Meet the “Peach Lady”
Known to many simply
as the “Peach Lady,” Mrs.
Linda Newton is much
more than that. Along with
husband Rodney, Linda owns
Ogeechee Peaches, located on
Old Louisville Rod in Millen.
Linda has a heart for nature,
but an even bigger heart for
people and a fun, adventurous
spirit. When asked what
words of wisdom she had to
offer younger people, it was
no surprise when she said,
“Be adventuresome! Travel
to somewhere new. Embrace
change! Don’t worry...be
happy! And remember work
can be lots of fun....it’s all
about attitude.”
Linda Newton
Get ready for summer
reading at the library
By Sharon Blank, Special Contributor
for
The Times
Next week is the beginning of the 2023 Summer
Reading Program! It’s a much-loved tradition in our
community, and you don’t want to miss it.
We’re starting on Tuesday, June 6 at 2 pm with a brand
new performer for our kickoff event. His name is Brian
Robert, and you’ll be amazed at the wonderful magic
tricks he performs! Come in and see if you can figure out
how he does it, but if you can, don’t let anyone else know
- after all, a good magician never reveals his secrets!
If you’d like to be part of the reading part of the Summer
Reading Program, we have two options, and they’re both
pretty simple! The traditional way would be to come to
the library and get a reading log and keep track of the
time you spend reading that way. For those who want to
go more high-tech, though, there’s an app for that! The
Beanstack app is free and will do the math for you when
you’re reading, plus you can earn badges as you progress.
Either way, kids and teens will earn a prize or a book of
their choice for every five hours they read.
Every Saturday starting June 10 we will be giving away
wonderful prizes in our weekly drawing. You never know
what you’ll get if you’re one of the lucky winners! You
can enter the drawing by doing 5 activities (babies &
toddlers), reading 5 hours (kids and teens), or reading a
book (adults.) You can also enter if you attend one of our
weekly programs!
Want to know more about what’s coming up in our
Summer Reading Program? Head over to our Facebook
page at www.facebook.com/jenkinscountymemoriallibrary
or the Summer Reading page on our website at www.sjrls.
org !
Well, that’s all for now - see you at the library!

Drones: A Burden or a Benefit
By Hannah Derriso, Reporter
for
r 111: Timin
Like most technology,
drones, or unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAVs),
have their advantages and
disadvantages. Randy Hill,
Member Services Manager
for Planters EMC and head
of the drone program,
presented to the Millen
Rotary Club in hopes of
spotlighting the benefits of
drones, while recognizing
that while not hamiful in
and of themselves, drones
can be used for nefarious
reasons. Randy earned
his Bachelor of Science
in Agriculture from the
University of Georgia,
Associate in Arts from East
Georgia State College, and
Master's Degree in Business
Administration from the
University of Georgia.
He holds numerous
certifications including
Cooperative Financial
Professional Certification,
Master Cooperative
Communicator, Building
Professional Analyst,
Level II Professional
Thermographer, sUAS
Remote Pilot, and is FFA
Certified to fly drones.
On a national level.
drones have been highly
effective in military
surveillance activities,
saving lives, and protecting
property. Many law
enforcement agencies
utilize drones to track,
assess hostile situations
in order to avoid putting
officer's lives at risk,
hunt for lost persons,
and to improve crime
prevention. Commercial
uses of drones have also
been effective in farm
crop and environmental
monitoring, weather-
related observation and
mining surveying. On a
local level. Planter's EMC
has begun using drones
to inspect towers, assess
storm damage, locate
downed power lines,
and even spot hot spots
using thermal imaging.
According to Randy,
"Drones can be a tool. We'll
have guys riding, checking
lines that run right there
by the road and all of a
sudden the line go towards
a swamp. Well if that line
is down in that swamp,
somebody has to go look at
it to see if it's down before
they can energize it. So if
we can take a drone and run
it down there and see if the
line is down, it will make
things a lot more efficient.
It's a tool. But like any tool,
it can be used for good or
forbad."
Drones are becoming
increasingly popular, as
they are a fun way to get
a new perspective on the
world. However, when
it comes to drone laws,
things can get complicated.
There are restrictions on
where you can fly and
what you can film. If
you are unfamiliar with
these laws, you could find
yourself in trouble with
law enforcement officials.
Additionally, drone
operators must always keep
their drones within line of
sight. These restrictions
are in place to help protect
public safety. Anyone who
wants to fly a drone in
Georgia should familiarize
themselves with the state's
laws before taking to the
skies. Photo by H. Derriso
