Student Guide to Statesboro • Welcome to the Boro • 1

Welcome, students:

S

o, you’re on your way to Georgia Southern University and probably the best four (maybe more) years of your life.

Having chosen Georgia Southern, we’re sure you already know everything there is to know about your future alma mater, having read all the viewbooks, letters and catalogues they sent. Additionally, you will quickly gain knowledge of the GSU campus life through your SOAR sessions and orientations.

Anyway, within your first week on campus, you’ll get the lowdown on how to get around, where to eat and what there is to do on campus.

But if you’re not from the Bulloch County area, then the only thing you probably know

your guide to the Boro

about Statesboro — the Boro — is it’s home to GSU. While a college campus can seem like its own little world, there will come a time when either hunger for fast food or a shopping expedition forces you to venture off campus.

And that’s what this guide is for — to help you get to know Statesboro and Bulloch County a little better and answer the really important questions like “where can I get some good hot wings,”“how do I get cable,” “where are the best local places to shop” and “what is there to do downtown?”

You’ll also find the answers to some more important questions like “where’s the hospital” and “when does the City Council meet?” (This may be important for a class or two.)

2 • Student Guide to Statesboro • Welcome to the Boro

Georgia Southern and its students are an important part of Statesboro and Bulloch County. Without you, we would not have many of the great restaurants and businesses that we have in this community.

Not only does the university bring in new economic opportunities and diversity — not to mention putting Statesboro on the map with its six-time national championship Eagles football team — but its students also get involved with many community projects like Habitat for Humanity and Red Cross blood drives.

Be a part of this community in your 4-plus-years stay here, and you will see all that this town has to offer. We hope you enjoy your years at GSU, and welcome to the Boro!

Q: What do you recommend students look for in a place to live?

A: “Somewhere that is safe, but also

in your price range. Don’t go somewhere that’s out of your price range because you need money to get food and different things.”

— Hannah Johnson, junior, multimedia communications major “Look for the room size, the amenities, cable, Internet, a gym, and also how close it is to campus.”

— Jameisha Shavers, sophomore, chemistry prepharmacy major

Housing options living in the Boro You’re finally getting out of the house. No more parents watching your every move. You’re on your own. So, where are you going to live?

Statesboro has a variety of options, all with their own pros and cons. For incoming freshmen, that choice has been made simple for you by university rules. For upperclassmen, while the decision isn’t permanent, it can be binding for at least a year.

Privately owned apartment complexes and 11 GSU residence halls beckon to students, providing perks and conveniences, all geared to sway students either to live off-campus in a privately owned apartment or house, or university-owned residence halls.

While the rental companies and GSU housing

“Look for something that reminds you of home.”

— Samantha Smith, senior, economics major officials harp the benefits of both styles of living, students say the choice isn’t quite cut-and-dried.

Most agree that choosing a place to call home — for at least the next year — depends largely on each student’s personal tastes.

Georgia Southern residence halls offer great location and convenience, since they’re right on campus and located within walking distance of entertainment, food and sports options.

Also, students who live on campus have easier access to tutoring, mentoring and computer labs with specialized programs for certain majors.

Security is another draw. The halls are patrolled by campus security, residents have keys to get in halls, and visitors are supposed to be escorted.

Living in a hall also makes it easy for students to get involved in campus activities, with events going on all of the time and RAs helping with information.

Georgia Southern continued to change the way it provides housing for students in 2009 when the university required freshmen to live on campus and when it opened its newest residence hall, Centennial Place.

Last year, there were more than 4,000 students living on campus, most of whom (about 3,500) were freshmen.

For the past several years, the university has added new residential buildings to its list of available on-campus housing to keep up with the university’s constant growth.

According to Jon Coleman, university housing director, the university is constantly looking for ways to keep up with growth of its student body.

Construction is one way, but another is purchasing existing properties. He said the goal is to have 30 percent of undergraduates living on campus.

Campus Club apartments on Lanier Drive was purchased by the university. It transitioned from an off-campus complex to on-campus housing in fall 2012.

Centennial Place, which opened in August 2009, houses 1,001 students. It is adjacent to the Russell Union and Landrum Dining Commons, and features Cold Stone Creamery, Einstein Bros. Bagels, a small market and College Optical Express.

“We got very positive feedback,” Coleman said. “Students really like the facility. They liked

Student Guide to Statesboro • Welcome to the Boro • 5

the support services that were in building 2, including the dining services, optometrist as well as the culinary, classroom, computer lab and game area.”

Coleman believes there are many benefits for students who choose to live on campus, including location, convenience and the support staff.

“I think students appreciate the benefits of living on campus,” he said. “They like the convenience. I think that if we had as twice as many spaces as we did, we probably would have had all those spaces filled as well.”

Apartments amenities & freedom Most apartment complexes in Statesboro offer a variety of living arrangements for students.

The options include single-bedroom apartments as well as multi-bedroom facilities. Nearly all of the leasing companies provide separate leases for each room of the apartment, with the idea being that students won’t have to worry about splitting rent or other bills. This allows students to be responsible for their rent and lease separate from

6 • Student Guide to Statesboro • Welcome to the Boro

their roommates, in the event that a roommate fails to pay or uphold their end of the lease.

Some apartment complexes offer residents the option of having furnished apartments for an additional monthly fee, while many offer both furnished and unfurnished choices to fit any lifestyle, and student, that comes their way.

While the apartments near GSU are geared toward young college students, they offer adult perks too. Pools, computer labs, gym facilities, and 24-hour security are among the most attractive amenities. Those same services are available to students who live on campus, but usually with more restrictions and guidance from the school.

Apartments are open year-round, unlike university housing, which closes during the summer months. Most apartment leases in Statesboro are 12-month leases — something to think about when you are signing because of its commitment through the following summer.

Many complexes also offer “all-inclusive” billing, which covers rent and utilities at a flat fee. They also have special roommate matching programs.

Apartment complexes have several amenities, and students don’t have to worry about

Student Guide to Statesboro • Welcome to the Boro • 7

mowing lawns, damage to apartments, or funding repairs.

Like everywhere else, pet policies differ from apartment to apartment, so be sure you checkout pet policies prior to purchasing a pet.

8 • Student Guide to Statesboro • Welcome to the Boro

While GSU encourages students to live in oncampus housing, the university will help students locate off campus. Eighteen complexes participate in the Community Adviser Program. Those properties have listings on the GSU housing Web page — http://students.georgiasouthern.edu/off campus/ca_prop.htm — and trained community advisers living in each complex.

The program was established so that students who choose to live off campus won’t be disconnected from on-campus activities.

Rent at apartment complexes can run from $400-$1,200 per month, with a 12-month lease being the standard. Deposits range from $100 (during some specials) to the full price of rent. At many complexes, students must have an adult (someone with verifiable employment) sign a guarantee for the apartment on the day the lease is signed.

Leases are hard to break, and school officials say students should think long and hard before entering into the legally binding agreement. However, the apartment complexes in Statesboro are very accommodating and quick to answer any concerns a student may have.

Q: What roommate advice would you give to freshmen?

A: “Don’t live with your friends. Also,

be polite and courteous no matter what to avoid tension.”

— Chanice Oliver, junior, human resource management major “Make sure you communicate with your roommates if you have any issues. It makes things run a whole lot smoother and keeps everyone happy.”

— Katherine Stanford, junior, communication studies major

Buying a house having a mortgage Local realtors say more and more parents are purchasing houses or townhomes for their children going to GSU — particularly if siblings are attending at the same time. Purchasing gives parents a tax write-off for the interest.

Plus moving a roommate in a house to help with bills and pay rent — earns money that goes straight toward the owner’s mortgage.

For the renter, renting is normally a no-stringsattached introduction to home ownership. It gives an individual a feel for home life, but usually without the headaches of maintenance or repair work — something the landlord typically covers.

“Do not room with your friends, because you never truly know someone until you live with them.”

— Tabitha Coombs, junior, multimedia communications major

working out off-campus fitness options Looking to lose a few pounds or just maintain an excellent physique? Statesboro has plenty of options for your workout needs.

The most obvious place to look is the Recreation Activity Center located on Akins Boulevard.

An expansion to the center — known as the RAC — was completed in 2006 and added an additional 125,000 square feet of workout space, bringing the total size of the building to 215,000 square feet. The LEED-certified facility includes an indoor competition pool, eight indoor basketball courts, fitness center, 45-foot rock-climbing wall, bouldering cave and indoor track.

Open only to students, faculty and staff, the RAC offers fitness classes and personal training by certified trainers (for an additional fee). Special weekend memberships are available to Georgia Southern alumni.

A portion of students’ tuition pays for the gym, so there are no fees for using any of the exercise equipment or facilities.

For more information about the RAC and all Campus Recreation and Intramurals, visit www. georgiasouthern.edu/cri.

However, if the RAC doesn’t offer what you need, there are other workout locations in Statesboro for you to choose from.

For the ladies, there is LOA Fitness located on U.S. Highway 80. LOA Fitness is a fitness club maintained exclusively for women, offering specialized circuit-training equipment and other standard club amenities, including aerobics floors, cardio equipment, group classes, personal training and nutritional counseling.

Statesboro also offers a pair of 24-hour gyms, open seven days a week.

N Shape Fitness Center, at 739A Northside Drive W., is an exclusive fitness center that has a membership limited to 300 members. The center offers a wide variety of cardiovascular and weight training equipment. Included in each membership is aqua massage, tanning and a variety of group classes including yoga, zumba, boot camp, step, abs and rowing.

Statesboro Snap Fitness, at 609 Brannen St., offers 24/7-access memberships starting at less than $1 a day and month-to-month contracts.

The center features a newly expanded facility, with more than 6,000 square feet of space, complete with state-of-the-art Cybex equipment, group fitness/training studios and free weights. Group fitness classes are also provided.

You can find 180 Fitness on Fair Road behind Wendy’s and Zaxby’s. 180 Fitness offers more than 70 pieces of equipment, including free weights, spin bikes, rowing machines, cardio machines and Cybex equipment. In addition to its extensive equipment selection, 180 offers more than 30 group fitness classes, including the famous Les Mills workouts, which include something for everyone. Student rates are also available at 180 Fitness in three-month, semester and year rates.

If you’re tired of fighting the big crowds at the RAC or the other commercial gyms or simply not seeing the results you need, Fit by Julie and Yoga on Vine, located downtown, and Crossfit Boro, at 1189 Sarahlyn Lane across from Splash in the Boro, offer training services that provide a more targeted approach to getting fit. For more information, visit the gyms’ websites at fitbyjulie.org and crossfitboro.com.

Student health staying healthy As long as you pay your $94 health fee each semester ($46 during summer classes), the services provided by Georgia Southern’s Health Services, which include lab work, minor surgery and much more, are free.

“There’s no fee for service for any of our lab work, X-rays, specialty care services, women’s health like annual physicals, minor surgery or any of those things we do,” said Paul Ferguson, the director of Health Services. “The health fee covers all of those things.”

According to Ferguson, the center also will provide students with seasonal flu and H1N1 flu vaccines in the fall semester.

Since August 2010, students have been able to make appointments online at www.georgia southern.edu/health and also can speak to a nurse 24 hours a day for nonemergency situations.

“They won’t just get an automatic message to leave a voicemail,” Ferguson said. “They’ll be able to get a hold of a nurse who’s very familiar with what’s happening in Statesboro and at the health center.”

If you are a full-time student at GSU, the Counseling and Career Development Center provides up to 12 free visits per academic year.

The center provides individual, couples and group counseling, as well as workshops and crisis intervention services.

“Our mission is to help students succeed and to treat those issues and concerns that are barriers to their being successful in college,”said David Matthews, a staff psychologist at the center.

“We are confidential. We do not communicate with parents or other university offices. We operate corroboratively with the staff at the health center in treating students who have physical issues that may compound their emotional health.”

The office is only for short-term treatment. If a client needs treatment for substance abuse or a major mental health illness, the office will help find an appropriate off-campus doctor.

If you’re a member of the community, a parttime student or someone seeking couples counseling, the clinic run by the psychology department at Georgia Southern is for you.

The clinic is staffed by graduate students in the Doctor of Psychology program. They are supervised by licensed clinical psychologists. The price of each session ranges from $5 to $30. The clinic also sees teenagers and children.

There, a secure, private web communications program called Eagle Online Student Health is available. This new program integrates directly with the Health Services Electronic Medical Records system, providing significant enhancements to your communication with Health Services including the following: 1) Immunization compliance function 2) Student patient appointment

self-scheduling 3) Secure patient 4) Health insurance data collection and updates

5) Medical history forms 6) Pre-visit intake forms 7) Patient education and disease prevention 8) Rx refill request 9) View billing statements 10) View health center policies 11) After hours & emergency guidelines 12) Patient health record Because this is a very secure, private database website, you will be required to log in using your existing My Georgia Southern student username and password.

Cost of Books After shelling out big bucks for tuition, housing, and other college expenses, students and parents might be shocked by the prices of textbooks. According to old campus newspapers, students have been complaining about textbook prices since the

Q: What is your favorite Georgia Southern campus activity?

A: “Hammocking on Sweetheart Circle.”

— Hallie Worthington, senior, recreation major

“My favorite on-campus activity is Unplugged which happens in Russell Union on Tuesday nights. It’s great to see people showcasing their talent; we have a lot of talented students here.”

— Jannah Bolds, GSU alumna, 2013 18 • Student Guide to Statesboro • Welcome to the Boro

1930s, when the average book cost about $3.

So how can you budget for the heavy cost of textbooks? A big part depends on how many classes you are taking and the books your professor has chosen for the class. Your major can greatly affect how much you spend on books, and there are other factors to consider as well. You have to keep in mind that along with books there are supplies you’ll need for class such as study guides, notebooks, pens, lab supplies or art supplies.

According to the National Association of College Stores, the average full-time student spent about $563 last fall on books and supplies ... isn’t that something to look forward to! The store isn’t involved in choosing which books are used in the classroom. Professors spend a lot of time trying to find just the right books for their courses. You can try to recoup some of the cost at the end of the semester by selling back the books you will no longer be using. You could end up getting back as much as 67 percent of your original textbook costs (with any luck).

There are a few things you can do to save some cash. First, try to buy used textbooks. As a new student you may think this is odd, but if you don’t mind some folded corners and some highlighting you could save yourself quite a bit. However, there usually aren’t that many used books and they sell out fast, so get to a local bookstore quickly to cash in on these savings.

Another thing to be aware of is book theft.

You may not realize this, but some people steal books and try to sell them back to the bookstores for cash. We recommend keeping an eye on your books and never leaving them unattended, not even in the library. Having to buy your books twice is never a good or fun thing.

To get the most dollars back make sure the books are in good condition when returning them.

Most local bookstores will not buy back books that have water damage, missing pages, or excessive ink writing and highlighting. Also, if your book came as part of a package, you must have all your pieces to return the book. This includes CDs, study guides, blueprints, manuals, etc.

The University Store As the official campus store, The University Store of Georgia Southern provides the products, services and programs that support student success. At The University Store, students enjoy the convenience of one-stop shopping in a dynamic

Georgia Southern environment. In addition to having Statesboro’s largest selection of new and used textbooks, the Eagle-centric shop sells licensed apparel, home décor and gift items to suit every Southern fan’s needs.

The University Store offers all required textbooks and is a trusted campus resource for course materials and technology. Georgia Southern University faculty and staff work with The University Store to ensure a complete selection of required class materials. Unlike off-campus stores, The University Store only sells the correct and complete editions of textbooks and course materials.

Purchasing textbooks and course materials at The University Store is a simple and streamlined process. Print a class schedule in the store and the staff will pull required textbooks, online-access codes or course materials. Want to save even more time? Preorder textbooks online at gsustore. com or my.georgiasouthern.edu. The University Store will send an email notification when the purchase is ready for in-store pick-up.

By selling both new and used textbooks, eBooks, and offering competitive pricing and rental programs, The University Store gives students multiple purchasing options. The store partners with Georgia Southern University’s Office of Financial Aid and accepts all forms of financial aid awarded through the office and is the only authorized book store to accept financial aid. To use financial aid, students present their Eagle I.D. at the register. The process is unobtrusive and completely safe.

Textbook returns and exchanges are another highlight of The University Store’s dedication to student success. The store welcomes returns and exchanges during the drop/add period at the beginning of each semester. Textbooks and access codes must be returned in the condition as purchased along with original sale receipt. The last date for returns and exchanges is printed on the sales receipt as a reminder to customers.

Need cash for a book? Having an everyday Buy Back program is a way The University Store puts cash back in the hands of students. If a book is required for a course the following semester, the store will pay up to 66 percent of the book’s retail value unless a buying quota has already been met.

The University Store understands the expense of a quality education and through Buy Back, rental and used book programs is working to drive down the costs of textbooks and course materials.

The University Store is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at gsustore.com.

Gray’s College Bookstore

Q: What is your favorite Georgia Southern campus activity?

A: “My favorite activity on campus

are the movie nights in the Russell Union Theater.”

— Kelsey Webb, sophomore, middle grades and education major

Gray’s College Bookstore, the official offcampus bookstore, is located on Chandler Road directly across from Parking and Transportation next to Subway and Eagle Clips. Gray’s offers textbooks and school supplies as well as a selection of Georgia Southern T-shirts and merchandise.

Gray’s offers students many ways to save on books. The store’s easy financial aid program gives you a choice so you do not have to shop on campus just because you receive financial aid. Gray’s also works with professors so the store will have exactly the materials you need. If something isn’t in stock the first week of classes, a courteous staff member will order it for you and you’ll get 10 percent off! Gray’s guarantees cheaper prices than campus or they give you a portion of the difference back.

The Monday and Tuesday before classes start, everything in the store is 10 percent off, including textbooks. Pre-order your books online or in the store before August 1 for fall semester and get 10 percent off your entire order.

Don’t forget, Gray’s also rents all of their textbooks (I-clickers included!) to give you an even cheaper option when choosing your semesters books. Stop by and use one of the new self checkout rental kiosks that speed up the process of renting your books so you can get back to enjoying your day.

When it comes to selling your books back to Gray’s, the staff works hard to give you more for your books. Along with regular buyback, Gray’s now offers Buyback Gold, a textbook consignment program. That’s right; you can use their shelves to sell your books. For select books, Gray’s will list them and stock them on their shelves for you. When the book sells, Gray’s will contact you so you can pick up your cash, or Gray’s can mail you a check. You get 75 percent of the final selling price.

Election info exercise your rights

Statesboro local government At some time during your four years at Georgia Southern, you’ll probably need to get in touch with the local government officials. As a student, the city of Statesboro is the local government you’ll probably deal with the most. If you live off campus, they’ll be the ones to turn on your water, pick up your garbage and give you a ticket if you break the law inside the city limits.

Statesboro is the county seat and largest city in Bulloch County with more than 28,000 people.

Over the last decade, Statesboro has grown into a shopping, health care, education and employment hub for the region, due in large part to the influence of Georgia Southern. Maybe that’s why so many GSU students decide to stick around after they graduate.

Statesboro is governed by a five-member board and a mayor. Council members serve fouryear terms, with half the council up for election every two years. Each councilman is elected by district and the mayor is elected by the city as a whole. Daily operations are handled by the city manager.

Statesboro provides water, sewer, natural gas and garbage pickup to city residents. You can establish service for these utilities at City Hall on East Main Street. (See page 17)

A big part of the college experience is tuning into the world around you, and a great way to do that is to exercise your right to vote. Many people saw the presidential race last year, and many people came out to vote.

If you are voting in your hometown, be sure to apply for an absentee ballot.

In order to register to vote in Georgia, you must be a citizen of the United States, a legal resident of Georgia and the county in which you wish to vote and at least 18 years of age by Election Day. Register to vote in the general election in Bulloch County by Oct. 6.

Students living on campus or in the apartment complexes near campus vote at the Pittman Park United Methodist Church, located on Fair Road across from GSU.The county redrew its voting districts and added the Pittman Park precinct several years ago in order to make voting more convenient for students.

To learn more about Georgia elections or to obtain an online voter registration form, visit the Secretary of State’s website at www.sos.state. ga.us/.

Bulloch County

Historic communities

government

from humble beginnings

Bulloch County is not only one of Georgia’s largest counties geographically, it is also one of the fastest growing in the southern part of the state.

Like most communities in Georgia, Bulloch’s roots are in agriculture, but over the last 100 years it has also developed a thriving business community due in part to the presence of Georgia Southern.

Bulloch County is governed by a seven-member board with representatives elected from two districts, District 1, which is a minority district, and District 2. Two representatives are elected from District 1 and four representatives are elected from District 2. The chairman is elected by the entire county.

The board meets the first Tuesday of every month at 5:30 p.m. and the third Tuesday of the month at 8:30 a.m.

The day-to-day operations of the county are handled by the county manager, Tom Couch.

Until the 1940s, rural towns and communities dominated Bulloch County. But with the rise of the railroad and modern highways, many of these towns declined over the years. However, many of these historic communities still exist, at least in name, and their residents find them peaceful places to live.

Stilson is located west of Brooklet and was once one of the busiest stops on the S&S Railway.

The community of Hopeulikit was named when the owner of a local dance hall decided to hold a contest to name the community. Reportedly, one of the entries had a handwritten note at the bottom which read “Hope U Like It.” The judges did, and the name still marks the area on Highway 25 north of Statesboro.

The Sinkhole District earned its name 150 years ago when a sawmill in southwest Bulloch slowly sank into the ground one evening. When the employees returned the next morning, the mill was gone.

Citizens living in the area claim the sinkhole never goes dry and there are several legends surrounding the 100-foot long phenomena.

Clito, five miles north of Statesboro, thrived in the early 20th century by becoming a stop on the Dover Railroad Line.

Leefield, located seven miles northeast of Brooklet, takes its name from the Lee family which once owned the land set on a high bluff. Like many small communities, it built up around the railroad, but with the decline of rail service, Leefield’s economy also declined.

Nevils is still a lively community located in the southern part of the county. It has its own elementary school and is also home to many shops and antique stores.

Emit, located five miles southeast of Statesboro, was named after Emit Anderson, a former postmaster. At one time Emit was under consideration to become the county seat of Bulloch, but some wealthy farmers in the northern part of the county pushed to have Statesboro named.

Once a lively crossroads, Emit today is a quiet farming community.

home to four cities

In addition to Statesboro, there are three other incorporated cities in Bulloch County — Brooklet, Portal and Register.

With just over 1,100 residents, Brooklet is a quiet community located about 10 miles east of Statesboro. Known for its annual Peanut Festival, it offers quiet country living with all the amenities of a thriving community. Downtown has a variety of shops including several antique stores and a large furniture store.

Brooklet City Hall is located at 106 Church St. and can be reached at (912) 842-2137.

Just 14 miles west of Statesboro, the small town of Portal offers the charm of a quiet, neighbororiented community.

Portal is best known for its rich agricultural heritage which is celebrated each fall with the Catface Country Turpentine Festival.

Portal City Hall is located at 27209 Hwy. 80 West and can be reached at (912) 865-2566.

Register is only 15 minutes from either Metter or Statesboro and the drive is worth the peaceful, friendly atmosphere you’ll find in this town of only 160 people.

The Register Town Hall is located on Foster Road in a historic schoolhouse and can be reached at (912) 488-2424.

stay out of trouble Fireworks are illegal in Georgia. Sparklers were recently legalized, but anything that explodes is offlimits and can result in a fine.

Liquor is sold by the drink in bars and restaurants, but it isn’t available by the bottle in Bulloch County. You won’t be able to legally purchase alcohol after 1 a.m., and “to-go cups” are a no-no.

So is having an open container of alcohol in your vehicle. And if you get plastered at a local establishment (or at home), please don’t climb behind the wheel. Local judges aren’t fond of drinking and driving.

Don’t attempt to walk home drunk, either. Call a friend or a cab — stumbling down the road can get you a pedestrian under the influence charge.

If an officer does stop you, it’s best to be honest. Giving false information is a crime that will only make your plight worse — and the officer will find out if you are lying.

All persons convicted of first offender DUI/ possession of controlled substances charges must complete DUI school, clinical evaluation (unless waived by the court) and treatment if recommended by the evaluation.

If you throw a party, make sure you are not so loud your neighbors will be disturbed. And if they are disturbed and you have illegal drugs or underage drinkers at your party, police will know and people will be arrested. The best bet?

Invite the neighbors, and make sure you break no laws.

When you gotta go, you gotta go. Regardless, guys (and gals), make sure you use a restroom facility. Urinating in public, whether or not you think you’re out of sight, is illegal and can rack up a charge of indecent exposure.

You and the roomie don’t get along? Many arrests are made when roommates or romantically involved couples — even friends — lose tempers and fight among themselves. The best bet is get away from the situation, cool off and try to resolve the issue when tempers are under control. If not, when the fight starts and somebody calls police, somebody usually goes to jail.

Boro Shopping local retail hot spots

famous acts, local talent Whether it’s local musicians making the rounds in the Boro’s music scene or large-scale concerts featuring nationally known recording artists, there is never a shortage of high-quality entertainment available in the Boro.

Each year, the University Programming Board, a combination of the former student groups Eagle Entertainment and Traditions Council, works to bring a big-name act to Statesboro for an oncampus concert. In 2014, GSU’s Spring Concert at Paulson Stadium featured the Grammy award-winning country music trio Lady Antebellum (known for hits including “I Run to You,” “American Honey,” “Need You Now” and “Downtown”) as its headlining band, with opening acts by Joe Nichols (“Gimmie That Girl,” “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off,” “Sunny and 75”) and Kristian Bush of the country music duo Sugarland (“Baby Girl,” “Stay”).

Indeed, many country artists have performed to large crowds at GSU in recent years, including Brad Paisley, Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw and The Band Perry, but non-country artists including 3 Doors Down, Ciara, Ludacris and The Fray also have visited the Boro.

Student Guide to Statesboro • Welcome to the Boro • 31

But hosting big acts is nothing new to Georgia Southern. The Rolling Stones played their first show at a U.S. college campus at GSU’s own Hanner Fieldhouse. Other legends to have played at Southern include Jimmy Buffett, Lynard Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers Band. There are even some big-name acts who were playing venues around the Boro long before they became famous, including Luke Bryan (a GSU alumnus who has brought his Farm Tour to the area for the last five years), Jason Aldean, Jennifer Nettles (of Sugarland) and Cole Swindell, just to name a few.

So, keep your eyes peeled and your ears open, because you never know who might be next on the musical road to success.

A favorite in the local music scene, this band has established a solid foothold in the area.

Those Cats: A high-energy, seven-piece powerhouse from right here in the Boro, Those Cats’ fresh, funky and soulful sound has provided listeners with a never-ending well of groove for more than three years. Every show is filled with original tunes and timeless covers that combine for a contagiously energetic yet smooth sound that has become the band’s trademark. Earlier this year, Those Cats released their first full-length album, “Something More Specific,” available for purchase from iTunes, Amazon, Google Play and several other digital retailers.

Local musicians seen & heard in the Boro Chris Mitchell: The former longhaired rocker cut his hair but hasn’t mellowed at all in more than 15 years of shaking Statesboro venues. Chris also maintains a guitar studio and is the owner of Pladd Dot Music, which offers private music lessons to local students. Oh, yeah — he designs his own line of guitars, too.

Ten Mile Creek: Just some “good ole boys makin’ noise,” this band from Claxton, Ga., formerly a trio consisting of Brendon Sapp (guitar and lead vocals), Dalton Hutcheson (bass) and Samarie Palmer (drums and vocals), recently added two new members to the group: David Hallman (guitar) and Gil Postell (keyboard). Despite recent success with the group’s first single, “Dirt Road Princess,” which spent some time at the top of the Georgia Country Charts last year, this quintet continues to treat audiences to live shows right here in Statesboro — and they never disappoint on stage.

The Hellhounds: Self-described as a “guitardriven roadhouse blues/rock” band, the members of this rowdy local trio bring down the house with a rocking mix of percussion, bass and guitar every time they take the stage.

The Orange Constant: Despite their wideranging influences and musical preferences, this quartet has mastered and refined the technique of seamlessly incorporating a variety of genres into one song, creating a distinct and electrifying sound that leaves their audiences wanting more.

A

film that captures the funny side of fear won Best Film as well as Viewers’ Choice during the sixth annual Statesboro Film Festival at the Averitt Center for the Arts in April 2014.

Directed by Daryl Sullivan, “Stabby Stabby Stab Stab” is a humorous take on the classic chase by a masked killer with a knife. Viewers giggled throughout the short film as a pretty young girl ran from the tall masked murderer, running through alleys and streets easily recognized as downtown Statesboro.

A twist had the chase interrupted by a couple leaving a restaurant, and the victim joined her would-be killer for drinks before leaving, when he resumed the pursuit.

“Stabby Stabby Stab Stab” was also nominated for Best Editing, Best Cinematography and Best Director.

“The Packinghouse,” directed

by Brian Graves, documents the murky history of a “haunted” local property. The abandoned meatpacking plant on Packinghouse Road is rumored to have been

the site of numerous deaths when its owner set fire to it with workers trapped inside. The film takes a look at the myths and the lack of documentation supporting the ghost tales.

“The Packinghouse” was chosen for the Best Editing and Best Director awards. It was also nominated for Best Cinematography and Best Film.

The Best Cinematography award was given to a film directed by Kenneth Gamblin.

“A Letter” tells the tale of two star-crossed lovers through a heartfelt letter written by the male part of the couple. “A Letter” was also nominated for Best Editing, Best Film and Best Director.

Also nominated for Best Editing and Best Film was “Einstein’s Dream,” another film directed by Sullivan. The film is an adaption of the short story by the same name, written by Alan Lightman, and outlines the insanity caused by an obsessive love.

Alison Maloof and Cesar Vargas directed “Writer’s Block,” a film about a woman’s struggle to write a story. “Writer’s Block” was nominated for Best Cinematography.

Filmmakers winning awards were presented trophies, and Sullivan received a 39-inch highdefinition TV as prize for the Best Film award.

The event was hosted by the Statesboro Herald and sponsored by the Averitt Center for the Arts, Millhouse Steakhouse (which provided refreshments during the intermission) and Gailey Trophy.

The Statesboro Film Festival was created by Matthew Bankhead, the event coordinator and video producer for statesboro herald.com and the lead producer for the daily “Studio Statesboro” vodcast and the “Statesboro Herald Report”.

Farmers market fresh local produce Looking for something to do on a Saturday in Statesboro? The Main Street Statesboro Farmers Market is an excellent place to visit. Every Saturday from April through November, visitors to Charlie Olliff Square behind Sea Island Bank in downtown Statesboro find fresh, local food and live entertainment from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The Saturday-morning market draws nearly 1,100 visitors each week and is home to more than 45 vendors selling fresh produce, meats, dairy products, plants and many unique crafts from Bulloch and surrounding counties.

If Saturday mornings are inconvenient, there are other opportunities and places to shop the market. On Tuesdays from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Bulloch County Parks and Recreation’s Honey Bowen Building on Max Lockwood Drive, consumers may enjoy the park’s picnic and playground area as they shop.

The market accepts EBT, credit and debit cards to make shopping easier, and consumers who receive food stamps may take advantage of a special partnership with Georgia Wholesale Wave. For every dollar spent using the EBT card

bout 50 years ago, the Statesboro Kiwanis Club decided an agricultural fair would be a great way to raise money to funnel back into the community. The club was right, and the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair has been a resounding success ever since.

The weeklong event each October is highly popular and draws thousands of visitors, many from the surrounding counties.

Rides! There are gentle thrills for the faint of heart as well as more exciting rides for the brave.

The Amusements of America company strives to provide a variety of top-level rides each year, and usually has something new every fall for the adventurous to try.

Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair: the Statesboro tradition booths with homemade baked goods, chicken and dumplings, chili and fresh-fried pork rinds.

The Statesboro Kiwanis Club always offers delights at the Pancake House with fresh griddle cakes, sausage and old-fashioned cane syrup (maple for those who want it), and The Circle K smokes some mighty fine barbecue sold at the Barbecue Hut. Entertainment! From Elvis impersonators to gospel groups and popular beach bands, there is live entertainment on select nights. There are also several livestock shows held each night during the fair in which local youths compete for the best sheep, hogs and cattle.

There are several exhibit areas — from the business section, where local agencies, organizations and businesses display their wares or promote their services, to the 4-H minibooth exhibit in which students show their work on certain projects.

There is an art show, agricultural products exhibit, homemakers’ crafts, handmade items and much more.

Kids will enjoy exciting exhibits, and adults will take a trip back in time as they wander through the historic Aldrich House and outbuildings. In the Heritage Village, one can see how corn is ground into meal, how a blacksmith works, and visit an authentic country store.

There are several antique agricultural equipment displays as well and plenty of spaces to sit and rest while enjoying a cold drink or a snack.

Don’t forget the daredevils or the games of chance!

At least one night of the week, the Kiwanis Club gives free admission to students with a valid college ID.

Statesboro Kiwanis Rodeo: bulls, broncs, cowboys

O

ne of the newest and most popular events is the Statesboro Kiwanis Rodeo. Thousands packed the Kiwanis fairgrounds for each of the first five years, so make your plans early if you want to catch the 2015 edition.

The rodeo proved to be a big hit right from the start, with two sold-out shows in 2011. The second annual event expanded to three shows — Friday night and Saturday afternoon and evening — all drawing large crowds. In 2013, the Statesboro Kiwanis Club cut back to two nighttime shows, but added seating to accommodate the crowds.

Expect the rodeo to be a fixture at the fairgrounds for many years to come.

You won’t go hungry. Vendors sell pancakes and sausage, funnel cakes, chicken sandwiches, hotdogs and hamburgers, cowboy hats and western accessories, cotton candy and more.

The International Professional Rodeo Association-sanctioned event truly attracts an international field of competitors. This year’s version drew cowboys and cowgirls from all over the world, including Brazil and Canada. The locals stepped up to the saddle, too, with a dozen or more residents from Bulloch and surrounding counties trying their luck against the world’s best.

The rodeo features several contests — some of which have a lighter atmosphere than others.

In the inaugural Statesboro rodeo, five teams of three — mostly Georgia Southern University football players — entered a contest to catch a steer and dress it in a scarf and shorts. Only one team succeeded.

In 2012, the rodeo saw a Savannah man’s dream come full circle. Stephen West, 23, took his first rodeo ride at the first Statesboro rodeo. In the second, he held on for the full eight seconds for the

first time.

“Last night was the first time he ‘made the tooter,’” said Danny Hedrick, owner of the Hedrick Rodeo Company, which brings the bulls, broncs and champion riders to the rodeo each year. “The tooter” means the horn that sounds when a rider lasts eight seconds on the bull or bronc.

West became so enamored with riding bareback broncs last year, he ended up becoming a Hedrick employee. He tended horses, worked on Hedrick’s Madisonville, Tenn., ranch and rode broncs, but he has since moved on in the rodeo circuit.

Mill creek park outdoor Boro locale Located off Highway 24 just a few miles from campus, Mill Creek Regional Park is Bulloch County’s main park.

With 155 acres, Mill Creek offers numerous playing fields, picnic pavilions, two playgrounds and a scenic lake with a paved walking path.

There is also a 1.25 mile trail where you can jog, skate or just walk your dog.

The park is also home to Splash in the Boro, a water park featuring several pools, slides and a lazy river.

On July 4th, Mill Creek also hosts an Independence Day celebration complete with contests, live music and one of the best fireworks displays in southeast Georgia.

walking paths out for a stroll One of the nicest paths to walk, jog, bike or skate along in Statesboro, the Willie McTell Trail — named in honor of legendary blues guitarist “Blind” Willie McTell — is a convenient way to get from campus to downtown.

At just over a mile, the path stretches from Triangle Park on East Main Street to the northeast corner of campus on Fair Road. The smooth, wide path is lighted and landscaped and offers bike racks at both ends.

Another popular trail, the S&S Greenway offers riders and pedestrians nearly three miles of pavement stretching from downtown to the city’s limits.

The 2.7-mile pathway begins and ends at trailheads located on Gentilly Road and the intersection of Burkhalter and Pretoria Rushing roads. The trail is maintained by Statesboro-Bulloch Parks and Recreation, and features landscaping, lighting, signage, and bathrooms (at trailheads).

The path runs behind the Statesboro Crossing shopping plaza, under the Veterans Memorial Parkway and over Cawana Road where it continues along Railroad Bed Road to the intersection of Burkhalter and Pretoria Rushing roads.

Parks officials hope to stretch the trail to Brooklet, about seven miles from Statesboro.

Fun runs local 5Ks Each year, Statesboro is home to many 5K run/walks. Here are a few highlights: The Chocolate Run — In February, local and area runners get to satisify a sweet tooth while supporting a good cause. The race begins in beautiful downtown Statesboro and benefits Open Hearts Community Mission for homeless people in the area. Last year’s race raised a whopping $25,000! And it’s called “Statesboro’s sweetest race” for a reason — chocolate abounds.

Color the Campus 5K — The Delta Phi Epsilon sorority at Georgia Southern hosts this annual race where participants, starting out in white clothing, are doused with paint in powder form as they wind their way around campus to help raise awareness and money for Cystic Fibrosis research.

Pink Power Palooza & Cotton Candy 5K — Each spring, the Statesboro-Bulloch County Breast Cancer Foundation hosts a 5K race on Georgia Southern’s campus. More than 500 people attended the last event — a day of carnival fun featuring the Cotton Candy 5K which raised nearly $30,000. The annual fundraiser supports the foundation’s efforts to increase the awareness of community members about breast health and to serve patients, survivors and families impacted by breast cancer through educational outreach, patient counseling and professional medical services.

Splash in the Boro:

W

hen you break it down, Splash in the Boro is 7.7 million pounds of concrete, 65 tons of rebar, 8,500 feet of pipe and about 800,000 gallons of water. But what it adds up to is tons of summer fun.

Splash in the Boro opened in 2004, and more than half a million people have enjoyed the hottest place to cool down every summer since.

The facility features several pool areas including an 800-foot lazy river, three slides — two body and one inner tube — and an Olympicsize pool. There are also picnic tables, changing areas and lockers, a gift shop and shaded areas.

The two concession stands, Splashy’s Snack Shack and Splashy’s Sandwich Shoppe, offer traditional options like hamburgers, hotdogs and French fries, as well as healthier meals like salads and sandwiches. It is also the only place in the county you’ll find Dippin’ Dots, a frozen treat in the form of small dots.

As a GSU student, you’re eligible for a discounted ticket price.

Bulloch County commissioners approved in late 2008 a $4 million expansion of Splash in the Boro. The expansion added three new at42 • Student Guide to Statesboro • Welcome to the Boro

tractions to the water park in 2010, and the park has seen an increase in attendance because of the additions.

They include the Mat Racer, a four-lane, 350-foot-long, racing track where Splash guests can race against each other or against the clock, and the Flowrider which creates a perpetual wave that allows riders to feel the power and acceleration of actually surfing. (There are boogie boards, as well, so you don’t have to be an expert surfer.) The third added attraction caters to the park’s youngest visitors — a zero depth spray pool that is a blast for kids who can’t swim yet.

The park also expanded the entrance to cut down on weekend lines.

The outdoor facility will close after Labor Day weekend, but the Olympic-size pool and therapy pool are enclosed with a bubble dome in October and remain open year-round.

Mill Creek Park is located off Highway 24.

For more information about the facility along with the park’s schedule and fees, contact the water park at (912) 489-3000 or go to splashintheboro.com.

local state parks picnic, hiking, day trips Bulloch County has two great state parks within easy driving distance.

George L. Smith State Park near Twin City in Emanuel County is rustic and beautiful, with a 412acre mill pond and 10 miles of canoe trails. Hiking trails take walkers through south Georgia woodlands, where they can explore local flora and fauna, then come back to a lakeside campsite or a cabin.

The refurbished Parrish Mill, built in 1880, is a focal point for visitors who enjoy the covered bridge over the dam.

The 1,634 acre park boasts 25 tent, trailer and RV sites as well as four rental cottages, picnic shelters, a group shelter and playground facilities.

Magnolia Springs State Park near Millen in Jenkins County is home to crystal clear springs and is a popular destination for visitors but was once the site of Camp Lawton, a Confederate prison built in 1864. The stockades and guard towers have been replaced with beautiful scenery, but visitors still can see the earthen breastworks and imagine the prison site.

The natural springs produce 7 million gallons of water daily, and visitors can enjoy the view from several wooden platforms stretched across the pools.

Storyboards scattered around provide historical and educational information about the springs.

A wooden bridge carries visitors across the water, providing a bird’s-eye view of local wildlife, and leads to a freshwater aquarium featuring native species of fish. The 1,071-acre park offers playgrounds, a swimming pool and hiking and biking trails, as well as a 28-acre lake.

Student Guide to Statesboro • Welcome to the Boro

For over seventeen years I have struggled with my weight. I would just stand in front of the mirror and ask myself how I let my weight get so far out of control. Often I wondered if I was an embarrassment to my boys. After developing elevated blood sugars and high blood pressure, I knew I had to do something if I was going to be around to see my boys grow up and have families of their own. After trying many diets with no success, I was at the point of just giving up. When I found out Dr. Hiller was opening a Medi-Weightloss Clinic, and he explained how the program worked I was ready to make a lifestyle change. I was determined to do it and having his support only made it easier. After losing 11 pounds my first week, I knew this was going to be the program for me. In the first month I had lost 25 pounds, had more energy, and was able to do daily activities without exhaustion.

Now after having been on the program for 7 months I have lost 102 pounds!!!!! I feel better than I have since before the birth of my first son. I am totally loving myself again!! - WENDY Statesboro, Georgia

Over the years I have tried several diets and programs in hopes of overcoming my battle with my weight. Up until now, I haven’t been able to find what truly works for me. I had the opportunity to see first hand the amazing results of the Medi-Weightloss program when a friend of mine began the program.

After months of watching her lose weight, I decided to make an appointment. I began the program and followed the guidelines given to me. During the second week I began exercising. By the end of my first month on the program I had lost 23.5 pounds. I was so excited and encouraged to continue. Each week the weight loss kept adding up and I was feeling and looking better and better. I have just completed week 28 on the program and I have lost 93.5 pounds. The results I have received from this program have greatly exceeded what I thought I was capable of accomplishing. - VIRGINIA Statesboro, Georgia

Fishing & Hunting outdoor activities

F

ishing enthusiasts might think they are in paradise when looking for a fishing hole in Bulloch County. Anyone with a fishing license can fish legally along the banks of public rivers or tributaries such as the Ogeechee River, Mill Creek, Little Lotts Creek, Upper Lotts Creek and Lower Lotts Creek.

Put a boat in at one of the Ogeechee River’s many landings and enjoy the scenery as you fish. Just make sure you aren’t on private property.

Bulloch has many lakes and ponds, and many owners will give permission to fish — as long as you ask and respect the land.

Lake Collins, also known as Deloach’s Lake, is west of Portal and borders Candler County.

The blackwater lake is fed by a creek that is home to otters, beavers, alligators and more.

The lake is privately owned, but landowners and guests have fishing rights.

Cypress Lake in southern Bulloch County near Register offers picturesque scenery, plenty of water and pole-bending fish — but most of the lake is private property.

Oglesby’s Pond feeds Lake Collins, north-

east of Portal. Another popular fishing spot is Simmons Pond off Georgia Highway 46 in the Nevils-Bay Gall area. Fishing rights memberships are available.

Bulloch County is chock-full of wildlife there for the hunting, but written permission must be obtained from landowners to make it legal if hunters want to pursue the game.

Most of the hunting areas available are private land, but nearby state-owned wildlife management areas such as Tuckahoe in Screven County offer hunting to licensed citizens. Make sure wherever you go, you have a license to hunt or fish — they are available at several local retailers county-wide.

volunteer:

making the difference

T

here are as many reasons to volunteer as there are ways to give your time in Statesboro.

Nearly 60 local groups actively seek GSU students as volunteers for unpaid jobs. The organizations provide volunteers opportunities to work with various groups, including children, the elderly and even pets.

Georgia Southern’s Office of Student Leadership and Civic Engagement encourages students who want to earn extra skills or find out if their chosen career path is right to volunteer while at school.

Organizations listed on the Office of Student Leadership’s website are all eager to get GSU students as volunteers.

Opportunities vary among the groups listed on the site. While most are charitable organizations, some have government affiliations, and others are networks of locals who are working toward a particular goal.

Students who volunteer do so for many different reasons. The most active volunteers are those who come from homes or communities where volunteering is stressed, but students who are eager 46 • Student Guide to Statesboro • Welcome to the Boro

to gain job skills before graduation also find volunteering attractive.

In addition to helping you find a career, volunteering can help you meet other students as well as people in the Bulloch County community.

The university has helped place hundreds of students in rewarding volunteer positions. Also, while many students find the idea of volunteering rewarding, many visit the office looking to satisfy a legal or class requirement — but they often return long after the requirement is satisfied.

GSU encourages volunteering among students.

Classes and groups bring in speakers from volunteer groups, and the university allows students to track the number of hours they spend volunteering.

VOLUNTEER Office: Russell Union Room 1056 Hours: Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5p.m.

Phone: (912) 478-1435 Information: http://students.georgiasouthern. edu/LeadServe/serveweekly for weekly volunteering opportunities

Community outreach: Hearts and Hands Clinic — In its fourth year of operation, the clinic continues to provide more services to low-income Bulloch County residents who lack adequate health insurance.

After being founded in Son’s Light Fellowship Baptist Church on U.S. Highway 301 South, it moved to its own space, a building at 127 N. College St. in downtown Statesboro.

Hearts and Hands provides basic health screenings and dental services for people in need of serious work. And, thanks to a nearly $25,000 grant it received this year from Susan G. Komen for the Cure Coastal Georgia, the clinic now can provide mammograms. Komen Coastal Georgia is based in Savannah and serves nine counties, including Bulloch, Bryan and Effingham.

Bulloch County had the second-highest mortality rate attributed to cancer between 2003 and 2007 in the agency’s service area, according to data compiled by the state in 2010. Between 2003 and 2007, 36 women died of cancer, and 155 cases were diagnosed.

For more information about Hearts and Hands and to volunteer, call (912) 681-9519.

a heart for service

Open Hearts Community Mission — The mission enlisted the help of Georgia Southern University students this year to design a homeless shelter.

The students in Chris Johnson’s senior-level interior design class presented their ideas to Open Hearts Director Delia Mobley as part of a semester-long project to help the charity.

The plan is to build the shelter on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. The building would be more than 4,000 square feet and have men’s and women’s wings, with 20 beds on each side, along with family rooms, offices, multipurpose rooms for activities and classes and an apartment for staff.

Open Hearts also raised $25,000 for the mission with the second annual Chocolate Run 5K in downtown Statesboro in February 2014.

The race was a resounding success, despite chilly weather, as it drew the largest crowd of any race in the Boro and was the largest local fundraiser for a local charity ever. As an incentive, race participants were given hot chocolate, chocolate chip cookies and several other forms of chocolate. Look for a third Chocolate Run 5K next spring.

SPORTS PREVIEW:

Y

ou’re new here in Statesboro, you aren’t sure what people around here do for fun, and you saw this little gem of a magazine laying in a rack or sitting on a table in a restaurant or a classroom.

It’s your lucky day, because you’re going to learn something you might not already know.

Believe it or not, Statesboro is a sports town.

There’s more tradition, history, lore and winning that has gone on right here at GSU than you possibly could have imagined.

Georgia Southern is a football school, and the program has won an unprecedented six national championships at the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) level.

This season, GSU will begin play in the Football Bowl Subdivision Sun Belt Conference.

Time to play with the big boys.

follow the Eagles

GSU football: the history

Here in Statesboro, it all starts on the gridiron.

Here’s an abbreviated history lesson.

Back in the late 70s and early 80s, a bunch of folks at Snooky’s Restaurant decided that GSU (then Georgia Southern College) needed a football team again.

They went and got a practice field (a dust farm on the banks of a drainage ditch), a football (from the K-Mart that was across the street at the time), a stadium (they borrowed Statesboro High School’s Womack Field), some uniforms (handme-downs from some SEC and ACC teams, and even some high schools), a football office (a double-wide trailer) and, finally, a head football coach (UGA’s defensive coordinator, who had just won a national championship and took the job for “$1 more” than UGA was paying him).

Student Guide to Statesboro • Welcome to the Boro • 51

The rest, they say, is history.

The drainage ditch went on to become Beautiful Eagle Creek, the footballs became plentiful, Paulson Stadium (“The Prettiest Little Stadium in America”) was built, the uniforms all ended up looking the same (although they’re still plain — just the way we like it), the trailer became the Parrish Center, and Erk Russell — that UGA defensive coordinator — won the first three of Georgia Southern’s six NCAA Division I-AA (now FCS) national championships and became a legend in Statesboro and all across America after building Eagle football from scratch.

The late Erk Russell is still well-loved by the people of Athens, who probably realize that it’s no coincidence the last UGA title came the year before he left, and the Bulldogs haven’t done squat since he arrived in Statesboro.

Folks around here still can recall him reliving tales of GSU’s storied past at Snooky’s (which closed in February 2012) and still can imagine him sitting in Paulson Stadium, smoking another victory cigar and watching the program he built from scratch continue to dominate.

Paul Johnson won the last two GSU national titles, but now he’s up at Georgia Tech, wowing Atlanta and the ACC with the offense he perfected right here in the Boro.

Then, there were a few disappointing years.

Four of them were a failed experiment with Georgia Southern and “life without the option.”

The record each of those four years: 3-8, 7-4, 6-5, 5-6.

So how did GSU fix it? They hired Paul Johnson’s option protégé Jeff Monken, that’s how. In 2010, the Eagles won 10 games and made it all the way to the national semifinals of the playoffs. In 2011, the Eagles won 11 games, won the SoCon championship and advanced to the national championship for the second consecutive year. In 2012, they did it again.

In 2013, they beat the Florida Gators.

Now, after six national titles and continued dominance, it’s time for a new challenge with firstyear head coach Willie Fritz.

men’s basketball It’s a new era of Georgia Southern basketball, and second-year head coach Mark Byington has a big challenge on his plate.

The Eagles joined the Southern Conference in 1993 and have never won the league championship.

That’s right, never.

Eric Ferguson Georgia Southern has been to the March Madness tournament three times, but the last time it happened was 1992.

Though the program’s move to the Sun Belt Conference was driven by football, GSU basketball has a chance to make a splash in basketball, too.

Eric Ferguson (pictured above) and Trent Weideman made up maybe the best frountcourt in the conference, and Jelani Hewitt, who led the SoCon in scoring, is certainly the capable of doing the same thing in the Sun Belt.

women’s basketball

Alexis Sams always has been the smallest player on the court.

Standing at 5-foot-5, the true freshman point guard is just about the smallest player in the Southern Conference and is easily the smallest at Georgia Southern.

Just don’t try to tell that to her.

take instruction. Sometimes, she’s a little too good at “being coached.”

“She’s very literal. When you tell her some thing, you’d better make sure that’s exactly what you want her to do,” laughed Vozab, “because she’s going to do it.”

Alexis Sams

“I always tell people, ‘What are you talking about? I’m not five-five, I’m six-one.’ It’s a mentality,” Sams said. “You can’t think of it as holding you back.”

She doesn’t think about it at all. In fact, until she was halfway through her high school career at Lake Brantley in Orlando, Fla., she didn’t even know how much taller everybody else was.

“I never really thought about it until probably my junior year, when I saw pictures of me playing with my team,” she said. “It was like, ‘Oh. I didn’t know I was that small.’”

GSU coach Chris Vozab doesn’t think about it, either.

“She’s fearless,” Vozab said about Sams.

“She looks little, but she’s got a huge heart, and she knows how to play.”

Vozab knew she saw something special in Sams when they were first introduced during the fall semester, before the 2012 season started.

“The first time I ever saw her play was on the court in individuals in the fall,” Vozab said. “Her skill level, her toughness, how much she loves it, her passion for the game — those things were clear right away.”

Her shooting has come a long way since she got to GSU. Vozab attributes it to Sams’ ability to

Georgia Southern’s baseball program is probably the most ready for the Sun Belt Conference, because it’s the program that regularly beats up on the big boys.

Georgia Southern has taken the series from Georgia for two years in a row and has wins over Clemson, Indiana, Georgia Tech, East Carolina, Florida and Xavier in recent years.

Georgia Southern coach Rodney Hennon has over 600 career wins and counting, and the Eagles have come to expect anything less than an appearance in the NCAA tournament a disappointment.

Hennon has been a player and coach in the SoCon since 1990 — longer than Georgia Southern was in the league — so the journey to the Sun Belt is especially new for him.

Sarah Purvis

olympic sports Georgia Southern may be a football school, but it has dominated many Olympic sports over the years.

For starters, the senior class that just graduated from the softball team is the winningest alltime in program history, and the Eagles have won either a tournament or regular-season SoCon title in each of the last three years.

Sarah Purvis is one of the all-time great athletes in GSU history. She won SoCon Pitcher of the Year three — yes, three — years in a row and tossed six no hitters, including three perfect games, in her career. She is GSU’s leader in just about every statistical pitching category.

The golf team has been perennially a favorite to win the SoCon, and things won’t be any different in the Sun Belt. In fact, in the NCAA tournament last season, GSU was the seventh seed in the Texas regional, while the Sun Belt’s champion, Georgia State, was the No. 8 seed in the same region.

54 • Student Guide to Statesboro • Welcome to the Boro

Lauren LaRocque Volleyball also has been dominant. The Eagles won the SoCon last season and matched the most wins in program history with a 28-6 record.

Dustin Wood is entering his second year as the Eagles’ coach, and he set the bar pretty high in his first campaign.

ROAD TRIPS: Savannah, Ga.

S

avannah’s more than just a name — it’s the closest “bigger” city to Statesboro, and a place that many students head to when they’re looking for fun that Bulloch County just can’t provide. It’s a 45 minute drive down Interstate 16, so it’s close enough to head to whenever you like.

If you want to dance the night away in some of the Southeast’s hottest clubs, they’re in Savannah — from country music to salsa, with techno and rock in between. The best way to find out who’s playing where in the ever-changing Savannah club scene is to pick up a copy of Connect Savannah while you’re there, or check out their website at connnectsavannah.com, where they keep the most up-todate listing of what’s going on in the clubs.

Be warned, though — Savannah’s changed their laws, and as of March 1, 2006, anyone under 21 can’t enter a bar, even just to see a band. That doesn’t mean the hopping River Street district is completely out of the question for younger folks, though. If

you’re looking for good food, the area around River Street offers lots of specialty restaurants and unique, out-of-the-way places to eat. Uptown, closer to the malls, you’ll find all the familiar chain restaurants, however.

If you’re looking for a more quiet, one-of-a-kind and romantic date atmosphere, you may want to look at a Savannah River Boat Cruise, with premier dining and entertainment. Daily cruises include sightseeing cruises, luncheons and even the occasional “Murder Afloat” cruise for amateur sleuths. Check out their schedule on the Web at savannahriverboat.com.

Sports fans can catch great minor league baseball action with the Savannah Sand Gnats.

For ticket information, call (912) 351-9150.

One of Savannah’s most popular musical venues is the Civic Center. Big-name acts perform stadium-style in the main arena, but there’s also the smaller, more intimate Johnny Mercer Theater inside the center. For ticket information and event listings, check out savannahcivic.com.

Like history? Savannah’s got plenty of it. One highlight of the city’s history is its many ghost stories, and you can hop a tour nightly to see the city’s spookier spots (savannahtours.us). If more conventional history’s your thing, there’s nearby Fort Pulaski and Fort Jackson, historical sites that date back from before the Civil War. For Fort Pulaski info, call (912) 786-5787; Fort Jackson, (912) 232-3945.

A sand-filled day at the beach is also closer than you might think. Tybee Island, located about an hour from Statesboro, provides plenty of attractions to escape the ho-hum of everyday life. Clean white beaches are waiting for those who want to spend the day, and plenty of hotels are there for a weekend escape.

You can pick up a bit of history on Tybee at the Historical Light Station and Museum.

Climb to the top of the lighthouse to capture an exciting view all the way to Hilton Head Island.

ROAD TRIPS: Atlanta, Ga.

F

rom sports to history to entertainment to cultural activities, Atlanta offers something for everyone.

At a little more than three hours away, the “Gateway to the South” is close enough to spend the day or the weekend and still make it back for class.

One of Atlanta’s newest attractions is the Georgia Aquarium. Be sure to plan to spend several hours there as it is the largest aquarium in the world.

Completed in 2005, it features more than 100,000 animals and 500 different species.

The 500,000-square-foot facility has more than 8 million gallons of fresh and salt water.

The aquarium sits on 9.5 acres adjacent to another of the city’s attractions, the Centennial Olympic Park.

The park was the site of the

1996 Olympic Games and concerts are routinely held there.

But if there isn’t any music, enjoy the Olympic Ring Fountain.

For the sports fan, Atlanta has teams from three major sports leagues — baseball, football and basketball. From the Braves and Falcons to the Hawks, Atlanta offers something for fans of any sport. Also, the Atlanta Motor Speedway hosts a NASCAR race each year.

Margaret Mitchell enthusiasts will want to check out the Gone With The Wind museum, which has the largest collection of movie memorabilia. Also, visit the Margaret Mitchell house and museum and see the typewriter on which the classic novel was written.

The Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Site offers guests information about the life

Also while in Atlanta, be sure to visit the World of Coca-Cola and learn about the birth of one of the most recognizable brands in the word. Take the time to taste some of the different soft drinks from around the world.

You can also learn about CNN while in the city.

Stone Mountain is the perfect place to have a picnic as well as taking the time to trek up the largest exposed piece of granite in the world. Be sure to check out the laser light shows at night.

Six Flags over Georgia is perfect for those who love amusement parks. From roller coasters to water rides, Six Flags has something for everyone.

ROAD TRIPS: Jacksonville, Fla.

J

acksonville, the largest city in Florida, sits near the top of the state like a Welcome Wagon for travelers from Georgia.

In 2010, Jacksonville ranked as the United States’ 11th most populous city, with 821,784 residents. About 25 miles south of the Georgia border, Jacksonville is in the First Coast region of northeast Florida and is centered on the banks of the St. Johns River. Jacksonville is home to dozens of events.

The Art Walk, a monthly outdoor art festival on the first Wednesday of each month, is sponsored by Downtown Vision, Inc., an organization that works to promote artistic talent and venues on the First Coast.

One of the most popular sporting events is the annual Gate River Run, the US National Championship 15K since 1994 and largest 15K race in the country. The 9.3 mile race has taken place every March since 1977.

The Jacksonville Jazz Festival is held every spring and is the second-largest jazz festival in the

nation. Springing the Blues is a free outdoor blues festival held in Jacksonville Beach, in April.

The Jacksonville Film Festival is held every May and features a variety of independent films, documentaries, and shorts screening at seven historic venues in the city. Past attendees of the festival have included director John Landis and Academy Award nominee Bill Murray and winner Graham Greene, both were awarded the Tortuga Verde Lifetime Achievement Award.

The Greater Jacksonville Agricultural Fair is held every November at the Jacksonville Fairgrounds & Exposition Center, featuring an array of carnival games & rides, food, live entertainment, vendor merchandise booths and agriculture/livestock exhibition & judging.

The Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens boasts the second largest animal collection in the state.

The zoo features elephants, lions, and, of course, jaguars, as well as a multitude of reptile houses, free flight aviaries and many other animals.

The Veterans Memorial Wall is a somber and moving tribute to local servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice by giving their lives for our country.

A ceremony is held each Memorial Day recognizing any service woman or man from Jacksonville who died in the previous year.

The Treaty Oak is a massive, 200 year-old tree at Jesse Ball Dupont Park in downtown. Office workers from nearby buildings sit on benches to eat lunch or read a book in the shade of its canopy.

The city center includes the Jacksonville Landing and the Jacksonville Riverwalks. The Landing is a popular riverfront dining and shopping venue, accessible by River Taxi from the Southbank Riverwalk. Shipwreck Island in Jacksonville Beach is the only waterpark in Duval County. It opened in 1995 and changes rides every few years to keep the season passholders coming back.

ROAD TRIPS: Charleston, S.C.

C

harleston was founded as Charlestown or Charles Towne, Carolina in 1670, and moved to its present location (Oyster Point) from a location on the west bank of the Ashley River in 1680; it adopted its present name in 1783.

The population was estimated to be 120,083 in 2010, making it the second most populous city in South Carolina closely behind the state capital, Columbia.

Charleston annually hosts Spoleto Festival USA, a 17-day art festival featuring over 100 performances by individual artists in a variety of disciplines.

Charleston’s “other” festival is the MOJA Arts Festival, which is a major, two-week celebration of African-American and Caribbean arts, music and culture.

The Southeastern Wildlife Exposition is also held in the city, as well as the Food + Wine Festival, Family Circle Tennis Cup, Cooper River Bridge Run and the Maritime Festival, which is held annually in May and features tall ships, boatbuilding, and the Charleston to Bermuda Race.

In 2007 Charleston Fashion Week made its first appearance and was a huge success. It is held by the fashion publication Charleston Magazine and now will be an annual event in the city.

It is like most of the major fashion weeks in other major cities.

As an old, colonial city, Charleston has a wide variety of museums and historical attractions. The Old Exchange and Customs House in downtown Charleston, finished in 1771, is arguably the third most important Colonial building in the nation (behind Faneuil Hall in Boston and Independence Hall in Philadelphia). The building features a dungeon which held various signers of the Declaration of Independence, and hosted events for George Washington in 1791, and the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1788. It has also served as a U.S. post office, the first Confederate post office, and was used by the United States Coast Guard.

Not far from Charleston is Fort Moultrie, which was instrumental in delivering a critical

Patriots Point, located across the river in nearby Mount Pleasant, is also home to the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown as well as several other naval vessels.

There are also several former plantations in the area, including Boone Hall Plantation, Drayton Hall, Magnolia Plantation and Middleton Place. The Charleston Tea Plantation is located just south of the city on Wadmalaw Island, and is a true working tea farm.

Charleston’s premier art museum is the Gibbes Museum of Art, one of the country’s oldest art organizations and home to over 10,000 works of fine art.

Also the Charleston Museum was the first museum in the Americas.

Other attractions include the South Carolina Aquarium, the Audubon Swamp Garden, Cypress Gardens and Charles Towne Landing.

ROAD TRIPS: Augusta, Ga.

A

ugusta was named in honor of Augusta, Princess of Wales, daughter-in-law of King George II of Great Britain and mother of King George III of Great Britain, and was the second state capital of Georgia from 1785 until 1795 (alternating for a period with Savannah, the first. Augusta is located on the Georgia/South Carolina border, about 150 miles east of Atlanta.

It is the second largest city and second largest metropolitan area in the state.

Augusta is the birthplace of the Southern Baptist denomination, and the location of Springfield Baptist Church, the oldest autonomous AfricanAmerican Baptist church in the nation. Morehouse College was founded in the basement of the church. African-American history is honored at the Lucy Craft Laney museum. Various religious denominations have erected churches in downtown Augusta, which are now historical landmarks such as Saint Paul’s Church and Sacred Heart

Cultural Center.

Built in 1914, The Butt Memorial Bridge was placed in memory of Archibald Butt. It was the first memorial in the world to the RMS Titanic, and is the only such memorial in Georgia.

Augusta’s official nickname is The Garden City. It is also known as Masters City, since it plays host to the Masters Golf Tournament. In hip-hop circles, the city is referred to as “The A.U.G.” The city adopted the motto, “We Feel Good,” in recognition of native son and soul music legend James Brown. The city also dedicated a statue to James Brown, which is located downtown at the Augusta Common.

Augusta also has a wellestablished arts community.

Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art, Morris Museum of Art, Artists Row and the Art Council are just a few in the art community. The Augusta Symphony, Augusta Choral Society, Augusta Players and the Augusta Ballet also perform for audiences. Each fall, the

city hosts the Arts in the Heart of Augusta Festival downtown and Westobou Festival — two major arts showcases.

Augusta’s “downtown” culture has also blossomed in the past decade, allowing many new businesses to open and flourish within the city. Broad Street in downtown Augusta is host to many different bars and music clubs that have enjoyed a period of prosperity since the institution of “First Friday,” which is celebrated on the first Friday night of each month. The atmosphere is carnival-like in nature and has helped many of the businesses rake in more profits since its institution over a decade ago.

The Savannah River is a crucial part of Augusta’s founding and history. Visitors can walk along the Savannah River on the Augusta Riverwalk in downtown. The Augusta Marina rents boats for a fun day on the river.

Now, tourists can ride along the Augusta Canal, which was built in 1845 as a power source, in a Petersburg boat.

GSU School HIstory school spirit Over the past 108 years, Georgia Southern has been shaped into the school it is today through the efforts of faculty, staff, donors, legislators and members of the community who believed in the school and its mission to educate.

J.I. Clements Stadium Clements Stadium is named after former Hall of Fame baseball coach J.I. Clements. It serves as the home to the Georgia Southern Eagles baseball team. Recent renovations included expanding the stadium to 3,000 seats, replacing the ticket gates and press box, adding more and better public restrooms, and rebuilding both the home and visitor field dugouts. During his time at Georgia Southern, Clements served as athletic business manager, athletic director, and coach to both the basketball and baseball teams.

His 1962 baseball team’s national championship was the first ever for the school, which also took second place in the nation in 1960 and third place in the nation in 1964. Clements was inducted into the United States Baseball Federation Hall Of Fame, the American Baseball Coaches Federation Hall Of Fame, and the Georgia Athletic Hall Of Fame. Clements was even named the NAIA Baseball Coach of the Year in 1963, and served on the United States’ Olympic Baseball Committee in 1964.

Foy Fine Arts Building The Foy Building was named for Jessie Ponita Foy (1898-1942). The Foy Building, houses administration offices of CLASS and the Department of Music. Mr. Foy was a naval stores farmer (turpentine, rosin, tar, pitch), a planter, and a cotton gin owner. He was a member of the States-

boro Chamber of Commerce. Betty Bird Foy, his daughter, was Georgia Gov. Carl Sanders’ wife, who sponsored seven fine arts buildings throughout the University System of Georgia.

Parrish Football Center The Parrish Football Center is named for Dan J. Parrish, Sr. The Parrish Football Center is the headquarters of Georgia Southern’s football program. The building has 10 coaches’ offices, a special video studio, equipment rooms, staff and team meetings rooms, locker rooms, a reception area, and a designated recruitment room. It also has space for all of Georgia Southern’s championship trophies. In 1948, Parrish started the Parrish Banking Company, leaving to become chairman of the Metter Banking Company. Parrish was a long-time member of the Southern Boosters. A mayor of Metter, he was also a charter member of the board of directors of the Metter Chamber of Commerce and a member of the Candler County Board of Education. He also helped found the Candler County Development Authority. Parrish was both a president of the Metter Kiwanis Club, a founder of the Metter Rotary Club, and a member of the Metter Masonic Lodge.

Anderson Hall was named for Jefferson Randolph Anderson (1861-1950). There have actually been two Anderson Halls. The first, “old” Anderson Hall, was renamed the F.I. Williams Center in 1959. It was used as the student center and dining room and had married student dorms.

Anderson Hall

The Office of Marketing and Communications now use the second, formerly the East Hall Women’s Residential Hall.

Anderson was instrumental in getting Statesboro selected as site of First District Agricultural and Mechanical School.

He was named the first chairman of Board of Trustees of FD A&M just as they prepared to select the site where the school would be built. He was the president of Savannah and Statesboro Railway Company, president of the Georgia and Alabama Terminal Company, was on the Board

Student Guide to Statesboro • Welcome to the Boro • 79

of Directors for Savannah Electric Company. He served in the Georgia Hussars, was a Second Lieutenant in Savannah Volunteer Guards, a member of Savannah Yacht Club, vice president of the Oglethorpe Club and a member of the Savannah Golf Club. He also belonged to the Georgia Historical Society and was a member of Royal Arch Masons, the Knights of Pythias, the Order of Elks, and the Sons of the American Revolution.

Anderson was a Georgia legislator, was elected as president of Georgia Senate, and was a delegate to the Georgia Democratic Committee.

Hanner Fieldhouse The Hanner Fieldhouse was named after William Sheppard Hanner, or “Mr. Shep,” as he was known (1897-1959). The first building consisted of a gymnasium for athletics and physical education. The Hanner Complex, which houses the Intercollegiate Sports program, Health and Kinesiology Labs, and the Physical Activity Center, was constructed later.

Hanner served as both the backfield and tennis coach, was the chairman of the Faculty Athletic Committee, and was the chairman of the Division of Exact Sciences.

Carruth Building The Carruth Building was named for Joseph Enoch Carruth (1881-1955). It first served as the Arts and Industry Building, serving the areas of industrial arts and art education. Today, however, it serves as the center for construction management, civil engineering technology, and manufacturing departments at the college.

Carruth was a professor of Education from 1928-1947; as well as establishing and running the college’s Teacher Training Laboratory School.

Cone Hall Cone Hall was named for Howell Cone (18801952). While it was originally a men’s residence hall, it now houses than Jiann-Ping Hsu College 80 • Student Guide to Statesboro • Welcome to the Boro

of Public Health, the Student Disability Resource Center and the Academic Success Center. Howell Cone was legal counsel and the city court solicitor for Statesboro. Cone served on the First District A&M Board of Trustees. He was president of the Statesboro Chamber of Commerce and was also a Georgia state legislator in the1920s.

Veazy Hall

Veazey Hall was named after Miss Mamie Veazey (1886-1955), or Miss Mamie, as she was known. Originally used as a freshman women’s residential hall, it became a coeducational residential hall. It is now the Communication Arts Building. Veazey was the Dean of Women at the college from 1930-1952, and also was a geography instructor.

Herty Building The Herty Building was named after Dr. Charles Holmes Herty (1867-1938). At first it housed the Science, Business Education, and the Home Economics Department. It was then remodeled, and designated to house the Chemistry, Biology, and Physics departments. Currently, it houses the Geology and Geography Departments and several other programs. Dr. Herty is best known for his development of the Herty Cup in 1907. Hearing of his invention, several prominent naval stores agents were so interested that they paid for Herty’s field expenses. While on leave from UGA, he performed experiments on some 400 trees in McDougald, Outland, and Company forests (now part of the GSU campus).

His “cups” allowed harvesters to extract turpentine without killing the trees. A Milledgeville chemist, Herty also established the Savannah Pulp and Paper Laboratory, which developed a process creating newsprint that required less ink and was much more pliable. This allowed the papers to be made from Georgia Yellow Pine, instead of the much more expensive Canadian Pine. The president of Union Bag said his company moved to Savannah only because of Herty’s

new newsprint process. Herty eventually established the Herty Foundation, which currently funds experiments in mechanical and chemical innovations to lessen waste and be more environmentally friendly.

Bennett-Ramsey Golf Center

Georgia Southern’s Bennett-Ramsey Golf Center is named after Holmes Ramsey and Christian Bennett. Located three miles from the main campus, the new 25-acre, $1.8 million golf practice facility consists of separate 8,000, 9,000- and 12,000-square- foot practice greens, a practice putting green, a two-tiered practice teeing area, a driving range, and short game practice range. Ramsey, a long-time Georgia Southern golf supporter, had a piece of property in Statesboro that he felt was perfect for this facility. He and Bennett, a professional golfer who competed on both national and international tours, provided funding to purchase the property at a greatly reduced price. Robert Baker, owner of R.B. Baker Construction and a Southern Booster Board member, along with Paul Massey of Tifton Turf Farms, another long-time Georgia Southern golf supporter, made this idea a reality.

The Bennett-Ramsey Golf Center will be one of the top such facilities in the entire country.

Rosenwald Building The Rosenwald Building was named after Julius Rosenwald (1862-1932). Originally used as the college’s library, the college built an annex to the building some 25 years later. The main building is now the home of the GSU Museum, and the annex houses the Offices of Financial Aid, Registrar, and Human Resources. He started the Julius Rosenwald Fund in 1917 which established more than 5,000 Rosenwald Schools in the largely black communities in the South (including the Willow Hill School in Bulloch County) and 4,000 Rosenwald Libraries (including the Rosenwald Library at Georgia Southern) in small college towns across the nation. Rosenwald (through the Rosenwald Fund) paid for half of the library construction cost. In addition, for many years, the fund has supported 30 student scholarships and one faculty salary at GSU.

Rosenwald was an astute businessman. In 1895, he and his brother-in-law bought half of Sears and Roebuck for $75,000. Shortly thereafter, he was named the Sears Roebuck and Company vice president and treasurer from 1895-1910, the president from 1910-1925, and the chairman of the board from 1925-1932.

Brannen Hall

Brannen Hall was a sophomore women’s residential hall named for Harvey D. Brannen (1886-1940). Brannen was an insurance man and lawyer. He represented the 49th District in both the Georgia House and Senate. Brannen Hall closed as a residence hall at the end of spring semester in 2011. It recently was renovated to house the Department of Psychology, the Office of the Institutional Effectiveness, and the Office of Strategic Research and Analysis.

Landrum Dining Commons

The Landrum Dining Center (dedicated in 1966) was named for Blanche Mitchell Landrum (1889-1938). It housed the college’s student center, cafeteria, and post office (school students, faculty and staff actually had “Landrum numbers” instead of post office boxes assigned to them until 1966.) Landrum served six years as the college’s dietitian. Her son, Phillip Mitchell Landrum, was the 9th District U.S. Congressional Representative for 24 years.

Landrum Dining Center was demolished in Spring 2012. Lakeside Cafe began major renovation in Spring 2012, too.

Both reopened last fall. The new Landrum Dining Commons houses the Eagle Card Center, Printing and Postal Services and the Dining Commons.
