Dodge County Recreation Director (DCRD) Travis Niblett gave his letter of resignation to Dodge County Manager Spence Barron on Monday, July 1, 2019.
The resignation letter stated, “ I would like to thank Dodge County for the opportunity to serve our community for the past seven years. This job has definitely been my most challenging undertaking, but also the most rewarding. I hope that you will find a successor who has the same dedication and love for our kids and for our parks and recreation that I shared.
In my time as DCRD, my team has managed to improve facilities and programs despite the lack of financial resources. My hope is that one day, our community leaders will understand the value of a good recreation and parks program. I also hope that they will come to understand the funding that is necessary to run a successful recreation and parks program.
I have made many life-long friends during my time here, and I hope to remain active in our community. I wish only the best for DCRD, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for our department.

Russ's Review
Since we have entered the second half of 2019, let’s take a look at the major sports in the state. My apologies to Atlanta United, Atlanta Dream and Georgia Tech football.
Let’s start with the team that should improve the most this year and that is the Hawks. As expected, they weren’t very good in the 2018-19 season but they did much better as the season went along. Trae Young became one of the most exciting young players in the game. The Hawks have become an offensive force as Young, Kevin Huerter and Dewayne Dedmon scored a pile of points, but defense became an issue. That led to a trade in the 2019 draft as they moved up to get De’Andre Hunter from National Champion Virginia. He is considered the best defender in the draft. He should be an asset right away. Their second number one pick, which they got from Dallas, is Cam Reddish of Duke. The reviews are very mixed on him as he struggled in his one year at Duke. If he can play up to his very high ceiling, then a low playoff spot isn’t out of the question.
Next up are the Falcons. They looked to improve on the offensive line as they spent a pair of number one picks on it. The offense shouldn’t be the problem as the skill positions shouldn’t be the issue. Jones, Sanu, Ridley and Hooper should be plenty of targets for Matt Ryan. The return of Devonte Freeman should help the running game if he can stay healthy. All the questions seem to be on the defensive side of the ball. Can Vic Beasley return to his one year of quality play? Can Grady Jarrett show interest as he is playing with the franchise tag? Can Deion Jones stay healthy for a whole season? This is the year that Dan Quinn must come through orthe Birds will be looking for a new coach.
Let’s stay on the football scene and go to Athens and take a look at Kirby Smart and the Dogs. The offense lost several key skill position players as Holyfield, Hardman, Wims and Nauta are all gone. This week wide out JJ Holloman was dismissed due to domestic issues. Still, the offense should be fine as the line is projected at number one in the conference. Fromm and Swift should have big years. It would be nice if Robertson would live up to expectations. The defense should be better so we will see. The Dogs should win the SEC East but you know who is waiting on the other side of the conference.
Now for our current team and that is the Braves. I will be the first to admit that I am stunned that they have the lead as the calendar goes to July. The offense has been sensational as all-star starters Freddie Freeman and Ronald Acuna lead the way. There isn’t an easy out in the line up. Rookie Austin Riley started great but he has come back to earth some. He has struck out quite a bit. There is no way they can keep the offense up so the pitching must improve. Do you honestly think a rotation of Keuchel, Teheran, Soroka, Fried and the unknown will win a division? Or maybe the bullpen with Luke Jackson pitching the ninth with a one run lead? Not the best case scenario for me either!
Ownership must put some money in this to make this thing work. It will be interesting to see how things go between now and July 31. I will make one fearless prediction as I see one bullpen deal being made. I do not know to what extreme.

Batting Cages Open at Recreation Department
By Russ Ragan
Monday, June 17, was a big day for the Dodge County Recreation Department.
They opened eight new batting cages at the gym of the department. The much-respected Tommy Barker Company of Atlanta put in the cages. They have put in cages for the Braves at SunTrust Park in Atlanta, at Parkview High School in Stone Mountain and, most recently, a personally built cage for Braves catcher Tyler Flowers.
We are certain the cage set up has been properly done! The cages will be open from 3:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The fee is $15.00 per hour and you can purchase a monthly membership for $45.00 that will give you four 1-hour sessions.
The cages are set up for baseball or softball. Balls are included in the $15.00 sessions. Dodge County Recreation Department Director Travis Niblett stated in regards to the department’s newest addition, “We got these cages for the county. We have a lot of boys and girls going to out of town to hit balls, so we hope everyone will come out and use them”. Niblett added, “If you are needing a baseball or softball instructor, call the department and we will try to set you up”.
Please call the recreation department at 374-4698 to reserve a session. Walk-ins are accepted depending upon availability. Reservations are asked to be on the top of the hour if possible.
One more department note is that it is time to sign up for football and soccer. Registration goes from July 8 through 31. The ages are five to 12 for football and three to 13 for soccer. The fee for football is $55.00. Soccer is $50.00.
Opening day for both will be September 7, 2019.
For more information, call the department at 374-4696. On-line registration is already underway at Dodge-Recreation.com.

They have put in cages for the Braves at SunTrust Park in Atlanta, at Parkview High School in Stone Mountain and, most recently, a personally built cage for Braves catcher Tyler Flowers.
We are certain the cage set up has been properly done! The cages will be open from 3:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The fee is $15.00 per hour and you can purchase a monthly membership for $45.00 that will give you four 1-hour sessions.
The cages are set up for baseball or softball. Balls are included in the $15.00 sessions. Dodge County Recreation Department Director Travis Niblett stated in regards to the department’s newest addition, “We got these cages for the county. We have a lot of boys and girls going to out of town to hit balls, so we hope everyone will come out and use them”. Niblett added, “If you are needing a baseball or softball instructor, call the department and we will try to set you up”.
Please call the recreation department at 374-4698 to reserve a session. Walk-ins are accepted depending upon availability. Reservations are asked to be on the top of the hour if possible.
One more department note is that it is time to sign up for football and soccer. Registration goes from July 8 through 31. The ages are five to 12 for football and three to 13 for soccer. The fee for football is $55.00. Soccer is $50.00.
Opening day for both will be September 7, 2019.
For more information, call the department at 374-4696. On-line registration is already underway at Dodge-Recreation.com.
Russ's Review
It was a wild week on the area sports scene and yes, most of it was good and some I just cannot explain. Anyway, here we go. Yes it was another big week for the Braves. They went 4-2 on the week and they increased their lead to 6.5 games as the Phillies have dropped seven straight and they are going nowhere fast. The Braves carried a 46-32 record going into Monday night’s game against the Cubs. This is the part I cannot explain. How in the world is this possible? The team has three of the projected starting rotation in AAA or on the injured list. Gausman, Newcomb and Foltynewicz have been little or no factor. Vizcaino, who was the projected closer, got injured and eventually traded.
A.J. Minter was the next closer and he was awful and eventually sent to AAA. Luke Jackson was finally named the closer. Somehow he manages to get through the ninth, but he makes it very interesting. Sunday was a good example as he came in with a two run lead and he allowed a run but did hang on for the 4-3 win. He is 11 for 17 in save opportunities this season.
The reason this team is winning is offense. It is coming from every position. First baseman Freddie Freeman in on quite a roll. He is hitting .316 with 21 homeruns and 61 RBIs. Albies is also getting the job done at second. He is still the work in progress from the left side. Still, he is hitting .282 with 11 homeruns. Swanson has been much better at short. He is hitting .259 but he has tied his career high with 14 homeruns. He also has the big hits like on Saturday with a three-run homerun against the Nationals. Donaldson has been as advertised. He has 15 homeruns and he is hitting .260 but he will probably not be back next year for one reason. It’s Austin Riley. The kid has played in 36 games and he has 12 homeruns and 34 RBIs. He is doing good enough in left field and he will probably play third next year. He has a .280 average. He will strike out a good bit and he has with 49 in 136 at bats. Due to the Inciarte injury, Acuna was forced to centerfield. Granted, his defense has struggled a little but his bat has not been affected. He is hitting .286 with 18 homeruns. Markakis has been solid in right. He has 42 RBIs and he has played in every game. Only Swanson is the other player who has been in all 78 games. There was plenty of speculation about what the team would do for catcher. They decided to go with Flowers and bring back Brian McCann.
It has paid off as they have combined for 14 homeruns and 44 RBIs. The bench has also been huge with the trio of Camargo, Culberson and a new season pickup Matt Joyce. They have combined for eight homeruns and 40 RBIs mostly in a reserve roll. Camargo hit a game winning two-run homerun in Sunday’s game in Washington. The question is, can they hang on? I do think the bats will cool off a little but they will still hit. The big question is the pitching. I know that Keuchel will continue to improve but they need one more starter. The one I like is Marcus Stroman from Toronto. His record isn’t as good, it’s 5-9, but his ERA is 3.04 and that is really good in the American League.
They also need a closer. Sorry to all Luke Jackson fans but I don’t think he is the answer. I also like a BlueJay here and it is Ken Giles. He has 12 saves and he has 47 strikeouts in just 27 innings and the league is just hitting .202 against him. His ERA is just 1.33. He only has one blown save for the season. His only blown save was back in April against the Red Sox. The price shouldn’t be real high on getting the pair and getting these two would go a long way toward winning the National League East.
I knew the Hawks were going to be aggressive going into last week’s draft. There was no question that they wanted to move up into the top five of the draft. They found a trade partner in New Orleans. They sent a pair of the three first round picks, 8 and 17 and a second round pick for the fourth overall pick, number 57 and the contract of Soloman Hill. They used the fourth pick on Virginia forward De’Andre Hunter. He is considered the best defensive player in the draft. He should also contribute to the high-powered offense led by Trae Young.
They still had the 10th overall pick and they got Cam Reddish from Duke. He didn’t have a great year but his upside was just too good to pass up. I really like the direction that this time is going. I don’t think that they are playoff quite yet but who knows? There are also reports that the Hawks and Lakers are talking trade so something else may be on the agenda.

APPROVAL
PI 0013824
DODGE COUNTY
Notice is hereby given that the GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION has approved the use of and the routing of a detour for this project.
The date of detour approval is: May 20, 2019
The project proposes to replace the existing bridge on SR 230/Lower River Rd over Big Branch Creek in Dodge County, located 8.3 miles NW of Rhine, GA.
THE PROPOSED PROJECT BEGINS APPROXIMATELY 862 FT SOUTH OF BIG BRANCH CREEK AND ENDS 938 FT NORTH. THE TOTAL LENGTH OF THE PROJECT IS APPROXIMATELY 1,800 FEET (0.3 MILES). THE EXISTING BRIDGE IS PROPOSED TO BE REPLACED WITH A 132-FT LONG BY 39.25-FT WIDE BRIDGE OVER BIG BRANCH CREEK THAT WILL BE CONSTRUCTED AT THE EXISTING LOCATION, REQUIRED HYDRAULIC ELEVATION, AND ROADWAY CENTERLINE.
