the parking lots were full of snow and a snowfall and freeze in the middle of April. Keep those possibilities in mind as you begin doing your spring tasks.
Oklahoma State University horticulturists have issued a caution about pruning shrubs until a little later in March. Because of the severity of the freeze, it is difficult to know how much it affected these plants.
There s no way to see anything : Drivers frustrated with dangerous intersection

BELMONT, N.C. Drivers in Belmont, North Carolina, a small town halfway between Charlotte and Gastonia, are fed up with a busy intersection they say is dangerous.
Thomas Nance said a rough pothole patch on Acme Road is also causing problems, but it s the intersection that has everyone worried about a crash. Nance says a red light is the only solution to prevent something bad from happening and his neighbors agree.
