Page 2 — Wednesday, May 27, 2009, The Millen News 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.

(Photo contributed) 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.
