What i Greenville had a place where great ideas could be collected and shared with people in Greenville capable

o making them happen? It does now.

Greenville Forward recently launched a new website designed to oster communication between Greenville citizens

and community leaders called “WhatiGreenville.com.” What i Greenville is a collaborative project between GreenviForward and OrangeCoat Web Design and employs a simple, idea-ostering ramework that is user-riendly and

consumer content generated. The site asks the question beginning with, “What i Greenville…” in the hopes that

users will nish the sentence with their ideas o ways to improve Greenville County, address a concern, and to oste

community with other engaged citizens.

Posts made to the website can also be broadcast via social network channels like Twitter and Facebook, and can ar

accessible on computers, smart phones, or tablet devices. The website tracks posts and rereshes every 20 second

Each month, Greenville Forward transmits popular ideas to a comprehensive and diverse list o local “Champions,”

civic leaders, governments, community visionaries, and more, in the hopes that some can be implemented.

In its rst week, the site recorded 10,000 page views and 500 new ideas. With coverage on all o the major news

networks, Greenville Forward has quickly seen that a voice is needed or the public. And now that voice is here.

Greenville Forward was created in January 2006 to help Greenville achieve Vision 2025, the bold, comprehensive, and 

aggressive plan to create a vibrant Greenville in the next twenty-fve years. By having a group like Greenville Forward,

whose sole purpose is to acilitate, coordinate,

and communicate the ideas rom Vision 2025,

the aggressive goals or Vision 2025 will be 

kept vibrant, alive, and attainable.

You may wonder why two people can experience

the same event and come out of it in a completely

different way. That’s a simple answer: It’s all about

perspective. I’ve been thinking a lot about how fear

can prevent us from going after our dreams and living

to our full potential. If we change our perspective thenthose fears which hold us back, can be alleviated and

then result in endless opportunities and possibilities.

I don’t think there are many people that would

regret trying something, but would certainly regret

if they never did. But what if I fail? That is probably

going to happen at some point and it won’t be the

end of the world. The worst case scenario will most

likely not be that bad and can be recovered from.

Also, recovering from failure only will make you

stronger and more informed about how to proceed

the next time. If you are not failing then try harder.

“The difference between a mountain and a molehill is

your perspective” - Al Neuharth. Walt Disney oncesaid that whenever he goes on a ride, he thinks about

what’s wrong and how it can be improved. He said

that we should ‘get better daily’. Bottom line is to

be kind, be helpful, work hard, laugh, pursue your

dreams and be sure to keep things in perspective

along the way. I am reminding myself of this as well.

IT’S ALL ABOUT PERSPECTIVE

8/4/2019 Fete's September 2011 Issue

 Are you asking yoursel how can music possibly save your lie? Well the truth is, I don’t know. What I do

know is that it has saved lives. There are countless stories o people all over the world showing us that

music (as a thing) means so much to them, that it’s gotten them through perilous moments in their lie.Others have shared stories o how playing musical instruments growing up has kept them rom a darker

path. The act is that people who play musical instruments are less stressed, and it is proven that people

that are less stressed live longer. Have I told you how music can save your lie? Well, no, but go pick up a

guitar and you might live longer!

I have always played music. As ar back as I can remember I have been able to make music with an

instrument. My ather was a musician, and it just came naturally. I have taught music since I was in high

school when I was also attending the Fine Arts Center. It was at that point when music became my passion.

I haven’t looked back.

I’m sure it’s no shock that I eel strongly about introducing

music into everyone’s lie - as early as possible. I also eel that

music should be required in school, just like other languages.

I teach classes at my studio www.sitnspinstudios.com  or

kids and adults on how to play, write, and record. I taught a

summer program at the Fine Arts Center or 8 years and I

still work with local schools. It’s amazing to me when I think 

back on just how many students I have had over the years.

Teaching private study as well as or programs, it was not

uncommon or me to have had over 200 students a year.I get calls or emails all the time rom parents or students

bragging about being accepted into music schools like

Berkeley, NYU, or NTS. They thank me, and sometimes

tell me that I am the reason they got into music in the

frst place. That is an awesome eeling!

I urge anyone to support local and national music

programs like The Fine Arts Center, The Governor’s

School, Save the Music Foundation, Support Music,

or Music for all. Music is so important to me and to

so many people that I know - I couldn’t

imagine my lie without it. So 

go out and support live music,

give to these oundations,

buy a git certifcate or some private lessons or

at my studio :), donate that saxophone collecting dust in your attic. Just do

something to promote music. You’ll eel better and, you never know, you

 just might save a lie.

This CD rom Wigmore Hall Live is one o 3 volumes

documenting the duo o violinist Alina Ibragomova and

Pianist Cedric Tiberghien as they bless us collectors not

lucky enough to attend their landmark concerts covering all

undisputed master composers played like old souls by two

rather youngish relative newcomers. From the powerul

playul passages these two deliver

music captured in concert that

it only adds to what the awed

GREETHE VALUE OF A SNAPSHOT

By Allyson Hale 

napshots may not provide full, all

encompassing, pictures, but they will

capture those distinct moments in life.

Bruce Plourde, CityStory Co-Founder and

photographic artist for Greenville – Imprints of 

a City , uses a snapshot, style to not only blur the

background, which enables a subject to stand

out; No, Bruce removes all the surrounding

context, making the subject the only possible

focus. His digitally illustrated images are

then printed onto aluminum, resulting in

artwork that inspires a new perspective with

new appreciations, new questions, and new

stories. A collection of his recent snapshots

of Greenville, can be found at The Gallery at

Postcard from Paris (located within Linda

McDougald Design — Postcard from Paris

Home) located at 633 S. Main Street.

SNAPSHOTS OF GREENVILLE

Greenville – Imprints of a City , CityStory’s

newest Greenville gift, is a coffee table book

unlike any other. The focus is Greenville’s

modern narrative. It’s not a history book nor

a travel guide. It’s a black, white, and metallic

silver ink art book filled with snapshots of

iconic images and community stories that

produce a distinct, and mostly unknown,

picture of Greenville.

THE ART IN THE BOOK 

Bruce Plourde’s numerous silver-toned

snapshots of iconic Greenville structures

adorn the pages and reveal a novel degree of

beauty and depth.

THE STORIES IN THE BOOK

Insightful. Entertaining. Sustainable. And direct

accounts from individuals leaving their imprint

on Greenville. Corporations, education, non-

profits, parks, theatres, museums, and many

more specific stories have been gathered and

recorded so that the community may discover

voices often missed among the noise.

“I’ve always connected deeply with my 

environment. But revealing the beauty 

of structures and architecture is just 

one piece of this Greenville project.

When we paired these images with

the local stories, I couldn’t help but 

get excited about what we were doing 

for Greenville. I am very thankful to be 

using my talents as an artist to help tell 

the story in which we are all a part of.”

People in the Upstate have nothing on that guy in the Dos Equis “The Most Interesting Man in the World”

commercials. This article was suppose to be about two or three o the most ascinating people I’ve met sincemoving here but ater several alse starts I realized the task was just too

daunting, there was no way I could choose. So I scratched the entire thing

and decided to ocus instead on the WHY instead o the WHO.

Living on a boat means a large percentage o your riends either live on, in, or

near water and once the decision was made to relocate to Greenville I was

concerned about adjusting to a new liestyle without that one binding tie.

Those ears turned out to be unwarranted as I continue meeting amazing

people daily; people who I’m in awe o due to their zest or lie. Not to saythat boaters don’t enjoy or love lie, we just, in my opinion, have a tendency

to be a bit more laid-back than most. For example, i we want to spend the

day reading, then that’s pretty much all we do…or the entire day. Same with

shing or drinking or sailing. I won’t say boaters are lazy; we just aren’t big multi-taskers.

Here I have met people who have such a genuine love o lie and want to pack as much into it as possible.

These are individuals who not only take everything they can rom lie, but they also give back just as much, i

not more.

I have become riends with a couple young people, by young I mean in their teens, who because o their drive

and motivation, have given me hope or our uture. These teens are not only changing their community but our

world with their vision or the uture. The word “no” isn’t in their vocabulary.

I have met numerous people who are working

diligently to make Greenville a world class city

through events such as Google on Main,

TEDxGreenville and Xperience Greenville. These are

people who realize lie doesn’t stop at 5pm and spend the next 8 hours doing what inspires and excites them.

 Ater so many years o living a dierent liestyle it’s very cathartic

being surrounded by motivated dedicated people enjoying their lie

while also working to make a dierence.

Way to go Greenville and keep it up!

A D O S E O F

Mark the Beetle was looking or answers. Trouble is, he didn’t even know what the questions were.

His conversation with Jerry the Butterfy had let him even more conused than ever, so he went to

the source o wisdom in his world, Stephen the Spider.

Stephen the Spider was wise. His multiple eyes allowed him to take in a lot o inormation and seeeverything rom various points o view. He was generous with his wisdom. He would share his thoughts

and ideas with anyone who asked. And even some who didn’t. He wasn’t one to mince words, though.

He told it how it was. Or, rather, how he saw it, through his several points o view. He was one other

thing as well: treacherous. For all his wisdom and generosity, a spider still had to eat. And Stephen the

spider was well ed.

Mark the Beetle travelled over to the web that Stephen the Spider had spun just the day beore.

Careully watching his every step, Mark the Beetle called out to his riend, but got no response.

Stephen the Spider oten went rom place to place spinning webs and sharing wisdom. But he’d

always return to his same haunts. So Mark the Beetle drank a rereshing dew drop, ate and edge o

a particularly tasty green lea, made himsel comortable and starting dozing in the aternoon sun.

“Hey!” called Harry the Hummingbird. “Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!”

Mark the Beetle awoke with a start. His initial instinct was to run. But then he thought he should stay

still and let the tree camoufage him rom this bird’s gaze. Then he thought i this bird is calling to him,

then he wasn’t camoufaged very well. Finally he thought, why was this bird yelling at him, which

inspired him to take voice. Danger be damned.

“Dude, why are you yelling at me?” Mark the Beetle always used “dude” when talking to birds that

might eat him. He gured one couldn’t eat another that he was “bros” with.

“Dude, really? Dude? OK. Dude it is.” Harry the Hummingbird didn’t stay in one spot or very long. He

few rom place to place and only landed every once in a while. But or all o his scattered fying

patterns, he kept a pretty steady stream o consciousness. Steady and ast, especially or someone

who had just woken up.

“Look, kid, it’s no nectar o my beak-as they say.” He few up. “But I wouldn’t rest there i I were you.”

He few to the side. “Huh, i I were you? That would suck-nothing personal. I gotta be on the move. I

gotta dodge. I gotta parry. I gotta thrust!” He few orward. “You know what I’m sayin. Totally random.

Back on topic. Look this is a hotbed or bugs ergo a hotbed or bug eaters. Ergo-that’s my hot word or

the day. I’m trying to use it wherever I can. Ergo I used it in that sentence. Ergo ergo ergo. You should

try it, it’s a un word to say.” Harry the Hummingbird perched on a nearby branch.

“Look, dude!” Mark the Beetle nally broke in. I’m looking or Stephen the Spider. Have you seen him?”

“Seen him?” Harry the Hummingbird took fight once again. “I ate him. Ate him whole. With some ava

bean and a nice Chianti. Ha! See what I did there? ‘Silence o the Lambs.’ Ever see it?” He paused in

mid-fight and looked directly at Mark the Beetle. “It puts the lotion in the basket!” he few backward.

”Great fick! So, you seen it? You didn’t see it? Not much or conversation are you kid? Or a sense o

humor – o course I didn’t eat Stephen the Spider. He’s a riend o mind, ergo, I wouldn’t eat him. He’s

spinning a new web at the water spout. I go tell him you’re looking or him.” And with that, he was gone.

Mark the Beetle didn’t know i he should try to thank Harry the Hummingbird or throw himsel into the

Zapper.HarrytheHummingbirdwasrightthough.Thiswasn’tasafeplacetonapoutintheopen.So

Mark the Beetle crawled back toward the tree and ound a nice chip in the bark where he could rest,

without being seen by hungry woodpeckers or chatty hummingbirds, and began wrestling with the

reason or it all until sleep came upon him once more.

With the impressive quantity o sushi restaurants in Greenville,

how can you pick a avorite? The choices always come down to

location and what sushi roll you are craving. Whether it’s the

Poseidon Roll at Tsunami, the Samurai at Murasaki, you’re at

one end o Main Street, or you were just at the Haywood Mall

and Sushi Hana’s early bird special is not or the aint at heart,

the choice is made or you.

I have a avorite sushi restaurant in Greenville, Sakura.

They won me over with, o course, their Sweet Heart Roll.

For those o you scared o ruit in your entrée, this is not

or you, unless you are willing to admit how wrong you

are. It’s not just the sushi. Take away the Sweet Heart and

you’re looking at nearly every sushi restaurant you know.

It’s the little things they have. The electronic covers o

Michael Jackson playing in the background, the walls o

tall living bamboo, and, the best part, the ornate and

unique clay soy sauce dishes and saki bottles, all o it

 just makes you eel like you’re somewhere dierent.

“...another bold theatrical stroke: a fnely

and beautiully realized production”

Paul Hyde, Greenville News

“Words cannot express how wonderul we thought the production o 

Metamorphoses was. We stayed ater the show or the discussion with the actors and

director and thoroughly enjoyed it. The entire experience was very enlightening.

The director talked to the audience beore the show and was very entertaining and

insightul. Nobody in our group o fve have ever been to a theater that does this.

Now, the show was the best theater I have ever seen and I am no spring chicken. We

are already planning our next trip to your theater. Thank you to everyone who put

this together.”

Stacey Templet

“Best production I’ve seen yet.”

Daniel Waldschmidt

“This gorgeous production is more than a crash course in Greek mythology; it’s

about what it means to walk on this earth with other people. I’d wager it’s the most

important (and startling) play o Greenville’s 2011/2012 theatre season.”

Stephanie Young, Ubertati.com

A ew weeks ago, I was lucky enough to be part o Clemson’s Leadership Summit, where mysel and 23 others spent a

week ocusing on leadership at many dierent levels.

So now, when someone asks me “what is leadership?” I can look at them straight in the eye and give them a direct

answer.

 Yeah. Right.

See, the one thing I learned is that leadership—true leadership—is dierent or everybody. You will lead dierently than

I do. Some people have dierent ocuses—ethics, emotional intelligence, strength and ego, to name a ew. Heck, some

people even lead by ollowing. Don’t believe me? Watch Derek Siver’s “How to Start a Movement” TED video, where

one crazy, hal-naked guy at an outdoor event leads hundreds o others to act just as insanely. To me, to say that I can

outright defne leadership—what it means to me and what it should mean to you—is ultimately impossible.

What I did learn during the week came in waves o inspiration.Leaders must be ethical, or else they are no better thana playground bully. Leaders must inspire, and they must be ollowed, or else they aren’t really leaders at all. Leaders must

serve the community around them, or else they sit apart rom the people they lead. Leaders must listen and be available.

Leadership is giving someone else the reigns, even i they do “it” dierently than you do. Even i it may be wrong (by

 your or my standards). Leadership is realizing that when you put yoursel on a shel, a lot can happen without you.

Leadership is a highly complex organism. It’s something that may be defnable in bookish standards, but not one that is

easily described. You know it when you see it, and you know it’s lacking when it’s not there. Can it be created? I don’t

know. Leadership can be unearthed, uncovered, discovered, and encouraged, though. In Siver’s video, he celebrates the

ollowers as much as the leader. Ater all, the frst ollower, he says “is a orm o leader on his own.” And without the

ollowers, there would be no leader.

Are you a leader? I so, who’s ollowing you, and where are you taking them?

Too many times we sit by and watch the world spin on without taking a single step that can actually make adierence in someone’s lie. That passive approach really doesn’t do you, or anybody else, any good in the long

run. Funny thing participation – in the midst o contributing your time, passion and eorts to good causes – you

will nd yoursel discovering this thing called enjoyment. We are by nature social creatures and the great surprise

we continue to relearn is that most people appreciate a kind act being perpetrated in their presence. Enjoyment

breeds happiness. Happiness increases your sel-esteem and can lead to that most holy o “sels” – selfessness.

Beware, happiness is not the end goal o our existence. Just like sadness, happiness is feeting (or should be).

No one wants to be around that silly “happy all the time” guy that paints rainbows by waving his hands in the air

and conjures unicorns to ride through candyland.

The realistic middle ground, the grail, the one answer is contentedness.

So – whilst in one o your daydreams today dismount Pegasus and imagine

being able to put your hands, mind and heart to work helping someone

else nd the answer to it all . Or simply apply your talents towards

easing someone’s pain or suering –

there is enough to go around…

Contentedness...or how do you get there from here?
