It will be a very busy summer at the Dodge Recreation Department. June will be especially busy. A total of 25 teams are expected to invade the department for the first part of the Dodge Invitational Tournament. It will be for the seven and eight year old and the nine and ten year old all-star teams from the area. The event will be played on June 9 and 10. “It should be a very busy weekend for our community as 300 players will be here from out of town and they will bring a big crowd with them,” said director Travis Niblett. The second half of the Invitational will be played on June 16 and 17, as the 12 and under boys and 14 and under boys event will be played.
The tourney on June 9 and 10 will be for both boys and girls all-star teams.
Those aren’t the only events in June for the department. The Boys Seven and Eight District One Class C All-Star Tournament will be held here from June 23 through the 27. “GRPA got rid of sub-districts this year so all the district tournaments will be bigger, and we feel like we got a real good event,” said director Niblett. There will be a total of ten teams coming to our town and they will bring a big crowd. It should be a very busy time for our town. There will be a $5.00 admission charge for adults in these tournaments.
Starting on July 17, the department will begin their first annual Sports Camp. There is no charge for the camp, and it is open for kids ages six to 12. Even though the camp is free, all the kids must be pre-registered by July 1, either at the department office or going online at www.Dodge-Recreation.com. A free lunch will be provided. The camp will be from July 17 through August 4. It will run Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Spots for the camp are limited.
The camp will be centered around rebuilding basketball, but other team sports, including soccer, track events, frisbee and kickball will be done.
It has been a very busy last 12 months at the department. “Money had been saved up to make improvements and everything is shaping up good,” said Niblett. Last year, the department added goal posts to the field. That allowed them to host the District 12 and under football tournament. It was Dodge’s first district hosting for football and the goal posts were required in order to host the event.
It has also been a very busy year for the department, as they have been doing a lot of improvements to the facility. The department has got a new field mower and utility vehicle. They also have a new irrigation well. The fields are in great shape now due to a lot of work from Niblett and staff. Also, the department’s biggest field saw a new sodding to the infield last winter, and it played very well in the 2017 season. There were other upgrades during the baseball season. The department got all new nets for the backstops on all the fields. Most recently, all new roofs have been added to the dugouts and spectator stands. New security cameras and public address systems have been upgraded. “We have made of bunch of upgrades to our fields and facility, and we have not increased any of our fees for our sports,” said Niblett. The department has also revamped their sponsorship system. All the action at the department will begin on June 9, so go take a look see!

Just when you thought the political game couldn’t get any nuttier, Nevada Senator Harry Reid retired and his Latina replacement proved even nuttier than Harry. Demoleft Senator Cortez Masto (which sounds like a male name to me) says she wants to see mandated diversity quotas in Congress and its committees. We are stuck with this loser for six long years, maybe longer. Who knows – she could become the next president of the USA in eight years, after Donald Trump serves his two terms.
You can never be diverse enough and quotas are the next step. Who decides if we are sufficiently diverse? The liberal ruling class, of course. Naturally she waited until after her unfortunate election to expose many of her leftist ideas.
Angry White Dude has it figured. He says: “Hey. AWD is all for diversity in the Senate. Maybe we could get a conservative or two.”

T-shirt slogan in large letters reads: Mr. Trump BUILD That Wall. The gent wearing the shirt was a black man also.
It takes a special kind of lunatic to think that importing illegal welfare recipients who want to kill us is a good idea.  They’re pre-Democrats, too.
President Trump most of the time is a good guy. That’s not a bad record for a politician these days. Despite what we hear from the media hatemongers, Trump has been fairly effective in getting his programs up and running. He filled the Supreme Court vacancy, which made liberals hate him even more. Big media makes no pretense of accurate reporting. The objective is undermining a conservative president.
I call them the Big Five - tax cuts, term limits, oil drilling, border control and Donald Trump: liberals hate all five. I like the five. I’ve never heard a liberal advocate term limits – have you?  On some of these issues they will hedge at election time,  then show you their true leftism after the election. Being vague can sway low information voters, who fall for doubletalk.
