Volunteer fire department initiates
pre-emergency planning program
In order to improve fire pro
tection in the areas served by the
North Jenkins County Volunteer
Fire Department (NJCVFD), a
new pre-emergency planning
program is being initiated.
It is the department’s goal to
maintain an up-to-date diagram,
emergency shut off location,
hazardous materials present, un
usual life hazard situations and
after-hours contact information
on every commercial business
and church. Agricultural facili
ties, personal care facilities and
other special occupancies will
also be included.
These emergency plans will
be carried on every North
Jenkins and Millen-Jenkins
County fire truck and will be
available to the 911 dispatchers.
Informed firefighters are better
enabled to work safer, save
more property and protect lives.
This program is included as
an item of high priority for a fire
department when it is being
evaluated by the Insurance Ser
vices Office for lower ratings
and lower insurance premiums.
After these facilities have
been pre-planned, the depart
ment will initiate a voluntary
residential program. High haz
ard homes, such as those with
invalids, oxygen dependent per
sons, those requiring emergency
power and homes having small
children will receive priority at
tention.
Business owners and
churches should receive a re
quest to schedule a pre-plan visit
within the next three weeks.
Should anyone have ques
tions, please call Mike Lane at
(706) 871-5825.

Eagles lose to Schley County in Sweet Sixteen
The Jenkins County High
School Eagles baseball team
lost two games last week to
Schley County.
The Eagles lost the first
game 13-3.
Leading hitters were: Akeem
Young 1-1; Aaron Comstock 1-
2, homerun and 2 RBI’s; Hous
ton Bowers, Dag Gay and Will
Brinson, 1-2, singles; Spencer
Clark, 1-3, a single.
“Trevor Weathersby pitched
his heart out giving up only
four earned runs and six
hits. I’m not making any ex
cuses for the first game but we
had a hard time adjusting to
that long bus ride I think be
cause last week we only had
one error in three
games. Today we had seven er
rors in the first game. It’s very
tough to do that against a good
hitting team. Will Bragg came
in relief and did a fine job
pitching two innings and only
giving up two hits and no
earned runs,” commented
Coach Wendell Clark.
Game two saw the Eagles
score three runs to Schley
County’s six.
Leading hitters were: Dag
Gay, 2-2, homerun and 2
RBI’s; Will Brinson, 1-1, 2 BB;
and Houston Bowers, 1-2, and
aBB.
“Aaron Comstock pitched a
great game giving up only
three hits going into the sev
enth innings. They hit back to
back homeruns in that inning
after they were fired up after a
great defense play in the bot
tom of the sixth. Our Eagles
never let down. We loaded the
bases in the bottom of the sev
enth only to have the game end
on a catcher’s interference that
was not called, a tough way to
lose in the hands of someone
else. I’m very proud of this
year’s team and the fans that
were with us all
yearlong. Finishing in the
sweet sixteen was a great ac
complishment for this year’s
team,” said Coach Clark.

that Monica Broxton’s
eighth grade math classes
at Jenkins County Middle
School recently did after
finishing a unit on congru
ency. In this unit, the stu
dents learned about paral
lel and perpendicular lines,
transversals, types of
angles and congruency of
figures. Their end of the
unit project was to create
a playground showing
lines, angles, and congru
ency. These are a sample of
some of the finished
