Lady Indian Jr. Varsity softball team coasts past Wheeler
By Russ Ragan
The Dodge High School Lady Indians junior varsity softball team played the only game of the week as they hosted Wheeler County last Wednesday. Dodge got off to a quick start with a six run first and they coasted to a 12-0 win.
Jessica Joiner got the start on the mound for Dodge. She stranded a pair of runners in the first with a pair of strikeouts. Ava Maxwell and Dylana Barton walked to lead off the Dodge first. Joiner helped herself by bunting the runners to second and third. Reagan Graham singled to right scoring Maxwell and Barton to give Dodge a 2-0 lead. Graham, Med Lewis, Mavah Flowers and Javey Hickman would score runs as Dodge grabbed a 6-0 lead.
Joiner would lead off the second with a double and would come home on a single by Meg Lewis for a 7-0 lead. Joiner coasted on the mound through the fourth with four strikeouts.
Dodge would finish things off in the home half of the fourth. Maxwell would lead off with a single and she would score on a double by Barton for an 8-0 lead.
A double by Joiner would score for a 9-0 lead. An error would score Joiner for a 10-0 lead. Flowers would wrap things up with a single that would score Carson Ethridge and Meg Lewis for the 12-0 final.

All 22 Democrats running for president promised to repeal the Trump tax cuts. They can’t stand prosperity. Democrats hate border control, tax cuts, term limits, oil drilling and conservatism: The Big Five.
Dennis Prager has visited 130 countries and he says The Phillippines are in the top for friendly people – in that country and Phillippinos in America. 
VDare.com writer Peter Brimelow makes a good point as usual when he says mainstream media readers “are notoriously incurious.” Peter Brimelow and VDare.com are always a good read.
One day before the 2016 election, polls claimed Hillary Clinton had a 90 percent chance of winning.
“Trump knows the base better than anyone else in the party and he knows how to win an election. The America First message of his address is the platform for victory – he just needs to remember that, and his immigration moratorium, to make it unassailable.”

Vice President Mike Pence is right. He says Donald Trump is the last line of defense against the radical left.

Hard to believe, even from him: Jeff Flake, fakey Flake, former U.S. Senator, says Basement Biden is “more conservative” than Donald Trump. Dr. Kelli Ward ran against both Flake and John McCain in Republican primaries and she lost both races.  She would’ve been a fine Senator, far better than McCain or Flake. She is now Arizona’s state Republican Party chairman. She was endorsed by Dr. Ron Paul, also. This is where you have a choice – primaries. Primaries always have lower turnouts than general elections. It’s crazy but it’s hard to get women voters to vote for conservative females. Tennessee in 2016 was a pleasant exception to that rule as Marsha Blackburn, a good one, won big in the U.S. Senate race. 
Kamala Harris has a voting record to the left of Bernie Sanders, an avowed socialist. Big media claims she is a “moderate.” One rating system says she is #1, the most liberal U.S. Senator.
Bumper sticker of the day: TRUMP 2020 Make Liberals Cry Again.
Sept. 1, 1983 – the Russian shootdown of the Korean Airliner KAL007 has been sent down the memory hole by big media, barely mentioned each Sept. 1, which is today as this is written, 9-1-20. It doesn’t seem 37 years ago. They murdered 269 people and got away with it.

Lady Indians roll past Washington and Jasper
By Russ Ragan
The Dodge County High School Lady Indians softball team began region play this past week with games against Washington County and Jasper County. Dodge rolled over Washington 10-2. Dodge won a tough road game in a 4-3 win over Jasper County. The Lady Indians, now 8-2 on the year, are currently ranked number two in the state AA polls in the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
It took the Lady Indians a little while to get going against Washington County. They trailed 2-0 going to the better of the first. Logan White got Dodge on the board with a single to right that scored Ava Maxwell who doubled to left center to lead off the inning.
Linzy Bowen then got things under control on the mound. She had four strike outs over the next two innings. Dodge got even in the bottom of the third as White hit a long homer deep over the centerfield fence for a 2-2 game. It was her fifth homer of the year.
Bowen had an easy fourth and then came the Dodge bats. Gracie Lewis got a triple to right with one out and she would score on a wild pitch for a 3-2 lead. The Lady Indians added to the lead as Brooke Perdue singled home Kyla Howell and Ava Maxwell for a 5-2 lead.
Dodge played long ball to add to the lead in the fifth. Catcher Ava Roland hit a deep drive over the left center field fence for her second homer of the year and a 6-2 Dodge lead going to the sixth. Bowen had an easy sixth with a pair of strikeouts in the game.
Makiyah Roberson pushed the Dodge County lead to 7-2 as she singled home Maxwell. The freshman lead off batter scored three runs in the game. Gracie Lewis would end the game as she would single home Roberson and Dylana Barton for the 10-2 final.
Dodge hit the road last Thursday to play region newcomer Jasper County.
The Lady Indians would get the scoring underway in the second. Ava Roland would reach on an error and Dylana Barton would single to lead off the inning. Both Carson Ethridge who ran for Roland and Barton would score on wild pitches and Dodge would take a 2-0 lead. Gracie Lewis would walk and score on a ground out by Jessica Joiner for a 3-0 Dodge lead.
Brooke Perdue would double to lead off the third and score on a wild pitch for a 4-0 lead. Yes, Dodge scored three runs on wild pitches in the game.
Brooke Perdue got the start on the mound for Dodge. The lead remained 4-0 going to the bottom of the fifth. Jasper had four hits, including three infield flies, to get three runs and cut the Dodge lead to 4-3. Perdue would be strong and retire the final six batters in order. She had six strikeouts in the game.

Dear editor,
It is what it is....
A comment made by a Dodge County educator. I have been promoting the formation of an ad hock committee to vet our school calendar for its effect on student learning.
The idea is to create an unbiased committee of educators to weigh the merits of our “traditional school calendar” compared to a proposed TRIMESTER calendar. I believe that our teachers, administrators as well as our Board of Education, are unable to be objective and unbiased toward the traditional calendar we now use. Our agrarian centered calendar is well suited for the education of farmers and lay persons, many of which were without reading skills. Those days are long gone.
Our calendar should have been replaced years ago in order to accommodate today’s technology needed to put a man on Mars. However, our educators remain firmly ensconced in a traditional mind set void of a single supporting argument justifying the use of the traditional calendar. They simply say “it is what it is”.
How could today’s teachers support the use of a 150-year-old calendar that has been identified by researchers as a NEGATIVE factor in student learning? Would you rely on 150-year-old data set to support the creation of school policies and procedures without justification? It may surprise you to hear that our BOE is not required to answer that question or any other question ... it is what it is.
I have been in a unique position to experience firsthand the depth and severity of our bias toward our calendar. I have observed our BOE, our Superintendents and our teachers as they go about attempting to build a school system deserving of the substantial amount of tax dollars the citizens of Dodge County contribute. The pandemic we are experiencing can provide a window to allow us to examine the positive/negative outcomes created by our traditional calendar.
We have a rare opportunity to learn more about the research-based options available such as Johns Hopkins University’s study of Summer Learning Loss. By using an outside entity of professional educators, we can reveal the ill placed reliance on an out dated calendar that research has proven to be a NEGATIVE factor on student learning. It is what it is...
“It is what it is” was the reply made by one of our teachers when asked how can one justify keeping the traditional calendar in spite of it being a negative factor in student learning. It was said that they didn’t like the year-round trimester calendar and wanted to keep the summer break. Please understand the protracted summer holiday is the only cause of Summer Learning Loss according to Johns Hopkins Univ., and by the way, all calendars are year-round.
Actually, the desire to keep the calendar as it is, reveals an acceptance that trading student learning for personal time off is acceptable. It seems ironic that they would rather keep summer break than seek to provide a more effective, efficient and versatile calendar. And by the way all calendars are year-round and if that teacher will listen to my proposal, they will learn that the Trimester Calendar will give teachers about 179 teaching days, 92 holidays days, and 16 fewer equivalent days of discontinuities. These numbers will change as needed to provide versatility.
It is what it is...
I believe that there is a nationwide lack of responsive leadership that places greater value on keeping the establishment “quiet”. There seems to be greater concern in maximizing retirement benefits than maximizing teaching opportunities. Our BOE must provide windows of hope by legitimizing the review of all policies and procedures by unbiased professionals.
There is no shame in asking the experts for help to keep abreast on current teaching and learning strategies. Maybe one day we can proudly point to the TRI-MESTER PRORTOCOL and say ‘thank God it is what it is.
Bob Holland
