It Seems, Works by Malaika Favorite
On Sunday, February 7,
2010, the Beach Institute will
open the first exhibit in the
2010 series, A New Vision
for the Arts.
Nothing Is As It

conjunction with the King-
Tisdell Cottage Foundation,
will salute local artist Ligel
Lambert with the opening of

NOTHING IS AS IT
SEEMS is a series of works
inspired in part by the poem,
WE WEAR THE MASK by
Paul Laurence Dunbar, and
by the artist’s continuing
study of the choices people
make and the consequences
that result from those choic
es.
The latest collection by
Ms. Favorite, this series of 3-
D mixed media pieces and
wall pieces based on
‘‘Choices and Consequences”
emphasizes making choices
and possible results. The
works are designed to pro
mote discussion about these
choices we make in life.
Ms. Favorite is an artist
and writer living in Augusta,
Georgia. She received her
BFA and MFA from
Louisiana State University,
Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She
has shown nationally in a
number of group and solo
exhibitions and she was
recently commissioned to
produce her second large

Remembers, for the City of

Cola Company, Atlanta, GA.,

Final Phase of Truman Parkway
Construction to Begin
The Georgia
Department of
Transportation has award
ed a $67.5 million contract
for construction of the fifth
and final phase of the
Harry S. Truman Parkway.
Work should begin
this spring or summer on
the extension from
Whitefield Avenue to
Abercorn Street with com
pletion anticipated by
2014.
Balfour Beatty
Infrastructure, Inc., of
Wilmington, NC, was
awarded the contract, val
ued at $67,494,183, to
extend the four-lane divid
ed highway the final two
miles, which will include
building bridges across
theWilshire Canal and
Vernon River.
“The Department is
delighted that we finally
can finish this important
project,” Georgia DOT
Commissioner Vance C.
Smith. Jr., said. “The
Truman Parkway has
become a vital component
of providing both better
mobility and economic
development for Savannah
and Chatham County.
Obviously, it’s taken us
awhile to get to this point.
Local officials and legisla
tors have been steadfast in
their support and that
helped enormously in
keeping the parkway at the
forefront of our priorities.”
“We would like to
thank the members of our
legislative delegation,
Georgia DOT
Commissioner Vance C.
Smith and the members of
the State Transportation
Board for providing the
funds to finally complete
the fifth phase of the
Truman Parkway,”
Chatham County
Commission Chairman
Pete Liakakis said. “This
project will be both a ter
rific boost to our infra
structure and to our local
economy.”
The concept of the
Truman Parkway has been
discussed and under con
sideration since the mid-
1960s. Construction
began in 1990 and that
first phase, from DeRenne
Avenue to Henry Street,
opened in 1993.
Phase Two, from
Henry to President Street,
followed in 1997;
DeRenne to Montgomery
Cross Road constituted
Phase Three and opened in
2004; Phase Four from
Eisenhower Drive to
Whitefield Avenue opened
in 2005. The total cost for
these four segments was
approximately $95 mil
lion.
