So Easy to Preserve: Canning tips
When preparing to preserve
food, people tend to ignore
the details until they begin the
process.
Planning ahead can prevent
problems down the road. The
first thing to consider is the
safety and operating condi
tion of canning equipment. If
a pressure canner has a dial
gauge, it should be tested
yearly. The Burke County
Extension Office can provide
this service.
UGA County Extension
Agent Terri Black recommends
checking the rubber gasket in
the lid to see if it is pliable
and in good condition; if not,
replace it with a new gasket.
Next, she suggests a safety
check on the vent, safety valve,
and edges of the lid to be sure
they are clean. To clean the
vent, draw a string or narrow
strip of cloth through the open
ing. Follow the manufacturer’s
direction for cleaning the seal
ing edges for the canner. Lastly,
she advises that doing the
homework to make sure people
have the latest research-based
food preservation information.
The 6th Edition So Easy to
Preserve from The University
of Georgia Cooperative Exten
sion, is available for purchase.
The book contains the most
recent recommendations for
safe food preservation. So Easy
to Preserve is a 375-page book
with over 185 tested recipes,
along with step- by- step in
structions and in-depth infor
mation for both the new and
experienced food preserver.
Anyone interested in learn
ing to can, ordering the book
or having a dial gauge tested
should call (706) 554-2119 for
more information.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Editor:
Please permit this telling of a
personal episode. When I was
a young lawyer, early in my
practice in Augusta, I received
a call from a well-respected
lawyer and judge from my
hometown of McDonough,
Georgia. The caller was Judge
Alex Crumley. Alex had been a
few years ahead of me in high
school, and all of us looked up
to him as he finished Georgia
Law School, went into prac
tice, and became a Superior
Court Judge.
The reason for Alex’s call
that day was to tell me that
Brantley
his church, he also used his
talent to expand the musical
arts throughout the community.
Jean Bare field, the current
Director of Music at the First
Baptist Church, worked with
Jack Brantley for many years,
both in the church and the
community.
Barefield said this week
that after his retirement from
the Army, he quickly became
a vital member of the com
munity and of First Baptist
Church. “The church soon
found itself in need of a music
director, and Jack responded
to the need. He was masterful
in choices of music, and an
accomplished director, having
directed choirs while in service
to our country.”
Barefield added that, “in
1982, Jack organized the
Waynesboro Community
Choir. Ginger Jenkins was
pianist and I served as organ
ist. Choir members gath
ered for practice weeks be
fore programs which included
Palm Sunday, Easter Sunrise,
Thanksgiving, Christmas and
several patriotic programs. We
were also fortunate to sing on
the steps of our historic Burke
County courthouse steps in
1996 for the Olympic Torch
Run through Georgia.”
She said that, “Jack was a
gifted bass - after he retired
he had qualified to run for the
Georgia Supreme Court and
asked for my help. It was ex
citing to hear that a respected
friend like Alex was seeking
this important position. I asked
him if he was running for an
open seat or was challenging
an incumbent. It turned out that
he was challenging a sitting
Justice, someone who I did
not know at that time. I asked
Alex what the deficiency was
with the sitting Justice that
made Alex want to run against
him. He said there was none. I
followed up by asking, so why
then was he challenging this
as FBC Director he sang in
the choir and also directed a
men’s quartet. Jack always
liked to say that he ‘taught me
all I know.’ Always a southern
gentleman, Jack loved family,
church, community, country,
and above all else God as re
flected in music he chose for
his church and community
Justice. The answer was that
Alex thought that he, himself,
would make a good Justice.
It was with a heavy heart
that I told Alex that I would
not be able to support him. If
the sitting Justice was doing
a good job for the people of
our State, I did not think Alex
had a sufficient reason to run
against him.
I could not then and cannot
now support a challenger just
because a challenger would
like to have the job of a sitting
judge. That has remained my
view the last 35 years, and it
applies to the challenges to our
Continued from front
choirs and for his celebration
of life.”
Barefield says that, “Jack
will always have a special
place in my heart. It was an
honor to serve with him in the
music ministry at FBC. I will
always admire his musical gifts
and selfless commitment to
excellence.”
