By MEAGAN JORDAN George-Anne staff

Over the past few months, wild$ res raged in south Georgia and northern Florida resulting in the occasional smoky haze around the Georgia Southern University campus. According to Valdosta Today, Georgia alone recorded almost 9,000 wild$ res since July of last year. Smoke from these $ res are becoming a problem for the environment and for people’s health. “! ere are three major $ res right now and one small one not far from Savannah that is about 353 acres, near Lindsay Hartman/STAFF Hinesville,” said Bill Murphey, chief meteorologist with Snooky’s restaurant is expected to close after CVS Pharmacy purchases it, leaving many residents disappointed. the Environmental Protection Department. “Seventy to 80 percent are contained, but there is still a lot of smoldering that is emitted from the $ res.” Although most of the major wild$ res are CVS Pharmacy expected approximately 170 miles away from Statesboro, the smoke occasionally dri# s into the area.

!e Averitt Center for the Arts in downtown Statesboro has an opposing duo of artists on display. !e Calm and Clamor exhibit showcases a wide variety of art from painter Christopher Paul and sculptor Duke Oursler. !ey were hand picked by the gallery committee at the Averitt Center to show their work in the main gallery at the same time. !e committee thought that an exhibit featuring both artists would be interesting for students and the community. Oursler’s work consists of sculpture forms that represent the steps taken to create a sculpture. He uses di"erent building materials to create three- dimensional works of art. Paul’s works are two- dimensional paintings that use acrylic paints mixed with varied materials, such as co"ee. Paul likes to create calming views of modern scenes that do not normally inspire a serene feeling.
