ATTENTION CITY OF EASTMAN RESIDENTS!!!
One of the main water mains in town has burst. The city has tried its best to relieve enough pressure to get in to fix the issue. Water in spots of the city has been shut off. A call may soon be made to shut water completely off in the city in order to cut the water pressure to resolve the issue. I have asked our city manager to try her best to get alerts out via radio and social media if we have to do the citywide shutoff. Sorry for the inconvenience. Our guys are neck deep in water trying to relieve enough pressure to keep from cutting the water completely.

Writer James Kirkpatrick, who should be syndicated nationally and also featured on overrated Fox News Network, says New Jersey governor Chris Christie is refusing to answer immigration questions. He’s America’s Great Wide Hope.
“He may have lost weight, but he hasn’t dropped his support for amnesty.”

The great conservative writers and commentators are not on Fox. Look for the good ones on Canada Free Press, Lew Rockwell, Daily Kenn and other fine sites. John Lillpop is on Canada Free Press but not on television. Of course television is where low information voters get their news.
On a rolling 10 year basis, since the founding of the U.S. stock market, the market has always produced a profit. Pick any year, look back ten years and you will have a profit for the 10 year period.
Former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and his wife Maureen were convicted of public corruption charges last September. They should’ve known only liberals can get away with such behavior. If only their last name had been Clinton they’d have walked free.

When Haley Barbour was Republican National Chairman, he mentioned that his was the party of small donors, with the average donation being $37. This is as it should be – many small donors giving modest amounts, adding up to impressive sums. [Full Story »] 

Dear editor,
I find that I am asking myself almost daily, “What is wrong with people?” Most recently in regard to a chained animal located within sight of a state highway. This animal had no shade and was tethered on a six-foot chain. Yes, I saw a bucket, that I assumed had water in it and yes a doghouse as well. The doghouse however seemed too small for the size of the dog. So now I ask you to ask yourself, is the animal endangered if it can’t go inside the house to escape a driving rain or most recently 90-degree temps? This particular incident has gone on for at least two months, with numerous calls made to the authorities by many citizens. This animal is located within a stones throw of the city limits of Eastman, a county problem they say. I ask, even if your heart is hardened, is this the image that we would like visitors entering our city and county to take home with them? I can think of no excuse, can you?

Dear editor,
In November 2013 I was told I had a cancer and was scheduled for a biopsy in Dublin, which went well. I am not a diabetic but do carry the gene. Further surgery was required on December 30, 2013 but did not go well at all. I ended up in Macon the next day where I was advised it would be two more days before a mustarde flap surgery could be performed. On January 20, 2014 I had an outpatient same-day surgery where I had around 75 to 100 stitches and an 18-inch incision on the left side of my face by a surgeon just to close it up. It has healed but I still need additional surgery called Moh’s to fix the hole left by a surgeon in Dublin.
I am writing not for sympathy because I didn’t receive any but to thank a few people because most folks disregarded me as a human being during all of this.
I would like to thank my husband of almost 20 years and my gifted daughter for the long care I received at home, which required great sacrifice on their part often times feeding me through a straw and seeing me struggle to sleep, breath and eat.
I would also like to thank my husband who has taken me 12 times to Macon and paid for the large out of pocket medical expenses. I also want to thank a local tax agency, Liberty Tax and staff for the free tax-prep and local attorneys, Cannon Law Firm and staff for the free services. Maybe one or two people prayed for me, otherwise we have not received anything free.
Thank you for printing the truth.
Sincerely,
Lisa S. Johnson

Dear editor,
We are excited to welcome you all to Dodge County High School’s graduation. Our school’s graduation is a time-honored tradition and we are very proud of the ceremony that our school holds. We, the Dodge County High School Seniors, would like to ask the community-including parents, visitors and any special guests-to please allow each graduate the opportunity to receive his or her diploma in a dignified manner. We respectfully request that there be no catcalls, outbursts or yells from the crowd. A loud outburst for one graduate detracts from the next graduate. Also, we ask that all guests turn their cell phones off and remain seated and quite until the commencement exercises are complete. Movement detracts from our graduates and their recognitions. We seniors also request that our guests respect the formality of our special occasion and dress appropriately and accordingly. The seniors agree that anyone who violates these requests be asked to leave the stadium. We enlist your cooperation and support so that we will not have to ask you to leave the stadium. On behalf of the senior class and student council officers, we appreciate your help with these requests and are glad you have joined us in the Class of 2015’s time of honor.

Dear editor,
Given recent disturbances and tumult by black Americans and the total dereliction of duty by law enforcement officers in recent months, I certainly have a lot to say on this matter.
First, this “Black Lives Matter” mantra makes about as much sense and contains the same lack of wisdom as saying “It’s easier said than done.” Of course, it’s easier to say something than do it.  They are missing the point. If black lives truly matter, why not live as if they truly do.
Instead of crying over the death of a low life drug dealer, or some supersize teenage punk, or using a poverty pimp like Al Sharpton as a role model, start by stopping the constant excuse making for generations of bad decisions. Make better choices. 
From my perspective in viewing this when I was a cop and most recently in TV, these little malcontents should start by taking a bath, they smell and look like a sewer rat right from the river, find a pair of pants that fit and a good belt, take that silly do-rag off your head and use it for it’s proper use, (clean the filth off you!), you might want to drop the hyphenated non-sense off your heritage too. If you love Africa so much and loath this country, then by all means, please hit that airport for a one way ticket to that continent and finally, when doing your complete false premise of “police brutality” on your protest signs, get a refresher course from a fifth grader, the word “police” has the letter “I” after the letter “L”!
For my law enforcement brothers and sisters, I too proudly wore that badge both as a military cop, city police officer and county deputy for more than 30 years. How disappointing, you folks both in Ferguson, Missouri and Baltimore, Maryland, are a complete embarrassment and should be ashamed of yourselves. To stand by and let these feckless idiots burn, loot and harm people under the guise of orders by a mayor is dereliction on your part. You took a solemn oath to protect life and property. Do you not know that you can disobey an unlawful order?
And why do you call a thug, or punk who broke the law right in front of your face, a “Gentleman?”
How things have changed so much for the worse in the good old USA!
