An early morning operation conducted by the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office, Eastman Police Department, Georgia Department of Community Supervision and the Tri-County Swat Unit yielded seven arrests.
The early morning operation, with approximately 30 officers, was conducted under the cover of darkness to provide officers with the element of surprise. Two houses in the Sunset area of Eastman were raided simultaneously and searched for drugs and guns.
Suspected drugs were found in both residences and four persons with outstanding warrants from surrounding law enforcement agencies were taken into custody.
Dodge County Sheriff Lynn Sheffield and Eastman Police Chief Becky Sheffield once again displayed their willingness to work with other agencies to fight the drug problem in Dodge County. Sheriff Sheffield and chief Sheffield would like to thank the participating agencies for their help in fighting the drug problem in Dodge County because it is a nationwide problem that affects all the citizens of Dodge County.
Miles Ivory was arrested on three counts of sale of methamphetamine, one count of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, one count of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and one outstanding warrant from the Eastman Police Department.
Adriene Hall was arrested on one count of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and one count of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and violation of oath of office by a public officer. Hall was a corrections officer for the Dodge County Jail at the time of her arrest.
Jerrell Burch was arrested on three counts of sale of methamphetamine, one count of possession of methamphetamine and one count of possession of drug related objects.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
Is it just me, or has anyone noticed the ironic similarities that surround our two former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama? Neither one has ever built anything, open a business, gave anyone a job or signed an employee’s paycheck. They both entered the White House in lean financial condition and after serving the country for eight years they depart and they are millionaires. Now I contrast Donald Trump’s entering the White House already a millionaire after years of hard work, erecting buildings, opening assorted business, providing jobs, and signing paychecks for thousands of people he employed around the world. Considering that Donald Trump’s assets are in a blind trust while he serves this nation and its people as our leader, he accepts no paycheck as his are donated to worthy causes, I think he will be poorer when he departs after eight years, unlike his predecessors. I’ve come to the conclusion that the foundation for the dislikes of President Trump is a four letter word (ENVY!). No professional Washington politician or Trump hater, Demo-Rats, or Republican has ever achieved the success he (Trump) has in his lifetime. Yep, the word envy works for me.
Oh, forgive me, my brain is showing its age. Bill Clinton did hire one female which she will go down as the biggest pig in America. Her name is Monica Lewinsky. Her job description is so vile what she did for Bill Clinton, the Dodge County Newspaper would be hard pressed to print it. It’s a family read paper. Google it for yourself. Something to do with cigars last time I checked.

I’m betting on Trump
SpeedTrap.org covers the USA and Canada and could save you an expensive ticket. One trap is near me, the Ronald Reagan Parkway in Gwinnett County. Many non-English speakers are moving into Gwinnett, where we have lived since 1971. I liked it the old way, semi-rural; now reminds me of Atlanta, crowded and annoying, heavy traffic also. I don’t think Ronnie would appreciate his name being associated with a speed trap.
We’ve been conditioned by establishment Republicans who’ve let us down many times over the decades, says commentator Monica Crowley. She has a good point. So does Laura Ingraham who points out that John Boehner and Eric Cantor are gone because they sold the country out on immigration. We have some more Repubs who should join them in retirement from Congress, along with almost all Democrats. Conservatives or libertarians who seek elite approval are wasting their time.
Vile left-winger Robert DeNiro should stick to acting instead of activism. He can’t resist launching into whining profane anti-Trump tirades.
What are they going to impeach Trump on, excessive economic growth? The Trump train collides with the impeachment express. I’m betting on Trump.
“No race hoax is complete without a 300 person candlelight vigil.”

Dodge holds off Northeast Macon
By Joey Marchant
Dodge traveled to Macon needing a win against Northeast to keep its region championship hopes alive. Northeast came in with a lot of size, strength and experience. That size and strength would give Dodge fits all night. However, in the end Dodge looked like the more experienced team able to keep its composure and make plays with the game hanging in the balance.
Northeast took the opening kickoff out to the Dodge 35 yard line before Jaylon Jaynes could make the tackle. On third down, Northeast Quarterback Travion Solomon threw the ball directly to Dodge’s Nathan Coley at midfield. Coley took it down the sideline for a touchdown, his second touchdown return in the past two games. Mikhail Carr scored the two point conversion to give Dodge an early 8-0 lead.
Dodge again had trouble containing the kick returner, and Carr had to make the tackle at the Northeast 43 yard line. Northeast would use a series of runs and short passes to get to the Dodge 15 yard line, but the Dodge defense would hold. Elijah Williams dropped the runner for a four yard loss on first down. Timmy Johnson almost picked off a pass on second down. Rico Caines sacked the quarterback on third down. A fourth down pass on a corner route fell incomplete as Keldrick Beck defended. Dodge took over at its own 30 yard line.
Dodge came out with Carr at quarterback. He took the snap and ran right picking up 12 yards. Dodge came back with the same play, but a holding call on the perimeter negated a gain by Carr. Kade Harpe then entered the game at quarterback. Harpe rolled left and hit slot receiver Kevin Sykes, Jr., who ran a short out route picking up 10 yards. A Northeast defender gave Sykes a late shove out of bounds and was flagged for 15 yards moving the ball to the Northeast 43 yard line. The Dodge offensive line struggled to block resulting in Daylon Gordon being dropped twice near the line of scrimmage and Harpe being sacked back at midfield. On fourth down, Dodge ran the fake punt play we have seen often in recent years. Caines crouched behind the Dodge linemen next to Carr. Punter Timmy Johnson faked as if the ball was snapped over his head while Carr actually took the snap moving right and slipped the ball to the still crouched Caines who ran back to the left. Northeast sniffed out the fake and tackled Caines after a short gain.
Northeast took over on downs at its own 48 yard line and again used a series of runs and short passes to reach deep into Dodge territory. A Northeast pass was complete on fourth down, but Coley tackled the receiver immediately short of the first down.
Dodge took over at its own 21 yard line. Harpe passed to Carr for six yards, and Gordon carried for five yards and a first down. Harpe carried for three yards. Then Gordon took a handoff and raced 47 yards before being brought down deep in Northeast territory.
Dodge would eventually turn it over on downs at the Northeast 10 yard line early in the second quarter. Northeast would drive the ball into Dodge territory at the 48 yard line before having to punt. A high snap and pressure from Javon McNeal resulted in a short punt that rolled dead at the Dodge 35 yard line.
Dodge went three plays and out. A wild snap caused Timmy Johnson to have to move to his right to catch the ball, and he had to rush his punt, which only netted 18 yards. Johnson took some contact on the play, but no flag was thrown.
Northeast took over at its own 45 yard line, but went three and out. The Northeast punt rolled out of bounds at the Dodge 35 yard line. Harpe later faked to Gordon and rolled left where he spotted Carr running free down the field. Harpe threw a nice easy pass which Carr cradled and took into the end zone for a 67 yard touchdown. Carr’s defender attempted to jam Carr at the line, but then he let Carr go in favor of another receiver running a shallow route. There was no one within 15 yards of Carr when he caught the football. Mangham added the extra point, and Dodge took what looked at the time like a comfortable 15-0 lead.
Dodge again struggled to cover the kickoff, and Carr and Kane Northcutt had to make the tackle at midfield. Northeast took advantage of the good field position on the legs of Deondre Duehart, the Warner Robins High School transfer, who would gash the Dodge Defense for 137 yards and 3 touchdowns on the night. Duehart scored from six yards out on this drive. The extra point was no good, but Dodge was flagged on the play. Northeast trotted Duehart back out, and he converted the two point play to cut the Dodge lead to 15-8. The half would end that way.
Dodge would get the ball to start the second half, but Northeast would intercept a Harpe pass on the Dodge 45 yard line. Duehart would score on a seven yard run for Northeast. The extra point tied the game at 15-15. Dodge had a game on its hands.
The teams would then trade punts with Dodge getting the better field position on the exchange thanks to a 40 yarder by Timmy Johnson. Timmy has really been a pleasant surprise with his punting this year.
Dodge took over at the Northeast 38 yard line where Harpe hit Timmy Johnson on an out route for a 10 yard gain. Harpe gained 12 yards on a keeper. Later Dodge faced a 3rd down and 20 at the Northeast 27 yard line. Harpe hit Tyrese Johnson on a slant route as Johnson split two defenders for a touchdown. However, Northeast’s Roderick Smith obliterated the snapper and blocked the extra point. Dodge led 21-15. That was an illegal play as you are not allowed to hit the snapper in high school football. No flag was thrown. Smith did everything for Northeast but run the concession stand as he played offense and defense recording 4 tackles including a sack and 2 blocked kicks. He was also named Mr. Northeast High School during homecoming festivities.

Dear editor,
I am writing in response to Mr. Robert Belflower’s recent letters concerning Dodge County Head Football Coach Ken Cofer. I do not know coach Cofer extremely well. However, I feel that I am qualified to defend his character based on the impact that I have seen him make on my son and his teammates over the last three years. My son has wanted to play football since before he could walk. He has always been on the small side, and like most kids, he just wasn’t physically mature enough to compete in varsity football as a freshman or sophomore. Sometimes he mistook this for his coaches not believing in him. However, there was one coach who he never doubted believed in him and the other young players, his position coach Ken Cofer. It seemed like every day that he was telling me something that coach Cofer said. He was disappointed when he learned that coach Cofer was leaving to take the head coaching job at Wilcox County. My son asked to go watch coach Cofer’s Wilcox team play in a scrimmage game at Johnson County. I remember telling my son that I didn’t know how Wilcox was going to win more than two games after watching that. Well they won five in the toughest Single A Region in the state and made the playoffs coming within two points of reaching the second round. Despite coach Cofer’s busy schedule and his new team, he was never too busy to respond to my son’s texts.
When my son learned that coach Hodges was retiring, he was excited about the possibility of coach Cofer coaching him again. My son doesn’t like playing for coach Cofer because he goes easy on my son. He often says things like, “Coach Cofer really chewed me out when I missed that block last night.” While I’m sure he doesn’t enjoy getting chewed out, what comes across to me is, he really doesn’t want to disappoint his coach.
One of the first things I remember coach Cofer saying is that he would like to have as many players as would like to get together and visit some different churches in the community once a month. So one Sunday, several team members and coaches attended New Pleasant Hill Baptist where my friend George Fluellen is the pastor. Well it occurred to me that I was 44 years old and had never been to a black church before. It always bothered me a little that we don’t usually worship together if we are going to be in Heaven together, so me and my wife invited ourselves to tag along. Well Pastor George preached the Word, and the music was great. And I was shocked when some of the players got up and sang solos without being prompted. Anyway it was a great experience that we might not have had without coach Cofer. I really don’t know anything about the alleged incidents from years ago to which Mr. Belflower keeps referring. I do know his version of the events of the West Laurens game is either a blatant mischaracterization or a misunderstanding of the facts. I am sure coach Cofer is not perfect just like I am not perfect. He makes mistakes on and off the field. However, as a parent of one of his players, I could not be more pleased with the way he is running his program.

Police overkill
It was six years ago today (10-3-13) that dental hygienist Miriam Carey was gunned down in the streets of D.C. by capitol police as she sped away confused after making a wrong turn, hitting a guard booth, and drawing a chase from the police. This so angered the police that they killed her. She was shot in the back and head five times with her baby girl strapped in the back seat, well away from the White House, more than a mile away, an obvious example of police overkill. Ms. Carey, age 34, had no weapons, no alcohol, no drugs, murdered by police. The tragedy was forgotten in a couple of weeks by most, but not here. I remember these cases. The political class put it down the media memory hole, sort of the way they treated the Soviet murders of those on KAL flight 007 on Set. 1, 1983, all 269 murdered. If the incident doesn’t fit the narrative, big media forgets all about it and the anniversaries of such horrible events pass every year with scant if any mention by the media. Good for WorldNetDaily.com founder Joseph Farah, who questioned the murder of Miriam Carey. There are others who think the killers got away with it. Reverends Jackson and Sharpton weren’t interested, even though Miriam was black. Police investigated and – big surprise here – decided they had done nothing wrong. This shows you how detached the political class is from everyday Americans. I’m typing this on Oct. 3rd and have heard nothing mentioned about this. Don’t forget, this could happen to any of us. Some in the police department thought it was covered up, police at fault, yet nothing was done. Look up her name and you will hear some surprising comments on the way this crime was handled. She did nothing wrong and deserved to live. Her baby should now be age seven and will never see her mother again in this life.

Answers to today’s questions: 1. Lyndon Johnson, good ol’ LBJ, Mr. Vietnam.

Let them be kids
What are we doing to America’s kids to make them political activists? Let them be kids for a few years. Leftwing adults are scaring them to death.
How long could Richard Nixon have stayed out of jail with Bill Clinton’s record, or Joe Biden’s record? Sleepy, creepy, former vice plagiarist crooked Joe, Mr. Ukraine. Donald Trump would blow Joe away in the 2020 election and deservedly so. I’ve still never heard a liberal endorse term limits, have you?
Rudy Giuliani on Andrew McCabe: “That guy was head of the FBI when Joe Biden’s son got $1.5 billion out of China and he didn’t even investigate him.”
“Trump will win 2020 running against Fake News Media.”
Nikitas3.com
People hate the media, the media left hates Trump and Donald hits back. Good for him. Middle America understands and responds at the polls. Trump has sharp political instincts, plenty of skill for a first-time candidate. He knows how to mobilize the conservative vote. Mitt Romney did not.
Pocahontas Elizabeth Warren (PEW) on 9-20-19 called lobbying “legalized bribery” then hired a lobbyist the next day, says SonsOf1776.com writer Andrew Kerr. Kimberly Diaz Scott, Warren’s new lobbyist, previously worked for Planned Parenthood and later headed Warren’s campaign in Florida.
“Wherever there is a jackboot stomping on a human face there will be a well-heeled Western liberal to explain that the face, does, after all, enjoy free health care and 100 percent literacy.”

“Democrats are cranking up the outrage machine.”
Senator John Barrasso (R–Wyoming)
“Truth is better for humanity than ignorance, outrage or spin, and it’s more interesting.”
Steve Sailer on VDare.com 9-16-19
The much-hyped “gender gap” is overrated and overstated. Black women vote almost entirely Democrat, no matter who the candidate is, skewing the result. What the “experts” don’t tell you is in the 2012 presidential election white women voted 56% for Romney, 42% for Obama.

Graduation rate tops the RESA district and beats the state average
“Dedicated to Our Desire to Graduate Everyone” is not just a trite motto for Dodge County High School (DCHS). It is a pledge each teacher, staff member and administrator makes each day to their students, and it’s one that once again has rendered great gains for the school.
A recent report from the Georgia Department of Education shows that DCHS’s 2019 graduation rate, 97.4% surpasses the state average of 82% and places the school at the top of its RESA District.
DCHS Principal Dr. Susan Long was elated to hear these results and quick to give credit to the school’s staff and students for their commitment. In a staff-wide email, Long said, “Thank you so much for ALL you do at DCHS! You make great things happen, and I am honored to be here with you each day!
Long added that the school’s success is the result of the students’ and staff’s “dedication, encouragement, and expertise.”
According to the GaDOE press release, the overall state average is at an all-time high, increasing a total of 12 percentage points since 2012.
DCHS, with its 97.4% graduation rate, ranks among the 71 Georgia school districts with a recorded graduation rates at or above 90 percent and only 24 districts with recorded rates at or above 95%.
“I’m proud today of Georgia’s teachers and students, who are doing the on-the-ground work that leads to increases in our graduation rate and other indicators – including NAEP and Georgia Milestones scores,” State School Superintendent Richard Woods said. [Full Story »]
