RABITSCH
continued from page 1
Ben Graham, another Rabitsch
Road resident said, “We don’t
want to make anybody mad
but we need help out here. The
culvert pipe is disintegrating
and the ditches are full. Every-
time we get a half inch of rain
or more, the road floods. The
school bus driver doesn’t want
to come down the road after
a rain and I have even pulled
the mail carrier out of the ditch
several times.”
The residents agree that the
problem started over a year
ago when the ditches stopped
being maintained. “Other roads
are maintained more often than
ours. We would be happy to sit
down and discuss it with the
county,” Mrs. Bramblett states.
The Jenkins County Commis
sioners are aware of the prob
lem, “we have had our engineer,
Wesley Parker, evaluate our
county maintained dirt roads,”
explains Hiller Spann, Chair
man of the County Commission,
“We have over 200 miles of dirt
roads in the county and it takes
time to address all of the issues.
We want the problems fixed not
just temporarily covered up.
One suggestion from Parker En
gineering is to haul in sand and
gravel on the worst roads.”
Another recommendation was
to drag the ditches to aid in
water runoff. That has been
completed according to Chair
man Spann. “After our return
visit, the ditches seem to be
holding, but once again this
is a temporary solution to the
problem.” Chaimian Spann
has asked for a comprehensive
list of problem roads be drawn
up and the commission will
address them on a case by case
basis. “We just worry that an
emergency vehicle can’t travel
the road after a heavy rain,” Ben
concluded.

LAWTON continued from

by Kilpatrick’s 10th Wisconsin
Artillery in defense of a fighting
withdrawal across the bridge
over Buck Head Creek. The
3rd Cavalry Division retreated
north under Kilpatrick, reach
ing Reynold’s Plantation to
the north, where Kilpatrick’s
erstwhile advance brigade under
Atkins was waiting behind
barricades with artillery and dis
mounted cavalry troopers with
the rapid firing Spencer rifles.
Wheeler attempted several as
saults but withdrew eventually
under withering fire. Kilpatrick
claimed a Union victory, and
Wheeler claimed a Confeder
ate one. Arguably, with US
total casualties at forty-six, and
Confederate casualties at six
hundred—and six hundred that
could not really be afforded—
Kilpatrick may have had the
better claim. Yet, both forces
yielded the field, with Kilpatrick
reaching the main Union force
at Louisville, Georgia the 29th
of November.
War was however, not yet done
with Lawton, as we’ll see next
week. The main force of Sher
man’s Army was still miles and
days away, and as Confeder
ate and Union forces scraped
against each other, skirmishes
ignited like sparks in the back-
country of Georgia.

Fixing The Boro presents

due to high traffic and weeds.
Overseeding is an inexpensive
way to bring a ball field lawn
back it its lush, green self
without tearing out and starting
over.
The other benefit to overseed
ing is not only aesthetics but
to prevent injuries from kids
falling on bare dirt compared
to soft grass. “We don’t ever
mind providing for the children
of our county, we are happy to
do it, “ Chairman Spann con
cludes. (photo contributed)
Sarah Roehm, president and cofounder of Fixing the Boro (FTB),
a Statesboro, Georgia, based nonprofit and licensed animal rescue
and spay/neuter initiative, recently spoke with the Millen Rotary
Club. Sarah has been with the nonprofit since its inception in
2017 as a spay and neuter initiative to help control the stray animal
population.
In May, 2020 FTB opened its doors to this area’s first ever true
low cost spay/neuter facility. The SNIP Clinic. Since opening,
the clinic has served over 7,100 animals and has found homes for
as many as 1500-2000 pets a year, as well as working with 30-40
foster homes. The clinic works with the surrounding counties,
assisting with controlling stray animal populations and adoptions.
The services are available to anyone who needs them. In addition
to the spay/neuter service, the clinic sells animal products such
as food and medicines and microchip identification at a lower
cost. Currently the clinic houses 25-30 cats, 20-30 dogs, and other
animals in need.
