Burn bans set in
eastern counties
BY STEPHANIE METZEN
STAFF WRITER
Some families in coastal North
Carolina might find an empty sky
this Fourth of July.
The hum ban called in response
to the wildfires that continue to
rage in Washington, Hyde and
'lVrrell counties led town officials to
cancel the fireworks display sched
uled for Washington's Summer
Festival earlier this month, and
the ban could mean no fireworks
for Independence Day, either.
But the impact on the counties
affected by the forest fires mostly
has been limited to smoke con
cerns, said Chris Meggs. a spokes
man for the N.C. Division of Forest
Resources.
'The towns haven't lost any
buildings or structures,” he said.
"Mostly it is getting a lot better ...
they are used to smoke, but not
this amount."
Meggs said people and busi
nesses are operating relatively
normally, though there has been a
slowdown in traffic, as the smoke
makes it more difficult to drive.
In addition to the definite odor
permeating the air, Meggs said,
there are some health concerns.
The division of air quality
declared a 'very unhealthy’ code
purple, the most extreme status
possible, due to the amount of
matter in the air.
David Peoples. Washington
County manager, said people in
the area immediately near the fire
had to evacuate their homes for
several days but since have been
able to return.

University of North Carolina.
James Moeser will be spend

of his other weeks of the past
eight years, having his schedule
planned for him and meeting
with other administrators.

He's also in high demand, and
will be appearing at speaking
engagements at East Carolina
University and the University of
Texas at Austin by the year’s end.
Moeser said even though he
will not be a part of the admin

up boxes for the move from his
Chancellor’s Residence to anoth

“I will probably walk on this

Moeser’s presence brought
innovation to dealing with issues
from increasing enrollment of
underprivileged students to
increasing faculty salaries with
intense fundraising campaigns.
