Dear editor,
Ole Dodge County, what have you done? You, without any fan fair nor public stumping have raised many of our property values (without any improvements) by upwards of 40-50 to 60 percent, and in some cases more! Just to understand this, it means our taxes go up by nearly the same. Ole Dodge County, we could have understood a reasonable tax rate increase since you did in fact lose your house of court and county offices. We probably would have complained a bit, but in the end, we would have accepted such. Now, it feels as if we are being manipulated – it just does not feel right!
Remember, Ole Dodge County, you have many retirees living here without the option to make an extra dollar or two; many cannot pay an extra expense; many live by a simple plan from month to month. Any change to their plan will mean something will not be paid for and something will not be bought. Someone will simply have to do without. Do you really understand what this means? Do I need to tell you about the young family whose insurance has increased and now must seek other measures to feed and shelter their kids? Do you really understand? Need I go on?
I ask you, Ole Dodge County, please be faithful to your people. Do not hide by blaming the other guy, be honest and tell us as elected officials should the reason for the over-the-top assessment increases. Will you fix it?
William Hargrove

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
This letter is to all Dodge County teachers, parents and anyone truly interested in making our schools as great as possible.
We can choose to become involved or not. But can we afford to sit back and ignore the efforts of those who care enough to demand the very best schools? Or will we join those who are comfortable with educational mediocrity? Hopefully, our new leader will provide her best efforts to advance student learning. In my opinion school superintendents generally support a “don’t create waves” workplace even if it means the loss of student achievement. The only waves created are generally by educators on the way to maximizing their retirement benefits.
Great outcomes require leaders will to break the most of mediocrity and step beyond the status quo. For example, we have a school calendar designed to address the needs of yesterday’s students. Our calendar has worked for many years. However, in today’s world our needs cannot be supported by our 100-year old teaching and learning model that is our traditional school calendar. A leadership vacuum will guarantee the continued degradation of student achievement due to a refusal to accept teaching and learning models based on research. “No risk, no gain, no complaints, keep everybody happy” so apparently the mantra of most leadership cadres. Much is said by the poster in the central office lobby that proudly declares principal goal of Dodge County is “To graduate every student on time”. DUH!
By trying to keep everybody happy, our BOE can guarantee that some students will forget up to 25% of all learning acquired the previous year due to the use of a traditional calendar. Reteaching those students may lose more time and budget dollars than can be afforded. According to Johns Hopkins University there is a disproportionate effect on the low SES and minority students, traditionally those voices have emanated from those closes to the students, the teachers. Last question. Dear Dr. Long, where are those voices now?

Dear editor,
From 2001 thru 2010, myself and two friends held a Class D Minor League Baseball reunion in Moultrie.
With help from the Moultrie Chamber, The Museum of Colquitt County and Minor League Baseball, these reunions were a success.
Over those 10 years, I got to meet a lot of former Minor League Stars, Edd Hartness, Jim Harp, Sonny Stephenson, Ears Caldwell, Frank Clements, Walter Kloss and Hal Smith (Batboy) just to name a few.
Since the reunions, I have continued to do research on the old Georgia State, Georgia-Florida, Georgia-Alabama, Alabama State, Alabama-Florida and Florida East Coast Leagues.
I have also continued to try and collect memorabilia from these old leagues. (Team and individual photos, autographs, schedules, scorecards and so on.)
If anyone has any old memorabilia, PLEASE write to me. I would greatly appreciate the help.
As the son of a former Class D Minor League baseball player, I want to try and keep the history of the old leagues alive.
P.S. I played high school baseball at Pineland in Moultrie. My coach was John Peacock. He was a great man.
God Bless,

Way to go, Burgess Owens, ex-NFL star. He won the Republican House nomination in Utah’s 4th Congressional district. He should prevail in November against the Democrat incumbent. I can’t imagine a Democrat winning in Utah but Demos sometimes win the seat in Salt Lake City. Burgess can make it 100 percent Republican.

Dear editor:
The June 17th edition of The Dodge County News had an opinion piece by Mr. John Battle on the Confederate flag. I would rhetorically and respectfully add, and ask Mr. Battle’s and others in their perpetual rant about the Confederate flag, isn’t so easy in 21st politically correct Century hindsight to be so self righteous and condemn that flag in southern armies asunder? However Mr. Battle, let it be remembered that the stars and stripes also flew over slaves both north and south for generations long before the Confederate flag was in existence. I can only suppose Mr. Battle had a severe case of amnesia and omitted that factual historical footnote, how convenient!
As a direct descendant of General Mark Wilcox, which a county in central Georgia was named after for his valor in the civil war and state legislator, I, along with my family, admire and appreciate the sacrifices that my late Great Uncle and others did, and not equate their patriotism and values with the perverse atmosphere that is so prevalent in America today with goose stepping skin heads with swastika and buffoons wearing cheap Walmart bed sheets.
Mr. Battle, I would ask what’s next on the hit list, The Great Sphinx in Egypt, after all, slaves built that too didn’t they?
And for the record Mr. Battle, I too served under the stars and bars with that flag flying atop of my armored personnel carrier as an infantry soldier in Vietnam 1967-68. Governor Lester Maddox personally mailed me that flag with the approval of my commander to mount it on the radio antenna. Other soldiers were doing the same representing their state.
For those politicians who have the backbone of a slinky toy in caving in now on monuments and statues for the political correctness, they are cowards to the core.
There is a reckoning coming for those feckless betrayers, it’s called election.

Idiots run NASCAR and I’d never spend a nickel with that outfit, especially now. It joins the list of pro sports best avoided. Years ago I was a season ticket holder at UGA but I gave it up and don’t miss it. I now watch from the comfort of home on a big screen television. I admit, I’ve never been to a NASCAR event and I’m glad to say I didn’t help those creeps running it over the years. Nothing against the drivers, I know a bunch of fans, good folks but the management sold out to the political left. I used to go to the old Peach Bowl Speedway in downtown Atlanta near the Waterworks years ago, always a fun evening there.
Republicans have both U.S. Senate seats and the Governors office in Florida. The highest ranking Democrat statewide in Florida is the state Agriculture Commissioner.
Maybe we need more hoax crime laws instead of sociology-inspired hate crime laws. Who decides the level of hate? The FBI sent 15 agents to Alabama to investigate the NASCAR “noose” incident but generally ignores the origin of violent criminal acts in American cities – buildings burn down while they search for villains committing thought crimes, process crimes, hoaxes.
William Shuttleworth, retired New England school administrator and Air Force veteran, walked across the USA last summer, around 30 miles per day from late May to early September, around 30 miles per day average for a little more than 100 days to draw attention to the lack of treatment for military vets in veterans hospitals. William is a good guy, was age 71 when he made the amazing walk and I was surprised at the lack of media coverage.
Polls just before the 2016 Michigan Democrat Primary showed Hillary Clinton twenty points ahead of Bernie Sanders, but Bernie won the primary. This year Bernie had a freebie for all women in America – free abortions for all.
Hillary Clinton has to be the most cheated - on woman in America by her hubby. Rush Limbaugh frequently points it out and he’s probably right.

Dear editor,
To the people of Dodge County; thank you, thank you, thank you!
This past Saturday morning, I was in Walmart and I guess when I was leaving, I left my wallet behind in a shopping cart outside.
I didn’t realize it was missing until way late in the evening. Then I began to retrace my steps, trying to remember when I had it last. Then I though about calling and cancelling my cards. My mind said be calm and pray about it. I began to say Lord, let it turn up, even it there is no money in it.
So, when I went and checked at Walmart, the cashier pulled it out of a drawer and it looked like everything was in tact. I said thank you, thank you, thank you, Jesus. There are still some good and honest people in this place.
To the one that turned it in, thank you, thank you, thank you. You know who you are and God knows your name. Again, I say thank you! May we all come together as one, for there are no big I’s and no little U’s in God’s sight.
Thank you,

Dear editor,
Images are powerful; they shade our perceptions, code our implicit bias and help us interpret the environment. The Confederate Flag (stars and bars), and monuments are powerful images; however, these images evoke different messages for different people. To some these images can evoke different messages for different people. To some, these images can provoke good and positive imagery, saying, “It’s our heritage”. To others these images provoke hatred, violence and chaos, like massacres at churches, church burnings, murders and violent acts against blacks and whites, usually wearing their confederate flag memorabilia, simply making this a symbol of hate.
Let’s be clear, I in no way believe every Dodge County citizen or American who displays the Confederate flag endorses slavery as an economic and social order, treason as a solution, bigotry as a value ad is a racist.
Over decades the Confederate flag has been used as a crutch for traitors, Nazis, the Klan, bigots and racists, as those who claim it as their southern heritage, sitting quietly by saying nothing as horrors are infringed upon people, black and white.
Now is the time for glorification of the Confederate flag, flying it on public property and the “rebel” culture to surrender. This is the United States, the civil war was fought and the rebels, confederate flag flyers, lost, thus returning to the union, the United States of America; let’s atop this division over a symbol, ban together replace the stars and bars with stars and stripes.
To our commissioners, it’s time to rise to the occasion, unite us and stop inflating tensions and promoting racism. I ask you to read your history and remember this flag, (confederate flag) was brought back into circulation in the 60’s to serve as a protest of school integration, a symbol of hate. We all have a history, a past and a heritage, but when it causes discord it needs to be removed.
John Battle, Sr.

A disgusting mindset
Trish Regan – fired by Fox Network for telling the truth?
We’re quarantining healthy people and Dave Ramsey says this has never been done before in modern history.
A disgusting mindset, the theory that you must think like Hillary Clinton to be a true woman. You must fit into a liberal box. Phyllis Schlafly was hounded all her adult life for being a conservative female who got results. RIP, Phyllis.
Women voted for H.R. Clinton over D.J. Trump by 54% - 42% in 2016 but DJT won anyway. Remember the Republican establishment early in the campaign telling Trump to get out of the race while he was winning every primary? They don’t call Republicans the Stupid Party for nothing. Stupid is better than Evil. Don’t forget, Democrats haven’t carried a majority of the white vote since the hideous LBJ in 1964. They never mention him these days, do they.
The mainstream media left in action: “Trump’s dynamic: MSM hate him, people hate the MSM.”

Did John McCain throw the 2008 election? It appears so. “In 2008 the GOP nominated John McCain, perhaps the most disastrous nominee possible. He refused to attack Obama; he wouldn’t even allow McCain surrogate speakers to use Obama’s middle name – Hussein!”
John LeBoutillier on John LeBout.com
True! McCain appeared to throw the game, didn’t seem to be interested in winning, refused to use winnable issues. Remember Rev. Wright and the militant leftist Chicago pals of Obama? John was right. Romney was almost as bad as McCain. …mm

Did John McCain throw the 2008 election? It appears so. “In 2008 the GOP nominated John McCain, perhaps the most disastrous nominee possible. He refused to attack Obama; he wouldn’t even allow McCain surrogate speakers to use Obama’s middle name – Hussein!”
John LeBoutillier on John LeBout.com
True! McCain appeared to throw the game, didn’t seem to be interested in winning, refused to use winnable issues. Remember Rev. Wright and the militant leftist Chicago pals of Obama? John was right. Romney was almost as bad as McCain. …mm

Dear editor:
The horrible killing of a black man by a white police officer in Minneapolis was, most people ask rhetorically , I don’t understand why anyone would think that the acceptable response is to burn, loot and destroy their own community business Have we as a nation become conditioned to think that the violence and destruction are the answer for racial injustice? A lot of this is the erosion and the dumbing down of intellectual ethos of journalism, media coverage of hooliganism, and even the law enforcement community to some degree. This is not a hard conundrum to figure out people.
Take for example of the constant TV coverage of mob violence across U.S. cities only glorifies this as an acceptable response to to the killing, and why was the Minneapolis police force missing in action while the so called “protesters” allowed to destroy whatever they wished in that city? Why did the police abandoned their precinct and allow the building to be vandalized and destroyed? Even journalist who print, and report that arsonist, hoodlums, and these bottom feeding scum domestic terrorist as “protesters” “folks”, and yes, please by all means, don’t forget that all too favorite noun in the English lexicon this past few years as “Gentleman” . This really emboldens these feckless idiots
(A Fox news spokes person came out and said, “The gentleman was taken into custody for burning, looting and premeditated murder”). Heck, even a representative for the United States Navy came out and reported that Osama bin Laden, said and i’ll quote in verbatim, “The gentleman was buried with full Muslim honors at sea”) Now wasn’t he, as most all media, armed forces, police and American citizens defined as the devil reincarnate? “gentleman uh? yea right! I remember, in my opinion, the greatest president this country had, Ronald Reagan, he said “This country will never fail from without, but it could fail within”.
It’s about time people in this country pull your head out of your Sigmoid Colon and wake up and smell the coffee. Please President Trump, federalized the state guard and squash these punk terrorist like a june bug.
And for you police who were seen knelling with the mob in solidarity, you are no better than the mob, you are cowards.
You would have never seen this nonsense when i wore a badge as a city officer and deputy in the 70’s.

Dear editor,
I have recently filed a Medicare fraud complaint against one of my home health service providers. The service in question, “In Home Oxygen Therapy”.
I have been prescribed the use of supplemental oxygen since November 2011. My need is based on severe COPD with chronic bronchitis. Prescribed up to 18 hours per day.
My supplier’s performance has been inadequate in both resupply and upkeep. However, there is a protective clause in Medicare law, that protects the provider under what I call, “60 month lack in” which means no matter how deficient their performance, the Medicare recipient, myself and others may not get rid of that provider and move onto another Medicare provider.
An example of “deficient performance”. I have been without portable oxygen since July 2019. Fact is my provider has not been at my door since July 2018.
It is my understanding there are many others out there with this same problem. Which is why I am here today. We need to join forces to “rectify this clause” to protect the recipient from any form of abuse from the provider.
On May 12, 2020, I filed a Medicare fraud complaint. Based on billing for services not properly rendered. However, it does not get myself or others access to reasonably competent Medicare providers due to this “60 month lock-in”.
I do not tend to sit by and let this process go unchallenged. I intend to seek a federal dilatory judgment, that the process, as written deprives both myself and others in similarly situated circumstances of both our process and equal protection of law.
Herein, I seek others who are “similarly situated”, you know who you are. Write me at the address below and give me a brief summary of your situation. Please include phone number.
Such as failure to re-supply portable oxygen bottles, or properly service the oxygen concentrator. I will pass your information on to the Medicare Fraud investigator. Also, if you wish, add your name to the federal court filing.

Rest in peace
Rest in Peace: Legendary rocker Little Richard Penniman, age 87, winningest pro football coach Don Shula, age 90, and Atlanta native Mr. America in the late 1950s Harry Johnson, age 96. Little Richard was actually tall when he grew up, around 6’ 5”. Richard was a little kid when he started performing and kept the name. He was proud to tell people he was from Macon, Georgia. I remember driving on a Macon street named for him.
We can’t risk offending pre-Democrat invaders, can we:
“Uniforms worn by park rangers are said to offend Latinos. The uniforms are insensitive because they can be confused with those worn by border police.”

“Trump has more lives than a cat.”
Laura Ingraham
She says his election is the revenge of the blue collar class. Maybe we always needed someone with a provocative take on vexing issues, also one who hits back at the media.
Don’t forget: the last Democrat to carry a majority of the white vote for president was the hideous L.B. Johnson in 1964. I was 24 in ’64 and was a Goldwater volunteer. Guaranteed – the streak will continue this year. I was a college senior in ’64 and angered many leftists with my Goldwater stickers. Back then many professors were openly conservative, believe it or not. It was a shame to see Barry lose his mind in his last years, but he was sharp in ’64.
Laura Ingraham says Fox Network’s Steve Hilton is “one of the rare conservatives in Silicon Valley.” I didn’t know he worked there. He’s very good.
Herschel Walker was an early Trump supporter. He said in May 2016 that he had already voted for Trump in the Texas Republican Primary.

To the Dodge County High School Class of 2020:
First and foremost, I want you all to know that I have seen your dedication and hard work to get to this point in your life for the last several years.
You entered the world in a time of patriotism and solidarity after the tragic events on 9/11. You are now facing a global pandemic that has brought your senior year to a screeching halt. Between memorable events like prom and senior parades, your last year of school is supposed to be a year to remember as you celebrate almost two decades of education while preparing for this next season of your life.
Your senior year will be memorable, but it will be for many more different reasons than any other graduating class. No other graduating class has ever had to experience an event like this. You have been forced to make tough decisions for yourself and in the interest of all public health. How you respond in these unprecedented times can either defeat you or strengthen you.
I challenge you to choose strength. Choose strength because this is just one of the many tests you will face in adulthood. Choose strength because you refuse this to define your future. Choose strength because you do not deserve this, but this is the situation that has been handed to you. I, along with all of the nation, will always remember the sacrifices you are making to protect the health and safety of many others.
Let your strength from this event guide your dedication and drive for a brighter and better future for you and all around you. Thank you for your flexibility and your resiliency during this time. As a school district, we also want one last chance to say congratulations and best wishes to you, a group of students who have achieved much, but will not be defined by what was lost. Congratulations, Dodge County High School Class of 2020.
Rex Hodges
Interim Superintendent
