Find The Latest In Robotic Surgery In Houston County.<br />
Robotic surgery provides a surgeon with a natural extension of<br />
their eyes and hands to provide a less invasive option for a patient’s<br />
surgical needs.<br />
For the patient, less-invasive means: smaller incisions,<br />
less scarring, decreased blood loss, lowered<br />
infection risks, shorter hospital stays due<br />
to reduced recovery time, and quicker<br />
returns to normal life.<br />
Houston Healthcare offers robotic surgical options in:<br />
Bariatric, Cholecystectomy, Colectomy, Gynecological & Hernia Repair<br />

Centerville Fire<br />
Department<br />
Travis Buchanan<br />
By: Brieanna Romero<br />
HHJ Staff Writer<br />
When faced with a major life decision, some people will<br />
look for a divine sign on what to do. But for Travis Buchanan,<br />
his career choice was based on a literal sign. He saw signs<br />
advertising job openings for the Centerville Fire Department<br />
and decided to take the plunge.<br />
He has been working for the fire department for almost<br />
two years. When he is not working, he enjoys fishing and<br />
spending time with his girlfriend, his family and his dog.<br />
On the job, he wants to be the best version of himself and<br />
wants to take that energy and use it to help the community.<br />
When he comes to work, the experience is still surreal.<br />
“To this day, I come in every shift, I see my gear, I put it out<br />
for my shift to begin and I take that breath in because it’s still<br />
disbelief to me that I’m here — that I made it here after all the<br />
work it took to get here,” Buchanan said.<br />
The work has not been easy. He has both firefighting<br />
and medical training, and then he went through hazardous<br />
material training, obstacle courses and physical training. He<br />
turned his training into a friendly bet with his family, and it<br />
pushed him to complete it.<br />
His family is the reason he has a heart for community<br />
service. After his grandfather got sick, he knew it was where<br />
he was meant to be.<br />
As a firefighter, he is on the front lines whenever a fire,<br />
medical emergency call, or hazardous material call breaks out.<br />
When he is not fighting fires, he is back at the station prepping<br />
for the next call, taking care of station and truck maintenance<br />
and socializing with his coworkers.<br />
His greatest achievement, he says, is the job as a whole<br />
and making it this far in the fire department.<br />
“I’ve learned a lot from the guys, a lot from everybody, on<br />
a personal level as well as an ‘at-work’ level, so I take all the<br />
experiences into one,” Buchanan said.<br />
He says communicating with and helping the<br />
community is his favorite part of being a firefighter,<br />
helping them out through their tough times. He extends<br />
that communication to his coworkers, citing his work<br />
family’s dynamic as another enjoyable part of the job. Since<br />
his coworkers have mentored him in the past, he wants to<br />
pay it forward to other firefighters at the station, with the<br />
ambition to take on more of a supervisory role at the fire<br />
department.<br />
“I’m hoping that one day I can pass on the knowledge<br />
that I’ve learned to other people and help them out the way<br />
that they have helped me out,” he said.<br />

Centerville Police<br />
Department<br />
Terry Wright<br />
By: Brieanna Romero<br />
HHJ Staff Writer<br />
Police officers get to work with a variety of people,<br />
and Animal Control is no exception — with the bonus<br />
of working with four-legged friends. Centerville Police<br />
Department’s recommendation for <strong>Everyday</strong> <strong>Heroes</strong> was<br />
the “Wright” choice, nominating Animal Control Officer<br />
Terry Wright.<br />
The youngest of 13 children, Wright was raised in<br />
Warner Robins and graduated from Northside High School.<br />
He has one child of his own, a 33-year-old daughter. When<br />
he is not working at the Centerville Police Department, he<br />
is working on his side business. He owns a pressure washing<br />
company and has been in that role for over 29 years.<br />
Wright started working<br />
for Centerville PD in 1993<br />
as an animal control officer<br />
and has stayed there ever<br />
since. He is also on the<br />
school crossing team for<br />
Centerville Elementary<br />
School, making sure kids<br />
reach home safely. He<br />
described his job as “a little<br />
bit of everything.”<br />
As an award-winning<br />
animal control officer, his<br />
main priority is safety,<br />
making sure rescue animals are safely transported to the<br />
appropriate shelter, with the eventual goal of reuniting them<br />
with their owners or finding them a forever home if they do<br />
not have one.<br />
He cites this as his main motivation for working with<br />
Animal Control and says helping the community is his favorite<br />
part of the job.<br />
“I enjoy re-homing an animal and getting it back safely<br />
to its owner and showing up to work being able to serve and<br />
protect here in Centerville,” Wright said.<br />
He sees heartbreaking situations while on the job but<br />
knows deep down the animals he helps would find a better<br />
place.<br />
“Sometimes you’ll find people that have all these animals,<br />
knowing well that they couldn’t take care of them in the<br />
beginning, and then they seek help for someone to come in<br />
and rescue them,” Wright said. “That’s why it’s good to have<br />
rescues out there to find homes for.”<br />
For Wright, knowing that he can reunite animals<br />
with owners that treat their pets with care makes it all<br />
worthwhile.<br />
“Knowing that there is going to be someone out there<br />
that cares about the animals and making sure that they’re<br />
safe, and out of the hands of harm’s way: someone having<br />
a pet that doesn’t deserve it,” he said. “It needs to be in the<br />
hands of someone who cares about them.”<br />

Flint Energies<br />
Shane Malcom<br />
By: Will Oliver<br />
HHJ Managing Editor<br />
Shane Malcom of Flint Energies, a Warner Robins native<br />
now living in Byron, began his journey in electric work when a<br />
friend at Pike Electric asked if he needed a job.<br />
After working with Pike for 10 years and traveling to 14<br />
different states, Malcom said the constant traveling caused<br />
to him to request working closer to home in Houston County<br />
with Flint.<br />
“I’m a crew leader,” Malcom said. “When I started here, I<br />
was what you call a floater — it’s like a journeyman — and<br />
they just call it ‘the floater’ because he just floats around and<br />
fills in.”<br />
Some of his crew leader duties include overseeing a fourperson<br />
crew, and it can sometimes involve more people and<br />
sometimes less. He and his crew are “on call” to handle the<br />
aftermath of situations like the recent storms.<br />
“Over there on [State Route] 247, that tornado that hit<br />
right there and tore<br />
those transmission<br />
structures down —<br />
it tore up a bunch<br />
of our poles, too,”<br />
he said. “We were<br />
quite busy that<br />
week, but we’re<br />
on call all the<br />
time. So any time<br />
there’s a storm — it<br />
doesn’t have to be<br />
a tornado; it could<br />
be a thunderstorm,<br />
and it’s always<br />
tearing something<br />
up — somebody’s<br />
always on call to go out and get the power back on.”<br />
He said the industry he works in is continuously evolving,<br />
and teaching new crew members is one of his favorite parts of<br />
his job. He also loves coming to work day after day.<br />
“It’s changed; it’s evolved over the years,” Malcom said.<br />
“It’s been 27 years since I’ve been in this type of work, and<br />
it’s changed — and I just turned 50 in March — so now, since<br />
I’m a crew leader, it’s more of when the guys come and crosstrain<br />
and training them up and watching them learn the job<br />
and grow as a lineman — more of the teaching side of it I<br />
guess you’d say, instead of the learning now that I’m older.”<br />
A healthy path to retirement at some point is one of his<br />
main aspirations. His greatest achievement is his family, he<br />
said.<br />
He also laughed while sharing a couple of interesting<br />
stories.<br />
“We were at work at a luncheon, and a coworker started<br />
choking,” he said. “So, I’ve never done anything like this<br />
before, but I started doing the Heimlich maneuver on him.<br />
“Anyways, it worked out. I don’t know why I did that,<br />
but for some reason, I don’t know if it’s just this type of<br />
work or the type of person I am, but I was just trying to be<br />
helpful. I was sitting beside him, so that might have helped,<br />
too.”<br />
Malcom has been married to his wife, Susan, for almost<br />
18 years. Together, they have two boys: Brantly and Briggs. He<br />
also has a stepson, Hunter, who is 27 years old.<br />

911 Center<br />
Laureen Atanacio<br />
By: Brieanna Romero<br />
HHJ Staff Writer<br />
The voice you hear on the line when you call 911 for help<br />
is normally cool, calm and collected. But when that voice is not<br />
on the phone, it just may be singing. That would be the case at<br />
least for Laureen Atanacio.<br />
Before living here, she lived on the other side of the<br />
country in Hawaii, moving stateside in 1999. She started<br />
working at Houston County 911 in 2014 as a call taker and then<br />
moved on to working as a dispatcher.<br />
Dispatchers take the call, input details into a dispatching<br />
system and then send the appropriate help to wherever it is<br />
needed.<br />
Atanacio had always worked in a role geared towards<br />
community service. Before becoming a call taker, she worked<br />
with the school system.<br />
She has two children and two grandchildren. When her<br />
youngest daughter graduated, Atanacio decided it was time<br />
for something new and more permanent, motivating her to<br />
apply for the 911 office.<br />
In addition to the <strong>Everyday</strong> <strong>Heroes</strong> nomination, she also<br />
won the award for 2021’s 911 Communications Officer of the<br />
Year. To her, knowing that she is helping others and answering<br />
the need of the community is the greatest achievement she can<br />
ask for — and she does it with a smile on her face.<br />
“A lot of people go through their life always wanting to know<br />
if you’ve made a difference in the world around you and your<br />
community, and I can answer that: emphatically yes,” she said.<br />
Recently, she took on the effort of dispatching fire crews<br />
after the thunderstorms that blew through Middle Georgia on<br />
April 5, and her coworker said she handled the influx of phone<br />
calls like a pro.<br />
“She is one of the reasons why we have such great people<br />
here; she does her best here,” Lieutenant Veronica Edens, an<br />
operations coordinator with Houston County 911 said about<br />
Atanacio.<br />
Atanacio feels the same way about her coworkers — like<br />
they can depend on each other. Described as “the mom of<br />
the family,” she hopes to be someone that her coworkers can<br />
count on.<br />
“I could not do this job without the people that I work<br />
with,” she said.<br />
If she is not on the phone or helping bring the team<br />
together, she is most likely singing.<br />
What’s her go-to karaoke song?<br />
“It really depends,” she said, “My brain is constantly on<br />
‘scan.’ It could be anything from a Disney song, to a country<br />
song, a pop song, a rock song, a jingle from a radio ad or a<br />
TV ad.”<br />

GEORGIA STATE PATROL<br />
Jazzaman Burgess<br />
By: Ashton A. Akins<br />
HHJ Staff Writer<br />
TFC Jazzaman Burgess is a state trooper with the<br />
Georgia State Patrol (GSP) Post 15 in Perry. His love for law<br />
enforcement came from his hometown of Myrtle Beach,<br />
South Carolina.<br />
“I come from a family of law enforcement and state<br />
troopers,” Burgess said. “Early on, I was fortunate to work with<br />
various law enforcement agencies from small city agencies to<br />
the U.S. Marshals. I love what I do.”<br />
After graduating from Johnsonville High School, Burgess<br />
attended one of the most prestigious universities in America.<br />
Studying criminal justice, he received his bachelor’s degree<br />
from the illustrious Fort Valley State University. As a fall 2016<br />
graduate from the local HBCU, Burgess began working at the<br />
Houston County Detention Center.<br />
“Touching someone creating an impact is my greatest<br />
achievement,” Burgess said.<br />
Not dwelling on personal accolades, TFC Jazzaman<br />
Burgess was a recipient of the M.A.A.D. award. The M.A.A.D<br />
(Mothers Against Drunk Driving) award is awarded by the<br />
Governors’ Office of Highway Safety, given to qualified state<br />
officers who have<br />
made DUI arrests in<br />
the past calendar<br />
year.<br />
Alongside being<br />
a dedicated trooper<br />
of the Peach State,<br />
Burgess has strong<br />
faith and enjoys<br />
attending church.<br />
“I am churchgoing,<br />
and my faith<br />
motivates me,’ he<br />
said. “Also, a memory<br />
from my childhood<br />
keeps me going, as<br />
well.<br />
“As a child, my<br />
mother picked up someone from the side of the road. She<br />
made this person a part of our family, watching them grow.<br />
This memory reminds me of my purpose.”<br />
After his employment at the Houston County Detention<br />
Center, Burgess became a trooper for the beloved Georgia<br />
State Patrol in 2018. Now four years later, TFC Burgess has<br />
become a vocal figure and great leader.<br />
“TFC Burgess is a leader among his peers at Perry Post 15,”<br />
says his supervisor SFC Derrick L. Lumsden #512. “He takes<br />
great pride in his work and makes a positive difference in the<br />
communities he serves. TFC Burgess understands he has an<br />
important job to accomplish and puts forth 100% effort every<br />
time he puts on the uniform and patrols the highways of this<br />
state.”<br />
Burgess gives back to his alma mater, Fort Valley State, by<br />
speaking to the students and those of the university community.<br />
TFC Jazzaman Burgess left the following quote to those who<br />
are aspiring students: “I try to inspire and give back where I<br />
can. We are all seeds, and all seeds need nutrients, water and<br />
sunlight to grow.”<br />

Houston County<br />
Fire Department<br />
Firefighter Cody Parker<br />
By: Tyler Meister<br />
HHJ Staff Writer<br />
Firefighter Cody Parker has been working with the<br />
Houston County Fire Department for five years. He describes it<br />
as “the best job in the world.”<br />
Parker is from Peach County. When he is not fighting fires<br />
or saving lives, he prefers to be hunting, fishing, watching<br />
college football or baseball.<br />
But proof of Parker’s work, his love for the job, shows in his<br />
commitment. In his eight years as a fireman, Parker has already<br />
completed several trainings and certifications, from his most<br />
baseline classes to Hazmat Tech training.<br />
He picks up extra shifts and even works to help train<br />
others when possible. His achievements were made tangible<br />
when he received the Firefighter of the Year award.<br />
Parker did not speak much of himself or his own<br />
achievements. Instead, on multiple occasions, Parker said<br />
that he loves what he does. He was almost destined to do it.<br />
12 <strong>Everyday</strong> <strong>Heroes</strong> Houston County, <strong>2022</strong><br />
Having a father that worked<br />
in the Peach County Fire<br />
Department, Parker has<br />
been wanting to fight fires<br />
since he was a child — this<br />
job is a dream realized.<br />
“My dad was a firemen,<br />
I looked up to him growing<br />
up,” Parker said. “I thought<br />
it was a really cool job, so<br />
I got into it. I like going<br />
out and trying to make a<br />
difference every day. We<br />
help the people we can, we<br />
do something meaningful,<br />
meet new people and try to help however we can.”<br />
Houston County Fire Chief Chris Stoner spoke highly of<br />
Parker and his work.<br />
“Parker is an asset to the department and the community,”<br />
Stoner said. “He works well with all of his cohorts, generally<br />
places himself last and looks out for everybody else first. He’s<br />
come a very long way with his training and knowledge, and<br />
strives to give that to others as well, to help motivate and<br />
improve the fire service in general for Houston County.”<br />

A legacy in<br />
law enforcement:<br />
The Holland<br />
Family<br />
By: Brieanna Romero, Tyler Meister, and Will Oliver<br />
Captain Jon Holland is revered in the Houston County<br />
Sheriff’s Office for having an exceptional memory. He can recall<br />
tag numbers from weeks ago and specific facts on 30-yearold<br />
cases, but the impact he and his family have made on the<br />
community is truly unforgettable.<br />
A lifelong resident of Houston County, Jon graduated from<br />
Warner Robins High School in 1981, received his associate’s<br />
degree in wildlife technology in 1983 and received his bachelor’s<br />
degree in criminal justice from Fort Valley State University in 1990.<br />
He always knew he would end up working in law enforcement.<br />
He had always had a huge interest and respect for them in his<br />
youth and seeing their work in the community impressed him.<br />
Jon followed in the footsteps of his grandfather who worked<br />
at the Bibb County<br />
Sheriff’s Office around<br />
the late 1920’s. Jon’s<br />
father also had a career<br />
in law enforcement,<br />
working as a bailiff for<br />
the Houston County<br />
State Court from 1990 to<br />
2008.<br />
Jon started his law<br />
enforcement career in<br />
March of 1984, working<br />
with the Houston County<br />
Sheriff’s Office from the<br />
beginning. He started<br />
work as a patrol deputy.<br />
In 1986, he<br />
worked for the<br />
Georgia Department<br />
of Corrections in their<br />
Probation Division, and then came back five years later to the<br />
sheriff’s office as a sergeant in the Criminal Investigations Division.<br />
From there, he worked his way up the ranks, becoming a lieutenant,<br />
and then captain and chief investigator.<br />
He enjoys helping people, both as a supervisor for the<br />
division, as well as in the community. He recalled one incident<br />
25 years ago where he comforted a man who climbed the water<br />
tower behind Galleria Mall.<br />
“He only wanted to talk to me,” Jon said. “As I arrived on scene,<br />
I quickly determined that I would not be climbing up there with<br />
him. I was able to eventually talk him into climbing down on his<br />
14 <strong>Everyday</strong> <strong>Heroes</strong> Houston County, <strong>2022</strong><br />
Jon Holland in 1984<br />
Madison, Jon & Logan Holland<br />
own. I was grateful for that because I am not a fan of high places.”<br />
His greatest achievement is his family. Jon has been happily<br />
married to his wife, Cathy, for 38 years and raised two sons: Logan<br />
and Madison.<br />
He said his favorite part of the job is helping others and<br />
facing different challenges every day. He also enjoys passing<br />
on his experience to a younger generation of investigators and<br />
deputies, including his two sons.<br />
Logan Holland is the oldest son in this family of law<br />
enforcement.<br />
Logan grew up in<br />
Houston County, and<br />
graduated from Warner<br />
Robins High School in<br />
2005 — then graduated<br />
from Macon State College<br />
in 2008 with a bachelor’s<br />
degree in public service.<br />
Logan and his wife have<br />
been married for nearly<br />
13 years, and they have a<br />
13-year-old son.<br />
Logan began<br />
his career in law<br />
enforcement in<br />
September of 2008 with<br />
the Houston County<br />
Sheriff’s Office. 14 years<br />
later, he now works<br />
as a GBI Agent for the office in Perry and is working towards<br />
becoming a criminal profiler.<br />
Logan said that he has known he wanted to be in law<br />
enforcement since his late-teen years and has had the opportunity<br />
to work closely with his brother on a number of occasions, also<br />
working in tandem with his father.<br />
“My brother and I have had successful careers in law<br />
enforcement, and I think a lot of that comes from seeing our dad<br />
and how he has built his career,” Logan said. “With the GBI, we<br />
interact with local agencies throughout the state, other state<br />
officers or federal agents.
Jon Holland’s Grandpa<br />
Logan & Madison<br />
Logan, Madison & Jon<br />
“My dad is pretty well known throughout the state in law<br />
enforcement, so he definitely paved the way for us. It’s nice to carry<br />
that into the future and hopefully continue to make an impact.”<br />
And although Logan does recognize the work of his father,<br />
his reasons for service are his own.<br />
“I think there’s different reasons, and everyone has their<br />
own,” Logan said. “Specifically, I like working death investigations.<br />
When you’re working a death case, you have to be the voice of<br />
that victim because they can’t speak for themselves anymore.<br />
“Being able to give answers to a family and trying to help<br />
them through that grieving process is definitely rewarding. I<br />
enjoy my job. I enjoy the relationships I’ve built throughout the<br />
state with different law enforcement officers and different folks<br />
I’ve met working my cases.”<br />
Finally, although he no longer serves in the field of law<br />
enforcement, Logan’s brother Madison is part of this family<br />
tradition, as well.<br />
Madison was born and raised in Warner Robins and attended<br />
Houston County schools. After graduating from Warner Robins<br />
High School in 2007, he went to study history at Georgia Southern<br />
University.<br />
“So I went to Georgia Southern to get my bachelor’s in history<br />
with the goal of becoming a teacher — and really at that time,<br />
what I really wanted to do was blaze my own trail,” Madison said.<br />
“At that time, my brother and my dad were both working at the<br />
sheriff’s office, so at that phase of my life, I just wanted to do<br />
something different.”<br />
The post-graduation job market was slim, and after a few<br />
interviews and no offers from some of the local schools, Madison<br />
decided to pursue employment with the sheriff’s office himself.<br />
He began work at the Detention Center in 2011.<br />
The initial work at the Detention Center offered an<br />
opportunity for a flexible schedule and some extra time to delve<br />
into a side project.<br />
“For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had a desire or a<br />
goal to be in business,” he explained. “Now, that got derailed a<br />
little bit because although my original intention wasn’t to get into<br />
law enforcement, I ended up liking it; even working at the jail — it<br />
was something I enjoyed doing.<br />
“My schedule at the time, I was on shift work; so I would work 12<br />
hours for a few days, and then I would have a few days off, so [I would<br />
have] more time to do something else on the side if I wanted to.”<br />
He and his wife, Jennifer, had just bought a house a few<br />
months prior, and Madison had a good experience with the<br />
realtor that closed the deal for them. From there, he got to work<br />
studying the craft in hopes of working at her organization.<br />
“At that time, I registered for an online class — that really is<br />
what fit my schedule best — and I was working night shift at the<br />
time at the Detention Center with the sheriff’s office,” he said. “So,<br />
at night when things were quiet and everybody was asleep, I would<br />
use that time to study for my real estate [license]. And then I would<br />
get off in the morning, and I would go home and do some of my<br />
online testing until I was able to finish the course.”<br />
He eventually went on to work as a special agent at the Perry<br />
field office with the Georgia Bureau of Investigations.<br />
“I worked at the Detention Center for a few years, then got<br />
mandated and worked in Patrol for a few years before I left the<br />
Sheriff’s Office and went to the Georgia Bureau of Investigations<br />
[GBI] in 2016,” Madison said.<br />
At one point, his brother, Logan, interned with the GBI and<br />
ended up leaving the sheriff’s office and going to work with them<br />
a few years before Madison made the switch in agencies. They<br />
shared office space and their desks were located near each other<br />
there at the field office.<br />
“Immediately, we worked closely together, which was great,”<br />
he added. “It wasn’t something that was completely new to us<br />
because we worked at the sheriff’s office together and grew up<br />
around the dinner table listening to stories.”<br />
Madison said the communication skills that transferred from<br />
his law enforcement experience into his real estate business these<br />
days is something he is thankful for since it can offer a better<br />
experience for his clients.<br />
In his position as owner and broker with Landmark Realty<br />
in Perry, he has assisted first responders and law enforcement<br />
officers countywide in their efforts of buying or selling a home.<br />
Their shared experiences and understanding make for a common<br />
bond during the buying or selling process, he explained.<br />
Madison said he finds himself hunting and golfing a good bit<br />
on his off days, along with spending time with Jennifer and their<br />
son, Hank. The Hollands also have another boy on the way, as well.<br />

Moulton with former<br />
First Lady Sandra Deal and<br />
Sheriff Talton (2016)<br />
Sergeant Matthew Moulton has known since he was a<br />
child that he wanted to work in law enforcement. He grew up<br />
around well-known officers such as former Bibb County Sheriff<br />
Jerry Modena, retired Officer Harry Colbert and DEA Taskforce<br />
Officer Jimmy Swift. His profession of choice was solidified<br />
when he went on a ride-along in high school with Officer<br />
Richard Crooms.<br />
After graduating high school, Moulton continued his<br />
education at the College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout,<br />
Missouri. While attending school there, he worked with the<br />
campus police.<br />
Moulton moved back home in 1999 and took a job<br />
with the Warner Robins Police Department, working<br />
closely with current Perry Police Chief Steve Lynn and the<br />
current Warner Robins Police Chief John Wagner; the two<br />
inspired Moulton to pursue his master’s degree in public<br />
administration.<br />
After spending several years with WRPD, Moulton moved<br />
on to the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in Forsyth<br />
and taught a Basic Mandate Course.<br />
It was there that he was given the opportunity to work<br />
with the Houston County Sheriff’s Department, under the<br />
leadership of Sheriff Cullen Talton and Chief Billy Rape,<br />
where he works today. Moulton has been in the field of law<br />
enforcement for 27 years, and today, works as a narcotics<br />
investigator.<br />
Aside from his career, Moulton has been married for<br />
19 years, and he and his wife, Catherine, have a 13-year-old<br />
daughter. Moulton describes his family as his rock.<br />
A running theme, as Moulton tells his story, is his reference<br />
to other officers, the superiors and peers who influenced him<br />
or guided him to grow.<br />
“The people that I have learned from throughout my<br />
entire career have put me where I’m at,” Moulton said.<br />
From the time he started at the College of the Ozarks<br />
to now, working with Sheriff Talton, Chief Rape and Captain<br />
John Holland, he has learned valuable lessons at each<br />
juncture he could.<br />
“Throughout my career, I’ve always gone back to one<br />
Bible verse,” Moulton said. “Luke 12:48 says ‘to whom much<br />
is given, much is required.’ Looking at the opportunities I’ve<br />
been given and the resources I’ve been given to do my job, a<br />
lot is expected of me. I strive every day not to disappoint the<br />
Sheriff and Chief Rape.”<br />

Jordan Clements<br />
By: Brieanna Romero<br />
HHJ Staff Writer<br />
When the sun rises, many of us will wake up, grab a cup of<br />
coffee, take in the morning news and make the commute to work.<br />
For Jordan Clements, however, he might be headed home after a<br />
12-hour overnight shift.<br />
As an emergency medical tech, Clements is no stranger to<br />
some strange working hours, but his passion for helping others<br />
makes it all worthwhile. March 1, <strong>2022</strong>, marked the first year that<br />
Clements has been on the team, and he says that making it this far<br />
is an achievement in and of itself.<br />
He admits that it is hard to explain<br />
exactly what he does because every day<br />
is a little bit different, but to put it into<br />
simplest terms, he and a supervising<br />
technician work on a variety of tasks<br />
related to the upkeep of emergency<br />
vehicles and assisting patients that may<br />
need a ride to Houston Medical Center<br />
when the time comes.<br />
He is very connected to the<br />
hospital. Clements was born there,<br />
grew up across the street and went to<br />
school at Northside High School. After<br />
high school, he joined the Army and<br />
was stationed in Hawaii. He also spent<br />
15 months serving in Iraq and 1 year in<br />
Afghanistan.<br />
Before he was a technician, he<br />
worked a desk job but was miserable.<br />
“It wasn’t for me,” he admitted. “But<br />
I did it anyways because I had a family<br />
to support.”<br />
He and his wife have four children<br />
together. May of this year marks his 13th<br />
anniversary. His wife is also connected<br />
to the medical field.<br />
After she went through nursing<br />
school, she asked him if he would like to<br />
go back to school, knowing that he was<br />

not where he wanted to be. He recalled the tables turning as a bit<br />
strange.<br />
“For the past ten years I had been the one working,” he said.<br />
He wanted to study something fast-paced, and he knew he<br />
could work well under pressure, so that led to his career as an EMT.<br />
Clements is studying to be a paramedic, and while on the job, he<br />
is learning something new every day.<br />
“This job is consistently learning; it’s always upgrading,”<br />
Clements said. “You don’t get your education from school and<br />
then just stop there. You have to continuously study and research.”<br />
Why did he choose an EMT career? For Clements, it boils<br />
down to helping the community.<br />
“I love helping people,” he said. “I like feeling like I’m making<br />
a difference.”<br />

Houston Healthcare<br />
Respiratory Unit<br />
Stephen Horne<br />
By: Will Oliver<br />
HHJ Managing Editor<br />
Registered Respiratory Therapist Stephen Horne of<br />
Houston Healthcare said his unit works with all sorts of<br />
patients “from to the womb to the tomb.”<br />
“Basically, we take care of patients sometimes right<br />
from the moment they’re born — like I just had [to] — all<br />
the way up to the moment they can pass,” Horne said. “We<br />
take care of all patients broad, any age and really any kind<br />
of respiratory disorders — and sometimes they’re not even<br />
respiratory, but we still have a role in what we do with these<br />
patients.”<br />
Maintaining the well being of his patients is what drives<br />
him to come to work and continue pushing for success.<br />
“Honestly, I love the patient care aspect — I really do,”<br />
Horne said. “I like getting to know my patients and doing<br />
what’s best to see them actually leave the hospital and be with<br />
their family and other aspects. To me, that’s the greatest part<br />
of the role, is taking care of the patient and doing what’s best<br />
for them and being that patient advocate.”<br />
There are many different facets to his department’s<br />
work, but Horne highlighted a couple of his favorites.<br />
“Procedure wise, I love to intubate, I love to put in<br />
A-lines — but honestly, just doing what’s right for the<br />
patient and preventing them from having to do things like<br />
go on the ventilator and being intubated,” Horne said. “But<br />
just knowing you’re doing what’s right for the patient and<br />
doing what’s right for the patient’s family. Taking care of<br />
them is what we’re here for, so that’s what brings me the<br />
greatest joy honestly.”<br />
For Horne, his position is all about serving the public.<br />
“Personally, I feel like I have that ‘servant’s heart’,” he said.<br />
“I really just get [the] satisfaction of doing my job and seeing<br />
the patient do well with it — and like I said — being able to<br />
go home and live their lives and do more with their families.”<br />
His managements and peers recommended his promotion<br />
to a supervisor position within the department. He said this is<br />
among his favorite achievements in his time at the hospital<br />
so far.<br />
“Right now, it’s when I became a supervisor,” Horne<br />
said. “I haven’t been in the field terribly long; I have only<br />
seven years experience, so it’s like getting to that pinnacle,<br />
to me, is an achievement.”<br />
He has experience caring for patients from gunshot<br />
victims to babies. He added resuscitating a baby can be<br />
stressful but among the most worthwhile feelings he<br />
experiences on the job.<br />
He graduated with his associate’s and bachelor’s<br />
degrees in respiratory therapy from Macon State College.<br />
Horne said he has lived in this area for almost seven<br />
years with his wife, Kodie. They have two boys: Joseph and<br />
Caleb.<br />

Perry Fire Department<br />
Drew Rowell<br />
By: WILL OLIVER<br />
HHJ Managing Editor<br />
For Perry Fire Sergeant Drew Rowell, every aspect of<br />
completing the job and taking care of Perry residents are his<br />
favorite parts of his position at the fire department. Bringing<br />
his comrades home safe after every call is one of his goals.<br />
“[My favorite part is] doing our duty — I guess you could<br />
say — doing the profession; I like doing that,” Rowell said. “[I<br />
like] taking care of the little things that are here because we’re<br />
not always running calls, but we have an apparatus to maintain<br />
and a station to upkeep. We’ve got the citizens to care for.”<br />
He said that it is an honor to serve his country at the city,<br />
state and national level.<br />
“I feel like I was called to serve,” he added. “Not only do I<br />
do this, but I’m in the Georgia Air National Guard through the<br />
Air Force. [I want to] put others first before I put myself first.”<br />
For Rowell, the greatest achievements he has attained in<br />
his work with the department do not necessarily involve the<br />
titles that come along with them.<br />
“I guess my greatest achievement would be this past<br />
month, getting the promotion to sergeant and being voted<br />
on by my peers as Firefighter of the Year,” he said. “Also, in<br />
2016, I was voted Rookie of the Year, which is pretty neat, too.<br />
Those accolades, they mean a lot, but hanging out here with<br />
the guys and having that camaraderie, the brotherhood and<br />
everything like that — it’s rewarding in itself.<br />
“When we go on a structure fire, or we go on an extrication<br />
or we go on those bad calls as one group and all of us work as one<br />
cohesive unit and get the job done, we’re all able to come back to<br />
the station, talk about it and debrief. The fact that we can all do<br />
that, and everything goes smoothly and we do it in a professional<br />
manner — that right there is the most gratifying it can get, for sure.”<br />
Rowell then spoke on some of the daily duties involved<br />
with his position.<br />
“As a sergeant, you drive and maintain the apparatus that<br />
you were assigned to for the day,” he said. “You’re the driver<br />
and the operator, so you’ll operate the pump as needed for<br />
fires — so you’re in charge of the apparatus and the people<br />
that are behind you.”<br />
No matter your role or rank within the department,<br />
everyone must continue to learn new skills to help the<br />
department excel as a unit, he explained.<br />
“If you don’t learn something new every shift, you’re<br />
doing something wrong,” Rowell said. “I take it day by day.<br />
Going through the ranks is a goal, of course. Taking classes<br />
[and] furthering my knowledge on the job and other things<br />
about the department and city itself — it’s enjoyable.”<br />
Rowell is a native of Perry, attending and graduating<br />
from Perry High School. He finished his associate’s degree<br />
at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and obtained his<br />
bachelor’s degree in business from Columbia Southern<br />
University.<br />
He also holds an advanced EMT license and has served<br />
in the Georgia Air National Guard for over 3 years as a<br />
communication and navigation avionics specialist.<br />
Rowell and his wife, Kelsey, have a daughter named<br />
Blakelyn that was recently born on March 19.<br />

Perry Police Department<br />
Mike Hamsley<br />
By: WILL OLIVER<br />
HHJ Managing Editor<br />
Mike with his wife, Kelly<br />
Mike Hamsley — a recently retired member of the Perry<br />
Police Department following 43 years of service — was<br />
born at Dr. Gallemore’s office in Perry on August 13, 1957.<br />
Hamsley’s brother worked with the county sheriff’s<br />
office, and that steered Hamsley and his interest in the<br />
direction of a career in law enforcement. He graduated from<br />
Perry High School before attending the police academy on<br />
Eisenhower Parkway in Macon.<br />
“At that time, it was simply a six-week course for the<br />
basic law enforcement certification, but that was in March<br />
of ’79,” Hamsley said.<br />
He spent his entire law enforcement career with the<br />
department in Perry.<br />
“I started as a patrol officer, and I had almost six years<br />
on the road,” he explained. “Then I went into the inside, and<br />
at that time, there was no ‘911’; you dispatched from the<br />
police department. We had a jail. So that was the two of the<br />
three jobs that you did, what I call ‘on the inside.’”<br />
Eventually, a dispatch center took over the “911”<br />
portion of the duties, and the GBI brought on a state<br />
computer system that connected all the other statewide<br />
Mike at retirement party with Command Staff<br />
and nationwide departments. That system began seeing<br />
service around 1988.<br />
“Each department has to have what they call a ‘TAC’ —<br />
a Terminal Agency Coordinator — and Chief Simons, at that<br />
time, named me as a TAC,” Hamsley said. “I was a TAC up<br />
until the day that I retired; I really enjoyed it.”<br />
He added it was a privilege to work with some great<br />
people during his time with the Perry department.<br />
“That’s probably the main thing, when you can help<br />
people,” he explained. “You’re no different than they are;<br />
sometimes they make kind of bad decisions that you kind<br />
of have to deal with them on. But by and large, the people<br />
that you deal with are just honest, decent, hard-working<br />
people trying to make the day.”<br />
There is a place in Hamsley’s heart for animals, including<br />
the few he has staying at home with him. He and his wife<br />
have some rescue animals — two dogs and two cats — that<br />
keep them company.<br />
“I’ve always had a soft spot for the animals, these dogs<br />
and cats,” Hamsley said. “I’m a member of FOPAS [Friends<br />
of Perry Animal Shelter], which is here in town. I help those<br />
ladies, and I look forward to doing that.”<br />
In terms of retirement, he said camping — doing it<br />
locally, going up to High Falls or down to St. Simons — as<br />
well as fixing up around the house and yard are among the<br />
things he has planned. His wife also wants to take a trip to<br />
Laurel, Mississippi.<br />
But at the end of it all, spending time with his family is<br />
his top priority.<br />
“Well, I plan to take up just as much time as I can with<br />
my wife; we’ve been married for going on 42 years,” he<br />
said. “That’s my biggest priority: Her, my grandkids and my<br />
family.”<br />
His wife’s name is Kelly, and together, the Hamsleys<br />
have two children, Griffin and Kalla, along with two<br />
grandchildren, Hayes and Olivia. His daughter-inlaw,<br />
Allison, is the executive director of the Perry Area<br />
Convention and Visitors Bureau.<br />

Warner Robins<br />
Fire Department<br />
Michael Buckner<br />
By: Tyler Meister<br />
HHJ Staff Writer<br />
Michael Buckner was not always the captain of Warner Robins<br />
Fire Department’s Training Division. At one time, he worked at<br />
Mid State RV Center. It was not until a fellow employee of Mid<br />
State RV Center invited Buckner to a volunteer firefighter meeting<br />
that he would even consider joining the fire department.<br />
According to Buckner, the desire to fight fires was<br />
immediate. That was in 1999.<br />
Buckner reached the requirements necessary and would<br />
then work himself through the ranks. After working through 360<br />
hours of training to become one of the original certified Georgia<br />
Search and Rescue members, and then going on to spend 26<br />
days deployed to areas affected by Hurricane Katrina, Buckner<br />
decided that he could not work his regular job anymore — he<br />
had to be in the fire service.<br />
Buckner was hired by the Houston County Fire Department.<br />
Later, he took a job with the Warner Robins Fire Department.<br />
He has been working there since 2007 and has worked from<br />
firefighter to captain.<br />
In addition to his professional career, Buckner is celebrating<br />
his ninth year of marriage and has five children — three boys<br />
and two girls. Buckner was named Fire Officer of the Year in<br />
<strong>2022</strong>; however, he counts his family as his greatest achievement.<br />
Buckner said that the reason for his service has shifted over<br />
the years.<br />
“The first time I got involved in [the fire service] was because<br />
I wanted the action,” Buckner said. “When I became a volunteer,<br />
I loved the fact that you were doing that kind of stuff. The action<br />
was what I was seeking originally.<br />
“But as I got older, I got tired of seeing the destruction:<br />
people dying, losing their loved ones — it impacted me<br />
differently. The reason I serve now is so that I can give the people<br />
that I train the highest level of quality, so that when they get on<br />
a fire scene, they’re able to save that property, save those lives,<br />
make sure we minimize the damage, simply because the tools<br />
they’re getting from what we’re able to provide in the Training<br />
Division helps them achieve those goals faster and better.”<br />
Buckner plays a part in Warner Robins Fire Department’s<br />
training for their fire fighters, and ensures that they are<br />
equipped with the tools they need for the job.<br />
“It’s not about us,” Buckner said. “We preach safety on<br />
firefighters to keep everyone safe. But the reality of it is, we risk<br />
a lot to save a lot.”<br />

Police Department<br />
The Peer Team<br />
By: Tyler Meister<br />
HHJ Staff Writer<br />
Eric Hunley Matt Smith Trent VanLannen<br />
Pictured L-to-R: Trent VanLannen, Matt Smith & Eric Hunley<br />
First responders have difficult jobs. Because of the<br />
necessity of their jobs — because of what being a police<br />
officer, a fire fighter, an EMS worker involves — the things they<br />
have to see and do can be traumatic.<br />
Their jobs are not always as simple as saving the day;<br />
sometimes they have to witness unimaginable sights or make<br />
judgment calls that would leave anyone shaken afterwards.<br />
The goal of the Warner Robins Police Department Peer Team is<br />
to help officers deal with some of that trauma.<br />
WRPD’s Peer Team is a ten-person group of officers who,<br />
on top of their regular duties as patrol officers, investigators<br />
and the like, have been trained to recognize the signs of<br />
people struggling with trauma and are able to offer a lending<br />
hand. Speaking with Sergeant Matt Smith, Patrolman Eric<br />
Hunley, and Detective Trent VanLannen, they explained the<br />
importance of their work.<br />
“It’s for emotional well being and mental wellness,”<br />
VanLannen said. “We can be as physically fit, we can be as<br />
driven and direct, as good at our jobs as we could possibly be,<br />
but all of that takes a toll over time. You’ve got to be able to<br />
exercise your emotional well being as well as your physical<br />
well being; it’s equally as important.”<br />
According to information provided by the Peer Team, in<br />
<strong>2022</strong> alone there have been 50 law enforcement suicides —<br />
from 2020 to <strong>2022</strong>, there has been 485. In 2021, there were<br />
73 law enforcement officer deaths, and in <strong>2022</strong> thus far, there<br />
have been 95.<br />
“We’ve all worked without it, when it didn’t exist,” Hunley<br />
said. “That really helps us further understand how important<br />
this is. There was no system in place; there was no support.”<br />
After starting as a team of six in 2016, the team has<br />
expanded to a group of ten. They assist their fellow officers<br />
whenever necessary, even working with other local agencies<br />
when they are in need, as well. The team provides a listening<br />
ear and a structured format for people to talk about their<br />
struggles.<br />
“We here at WRPD truly embrace this concept of being<br />
there for each other,” Smith said. “Any agency around, if they<br />
ever need us, we’re there for them. We have a great team and<br />
support staff here that believe in what we do, and we’re more<br />
than willing to be there for other people or agencies that need<br />
us.”<br />
Warner Robins Police Chief John Wagner commended the<br />
peer team for its work.<br />
In addition to Smith, Hunley and VanLannen, there<br />
are seven other officers working on the Peer Team. They<br />
are: Officers Josh Wilcox, Chris Fussell, Greg Martin, Jason<br />
Lamberth, Chris Scaderi, Carter Gravitt and Chandralyn Jones.<br />
