Dear editor,
What I am about to say is a statement, only a statement, to the general public.
Shortly after 3:00 p.m., Wednesday, April 5, 2017 a huge oak tree in my front yard, due to a twister, crashed through the roof of my house and came to rest on the floor of the house. I was totally unharmed although being in the house. Both ends of the house are still standing, but it is now demolished and unlivable. With less than $600.00 a month from Social Security and with no further reserve anywhere, I haven’t the means to do anything with the tree, the house or the possessions inside.
Although I actually could sleep in my own bed, it is not feasible for me to do so due to the condition to the house. I have no friends or relatives with whom to stay, and of course now, no electricity or running water.
Me being the owner of the house and land, I have found that I have been granted permission to stay on the property and sleep in the car. The immediate help granted to me was by the Red Cross, and that would be gone in five days and, if used, is only to be used for motel expenses.
Car keys, driver’s license and other such things were buried under the tree and are inaccessible. There is sufficient land on the property behind the house for another home.
Any information from anyone as to how I may obtain any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. The location of the site is 3952 Cochran Highway Eastman, GA (Gresston area) on the east side of the highway across from Gresston Baptist Church. Thanks in advance to you all.
I may be called or texted at 478-285-0929. If you cannot contact me at that number you may call 478-231-2822 or 478-374-5744 and leave a message.
Sincerely,
Jimmy Glenn Carr

Dear editor,
Tyranny of one kind is just as bad as another. One kind of supremacy does not over ride another. While this nation has all but rid itself of human slavery, she if faced with a more devastating slavery and it’s sin. The problem with sin is it deals with the flesh.
It always cares about the here and now. So often we become trapped and even to allow disillusion before we realize it. Americans, or this nation, needs a tow from Heaven’s new wrecker services. With the cable of love, kindness and the power of Calvary’s cross we will be dug out of the murk and miry clay that so easily ensnared us. Then he washes us clean of the world’s filth with grace and mercy and puts us back on the road of peace.
This nation needs to bring its mess to the Messiah. He’ll sort it out for us. This nation must bring its mess to the Messiah for he knows what it is going through. If America would bring her mess to the Messiah he’ll cleanse it with his blood. If this nation would bring its mess to the Messiah he’ll hide it in his love. This nation must bring their mess to the Messiah because he wants to save her soul. The Messiah is at the door knocking and calling both the young and old.
As we look at the actions of the Democrats, Republicans and others it’s just like the pot is talking about the kettle. Citizens of this nation have become so concerned with their own personal view they have lost sense of what is right and wrong. With separation of church and state some Americans are saying that God’s word doesn’t count. It was president George Washington who stated, “No nation will continue to govern without God and the Bible.”
The son of the heavenly father will always be in charge of the universe. As time continues, the slavery of sin will increase. Almighty God, giver and sustainer of life and liberty, grant that as we meet this day that our thoughts may be upon you and on those who have served our land in times or war and peace.
We give you thanks that through their efforts and sacrifices we may enjoy the blessing of this great land. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Sincerely,
Johnny L. Blacke, MSG (R)

On the right track
Remember the 55 mph speed limit? It was in effect from 1974-1995. Hillary Clinton said she wanted to reinstate it. Maybe she’s afraid we really are running out of gas. At least her political career did so.
Critics claimed Donald Trump needed traditional experience (as a professional politician) but he has a stellar business mind. What has B.H. Obama ever accomplished, in or out of the political game?
Dwight Eisenhower, U.S. Grant and Zachary Taylor had military experience but no political experience before becoming president. Donald Trump graduated from New York Military Academy, close enough for us.
As Dennis Prager reminds us, Donald Trump put women in higher positions than any real estate developer.
Liberal windbag Gen. Colin Powell slams Donald Trump’s immigration plan, more proof that DT is on the right track. I knew early on that Powell was a loser just by listening to media leftists singing his praises. Remember Powellmania about twenty years back? “Republican” Powell brags in his book (I didn’t read it) that he had an All the Way With LBJ sticker on his car in 1964. Bad choice there, general.
“Illegal immigrants will keep coming to America until enough Americans put their foot down and demand that our government protect all states from invasion.”
AllPAC.us 10-1-15
Illegal Immigrants = Pre-Democrats.
Bumper sticker of the day: Gun-Free Zones = Murder Empowerment Zones.
Have you noticed that after every mass murder big media quickly invites “experts” on the air to discuss matters they know nothing about.
“Tyranny seldom announces itself. In fact, a tyranny may exist without an individual tyrant. A whole government, even a democratically elected one, may be tyrannical.”

Williams named new Eastman councilperson
By Taelor Rye
The Eastman City Council moved to select Sabrina Williams as its newest city council member at its regular meeting on April 10. Williams will fill the unexpired term of former city council member Milton Johnson, who had to vacate his position after moving out of state.
The council also considered Charlene Montford for the position, with city council member Buddy Pittman stating that Williams and Montford were both “two very fine, qualified candidates.” He added, “It’s exciting to see… that people are interested to fill the position.”
Candidates submitted letters of interests and résumés for council deliberation, which took place at a work session prior to the meeting. Regarding qualifications, chairman Raymond Mullis said, “It’s a shame we can’t have both of them.”
City council member Prince Dawson said, “I am here to assist her in any way. She has some concerns that are concerns of the council, so we all will work with you on those.”
Pittman added, “Welcome aboard. We look forward to working with you and answering any questions and helping get you guided and going.”
Williams will be sworn in at the council’s next meeting on April 24, which will also serve as the first weekday of Georgia Cities Week, which runs from April 23 to April 29. City manager Jason Cobb said that the meeting will serve as a “great time to introduce our new council member to the community.” Following the meeting will be an open reception with refreshments for all attendees.
Georgia Cities Week celebrations will follow on at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 25, in the form of the second annual State of the City address at the Magnolia Theatre.
Wednesday, April 26, will see a work session hosted in the media center of Dodge County High School (DCHS). Here, the city council will meet with the high school’s student council for collaborative dialogue with students. Although the event is geared toward the student council, Cobb stated that the public is invited to it.
Regarding last year’s work session at the high school, Pittman stated, “Those kids come up with some extremely interesting questions!”
Tentatively scheduled for Thursday, April 26, is a district 9 listening session in Hazlehurst.
Charles Williams, director of the Eastman-Dodge Chamber of Commerce, informed the council that the Dodge County Board of Education approved to sign DCHS as the first school in Georgia to work with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under HUNCH: High School Students United with Nasa to Create Hardware.
Williams said that HUNCH “is a huge step in the right direction of training high school kids for jobs in the technical world… There’s a real enthusiasm for teachers and kids at Dodge County High School (DCHS).”
Not only is DCHS the first Georgia school to become involved with HUNCH, but it is also one of fewer than 100 schools across the nation to do so.

Tough times for Dodge soccer teams, one win and one tie
By Chris Sabia
As the end of the season nears for the Dodge County Indians soccer teams the boys stand at last place in the region with 2-5-0 region count. Only one region game remains and the boys are 3-10-1 overall. The ladies are third at 3-4-0 and could possibly tie the Royals for second if they win their next and final region game. The ladies’ overall count is 5-8-1.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
During the week of April 23-29, 2017 the City of Eastman will join other cities across Georgia in celebrating Georgia Cities Week. This week has been set aside to recognize the many services city governments provide and their contribution to a better quality of life in Georgia. Our theme this year is “Cities in the Mix”. We want to highlight the importance of a central gathering place for people and communities.
City government is truly government of, by and for the people – the people who are making the decisions about our community are your neighbors, business owners and community leaders. Cities provide the services and infrastructure to help businesses grow, and set the stage for events where families and individuals can gather as a community.
We recognize that throughout our lifetimes, the average person will have more direct contact with local governments than with state or federal governments. Because of this, we feel a responsibility to ensure that the public knows how the city operates and feels connected to their city government.
During this week, we want to share information about the valuable services that are provided to residents and how they positively impact their quality of life: From historic preservation to trash collection to public safety to promoting the area’s culture and recreation. We hope you will join us in this celebration and learn more about your city and how it operates for you.
The city will be hosting a variety of events during the week of April 23-29. A list of events, time and locations will be published in an up-coming edition of this newspaper. We invite and encourage all citizens of Eastman to participate in the celebration.
Sincerely,
Jason Cobb, Eastman City Manager

Random thoughts
Fox Network News has been kicking Judge Andrew Napolitano around and maybe out completely while keeping the years back quota hire liberal loser Juan Williams (Overrated and way overpaid). When I see Juan I hit the old remote control, one of the great inventions, and watch something else for a while. If I need lectures on diversity, affirmative action and related subjects I can always find it on supposed sports channel ESPN: Egotistical Sociologists Peddling Nonsense.
“Reminder to Donald Trump: ALL illegals are criminals!”
John Lillpop
Ninety-seven percent of U.S. Justice Department employee political donations went to Hillary Clinton in 2016, says Laura Ingraham, always ready with good info.
Another Obamacrat leftist law professor lands on his feet. Ex- Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara was terminated by Donald Trump (as is the custom when a new president takes office) a few weeks back is now a professor at New York University’s law school, starting April 1. The school declined to disclose Mr. Bharara’s (try saying that name five times quickly) contract and duties. He is considered full-time yet can take in outside legal work in his spare time, they seem to say. Sounds like a comfy ride to me. Liberals take care of their own.
Forty eight U.S. attorneys were terminated, the same procedure followed by presidents Clinton, Bubba Bill and Obama, Barack Hussein. When a Republican does this liberals howl, as they did when G.W. Bush cleared out the holdovers in January 2001. The press figures we’re stupid and will believe incoming Republican presidents are doing something inhumane, maybe even illegal, to those persons terminated – not so.
Worthless Bill Clinton is an open borders fanatic who now claims “Nationalism” is destroying the USA. Of course he has pushed this philosophy for years.
“On that terrible day in 2001 that radical Muslim terrorists launched the most devastating attack on the U.S.A. in history, Bill Clinton was in Australia giving a speech before a group of businessmen. In comments made only ten hours before the towers fell in New York, Bill Clinton said he felt the world would be a better place if there were no national borders.”
