The Plains of the Serengeti

Smith-Northview leads a safari of a show

VALDOSTA — Rucha and Shamb Purohit turn the halls of Smith-Northview Hospital into “The Plains of the Serengeti.”

This exciting art exhibit features safari photographs of elephant herds, zebra, lions and more big cats. The Purohits also catch sight of the people and topography. Viewers will discover intimate glimpses of colorful flowers as well as sweeping vistas of land as far as the eye can see.

In addition to sharing their experiences through the camera lens, the Purohits share profits from the sell of these works with others. Seventy-five percent of profits go toward the Boys & Girls Club and The Haven, 12.5 percent of proceeds go toward the Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts, and the remaining 12.5 percent goes toward the Smith-Northview Auxiliary.

Smith-Northview Hospital hosts exhibits featuring area artists on a regular basis.



Rucha and Shamb Purohit’s “The Plains of the Serengeti” is on exhibit for the next few weeks at Smith-Northview Hospital, 4280 North Valdosta Road.

  • gardenkids.jpg Children help garden, community grow

    This is the story of a garden, but it is also the story of how two needs were met in a small backyard in Valdosta. How a physically challenged couple has come to love the weekly visits of nearly two dozen children and how those youngsters have learned a sense of community by, what Jane Teasley calls, “planting it forward.” It is a story of not only how a garden grows but how friendships and a sense of community can grow.

    He was created in the late 1930s during a period when dictatorships were spreading across Europe. Superman came into being during the end of the Great Depression, at a time when the world was about to be steeped in a terrible global conflict.

    Dan Brown’s “Inferno” is one of those books that you either have already bought, already read, plan to buy or plan to read, or simply have no interest in it at all, and no review will likely keep anyone from reading it or encourage anyone not already interested to open it.

    Paint may well be in their blood. That and talent. Before going any further, it may help to name the players and getting their relationships straight. Think of Esther Arthur as the grandmother then there’s her daughter, D. Arthur McBride. Then, there are McBride’s two sons, Thomas M. Thomson and Ron Thomson, who are, of course, Arthur’s grandsons. Each is an artist in her and his own right. Each impressive in their specific styles and skill sets.
