Dodge's First Bulldog
By Joey Marchant
Governor Brian Kemp’s executive order providing that students not return to the classroom this year to help prevent the spread of the
novel corona virus effectively ended the high school baseball season in Georgia and with it the careers of seven
Dodge County seniors. I will be back next week to take a closer look at these seniors.
For now, here is a story about Dodge County’s first football star.
Over the years, Dodge County has sent many players to the University of Georgia.
The late Jimmy Harper was a two time All SEC offensive lineman who won a national championship and blocked for Herschel Walker in the
early 1980s. At a time when offensive linemen were much smaller than today, Harper stood 6’6” and weighed 280
pounds earning him the nickname “The Mountain.”
Maurice Harrell was a 6’3” strong safety from Dodge County who transitioned to tight end for coach Ray Goff
in the early 1990s. Kalvin Daniels earned a spot in Athens as a walk on running back for coach Mark
Richt from 2007-2009 where he made the Dean’s List while competing against Knowshon Moreno and Thomas Brown.
Most recently, Chauncey’s Leonard Floyd played under coach Richt becoming the ninth overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft and signing
a multimillion-dollar contract with the Chicago Bears. After being released by the Bears recently, Floyd signed a oneyear deal with the Los Angeles
Rams worth $10 million. With incentives, Floyd could earn $13 million this year.
However, Dodge’s first Bulldog is little known today. David Roscoe Peacock was born in Dodge County on March 15, 1890. At some
point, he picked up the nickname “Emp” and was known by this moniker throughout his time in Athens. Emp starred at the offensive guard
position and blocked for Georgia’s first All American and College Football Hall of Famer Bob McWhorter. Emp was named All Southern in
1911 and 1912. He was chosen as captain of the 1912 team.
The Athens Banner Herald called Emp “one of the most aggressive linemen in the South.” Emp weighed only
185 pounds. He also played baseball at Georgia and was very involved in campus life. After graduating in 1912,
Emp returned to campus as an assistant coach in 1913, and he later coached football at Mercer.
Not only was Emp a leader on the football field, Emp was a leader of men as well. Emp earned a Bachelor’s Degree in
Law from the University of Georgia, and he then earned a Master’s Degree in Law from the University of Michigan.
Emp soon returned to Eastman where he practiced law before being elected to the State Senate and chosen to
serve as president pro tempore in 1916. At the young age of 26, Emp was the second in command of the Georgia
State Senate. He served only one term. Emp’s leadership continued when he resigned as State Senator to serve his country in World War I. The following
is Emp’s letter of resignation written to Governor Hugh Dorsey and published in the Atlanta Constitution: “Dear Governor: Realizing that the
country needs every available man possible in the military service at this time, and that there are other men that cannot
go to the front for various reasons and who can serve the State of Georgia in her legislative halls, I am tendering my
resignation as State Senator from the Fifteenth Senatorial District. With kindest regards to you and Mrs. Dorsey, I am
your friend D. Roscoe Peacock.” Emp served for two years in Europe participating in several major offensives.
How many today would resign their position to join the military in time of war?
Emp returned home to Eastman where he practiced law after the war. He married Mary Jane Kingery of Emanuel County, and the couple had
the first of their three children in Eastman. Emp chose to run for congress in 1920 against incumbent William Washington Larson of Laurens County,
but the football and war hero could not even carry his home county of Dodge as he was soundly defeated. Perhaps
Emp felt betrayed because he left Dodge County a few years later for Bradenton, Florida. The Tampa suburb was in those days about the
size that Eastman is today. There he practiced law, invested in real estate, raised cattle and lived what appears to have been a quiet life. The
Army veteran checked into Bay Pines V.A Hospital in Saint Petersburg, Florida in 1944 where he later died at the age of 54.
In the Butts Mehre Heritage Hall on the campus of the University of Georgia, there is located a touch screen
interactive display which allows visitors to place their fingers on a map of Georgia and see former football lettermen from each county.
Touching Dodge reveals no mention of Emp Peacock. It’s as if the pages of time have erased Ole Emp Peacock from the memories of
Dodge County citizens, but from what I can tell, he represented Dodge well throughout the state, the nation and the world.

Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
Thank you for serving your community with a reliable news source. It is because of your reliability that I write today in hope that you can bring more awareness to your community and state about the needs of the low-income senior population.
Low-income seniors age 65 and over in Georgia have total incomes including social security and any other income between $12,384 (poverty) and $18,576 (150% poverty). This is too much income for Medicaid eligibility but not enough to meet ones basic needs. Medicare supplement premiums are unaffordable, as well as the co-pays of Medicare Advantage plans. Thus, many wait to do to the doctor until symptoms can no longer be ignored. This means chronic illnesses are not well managed and these seniors have a decline in health at a greater rate than those with higher incomes (Graves, et. Al., Health Affairs 39, Col. 1(2020: 67-76). As you know, seniors are at a greater risk to develop complications from the coronavirus, as well as flu and other common illnesses. If one is not in optimum health at the onset of such an illness, the risk for complications can be even greater.
There are some groups working with legislators to alleviate the financial strain of this population; Leading Age Group, The Georgia Council on Aging, and The Oaks Resident Advocacy Group, to name a few. These groups are helping seniors to obtain the basic needs for a dignified life. My hope is that you will investigate and publish the dilemma of seniors in Georgia aging with minimal financial resources. With a concerted effort by all Georgia’s citizens, change can happen.
Sincerely,
Barbara Adle

Dear editor,
Simple yet powerful words. How can a person talk and talk and talk and yet when it comes time to speak words that have great importance, they are speechless? Two of those weighty words are “I’m Sorry”.
Without these words, and the sincerity of spirit backing them up, marriages fail, friendships break apart, family members suffer, working relationships become strained and the church loses its ability to minister to people.
So why do we become tongue-tied on those simple words? Because it is easy it is easy to justify our position on any matter. Easy to take our own side in an argument. You name it, and we can find a way to point to someone else as the villain in any given circumstance. We must be the heroes after all. We know our Bibles. We sit in the same pews ever Sunday. We can spot sin in someone else’s life faster that you can say “Judgment Day”! But the truth is, sometimes even as Christians we choose to play the villain in our life story. We forget kindness and we turn our backs on justice. We forget the most important scripters on love.
We need to take a deep love in the mirror, spiritually speaking, asking the Lord to show us if we are at fault and to give us the courage to make things right with others, to say the simple yet powerful words that can change a heart, a life.
Lord, please give me a humble heart so that I may always please you. Amen.

Dear editor,
Well, the government stimulus check is in the mail to millions of Americans to mitigate the effects of this little bug sojourning around our nation in economic shut down. But how many families will use this money in a way to help in a time of need? A few ways come to mind given the irresponsibility of so many citizens in this 21st Century.
Last time I checked on another money grab give away by another republican president was George H Bush, in 2005 for the thousands of citizens fleeing Louisiana in the days before Hurricane Katrina and settled in Houston, Texas. Several investigative media reporting, confirmed that a plurality of those wayward citizens used that thousand dollar gov’t give away on liquor, beer, cigarettes, and lap dances! Not necessarily in that order either.
Now with this current money give away, most Americans act like yaeeeey free money. Now, where do these idiots think this free money is coming from? It’s not free, you the tax payer is paying for this non sense. Only in America with these leeches with their hands out like a baby bird in a nest with their mouth open to be fed.
Now before you strong Trump supporters me included, get your knickers in a wad, put your impartial brain in gear and revisit what President Trump ran on in fiscal conservationism in reduced gov’t spending, and minimal gov’t debt during election, and reelection. It’s so contrary to his values, and undoubtedly quiet the opposite of Trump’s anti welfare rhetoric, if our economy was really as great as President claimed, the stimulus checks wouldn’t be necessary.
Do the math folks, these are reelection checks aimed at voters. And the irony of this, the same voters he is aiming for are NOT going to vote for him anyway. My opinion would have been to help people in need as in vouchers to pay food, rent, and utilities. Nope, lets raid the national treasury and help pole and lap dancers, state Lotto funds, cigarettes and liquor sales.
Politicians hard at work.

On the 5 yard line
Carl Ichan moved from New York City to Miami, Florida last year for lower taxes and maybe for better weather.
Impeachment talk about Donald Trump tries to create the illusion that he is doing something wrong. His offense to them is that he isn’t liberal enough.
Sen. Mitch McConnell says on 3-24-20 of the potential virus cure “I believe we are on the 5 yard line.” Let’s hope so but maybe Mitch was talking about our own five, 95 yards from paydirt.
He had Karl Rove figured out early on. How does Rove keep his job?
“Karl Rove wants to kill conservatism and play nice with Obama.”

Maybe Karl’s white chalkboard has the GOP leadership mesmerized.
Over 6 million Americans dropped off the food stamp program under the Trump presidency. Under Obama, they were advertising for people to get on the program. Once there they would almost certainly be loyal Democrats.
New York City comes to mind when one considers cities with large Jewish populations, but the city is only 9.7 percent Jewish. Palm Beach County, Florida is more than 20 percent Jewish.
Savvy commentator Michelle Malkin said in September 2019 that there were 30 million illegals in the USA. She says the 30 million figure comes from independent auditors. Big media claimed 13 million or some other lower number.
An extremist is now defined as someone who believes in America First.
The head of the Red Cross reportedly made more than $650,000 per year in 2018, almost as much as Fox News loser Juan Williams made. The head of United Way made $375,000 annually, while the head of the Salvation Army made only $13,000 per year. Keep those numbers in mind next time you make charitable donations.

GBI investigates Eastman shooting
On Monday, April 6, 2020, shortly after 3:00 p.m., the Eastman Police Department requested the assistance of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) Eastman Office to assist with an aggravated assault investigation. Law enforcement initially responded to Eastman Street in reference to a person being shot. When responding officers made contact with the victim, Terry Faulk, age 47, it was determined that Faulk was shot multiple times. Faulk was transported to the Dodge County Hospital where he was later airlifted to Navicent Hospital in Macon. Faulk was treated and released.
It was determined that the shooting incident occurred on Page Street. Faulk was involved in a verbal altercation with Roger Burnham, age 61, while both were seated in their respective vehicles. Faulk’s vehicle struck Burnham’s vehicle during the altercation. Burnham then shot at Faulk, striking him multiple times. Faulk left the scene and traveled to his residence on Eastman Street. There was a passenger in Faulk’s vehicle that was not injured during the incident.
Burnham is being held at the Dodge County Law Enforcement Center on two counts of aggravated assault.
The investigation is active and ongoing. If anyone has information, please contact the GBI Eastman office at 478-374-6988 or the Eastman Police Department at 478-374-7721.
The Dodge County Sheriff’s Department reported the following arrests from March 16 through March 31, 2020.
Micheal David Carrigg, age 41, of Milledgeville was arrested for battery/simple assault-family violence.
Christopher Marquis Cofield, age 45, was arrested for sale of methamphetamine.

Dodge’s Spitfire Legend By Joey Marchant
The Georgia High School Association called a meeting for March 27th to discuss all possible options for resuming spring sports. Before that meeting could take place, Governor Kemp extended Georgia school closings through April 24th. The GHSA seems to be holding off on any sort of decision pending Governor Kemp’s next move, which should be made known in the next three weeks.
With no current baseball to report on, I thought it would be interesting to look back at one of Dodge’s oldest and most accomplished baseball players of whom I suspect most have never heard. John Byron (“Jimmy”) Vaughan was born in Eastman in 1892. Jimmy played baseball growing up in Eastman, but I do not know much about Jimmy’s exploits until he joined the Macon Peaches of the South Atlantic League in 1914.
Jimmy made his minor league debut 106 years ago to the day that I am writing this article on March 27, 1914. Jimmy was 22 years old. Jimmy’s first assignment was to face what would turn out to be the 1914 World Series Champion Boston Braves.
Jimmy, who had begun pitching at the age of 16, scattered six hits over nine innings in a 4-0 victory over the Braves. Jimmy allowed only one Brave past second base. To be fair to the future World Series Champions, this was a split squad game with the Braves’ A Team traveling to Atlanta to face the Minor League Atlanta Crackers while the Braves’ B Team stayed behind at the Braves’ spring training home in Macon to face the Peaches. The fact that Jimmy was facing the B Team means he probably did not see Boston’s Hall of Famers Rabbit Maranville and the newly acquired former Cub Johnny Evers. However, Jimmy’s feat was still impressive. These were real major league players on a World Series Championship Team.
When Jimmy arrived in Macon, he stood only 5’8” and weighed 145 lbs. He was armed with a good fastball and a curveball, but he had yet to develop his famous spitball. Throwing a spitball involved wetting the ball with saliva in certain spots. Applied over and over between pitches, the saliva would cause the ball to drop sharply as it crossed the plate. A good spitball was almost impossible to hit. Jimmy learned the spitball from another young Macon Peaches pitcher from Columbus, Georgia by the name of Dana Fillingim. The spitball would carry Fillingim all the way to the Major Leagues where he pitched six seasons with the Boston Braves and parts of two more seasons with the Philadelphia Athletics and the Philadelphia Phillies. Meanwhile, Jimmy played the 1914 and 1915 seasons with the Macon Peaches and the 1916 season with the Montgomery Rebels.
In 1917, Jimmy and his wife Joe Lee left Alabama and headed to Akron, Ohio where they both found jobs in Akron’s booming rubber industry. However, Jimmy’s baseball career was just getting started. Baseball was truly America’s National Pastime in those days. In addition to the Major Leagues and the various Minor Leagues existed several Industrial League Teams across America. These semiprofessional teams were sponsored by local industries and made up primarily of factory workers. However, the managers were not above bringing in a ringer or two. This is how Shoeless Joe Jackson found work after being banned from the Major Leagues for his role in the 1919 Black Sox Scandal. Back home, the Eastman Cotton Mill had a team.
Interestingly, Jimmy joined the General Tire Company baseball team despite being an employee of rival Firestone. As you might imagine, this did not go over well with either company. However, rather than changing baseball teams, Jimmy changed jobs taking a position with General Tire in 1919.
Jimmy dominated Akron Industrial League Baseball for several years. Jimmy pitched a total of 10 years for General Tire before the team disbanded in 1929 averaging nine strikeouts a game with a 1.75 ERA. Jimmy threw two no hitters. On six occasions, Jimmy pitched both games of a doubleheader. In 1919, Jimmy went 15-0 and pitched 56 consecutive scoreless innings.
Jimmy’s most famous performance came in 1922 when he hooked up with Firestone’s Percy McKinstry in a pitching duel for the ages. Jimmy struck out 24 batters allowing 7 hits and 0 runs in a game that went 20 innings before being called for darkness. It appeared that McKinstry had bested Jimmy by striking out 33 batters in the contest while allowing 5 hits and 0 runs. However, Jimmy got the last laugh when he blanked Firestone three days later by a score of 4-0 to give General Tire the League Championship. The marathon game is still talked and written about in Akron today.
While pitching for General Tire, Jimmy had several opportunities to pitch against Major League teams and some of the All-Time Greats in exhibition games. It was not uncommon for Major League teams in that day to play an exhibition game against a semiprofessional team in the middle of the regular season. One would expect the Major League teams to rest their star players for these exhibitions, but this was frowned upon as the stars were necessary to maximize the tickets sold and the profit. As Jimmy was General Tire’s best pitcher, he started many of these games.
Such was the case in September 1922 when the New York Yankees came to Akron to face General Tire. Akron was abuzz with news that the Great Babe Ruth was coming to town. The Akron Beacon Journal ran a contest inviting youngsters to guess the Babe’s weight. The kids mobbed Ruth at times during the game. Ever the showman, Ruth would have loved nothing more than to belt a homerun for the kids of Akron. Ruth had hit two homers and two doubles the day before in Philadelphia. The box score shows that Ruth had two hits and scored two runs in the Yankees 11-4 victory over General Tire. However, a newspaper account reveals that Jimmy kept Ruth in the park that day and struck out the Babe swinging in his final at bat.
In other exhibition games, Jimmy faced Hall of Famers Pie Traynor of the Pittsburgh Pirates and George Sisler of the Boston Braves. Jimmy also faced great Negro National League teams like the Kansas City Monarchs and the Homestead Grays who were stationed in nearby Pittsburgh. Jimmy also faced very talented hitters in the Industrial League. On one occasion, Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby brought his Boston Braves to town for an exhibition and left having signed two of Jimmy’s teammates and taken them with the Braves team on the train back to Boston.
Jimmy himself had a chance to sign a professional contract with the St. Louis Browns (now known as the Baltimore Orioles), but he declined presumably because the Browns made known they planned to send him to start off with their Mobile, Alabama minor league team. I wonder if it also had something to do with the Majors having outlawed the spitball after the 1920 season due in part to the death of Cleveland’s Ray Chapman who died after being struck in the head with a pitch. Chapman is believed to have been unable to see the dirtied up baseball. Seventeen major league pitchers then throwing the spitball were grandfathered in and allowed to keep throwing it. Among these was Jimmy’s old friend Dana Fillingim.
When Firestone struggled to defeat Jimmy on the mound, Firestone’s manager lobbied the Akron Industrial League to outlaw the spitball. I am not sure if the Akron Industrial League ever banned the pitch, but Jimmy quit going to his mouth with his fingers and learned to spit in his glove where he could apply the necessary saliva. Jimmy learned that he could produce more saliva by chewing a substance known as slippery elm. Some teams got wise to Jimmy and put a substance known as acacia on the baseballs, which was intended to make the balls less susceptible to spittle. Not to be outdone, Jimmy developed a paraffin ball by secretly applying the substance to his gray uniform and then the baseball. Jimmy would fake the spitball and throw the paraffin ball, which tended to sail rather than drop. Jimmy credited the spitball for his longevity. He noted that he threw the spitball about every three pitches and never had a sore arm. When Jimmy wasn’t pitching for General Tire, he picked up with other teams across Ohio and Pennsylvania getting paid as much as $100.00 a game to pitch.
Jimmy was inducted to the Summit County, Ohio Sports Hall of Fame in 1963. After retiring, Jimmy and Joe Lee moved to Fort Pierce, Florida where Jimmy died in 1966 at the age of 74. If you would like to read more about Jimmy including seeing many photographs, you can access old copies of the Akron Beacon Journal on newspapers.com. I hope that you have enjoyed reading about this forgotten Dodge County baseball player. Next week, I intend to write about Dodge’s first college football star. I doubt you have heard of him either, but you will certainly recognize the surname.

To be fair to the future World Series Champions, this was a split squad game with the Braves’ A Team traveling to Atlanta to face the Minor League Atlanta Crackers while the Braves’ B Team stayed behind at the Braves’ spring training home in Macon to face the Peaches. The fact that Jimmy was facing the B Team means he probably did not see Boston’s Hall of Famers Rabbit Maranville and the newly acquired former Cub Johnny Evers. However, Jimmy’s feat was still impressive. These were real major league players on a World Series Championship Team.
When Jimmy arrived in Macon, he stood only 5’8” and weighed 145 lbs. He was armed with a good fastball and a curveball, but he had yet to develop his famous spitball. Throwing a spitball involved wetting the ball with saliva in certain spots. Applied over and over between pitches, the saliva would cause the ball to drop sharply as it crossed the plate. A good spitball was almost impossible to hit. Jimmy learned the spitball from another young Macon Peaches pitcher from Columbus, Georgia by the name of Dana Fillingim. The spitball would carry Fillingim all the way to the Major Leagues where he pitched six seasons with the Boston Braves and parts of two more seasons with the Philadelphia Athletics and the Philadelphia Phillies. Meanwhile, Jimmy played the 1914 and 1915 seasons with the Macon Peaches and the 1916 season with the Montgomery Rebels.
In 1917, Jimmy and his wife Joe Lee left Alabama and headed to Akron, Ohio where they both found jobs in Akron’s booming rubber industry. However, Jimmy’s baseball career was just getting started. Baseball was truly America’s National Pastime in those days. In addition to the Major Leagues and the various Minor Leagues existed several Industrial League Teams across America. These semiprofessional teams were sponsored by local industries and made up primarily of factory workers. However, the managers were not above bringing in a ringer or two. This is how Shoeless Joe Jackson found work after being banned from the Major Leagues for his role in the 1919 Black Sox Scandal. Back home, the Eastman Cotton Mill had a team.
Interestingly, Jimmy joined the General Tire Company baseball team despite being an employee of rival Firestone. As you might imagine, this did not go over well with either company. However, rather than changing baseball teams, Jimmy changed jobs taking a position with General Tire in 1919.
Jimmy dominated Akron Industrial League Baseball for several years. Jimmy pitched a total of 10 years for General Tire before the team disbanded in 1929 averaging nine strikeouts a game with a 1.75 ERA. Jimmy threw two no hitters. On six occasions, Jimmy pitched both games of a doubleheader. In 1919, Jimmy went 15-0 and pitched 56 consecutive scoreless innings.
Jimmy’s most famous performance came in 1922 when he hooked up with Firestone’s Percy McKinstry in a pitching duel for the ages. Jimmy struck out 24 batters allowing 7 hits and 0 runs in a game that went 20 innings before being called for darkness. It appeared that McKinstry had bested Jimmy by striking out 33 batters in the contest while allowing 5 hits and 0 runs. However, Jimmy got the last laugh when he blanked Firestone three days later by a score of 4-0 to give General Tire the League Championship. The marathon game is still talked and written about in Akron today.
While pitching for General Tire, Jimmy had several opportunities to pitch against Major League teams and some of the All-Time Greats in exhibition games. It was not uncommon for Major League teams in that day to play an exhibition game against a semiprofessional team in the middle of the regular season. One would expect the Major League teams to rest their star players for these exhibitions, but this was frowned upon as the stars were necessary to maximize the tickets sold and the profit. As Jimmy was General Tire’s best pitcher, he started many of these games.
Such was the case in September 1922 when the New York Yankees came to Akron to face General Tire. Akron was abuzz with news that the Great Babe Ruth was coming to town. The Akron Beacon Journal ran a contest inviting youngsters to guess the Babe’s weight. The kids mobbed Ruth at times during the game. Ever the showman, Ruth would have loved nothing more than to belt a homerun for the kids of Akron. Ruth had hit two homers and two doubles the day before in Philadelphia. The box score shows that Ruth had two hits and scored two runs in the Yankees 11-4 victory over General Tire. However, a newspaper account reveals that Jimmy kept Ruth in the park that day and struck out the Babe swinging in his final at bat.
In other exhibition games, Jimmy faced Hall of Famers Pie Traynor of the Pittsburgh Pirates and George Sisler of the Boston Braves. Jimmy also faced great Negro National League teams like the Kansas City Monarchs and the Homestead Grays who were stationed in nearby Pittsburgh. Jimmy also faced very talented hitters in the Industrial League. On one occasion, Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby brought his Boston Braves to town for an exhibition and left having signed two of Jimmy’s teammates and taken them with the Braves team on the train back to Boston.
Jimmy himself had a chance to sign a professional contract with the St. Louis Browns (now known as the Baltimore Orioles), but he declined presumably because the Browns made known they planned to send him to start off with their Mobile, Alabama minor league team. I wonder if it also had something to do with the Majors having outlawed the spitball after the 1920 season due in part to the death of Cleveland’s Ray Chapman who died after being struck in the head with a pitch. Chapman is believed to have been unable to see the dirtied up baseball. Seventeen major league pitchers then throwing the spitball were grandfathered in and allowed to keep throwing it. Among these was Jimmy’s old friend Dana Fillingim.
When Firestone struggled to defeat Jimmy on the mound, Firestone’s manager lobbied the Akron Industrial League to outlaw the spitball. I am not sure if the Akron Industrial League ever banned the pitch, but Jimmy quit going to his mouth with his fingers and learned to spit in his glove where he could apply the necessary saliva. Jimmy learned that he could produce more saliva by chewing a substance known as slippery elm. Some teams got wise to Jimmy and put a substance known as acacia on the baseballs, which was intended to make the balls less susceptible to spittle. Not to be outdone, Jimmy developed a paraffin ball by secretly applying the substance to his gray uniform and then the baseball. Jimmy would fake the spitball and throw the paraffin ball, which tended to sail rather than drop. Jimmy credited the spitball for his longevity. He noted that he threw the spitball about every three pitches and never had a sore arm. When Jimmy wasn’t pitching for General Tire, he picked up with other teams across Ohio and Pennsylvania getting paid as much as $100.00 a game to pitch.
Jimmy was inducted to the Summit County, Ohio Sports Hall of Fame in 1963. After retiring, Jimmy and Joe Lee moved to Fort Pierce, Florida where Jimmy died in 1966 at the age of 74. If you would like to read more about Jimmy including seeing many photographs, you can access old copies of the Akron Beacon Journal on newspapers.com. I hope that you have enjoyed reading about this forgotten Dodge County baseball player. Next week, I intend to write about Dodge’s first college football star. I doubt you have heard of him either, but you will certainly recognize the surname.

Dear editor,
Each day in Georgia, physicians, nurses and other health care providers go to work in our hospitals, nursing centers or private office practices to care for patients with a variety of health needs. This practice of medicine occurs 24 hours per day, seven days per week, and 365 days per year; because illnesses and injuries don’t take a holiday. Without thinking twice, patients visit emergency departments and provider practices to seek care, and that need is met by the dedicated individuals who serve our communities as front-line heroes to ensure your health and safety.
During this global pandemic of novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, these health care providers, hospitals, and nursing centers are still open and providing the same compassionate care as always, but this public health emergency is different. This new virus has spread rapidly across the world, and the general public and health care workers are placed in harm’s way each time a person chooses to attend large gatherings, visit elderly family members, or widen their circle of personal interaction with friends, family and neighbors. These practices lead to increased exposure and viral spread, which places an additional burden on our increasingly strained health care system.
It is up to Georgia’s citizens to accept personal responsibility and adhere to best practices during this outbreak such as staying home, avoiding large groups and limiting interactions with friends and family to those that do not involve close personal contact. As our hospitals and providers fight to maintain control over COVID-19, increased patient volumes and added exposure to health care staff will threaten the foundation of our health care system. We must all make the personal choice to protect our nurses, physicians, hospitals, and nursing centers by taking steps to ensure that the next COVID-19 patient isn’t one of us.
Health care providers are bravely assuming great personal risk each day as they care for the sick. Hospitals are making room and accommodating growing numbers of patients as they continue to maintain a safe haven for the public. Georgia’s citizens can do their part by following the advice of Governor Kemp and DPH Commissioner Dr. Toomey including avoiding large crowds and staying at home whenever possible. Personal responsibility also includes holding your friends, family and neighbors accountable to these same standards as we all fight to stop the spread of COVID-19 together. Help protect your health care professionals, hospitals, and nursing centers by making the personal choice to socially distance in order to reduce or eliminate potential exposure to COVID-19 for yourself and those you are closest to. The health care community thanks you for being personally responsible and doing your part to end this COVID-19 Public Health Emergency; these choices, whatever they may be, will have a far-reaching effect. Let’s all work together to protect Georgia’s health care providers and hospitals while they protect us.
