The return of passport services will undoubtedly streamline the process for residents, and it wouldn't have been possible without Mayor Rocker's proactive involvement. Mayor Rocker revealed his contribution, saying, "I had some contacts from my father-in-law's days and used them." His connections played a pivotal role in expediting the revival of this essential service, benefiting the community he serves. Senator Rick Allen's liaison, Brinsley Thigpen, who happens to be a family friend of Mayor Rocker's, played a crucial role in facilitating the process. This collaboration highlights the power of partnerships in local governance and how personal relationships can help make positive changes for a community. While Mayor Rocker and his associates worked diligently to make this initiative a reality. Clerk Tracey Herrington elaborated on the timeline for implementing the passport services. "It will be approximately 2-3 weeks before we are fully capable of helping citizens with their passports," Clerk Herrington explained, acknowledging that there are still some procedural steps to finalize. Citizens looking to acquire passports should be aware that they will still need to obtain passport photos from a designated source. Clerk Herrington expressed her gratitude to Mayor Rocker and his office for their unwavering support, emphasizing the importance of their involvement. "We couldn't have offered this service so expeditiously had it not been for Mayor Rocker." One of the challenges in reinstating passport services at the Clerk of Court's office was the need for extensive online training to ensure that staff members were certified to perform these tasks. Typically, this certification October “FLY Student of the Month” Jenkins County Elementary School staff members nominated students for the October “FLY Student of the Month” to reward academic excellence and behavior.

(912)403-2536 Chicken Serial Killer Captured On Wednesday, October 25, while I was delivering papers, I went to Hiltonia to find a little something to aid in easing a cough when I met the captured serial killer. This young bobcat had wreaked havoc on chicken owners as he had killed over 100 of the tasty fowl. When questioned the bobcat (unable to tell the sex as it had its tail tucked the entire time) just growled and hissed and became a little agitated when anyone approached. It seems that he was taking off the heads and one leg so the chickens could not identify him or even attempt to run after him with their heads cut off. Thankfully, the kind gentlemen who captured him, was exiling the killer to the untamed wilds of Hiltonia Perkins Road in a 100-acre wooded lot to enjoy the rest of his life. This cat lover sure wanted to pet him but alas, I need my fingers and hands to continue in life. These animals are very dangerous not just to chickens but to humans as well.
