Quotas are the next step
Just when you thought the political game couldn’t get any nuttier, Nevada Senator Harry Reid retired and his Latina replacement proved even nuttier than Harry. Demoleft Senator Cortez Masto (which sounds like a male name to me) says she wants to see mandated diversity quotas in Congress and its committees. We are stuck with this loser for six long years, maybe longer. Who knows – she could become the next president of the USA in eight years, after Donald Trump serves his two terms.
You can never be diverse enough and quotas are the next step. Who decides if we are sufficiently diverse? The liberal ruling class, of course. Naturally she waited until after her unfortunate election to expose many of her leftist ideas.
Angry White Dude has it figured. He says: “Hey. AWD is all for diversity in the Senate. Maybe we could get a conservative or two.”

T-shirt slogan in large letters reads: Mr. Trump BUILD That Wall. The gent wearing the shirt was a black man also.
It takes a special kind of lunatic to think that importing illegal welfare recipients who want to kill us is a good idea. They’re pre-Democrats, too.
President Trump most of the time is a good guy. That’s not a bad record for a politician these days. Despite what we hear from the media hatemongers, Trump has been fairly effective in getting his programs up and running. He filled the Supreme Court vacancy, which made liberals hate him even more. Big media makes no pretense of accurate reporting. The objective is undermining a conservative president.
I call them the Big Five - tax cuts, term limits, oil drilling, border control and Donald Trump: liberals hate all five. I like the five. I’ve never heard a liberal advocate term limits – have you? On some of these issues they will hedge at election time, then show you their true leftism after the election. Being vague can sway low information voters, who fall for doubletalk.

Body identified
The body that was found floating in a water hole off Frank Holder Road on Friday, May 19 has been identified as Michael Anthony Boone, age 18, by the Georgia State Crime Lab. The cause of his death has not yet been determined. Boone had been missing since around 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday, January 18, 2017.
On May 19, a hunter from Florida was setting up cameras in the woods and discovered the body in a water hole approximately a quarter of a mile from Frank Holder Road across cutover land. That was close to where Boone’s car had been found on January 19. According to authorities, Boone was last seen leaving his girlfriend’s house in Hawkinsville. On Thursday, January 19, Boone’s vehicle, a 1999 Honda CRV, was located abandoned on Frank Holder Road with the keys missing.
Boone’s family reported him missing.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the Dodge County Sheriff’s Department at 478-559-1130, the Eastman Police Department at 478-374-7788 or the Dodge-Wilcox 911 Center at 478-374-1691.

Ocmulgee Water Trail Partnership hosts Half Moon Paddle on May 6
By Brian Mullis
The Ocmulgee Water Trail Partnership (OWTP) hosted their second annual paddle event on Saturday, May 6, 2017. The “Half Moon Paddle” launched from the Dodge County landing in Eastman; the take-out was eight miles down-river at the Half Moon landing in Abbeville. More than 80 people took to kayaks, canoes and one man on a paddleboard, for a trip down the river.
According to OWTP Vice President Sherri Wood, this segment of the Ocmulgee generally takes between three and three and one-half hours to run, but the river’s brisk flow on Saturday helped the lead paddler to make the trip in one hour and 52 minutes.
“We had perfect weather for the event,” said Wood, “although the morning temperature being in the low 50’s had some paddlers shivering when they checked in.”
The Department of Natural Resources was on hand to give a safety briefing before the paddle got underway. Dodge County had a deputy sheriff on hand for security and Wilcox County EMS had boats on the water and an ambulance was present at take-out in Abbeville.
Registration for the event included lunch, catered by a local restaurant and a paddle event T-shirt. There were many donated door prizes including a Yeti cooler donated by Brannen Outfitters.
“Our organization would not be where we are today without the generous support of our sponsors,” stated OWTP President Lee Slade. “Having KaMin Performance Minerals commit early on, at the highest level, gave a great boost of energy to our event planning. I tell you, putting one of these things on is a lot of hard work and no one in our organization is getting paid. Having companies like KaMin, The Steak House, Graham and Studstill and others believe in what we’re doing, and to put their money where their mouth is, means a lot.”
“This event was right on target with our vision to be…a premier destination for paddlers and river enthusiasts that will provide a variety of recreational activities and promote local and regional economic improvements.” Said Slade, “We had people on the river enjoying themselves, having a good time and, our event generated revenue from tourism.
Paddle events are the primary fundraiser for the Partnership.
The Ocmulgee River Water Trail Project began in 2010 as a partnership between just a handful of communities along the river. As the established trail garnished momentum, discussions circulated about expanding it to include a 200-mile section from Macon to the start of the Altamaha River near Lumber City. The result was to create Ocmulgee Water Trail Partnership, which is comprised of appointed representatives from 11 counties along the river corridor, including Ben Hill, Bibb, Bleckley, Coffee, Dodge, Houston, Jeff Davis, Pulaski, Telfair, Twiggs and Wilcox.

Indians host double header against bulldogs
By Jessie Pruett
May 10, 2017, the Indians hosted the Toombs County Bulldogs in the Elite 8 round of the GHSA state playoffs. In the first game, Craig Barton was the starting pitcher. Barton went six and one third innings, allowing nine hits, walking three and striking out two. Gary Pittman came on to pitch two thirds of an inning, facing two batters, but allowing no one to reach base. Toombs was able to score six runs, but had help with five Dodge County errors. Offensively for the Indians, Chandler Davis was two for three with a double and an RBI, Tyler Pruett was two for four with a double, Craig Barton was one for three with a double, Alize King was one for three, Ethan Rice was one for three and Gary Pittman was one for four with an RBI. Toombs takes the first game 6-3.
The second game of the double header had Tyler Pruett on the mound. Pruett would throw seven innings, allowing two runs on six hits, walking two and striking out seven. Gary Pittman would come on to pitch the eighth inning, surrendering a run on three hits and a walk. For the Indians, Gary Pittman was three for four, Craig Barton was two for four with a double and an RBI, Chip Burch was two for four with a double and an RBI, Alize King was one for three, Ethan Rice was one for three, Chandler Davis was one for four, and Tyler Pruett was one for four. It took eight innings to sort this one out, but Toombs steals a heart breaker, winning 3-2 to end the Indians’ season.
The Indians had a great season and showed a lot of improvement from the 2016 season. Team batting average went up over 50 points to .343, with a team on base percentage of .457. Team ERA (earned run average) dropped from 3.14 in 2016 to 1.96 in 2017. Most importantly their record went from 9-14 to 24-9. The Dodge County coaching staff did a great job with the team and we look forward to watching them build on that next season.
Congratulations to the following players who received all region recognition this year: Craig Barton, region pitcher of the year, Chandler Davis, all region catcher, Chip Burch, all region first base, Tyler Pruett, all region shortstop, Ethan Rice, all region second team outfield and Gary Pittman, all region honorable mention infield.
