Dear editor,
To Eastman and Dodge County friends,
My mother, Lucy (Chasteen) Baker, celebrated a special birthday (LXXX) on December 27, 2017. Through this column, I requested birthday cards and greetings from longtime friends and former co-workers to surprise her. Thanks to you, Mama received dozens of beautiful cards with kind notes and memories, including a very special snapshot, courtesy of Mrs. Shan Wahl. Mama was completely surprised and touched that she is still remembered.
I cannot thank you enough for pausing in your busy Christmas schedules to send a greeting to a friend you have not seen in a long while.
Thank you, Dodge County News, for being a true “Hometown Newspaper,” serving Dodge County and Middle Georgia, and for offering a public forum in which to share good news requests such as this. We could not have accomplished it without your help.
With sincere gratitude,
Dianne R. Roberts

Dear editor,
In 1887, the following people wanted to incorporate “The Eastman and Americus Air-line Railroad Co.”: James M. Buchan, James E. Schofield, T.J. Ray, D.M. Roberts, T.J. Buchan, Lewis Arnheim and E.G. Simmons.
Its route was town of Eastman through Dodge, Pulaski, Dooly and Sumter counties.
It wasn’t successful.

It’s Idaho
A Bush or Nixon was on the Republican ticket every time the Repubs won the presidency from 1932 -2012.
Jeb Bush hoped to excite the electorate with his comprehensive amnesty legislation.
The GOP establishment hates the Republican base. Without the GOP base, the establishment is history. They reluctantly put up with us.
Bumper sticker of the day: No Amnesty. Obey the Law.
Ever wonder how Obama got elected? White liberal guilt was a big factor. Big media wouldn’t even call him a liberal yet he was much worse than that.
Talk host Mark Levin said on 8-21-15 that many Americans have never had the chance to vote for a true conservative. Mark says never allow the media to railroad us again.
“The political system in the United States has, like all systems which grow old and large, become moribund and corrupt.”
Doug Casey on LewRockwell.com 12-25-17
The fastest growing U.S. state? Nope, it’s Idaho. It’s very scenic in most parts, especially near the Canadian Border, and late September is a good time to go west for the color change. The state of Illinois is said to be losing a resident every four minutes. That’s a heavy outflow.
The Left loves Communist dictators. George McGovern raved about his old friend Fidel Castro. Commie killers fascinate America’s liberal elite. Frankin D. Roosevelt (Russiavelt?) loved “Uncle Joe” Stalin.
Over 700 prisoners are on Death Row in California. No one has been executed in that state since January 2006? Remember when Georgia used “Sparky” the old electric chair?
Chain migration produces 61 percent of all immigration in the USA, says Laura Ingraham. Imagine our immigration system or anything close to it occurring anywhere else in the world.
Could Richard Nixon have stayed out of prison with Bill Clinton’s record?
The 2016 election summed up in a dozen words in September 2016: “What is the alternative to Trump is the only question worth asking.”

Commissioners won’t fund farmers market
After giving a little glimmer of hope at Tuesday’s meeting of the Dodge County Board of Commissioners regarding the continuation of operation of the Dodge County Farmer’s Market, the commissioners shot down requests for financial assistance at Wednesday’s budget approval meeting.
Tuesday night, commissioner Brian Watkins made the following motion, “I make a motion that the north west side of the Dodge County Courthouse be opened up each Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for the use of vendors to display and sell their products to the public with the understanding that Dodge County will not/does not insure the quality, fitness, suitability, or safety of any products sold there. The vendors shall not be allowed to set up any sales areas on the courthouse steps or at any entrance, the park area or the soldier memorial areas.”
After Watkins made the motion, commissioner Terry Niblett seconded the motion. The vote to approve the motion was unanimous.
On Wednesday, commissioner Karen Cheek, prior to the board’s approval of the 2018 proposed county budget, which cut out any financial support to the farmers’ market, made a motion to make an amendment to the budget to include support of $3,035.00 to help the farmers’ market stay open.
Cheek said that she believed Sharon Flanagan, director of the Dodge County Farmers’ Market, had compiled with the board’s wishes of adjusting the financial request she made to the board. “She has even said that we could pay half of that and I think she did an excellent job.”
Flanagan had stated during the public hearing part of Wednesday’s meeting the following: “at the first public hearing I was requested to adjust the monies to a point to where we could continue operating the market as in accordance to the charter … I have carved it down to the bare minimum.”

Dodge County citizens discuss 2018 resolutions
Every year around January 1, as tradition dictates, pens and pencils and paper are put to good use. People start making resolutions for the new year.
New Year’s resolutions are said to have first been implemented more than 4,000 years ago with the ancient Babylonians. Reported to have held the first recorded celebrations to mark the new year, the Babylonians made promises to pay their debts and return any objects they had borrowed as they crowned a new king.
According to history, these promises could have been considered the forerunners of what we know as ‘New Year’s Resolutions.’
Making promises to change and improve ourselves has become such a mainstay at the transition to a new year, that it is rare to see someone who doesn’t at least verbalize thoughts of change.
A group of Dodge County citizens shared their resolutions for 2018 with The Dodge County News via social media.

Driggers continued, “I really do not make resolutions anymore, in the past I never did them for more than two weeks. I do pray that I will take better care of myself and be able to be around to enjoy my family and my precious granddaughter.”

Dear editor,
In the words of a former venerable and august radio announcer and “DJ” of America’s top radio station, “WWL,” the blowtorch of the south and out of New Orleans, radio host of “The Charlie Bryan show” once said, “the most dangerous person in the world is the millennial democratic voter.”
After all, President Trump must be having success by the amount of hysteria on the left.
New pew research polls suggest that, “Americans will vote straight Democratic ticket.”
I think I can speak for Charlie Bryan, myself and sweetie, my bride, why would anyone want to go back to rampant illegal immigration, policies that makes us less secure in regards to terrorism, (lopping off your head, and burning you alive), an ineffective foreign policy that did nothing to stop our enemies from becoming armed with nuclear weapons, a stagnant economy, and an administration, Hussein Obama, the quasi Manchurian Candidate that sided with anti-police hate groups, “Black Lives Matter” who’s edicts call for “The systematic executions of all law enforcement officers in the United States” ?
Another poll suggest that these so called young Millennial voters often said that democrat party over country, yet, the 2016 candidate (The witch) was proven without a doubt of lying to the FBI, even tough she was not charged). Last time I checked, this is called being a “lap dog” for that feckless traitor and bottom feeder to this country Queen Hillary. Can you hear me former fired and FBI Director James Comey?
The Democrats and a willing shills, the media, have looked for over a year now, and it infuriates them they have nothing on President Trump.
This new left leaning Millennial are intent on burning this country to the ground, and the most disturbing context of this, is you, the conservative voter who repeatedly votes in RINO’s “republican in name only” who could care less in scourging this menace to society (the democrats), but only sees a fat checking account from you idiots. You had an opportunity to elect a man of God in Alabama, and once again, blew it.
And by the way, Charlie Bryan is my uncle, who is 90 years young and can still out smart, out run, out wit you knuckled headed Millennial, And still spins Pete Fountain, Frank Sinatra, Mantovani and Ray Conniff on 45’s and “LP” on a “Hi Fi”. Hey Millennial, do even know what a Hi FI, 45 and LP is anyway? Yea, that’s what I thought too. Now go back to your “Ellen Degenerate show” that Double entendre in spelling of her name was for good reason.

Commissioners face concerns over 2018 proposed budget
The Dodge County Board of Commissioners faced a lot of ‘whys’ on Friday, December 22 during the public hearing to present the proposed budget for the county for 2018.
More than two dozen people filled the room Friday afternoon to have their questions regarding proposed budget cuts for the upcoming year to the Dodge County Board of Commissioners.
During the public comment session, responses to questions were limited, and commissioners Dan McCranie and Terry Niblett, and interim county manager Bobby Peacock, were the only voices heard representing the board, except once when county attorney John Harrington was called to answer a concern about public notification of the work session held on December 18 prior to the regular meeting of the board.
Sharon Flanagan, director of the Dodge County Farmer’s Market, led the charge of concerns and questions regarding several issues revolving around the proposed budget.
In the proposed budget, the commission board had looked into cutting funding for the farmer’s market out completely.
Flanagan pled for that not to happen. “The farmer’s market has brought numerous outside individuals into the community…several of them to your grounds. They have not noticed the beautiful courthouse before and they love your grounds.” Flanagan said.
She also presented facts in regards to the boost to the local economy that the market has helped bring about since its implementation. Flanagan mentioned that those volunteers and board members with the Dodge County Farmer’s Market had worked very hard to keep “events low key where there would be not extra maintenance for the county.”
Bill Grimes spoke on behalf of keeping the farmer’s market going. “We moved here in May, and part of the reason we did is because of the farming in the area…we come and get our fresh vegetables at the market…having the farmer’s market here helps with the tax dollars for Dodge County,” he said.
JoAnn Rozier stated, “The Dodge County Farmer’s Market is a great asset to the farmers and the people of Dodge County.”
Patty Martin, a vendor and volunteer with the farmer’s market, was passionate with her plea. “What we do brings in different types of people to the community, and brings in revenue to the county,” she said and asked the board to consider saving the market.
“The main commerce for Dodge County is family...and we have lots of small family farms…what Sharon has asked is for the very minimal help from you all,” Mike Flanagan said.
Lynn Sullivan stood, and spoke volumes. “Why take away something that is so right?”
