This is a joint city/county plan, incorporating all of unincorporated Jackson County and its municipalities. The plan represents the county's participation in, and contribution to, the statewide planning process required by the Georgia Planning Act of 1989. The Jackson County Comprehensive Plan establishes a framework for planning for the provision of public facilities and services, choosing desirable economic growth, preserving the natural environment, protecting unique historic buildings or districts and scenic areas, and establishing compatible future land uses. Comprehensive plan updates must, at a minimum, occur every ten years. However, after five years, community leaders should determine if the comprehensive plan needs a major update or revision, based upon the degree of change in the community. If little has changed, a small revision is sufficient to address changes in the community. However, if major changes have occurred, such as shifts in population or in the economic base, a more thorough revision of the comprehensive plan should be initiated. This plan update represents a major revision to the 1992 Jackson County Comprehensive Plan. Because the previous plan was completed under now out-of-date planning standards, and Jackson County's significant population growth, 11 percent, since 1990, the Northeast Georgia Regional Development Center, in consultation with county staff, recommended a comprehensive plan update in lieu of simply the short-term work program update. 1.2 Accomplishments Since 1991 Plan Jackson County and its cities completed a number of initiatives, primarily infrastructure related, outlined in the 1992 Comprehensive Plan. However, much work remains in the county and initiatives called for in the 1997 plan updated should be implemented to insure resource protection. Completed activities from the 1992 plan include: ! development of a regional reservoir; ! development of long-range strategies to expand sewage treatment and collection systems; ! expansion of school facilities; ! construction of new facility for Solar-Tech; ! improvement of county roads; and ! expansion of governmental facilities. For a complete list of completed activities from the 1992 Short-term Work Program, see the Report of Accomplishments included in this document. 1.3 Planning Process The Jackson County Comprehensive Plan consists of a three-step planning process: Inventory and Assessment of existing conditions; Goals and Policies; and Implementation Strategy. The Inventory and Assessment addresses the seven planning elements using the basic planning process required by the Minimum Planning Standards and Procedures of the Georgia Planning Act. The Goals and Policies are based upon the inventory and assessment, and address existing and future needs and aspirations of the community. The Implementation Strategy is a five-year work program based on the community needs and goals. 1-1 Jackson County Comprehensive Plan 1.3.1 Inventory and Assessment The Inventory and Assessment lists the resources within Jackson County and its municipalities and addresses the following seven elements. The adequacy of the community's resource base is assessed based on identified needs through meetings with elected officials, county and city employees, and county residents. (A) Population: The population element provides historic population statistics as well as projections of future population trends in the county. This data is analyzed in increments from 1970 until 2015. Also included are data on the numbers of households, education levels, sex and race composition, and income of the population, as well as a comparison of Jackson County with the Northeast Georgia region and the state. (B) Economic Development: The economic development element examines various aspects of the Jackson County economy, including employment by industry, the labor force and an analysis of the economic base. (C) Natural Resources: The natural resources element includes the environmentally sensitive and ecologically significant areas that are unique to Jackson County. Included in the inventory are discussions of soil types, hydrology, topography, prime agricultural land and forest resources, plant and animal habitats, wildlife, parks and recreation areas, wetlands, watersheds, and the Mulberry, North Oconee, and Middle Oconee rivers and their tributaries. (D) Historic Resources: The historic resources section catalogs the historic sites and structures in Jackson County, including individual properties, historic areas, and archaeological sites. (E) Community Facilities: The community facilities section inventories existing public facilities and services that are important to the safety and well-being of Jackson County residents. This section addresses, in particular, law enforcement, fire protection, emergency medical services, infrastructure, solid waste management, governmental, recreational, educational and cultural facilities. (F) Housing: This element provides an inventory of the existing housing supply in Jackson County, and includes an assessment of the quantity, quality, cost and age of housing, as well as projected demand for the various categories of housing units. (G) Existing Land Use: The land use element of the plan surveys existing land uses at the tax parcel level. Categories of land use include

The following examples are sad but true tales of the journey through experimentation and torture. Ms. Eufame MacAlyane of Castle Hill Edinburg who, in 1591, was burned alive by order of the ruler of Scotland, King James I, who was an early opponent of “pain free labor”. Her “unforgivable offense” was to seek pain relief during labor [1]. Mrs. Kae Seishu volunteered as the brave first human subject to test “Tsusensan”, an oral anesthetic mixture formulated by her husband Dr. Seishu Hanaoka. The product met great success but she became permanently blind, presumably from repeated experimentation [2]. Their husbands’ agony and anguish is unimaginable! As such, it was a personalized, immeasurable, and unsharable experience. Apropos is a quote from an Urdu poet! Unknown remained their beloveds’ graves, Their nameless, traceless sanctuary.

  • History of Anesthesia
    Published on Explorable.com (https://explorable.com) Home > History of Anesthesia History of Anesthesia Explorable.com57K reads The history of anesthesia has a painful background. The 18th century observed numerous medical advances and discoveries. The primary motive was to save countless lives that were lost every year by diseases and conditions unknown to the physicians of the time. This led to the increased practice of surgery which was often hindered by the excruciating pain it brought to the patients. In an effort to relieve pain during surgery, surgeons employed all kinds of means they could. Some used derivatives of herbs and plant extracts like opium and marijuana and others preferred alcohol concoctions to knock out a patient. Some even went as far to consider physically placing a blow on the head to render unconsciousness. Such processes were arbitrary and often rendered detrimental consequences emphasizing the need of an effective anesthetic agent. History of Surgical Anesthesia Research on modern techniques to reduce surgical pain began when an English scientist Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) discovered that inhalation of nitrous oxide might relieve pain. Others followed suit and dug up other gases like carbon dioxide which produced similar effects. Cocaine injections in the eye, mouth and other areas of body were also found useful in blocking nerve impulses. However, nitrous oxide and diethyl ether gained popularity as two American dentists began using the gas in their practice until it failed to work on a patient during a demonstrational tooth surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital. William Thomas Green Morton (1819-1868), a Boston dentist correctly concluded that the idea was right but the gas wasn't potent enough.

Long, gave ether as an anaesthetic for surgical purposes in 1842, four years before any other claimant for the discovery. While this had been known by authorities on anaesthesia, she felt that her father's memory should have wider recognition, and it has been her self-appointed and filial task to place the facts before the profession lest her father's modesty and self- effacement should result in their being neglected or forgotten. This made his fame secure in England, and when the University of Pennsylvania decided in the same year to celebrate the seventieth anniversary of this great medical discovery made by her graduate, by unveiling a memorial bronze to his memory Mrs. Taylor felt that her life's ambition had at last been gratified and that the whole world would now recognize his undisputed claim.

  • The Story of Crawford Long
    The Story of Crawford Long ©The discovery of surgical anesthesia by Crawford W. Long ever stimulates interest and enthusiasm among those interested in the history of medicine. Boland has written the events relating to the discovery of the use of ether by Long in a sprightly style that captivates the imagination of the reader." Quarterly Review of Biology In 1846 William Thomas Green Morton (1819-1868) performed the first publicly-witnessed surgery to use ether as an anesthetic when he removed a neck tumor from a patient at Massachusetts General Hospital. News of the dramatic event quickly spread and Morton was erroneously credited with discovering the procedure. Few people at the time knew that Crawford W. Long (1815 1878), a physician from FRANK KELLS BOLAND Danielsville, Georgia, was the true pioneer of this important medical advancement. Frank Kells Boland published The First Anesthetic in 1950. It traces the history of Long©s first discoveries and uses of anesthesia and calls for wider recognition of his achievements. FRANK KELLS BOLAND was a medical history scholar who served as Chairman of the Committee on Medical History of the Medical Association of Georgia. After publishing The First Anesthetic\\*e. served as President of the Crawford Long Memorial Association.

  • Crawford Williamson Long, Georgia's Most Celebrated Physician, Took
    Crawford Williamson Long, Georgia’s most celebrated physician, took seriously his oath to care for patients. During his medical school days in Kentucky and Pennsylvania and also while furthering his surgical skills in New York, Long observed patients in pain. He earned his medical degree in 1839 and spent 18 months in a New York Hospital internship1. His upbringing and his education would serve him well. In 1841, the young doctor assumed the existing medical practice of his mentor, Dr. George Grant, under whom he studied, in Jefferson, Georgia, located near his hometown of Danielsville2. He would be closer to family and likely better able to properly court a certain young lady. Mary Carolyn Swain would become Mrs. Crawford W. Long on Aug. 11, 1842, and they had 12 children, seven who lived to adulthood3. Establishment of Dr. Long’s practice allowed him to pursue improvement of the surgical experience for his patients and perhaps ease some of their trauma as well as their pain. His legacy is his contribution to the medical world which places the birthplace of anesthesia in Jefferson, Georgia4. Dr. Long had observed college-aged youth at “frolic parties” where nitrous oxide was inhaled to give participants a short-lived “high” and the experience of “feeling no pain” even after falling down and injuring themselves5. The popularity of such entertainment of the day spread and Dr. Long found that ether allowed the same experience when laughing gas was unavailable. He saw the potential of ether as anesthetic agent to provide a better alternative to the practices in use at the time.6 Dr.

  • Crawford W. Long's Discovery of Anesthetic Ether
    1 Crawford W. Long’s Discovery of Anesthetic Ether: Mesmerism, Delayed Publication, and the Historical Record This article was “published” originally in 2001 in History and Theory in Psychology Eprint Archive maintained at York University, Canada, an electronic archive that the author naively assumed might be as enduring as paper print archives. Apparently, that Archive is now defunct. Roger K. Thomas, Ph.D. The University of Georgia Presentation in the Key Barkley Symposium on the History if Psychology Southern Society for Philosophy and Psychology, April, 17, 2003, Atlanta, GA. Abstract Recognition for the discovery of anesthetic ether has been contentious from the beginning, although Crawford W. Long’s claim for priority, based on his first surgical use in 1842, may be the strongest. However, during most of the applicable history, greater recognition has gone to Thomas Morton, based on his first use in 1846. Morton’s was in a public demonstration at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, whereas, Long’s was with a private patient (but several witnesses) in a rural hamlet, Jefferson, Georgia. Long’s claim has been diminished and his reputation at times besmirched because he did not publish his claim until 1849. This paper examines some of the very good reasons why Long delayed his publication. Introduction The first time I taught History of Psychology (1968), Boring’s History of Experimental Psychology (1950) was the textbook. Boring’s chapter on hypnotism included the discovery of chemical anesthesia, because the discovery of chemical anesthesia led to the demise of the use of hypnosis (or mesmerism) as anesthesia. Most important among the early chemical anesthetics was ether, and Boring attributed the first use of anesthetic 2 ether to William Morton (1819-1868) of Boston in 1846.
