Page 6 — Wednesday, January 7, 2009, The Millen News Farm & Home Ag Line: Keep Exposed Pipes and Hoses Protected By Wade Parker County Extension Agent With all of this warm weather, I cannot tell if it is winter or sum mer. If the warm weather contin ues, we will soon see the Bradford pears and other ornamentals start budding. However, do not forget that it is only the first of January and freezing temperatures will be back. Don’t forget to keep out door pipes and hoses protected. Freezing temperatures can cause the water in an exposed pipe or hose to expand. If the water expands too much, the pipe or hose bursts. In recent years, many people have installed or expanded home irrigation systems. With home ir rigation systems, you probably won't know you had any pipe damage until you turn it on for the first spring watering. Most in-ground sprinkler pipes will be fine, only the top 2 inches of the ground will freeze in most of Georgia. Pipes should be well below this level. Other irrigation components, such as back-flow prevention valves, at ground level though could be in danger. The bottom line is, if there are any exposed valves or pipes around your home, tape them up or use a sack. I am sure many of you are familiar with “croker sacks.” These are the burlap bags people put potatoes or pecans in. Home-improvement stores have many tapes, foams, and gadgets to keep these pipes warm on cold winter nights. The tips of sprinkler heads can hold water. When frozen, they can rupture. The whole sprinkler system holds water too, even when it isn't being used. Don't forget to drain the system. If you don’t drain it properly in the win ter, your sprinkler could be a gey ser when you turn it on next spring. Outside Water Hoses Leave the hoses hanging out side, but disconnect from faucets. Disconnect, drain, and store hoses someplace with a constant temperature. This will prolong the life of hoses. If you leave hoses undrained outside in the winter, don't move them or touch them in freezing weather. Private water users and rural residents with wells should check out their main water pump. Usu ally a quarter-inch pipe connects to the pressure switch. If it's metal, it likely won’t freeze. But if it is plastic, it might freeze and burst. This could cause the water pump to fail or continue to run and cause some major winter re pairs. These are a few suggestions to help you with winterizing your irrigation and pipes. Please do not hesitate to call with any questions.

UPCOMING AG MEETINGS Jan. 13 - Corn/Soybean Meeting, noon, Ag Center Jan. 28 - 2009 Ag Forecast, 7 a.m., Nesmith-Lane Center, Statesboro Jan. 29 - Peanut Meeting, noon, Ag Center Feb. 5 - Area Cotton Meet ing, 7 p.m., McKinney’s Pond, Midville Legal Advertising SCV camp participates in joint meeting The annual banquet honoring Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. ‘‘Stonewall” Jackson was held at RJ’s Restau rant in Statesboro Saturday, Jan. 3. For the first time, four area Sons of Confederate Veterans camps combined to put on a re ally big birthday bash: Buckhead-Fort Lawton of Millen, Black Creek Volunteers of Sylvania, Ogeechee Rifles of Statesboro and the Ebenezer Rifles of Rincon. One hundred and nine people attended from these camps and other camps in the Confederation. The Statesboro camp, commanded by Deke Cox, was the host Camp. Michael Givens of Beaufort, S.C. was the guest speaker. He currently serves as Lieutenant Commander-in-Chief of the SCV International organization. His duties and responsibilities include recruiting and retention, among others. He spoke to the assembled on the virtues and military prowess of General Lee, who is widely considered to have been the very best military officer ever produced by this country. He was cordially and enthusiastically received by all. The camps presented their lo cal awards and accolades before and immediately following the speech. Certificates of Apprecia tion were presented by Camp 2102 to the following folks who have made this past year such a success: Donna Drake, Donna Mull, Paul Herrington, Jr., Den nis Jenkins, ‘‘corporate partner” at Oliver's General Store George Saxon Sr., who also received certificates for his sons, George, Jr., and Justin. These three gentlemen have been instrumen tal in fund-raising for the camp, barbequing at festivals under the ‘‘shingle” of OT Reb's Flame- Throwed Roasted Beast! They regularly sell out. The camp officers chose com patriot Roger Saxon as “Volun teer of the Year” for his efforts in 2008. He has attended memo rials, assisted at the Buckhead Education Day, cleanups at the church and has generally made himself available for anything needed. His only prerequisite was that whatever done honors the memory of Confederate an cestors. The “Compatriot of the Year” award was elected by the camp membership at the December meeting. This year, that man was James Ellis Saxon, who has not only availed himself to the Camp and its mission, like his brother Roger, but he also serves as Adjutant in the officer corps. His particular job in the local camp entails not only maintain ing membership records and new enlistments, and the myriad of paperwork that is required by the Brigade, Georgia Division, and national organization, but also the Camp treasury. Mem bers expressed congratulations to both men. The highlight of the evening was a presentation of a shell jacket and kepi to Camp 2102’s Color Sergeant Paul Herrington by Fifth Brigade commander Mike Mull of Statesboro. Camp 2102’s newest member, David Wiggins, receives his membership certificate from Adjutant James Saxon at the December meeting.
