WE THE PEOPLE
Follow Chase Finch

This year as always, July 4th found my two large dogs cowering under the bed for fear of the explosions in the sky. No point in explaining to them the significance of Independence Day, or the merits of the brave soldiers whose lives bought our freedom; Its the same every year. Two otherwise impressive retrievers, shivering like babies, hiding from the fireworks above. I wonder if we, as a whole, are starting to feel just as apathetic about the reason for the season. This generation has seen a whole culture of widespread patriotism head straight out the window, and why not? Until now, weve had no choice but to assume that American processes were built on American values. The world became transparent, and its clear that even in America, people are mistreated, government is bureaucratic, and finances are in ruins. However, this years celebration is one of hope. Taking a cue from Facebook and todays ever-connected business landscape, it seems that transparency can also bring a deeper kind of trust. American values are golden, and Ive been impressed by governmental strides to give us a real voice in how to stay true to those values. With agility and participation, we may yet redefine how we the people run our nation.

No Smoke and Mirrors

By Matt Morgan, Producer/Owner Sit-N-Spin Recording Studios There is a lot to be said about honesty, especially if it just comes naturally, like breathing. How a person comes and goes in this world frequently goes unnoticed. When I am around an artist that is genuinely honest, I always tend to notice. In fact, I tend to do more than just notice. I listen. As a producer, I get paid to listen. But there is a big difference in forcing yourself to listen and forcing yourself not to. There have been a few artists that have come through my studio that have made me rethink what I do and how I do it. Kathy Kelley is one of them. The way she crafts a song is just pure. Theres no smoke and mirrors, no hiding behind studio magic, just honest songs written because they had to come out somehow. Spending time in the studio with Kathy, you might hear Im sorry a few dozen times, and Im not sure if I like that. She is the typical singer-songwriter in that she thinks her guitar playing sucks and is just a necessary evil to write her songs. Further, you might even hear her complain about her voice. But at that point everyone in earshot just yells shut up, because her voice sounds like an angel. In fact, on rst hearing Kathys debut album Buck Up Little Camper, you would think she was a seasoned pro. Most of the songs on the record stay loosely in the lines of what is called Americana. But Buck Up Little Camper also ventures into folk and blues. And her lyrics take you behind the wall all of us put up to be safe in our own little worlds. Kathy has found a place in her lyrics where that wall is not necessary. If fact she gladly invites you in, and offers you some sweet tea. My advice, enjoy the tea.

Greenville has made a name for itself when it comes to developing green spaces for the entire community to enjoy. The creation of the Swamp Rabbit Trail, stretching from Travelers Rest through downtown Greenville, adds many miles of beautiful paths for bicycling, walking and running that not only attract local residents, but tourists as well. The success of these projects and a move toward trail-based tourism around the country has inspired a new variety of landscape designers.

Ride Garden, LLC is the brainchild of a group of Upstate friends from differing backgrounds who share
a passion for non-traditional sports and enhancing communities through outdoor recreation while protecting the environment. The partners utilize their own skills and strategic partnerships with other area businesses to create innovative parks that are destined to become examples for communities far beyond the Upstate. John Darrohn, of Darrohn Engineering, has 20 years experience as a civil engineer and has played a key role in several noteworthy projects around the Upstate, including the Swamp Rabbit Trail. John is a fteen-year member of the Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association, or SORBA, a non-prot advocacy group that promotes land access, trail preservation, and sustainable trail development in order to enhance mountain bike touring, racing, fun, and fellowship for all mountain bicyclists in the southeastern United States. Since relocating to Greenville from his hometown of Charleston, John has continued to increase his role in supporting local bicycling advocacy efforts. Most recently John has been working on the development of Greenvilles Bicycle Master Plan, a plan which serves as a roadmap for future bicycling facilities. Matt McClain is the founder/President of Ground Industries, an internationally-recognized leader in the sport of mountain boarding, and part owner of Invert Action Sports, a skate and surf lifestyle retail store on River Street in Greenvilles West End. McClains entry into the mountain board market at its infancy nearly ten years ago gave him a unique perspective on the challenges non-traditional sports enthusiasts face when seeking to commune with other riders. Both men share an interest in protecting and enhancing the environment while providing recreational opportunities that the entire community can enjoy. Darrohn and McClain are joined by Richard Guilmette and Tom Sears. Guilmette, a long-time mountain boarder, has parlayed his professional riding and building experience into park-building. Guilmette has overseen the construction of various southeastern mountain bike and board riding centers, most recently High Ground, an extreme mountain board and mountain bike terrain park at Beech Mountain Ski Resort in North Carolina. Sears, a Greenville native and Furman alumni, is an attorney and avid outdoor enthusiast. Sears has the belief that local expansion of recreational opportunities is a great concept for continuity and growth as it connects different communities in the Upstate in a meaningful, active way. It also showcases one of the best regions in the country for outside activity and enjoyment.

Ride Garden specializes in sustainable, ride-able, trails and terrain gardens that invite the community to interact with unique environmental features while enjoying beautiful and innovative landscape architecture during the recreational experience. They use onsite, recyclable and reusable materials that are both natural and manmade. One of the foundations of the Ride Garden vision is to create riding features of artistic design with clear organic expression says McClain. It is critical to our mission that we perform a full inventory of a particular site, making notes of important historical and natural features to protect or enhance. We look for opportunities to harvest and reclaim from the land, which can greatly reduce costs normally necessary for building materials. The City of Pickens has recently engaged Ride Garden to join Greenville in expanding Upstate residents opportunities to come together and enjoy their community. Pickens intends to develop Town Creek Park into a recreational destination with numerous trails and other elements. The parcel is a 90+ acre tract of underutilized land in the heart of downtown Pickens, just 30 minutes from Downtown Greenville. Ride Gardens can be grown in all sizes: simple, technical skill sites, where riders can practice jumping and navigating more challenging terrain in an approachable environment. And, as in the case of Town Creek Park, a compilation of trails and ride gardens from rollercoaster-style boardwalks to innovative environmental features. Each garden has its own character and purpose, allowing park goers to choose their adventure. Traditional features such as a dog park and picnic sites are also included. This will be a destination for the entire region and beyond. Furthermore, Town Creek Park is only one part of an even more ambitious plan in the works. Ride Garden is developing a master plan for Pickens County, called PELCOR, which refers to the Pickens/Easley/Liberty Corridor. The three cities have passed resolutions locally supporting PELCOR. The PELCOR initiative will place Pickens County among the most progressive communities in the country through the development of bicyclefriendly corridors that link parks in the three communities, Town Creek Park included. Greenville has made a name for itself as an example of how to build a successful and thriving community through thoughtful development that places an emphasis on outdoor gathering spaces. As the Upstate continues to recognize the benets of responsible growth, surrounding communities and businesses are joining Greenville in reinventing themselves in ways that will both facilitate economic growth and community spirit. Ride Garden is another example of how one good idea leads to another. To grow a Ride Garden in your community, please contact Matt McClain at matt@ridegardens.com. Ride on!

Cover Artist Guy

Stevens

The Interplay of light and texture is a prominent inuence on the choice of subject and technique. I think of myself as an expressionist. I am an intuitive expressive colorist, striving to give the viewer a sense of uplifting inner connection to my images. The artist true education and self discovery began after he graduated from Furman University with a degree in the visual arts in 1970. Forty years later Guy has painted and sold paintings all over the world. During the same time frame, he has worked in nine studio-galleries in downtown Greenville, SC and has painted for months at a time in studios in NYC, Munich, Bermuda, Montreal, Paris and San Francisco. Guy Stevens is a pioneer of color and vibrancy. Although he has drawn from many impressionist and expressionist masters, his style is atypical. When you stand in front of a Guy Stevens painting, you feel as though you have been transported to an alternate reality. Each of Guys paintings is a still-shot of the visual poetry that lives within the artist. The Paintings of Guy Stevens offer us a travelogue of splendid fantasies and dreamlike narratives, and while his subject matter varies, his essential style is consistent. Employing amboyant colors, his at lyrical shapes suggest qualities of both primitive and impressionistic art. He often adopts an elevated view point giving his work a tilt in perspective that channels extraordinary energy and movement . He draws us into the moment with an explosion of color, which culminates in a celebration of life. - Kris Kline, Director Gallery Now Guy Stevens Studio 101, Art Crossing at RiverPlace, Downtown Greenville, SC (864) 915-8427

A Holier Man
The cool of a Beat poet, the soul of a Monk, and the scholarly trappings of a Professor, Gene Krcelic speaks with clarity and force, while bouncing his wisdom in a rhythm that keeps you awake.
- Joey Elwood - President, Gotee Records
Theres no one quite like Gene Krcelicno category of personality I can pigeon-hole him into but a description is necessary. Gene oozes into your brain like a gentle creative stimulant. There is an almost rap quality to the way he talks as ideas burst forth with a tone of wonder and comfort. His manner has become reassuring after all the years of trials and tribulations. Gene has found his truth and this clarity in thought and action makes him compelling. Answers arent solutions to him anymore actions are. Witnessing this transformation in an old friend is extremely rewarding and seeing his mind at peace is inspirational. I am not a book critic nor do I want to play one inside these pages, but if you are looking to read a unique perspective on one mans travels to a higher plain then get Genes new book. Jay Spivey

Delegation is not a four-letter word

The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it. Theodore Roosevelt

Follow Jordana

Okay, Ill admit it: the art of delegation is not something that comes easily to me. I have a personality built on doing and getting done, and to delegate means I have to give up the one thing I dont ever want to give upcontrol. Maybe this makes me a control freak. Alright, this definitely makes me a control freak. But I envy people I see who can turn around, point at someone, and give them something to do. Ive seen enough business people and politicians who can do just thatask anyone to do anything. One of the people who pops into mind asked a janitor to answer his phone while he was in the middle of a photoshoot. It was amazing to me that he could give that phone call up so easily. After all, he didnt know who was on the other end of that call! What if something important happened? Control is hard for me. I follow it, almost desperately; knowing that at the end is the reward and the ownership. Not even externallyI dont need verbal affirmation as much as I need a feeling of accomplishment. But the flip side is that when overworked, something must fall through the cracks, and that ownership is mine, as well. Delegation has seemed almost. egotistical.to me for so long, and I think it seems that way to others, too. To delegate seems like I just have too much going on. Which, in a mind like mine, can transform into my stuff is more important than your stuff. I hate feeling like that, on either side of the coin. But what Ive realized (and only recently realized) is that its more arrogant of me to not give up a phone call, a reminder, a letter or some organization. Then, its me saying, theres no way you can do this as well as I can. Someone else might not do something the same way I would, or at the same speed, or even with the same result, but it doesnt mean anything except that they are different. And thats a refreshing thing to keep me on my toesconstantly learning, constantly thinking. Delegation isnt a four-letter word. Its not a bad or self-important thing to do. Its simply a way to get everything that needs to be done, done. And lets face it: all of us have more to do than we can do. So, what are you not delegating?

Ive Been Cheated!

By Lee Ann Carter Exactly two years ago I was preparing to sail to the Bahamas. My itinerary included exploring the islands for a couple of months then continuing south to points unknown. I lived on a boat. The weather was constantly hot, the way it was suppose to be. In fact, my favorite phrase at the time was, I want it so warm that the sweat just drips off my little round brown body. Now Im sure youve heard that phrase, If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. Well, he was getting ready to get quite the chuckle because of me. It was a Friday afternoon when the call came informing me that my daughter was very ill. All thoughts of sailing anywhere went right out of my head as I immediately packed a bag and headed up I-95 for a 14 hour drive with nothing but a small brown dog for company. My emergency trip morphed into a two-week stay and I began to realize how much I had been missing an upstate summer. The early morning walk with the dog was almost cool and the middle of the day pleasant. Warm, but because of lower humidity, not overly oppressive. Numerous factors, including the weather, played heavily into my decision to relocate here end of summer 2010, which by my recollection was of an average temperature range. Lets fast forward to this spring, shall we? Spring 2011. The calendar shows it was there but what happened to it? I know Ive been busy but did I miss an entire season? Where was my mountain like mornings, cool with a bit of mist in the air? My afternoons where I could bike or walk and barely break a sweat? Evenings that would be a bit nicer with a light sweater?

This year the dog days of summer started early with the puppy years of spring and I dont like it. Ive been cheated! I want a do-over! A refund mailed to my address ASAP, please! This sultry steamy weather is better suited to the tropicals of which I have been there, done that, have numerous t-shirts to prove it. Little if any consolation is when I turn on the Weather Channel and see that the entire United States for the most part is feeling the effects of this seemingly never ending heat wave. That is except for the Northwest part of the country; Oregon, Washington State, the California mountains. Hmmm, anyone up for a road trip?

A DOSE OF

The Cabin on Fourth Lake

By Tim ONeill

F iction

What was that? Julie asked, as wide-eyed and alert as shes ever been. What was what? Mark returned, starting to get irritated at her continuing jump at every sound. It was supposed to be a relaxing, and hopefully romantic, getaway on the lake for just the two of them. But Mark soon realized the isolation of the cabin that he thought would inspire relaxation and romance, served only to stimulate Julies (previously) hidden fears of bear attacks, coyote maimings and the possible run-ins with hockey-loving serial killers. It was autumn and the lake and surrounding mountains were a picture postcard of Adirondack beauty. During the day, Julie and Mark hiked and took pictures and rode horses and paddled the lake and did all the things a couple of urban tourists might do at the end of another season. But once the sun went down and they were back at the cabin, the stillness of the lake and the darkness of the sky seemed to work in direct contrast to Mark amorous intentions. The loons cry, which changes octave and carries so effortlessly throughout the entire lake, sounded like a trumpet of despair and played like the part of a movie score youd hear just before the killer attacked. At least it did to Julie. And the caws that emitted from the unseen murder of crows, sounded, in fact, like someone was getting murdered. The squirrels and raccoons foraging for food in the darkness, sounded eerily similar to the noise an escaped mental patient carrying a machete would make just before he lopped off the head of his next victim. And the settling of the old cabin as the seasons changed gave cause to Julie ordering Mark to investigate the cabin at least three times a night. On their last night at the cabin, as they sat around a roaring outdoor re, Mark decided that instead of being irritated with her nervousness, he would play into it and have a little fun. He knew it was only a matter of time before she gave him the perfect set up, and around 11:30 that night, she did. Has anyone ever been killed on this lake? She asked, not really wanting to know the answer.

32

Um, I dont know, he said, intentionally appearing to skirt the question. You want another smore? She took the bait. If you know something, you better tell me! She ordered. And he sat back and began to tell the tale. It was about six years ago, he began. They called him the Fourth Lake Killer, because he killed three people on this very lake. I guess he sees himself as some sort of defender of the loons or something. One time someone left some rat poison out or something and four loons died from it. The guy that left out the poison was ned, but nothing serious. And then at the end of the season, he was found stabbed in the heart with a loon feather sticking out of his chest. Crazy, huh? Julie was riveted. But you said three people died? Oh yeah. Mrs. Johnson across the lake about four years ago. And Mr. Smith on the other end about two years ago. Each stabbed with a feather in their chest. And, you know, come to think of it, each was in the fall. Wild, huh. But dont you see?! Its bee every two years! At the end of the season! And hes still got one feather to deliver. Why the hell did you bring me here? The night seemed to get a little darker for Julie. Mark had to suppress his laughter. Oh geez! Will you settle down? All weekend youve been like this. Theres nothing to worry about! Im going to get some more wood. And with that he slipped behind the wood pile and out of sight. After a few minutes, Julie got nervous and called out to him with no response. She stood up and called again. Nothing. Then she heard the leaves rustle and the crows caw and the loons cry was deafening in her ears. Then she saw a shadowy gure appear in the corner of her eye and shout out Boo! The doctor said mark was lucky to get away with only second-degree burns from being knocked in the re. His broken nose would heal ne and even though there was much pain from being kicked where hed prefer not to be, there was no permanent damage. It was a very long ride home.

There is nothin like a dame, Nothin in the world, There is nothin you can name That is anythin like a dame!
~ South Pacic

OK, I have to admit a certain fascination with womens roller derby that is traced back to when I was 11 and Raquel Welch starred in Kansas City Bomber. And I have to confess to having never actually seen a roller derby match. I learned about our Greenville Derby Dames through seeing various posters or facebook comments related to my buddy Jay Pass Da Mic Handler and I decided to check out this sports marketing enterprise by visiting a Skate with the Derby Dames event at Skateland USA. I had no preconceived notions since I really knew almost nothing about our local at track team. Wow, did I learn a lot that night! This team is a well oiled, followed, smart sports marketing extravaganza! I got to meet and talk with Amber Rage, Hellvis, Lorena Block It, Conway Hitty, Daisy Do Wrong and a few others. Oh my...you have to visit their website just to read the names and quotes from these sweet women. There is a big match coming up that I am going to use as my rst experience with live derbying July 16th at The Pavillion. It seems that the Rogue Roller Girls from Fayetteville, NC are a little bit upset that they lost last time they played.

There is a passion that each of our Dames conveys when they start talking about how they got into this sport. Their eyes light up talking about how this sport is taking off around the country. In talking with Coach Josh, I learned that upwards of 400+ people turn out for home games! He said that there are teams that draw 1,200 fans at each game and constantly sell out of tickets. Again, I had no idea.

Now we are cooking with heat!

One of the most unique marketing tools the Dames have come up with is a cookbook called The Dames Dish It Out! Now, I am no food critic and I am denitely not a chef but from a marketing standpoint I was enthralled with this cookbook and I spent the better part of an hour leang through the recipes. I am here to tell you that the titles of the dishes alone are worth the $15 for the book. Shush Puppies Call It Off Crabcakes Stormie Burgers Skater Tot Casserole Hip Whip Chicken Plow Stop Potatoes And my favorite...Banana Split Lip Pudding! There are also plenty of tips in this culinary guide that range from how to tenderize meat to lightly coating your face with hairspray to keep make-up from sweating off. This cookbook is brilliant!

The Greenville Derby Dames have a great website with tons of content, personal proles, merchandise and events. Check them out at

Hot Summer Fights on July 16th is going to be an adventure!
