Citizens of Dodge County,
As I have had a few months to process my journey with Covid-19, I now realize how blessed I am to see a new year. For those who are unfamiliar with my medical journey, I was diagnosed with Covid-19 mid-late September and began the quarantine process immediately. During that time, my symptoms were controlled with medications at home. It wasn’t until my quarantine period was completed that my health quickly began to decline. Without any warning, I began to struggle to breathe, as well as, started running a fever in excess of 104 degrees. It was then that my wife, Cori Reddock Abney, and daughter, Ansley became so concerned that they took me to a Macon hospital ER for medical help. Here, I was diagnosed with Covid Pneumonia, placed on oxygen, and left in the emergency room lying flat on my back for 27 straight hours. Unfortunately, there were no rooms available and this particular ER was very short staffed so, it became apparent that I was not going to be receiving the level of care that I needed at that time. As a result, my wife returned to Macon and proceeded to take me home while seeking other options.
My wife, Cori, had consistently been requesting prayer from friends online when out of the blue, Miranda Bush, ER Director at Dodge County Hospital, reached out to her out of concern. She told my wife that if there was anything that she could do to help, she would be happy to do so. By the grace of God and with the help of Sandra Campbell, Chief Nursing Officer, as well as, Miranda Bush, they were able to see me in the Dodge County Hospital ER for an evaluation the very next morning. Within minutes of arriving, I was assessed, my lungs were scanned, and I was finally placed in ICU under the care of Dr. Lou Barker and Dr. Habigaile Cribe. This was just the beginning of a very intense battle to overcome this awful virus.
My stay at Dodge County Hospital involved two weeks in ICU, a few days on the Covid wing, and an additional week in a regular hospital room. Along the way, I had the privilege of developing relationships with many ICU nurses, floor nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, CNA’s, cafeteria workers, custodial staff members, and last but not least, Dr. Barker and Dr. Cribe. The level of personalized care, professionalism, attention, love, and compassion shown to me throughout my stay was beyond comprehension. I will forever be grateful to each and every one of these individuals for helping save my life.
Dodge County, please do not ever take for granted the calibre of medical professionals and facilities that you have been blessed with in Eastman. From this point forward, Dodge County Hospital will be my family’s first choice for hospital care. Again, thank you to DCH from the bottom of my heart for caring for me during my darkest days. I wish you all a very Happy New Year filled with blessings and good health.
Sincerely,
Shayne Abney (Cochran, GA)

Funny that we never hear about the vast left wing conspiracy, do we.
Could Donald Trump have stayed out of prison with China Joe Biden the big guy’s record? Don’t forget the big guy’s 10 percent cut. Those who watch CNN for news seem not to know anything about this.

Where did they find annoying RINO Lisa Murkowski? Her father Frank Murkowski appointed her to his Republican U.S. Senate seat after he got elected governor of Alaska a few years back and she’s still around. She now wants Donald Trump to resign just before he was leaving office anyway. Maybe useless Lisa should resign herself. She’s a big nothing, one of the worst Republicans out there.
We need to get rid of mail-in ballots and require photo ID to vote. Fact check the so-called fact checkers. Many are dedicated leftists, not fair at all.

SPORTS
BY RUSS RAGAN
There is a lot of football news to report and I am happy to say nearly all of it went really well. The Falcons “finished the drill” they made things interesting before losing 44-27 to Tampa Bay. It took all the Bulldogs had but they found a way in a 24-21 win over Cincinnati. Dodge County and former bulldog Leonard Floyd wrapped up a really good regular season with the Rams.
Let’s start with the bulldogs as they played undefeated Cincinnati in the Peach Bowl. Things didn’t look good as they trailed 21-10 going to the fourth quarter but things came together late in the 24-21 win. It was only an okay day for Daniels despite the numbers. He threw for 392 yards including a really good two-minute drill. George Pickens had 7 catches for 135 yards and a touchdown.
The big story was the Georgia defense and red shirt sophomore Azeez Ojulari. The defensive end had three sacks and a forced fumble in the win. He will go to the NFL draft and rightly so. He is currently projected to go in the first round.
Okay, back to the game. The dogs tailed 21-19 with 7 seconds to go. Sophomore kicker, Jack Podlesny lined up for a career long 53-yard field goal. He hit it flush with a nice little draw and dead down the middle for the 22-21 lead.
Ojulari got a sack in the end zone for the final points.
So, what’s next for the dogs? Well, they will finish in the top ten once again. Hopefully, Daniels, White and company will mostly come back for a really good chance for a special 2021 season.
Speaking of the bulldogs and Dodge County Indian, Leonard Floyd has had a really good year with the Rams. He picked up a sack and he had a quarterback hit in the Rams 18-7 must win over Arizona. He had 9 ½ sacks for the season for the layoff bound Rams.
Sunday’s missions were simple for the Falcons. Lose and they draft no worse than fourth in April’s draft. A win and they could fall as far as number 13. Things started good as Brady and Tampa Bay lead 23-10 at the half. Of course, the Falcons would make things close as it was 23-20 going into the fourth quarter. Fortunately, Brady got hot again in he fourth quarter for the 44-27 final.
So, what happens now? Well, they will pick fourth in April’s draft. Do you take a quarterback? Keep in mind, Matt Ryan will be the starter in 2021 because he has a massive 40 plus millions dollar cap hit. I do take the quarterback. Either Justin Fields, who looked good against Clemson or Zach Wilson from BYU will be there in the fourth spot. They can also trade down some and get maybe Mac Jones from Alabama? There are several ways they can do this.
The team made news Sunday night as they announced they will be interviewing Kansas City offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy for the job. He is top pick for job openings. Personally, I would love him or any high-powered offensive coordinator. I have had it with defensive coaches.
I am sure there will be plenty of rumors soon.

The court at trial can enter a judgment ending your rights to the child if you fail to appear and show cause why your parental rights should not be terminated. A biological father may lose all rights to the child and not be entitled to object to the termination of his rights unless, within 30 days of receipt of this notice, he files: (1) a petition to legitimate the child; and (2) a notice of the filing of the petition to legitimate with the Juvenile Court of DODGE, Georgia.
A party has the right to an attorney in this proceeding. If you are unable to hire an attorney, the Court will appoint one for you if you are an indigent person.

The court hearing of your case has been scheduled for 4th day of FEBRUARY, 2021, at 1:30 p.m., for the JUVENILE COURT OF DODGE COUNTY TO BE HEARD AT THE DODGE COUNTY COURTROOM IN EASTMAN, GEORGIA AT THE DODGE COUNTY AT&T BUILDING ON PEARL BATES AVENUE in Eastman, Georgia.
The court at trial can enter a judgment ending your rights to the child if you fail to appear and show cause why your parental rights should not be terminated. A biological father may lose all rights to the child and not be entitled to object to the termination of his rights unless, within 30 days of receipt of this notice, he files: (1) a petition to legitimate the child; and (2) a notice of the filing of the petition to legitimate with the Juvenile Court of DODGE, Georgia.
A party has the right to an attorney in this proceeding. If you are unable to hire an attorney, the Court will appoint one for you if you are an indigent person.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
While I draft this opinion letter to the editor and final print of my letter, the election of the two Georgia senate seats that hang in the balance of power in our 200 plus years of democracy with what the new democratic party wants, “socialism”! and believe me, that’s just a rest stop before full blown communisms. This political outcome will come to fruition upon the January 6th edition of the Dodge County Newspaper.
These hair on fire, bug eyed liberal democrats will continue to follow this new progressive political democrat party like some sad Pavlovian dog, and our once great nation will be just another banana republic like Venezuela with that fraud Joe Biden taking his marching orders from Senator Berny Sanders, another communist to emulate Hugo Chavez. From listening and seeing a plurality of people who cant spell democracy, let alone discern core issues in a democratic government and their willingness to participate in this fraudulent presidential election with five swing states with Georgia being one of them, the election was literally stolen right under our noses, with activist judges in on the fix in denying President Trump a fair hearing to prove a his claims of a stolen election.
The smoke and mirrors propaganda game intended to distract and confuse Americans from facts that would outrage every fair minded person and threaten the sanctity of our electoral process. Now I know how Jesus Christ must have felt two thousand years ago, when HIS own people, the Jews, threw HIM under the bus in voting to free Barabbas. A good illustration of “good vs. evil”. Congratulations America, you have your Barabbas in Joe Biden. Heck, even if by some miracle, if both republican candidates win the special election on January 5th, we still have our own Judas Iscariot in Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski , and Ben Sasse, all RINOS themselves, who will lay in bed with the democrats.
This country is lost.
God help us

Random thoughts
I live down the street from the Ronald Reagan Parkway in Gwinnett County, Ga., moving here in March 1996, from Stone Mountain Georgia from 1971-1996. I’ve now been in Gwinnett County for 49 plus years and the change has been unbelievable. We now have a bunch of non-English speakers and it gets old. I’m ready to move. This was once a great place to live. Traffic is horrible also. I’m glad I can remember the good old days here. If you ever drive on the Ronald Reagan Parkway, watch out for speed traps. If fact, check out SpeedTrap.org for a list of traps around the USA and Canada, towns small and large. Yes, Cochran Georgia is on there.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
Death is not welcome at any time and especially at Christmas or other holidays.
After eight months of fighting cancer, my precious husband, Lawrence Rogers, was diagnosed with
pneumonia. After a three week battle, he wanted to change his address and was happy to declare his desire to be with Jesus for His Birthday and that’s where he went for Christmas.
We are all doing well drawing on the “Joy of the Lord” for our strength. I have truly experienced God’s word is true and, PTL, God has given me supernatural peace. We are also thankful that God gave us a gift of letting him tell us he was ready and that it was his desire to go; and 2 hours later, he did.
We all know that:
1) Everyone will die one day.
2) You die alone.
3) You have to leave your physical body to go to heaven.
4) Most people don’t want to go right now.
Well, Lawrence figured it out and was happy to make his earthly departure and go live with Jesus. He just set the example and went ahead of us. Our new family theme song is “When We All Get to Heaven.”
The Lawrence Rogers family, Ken Rogers family, Robert Pruitt family, and Don Parkerson family would like to express how blessed our community is to have Dodge County Hospital and its dedicated, caring staff to be there for the people of Dodge and surrounding counties ready to minister and serve this area.
We fell in love with Dr. Lou Barker, Dr. Habigaile Cribe and the ICU nursing staff who were so good to giving him excellent care during his last days.
We are happy to report, All is Well, Good is Good, and Jesus is LORD.
Wishing each of you a Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year.
Paula Rogers

Man is killed in truck accident
An Ashburn man was killed when the 18 wheeler he was driving ran off the roadway and overturned.
According to the Georgia State Patrol report, Kevin Lee McKinney, age 38, driving a 2001 International 9400 18 wheeler carrying a load of chipboard plywood, was driving west on Georgia 46 (Soperton Highway) and was approaching Pete Thomas Road. McKinney attempted to make a left turn onto Pete Thomas Road. As the truck began making the turn, it started yawing and ran off the west shoulder of Pete Thomas Road into the ditch.
The truck then struck a sign and reentered the roadway, but the trailer remained in the ditch. The truck then overturned.
A passenger in the truck, Amanda McKinney, age 38, was taken by helicopter to Navicent Health in Macon.
The accident happened on Tuesday, December 22, 2020 at approximately 10:53 a.m.

Okay! Here we go once more! The Falcons blow another big lead to Tom Brady, but this time it’s not a bad thing. I will explain. The Bulldogs don’t get a regular finale but a New Year’s six bowl against Cincinnati. There are several reports that as many as five players, mostly defensive, back out. Ok, let’s get started.
Oh the Falcons! Things started out just fine as they grabbed a 17-0 lead at the half against Tampa Bay. Ryan had a pair of touchdowns. Then came the second half. The lead was 24-7 not 28-3 when Brody went to work. The 43 year old threw for 390 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the 31-27 come from behind win. Unlike the heart breaking super bowl loss, this one was possibly a franchise revamping game.
The loss now moves the Falcons to the number four spot in the draft next spring. There are two games left but only one seems to be a sticking point. This Sunday, the Birds go to Kansas City. This one still means something to the defending champs, so it should be safe. The finale against Tampa concerns me. IF the Bucs have anything to play for, things are fine but if they don’t, it’s winnable against Tampa Bay backups. A wins would hurt things, just ask the Jets.
If the Falcons get the fourth spot, who do you take? Do you take Justin Fields as your quarterback in 22? Matt Ryan will be back next year so he would have a year to learn. Do you take Florida’s great tight end Kyle Pitts? The options are limitless at the four spot. The Falcons need a pair of losses badly. I know the greatest fair of them all will be hoping for that so you can too.
The Bulldogs didn’t get a home finale as Vandy backed out for the second time. The Dogs once again get a New Year’s Eve six bowl against a hinging Cincinnati team in the Peach Bowl.
It will be a touch game as Cincy is good and the problem is, are the Bulldogs interested? Reports are senior captain Monty Rice and several others will not play. Starting corners Eric Stokes and Tepon Campbell also will sit out. Richard Le Counte is also expected not to play. Only Campbell is projected to go in the first two days of the draft.
This is a tough challenge for Coach Kirby Smart and staff. The Dogs had players before the loss to Texas two years ago and before the super bowl win over Baylor last year. This one may be tougher. The Bearcats are not a power five-conference team. Cincy is in the “group of five” conferences. This game is almost a no win sit down for the Dogs. Win and you should have won-lose and you are laughing stock losing to a group of five team! I hope Kirby can get his boys ready to play!
