I’m glad I live in a town that can still get angry about death, no matter the apparent causes.
O
Stacy Appel
nce, the hillside on the north side of town looked just like any other. I still pass it almost every day, since the adjacent roadway parallels the main thoroughfare and offers a scenic shortcut that bypasses stores, stop lights and slow-moving traffic. But I will never get used to the sight of it. In winter or spring, when long green wands of grass mat the hill, waving gently when the wind is up, you might almost imagine you are seeing a garden of strange white flowers. Now July heat has singed the slope brown, and the view is jarringly unobstructed— thousands of crosses stand stark in the afternoon sun. One cross is planted for every soldier killed in Iraq or Afghanistan—one goodbye, one wordless reminder. I wonder whether the commuters emerging from the transit station parking lot across the road even notice the hillside anymore, or if the sight is something you can get used to and simply stop seeing, like the pines stretching up to the sky behind the memorials. How many passengers in the cars sweeping by at rush hour know that the tiny crosses are for the child victims, or that the atomic symbols are for those who died from depleted uranium? Stakes are topped with crescent moons, dharma wheels, Stars of David, pentacles, for troops who were Buddhist, Jewish, Islamic, Pagan. Not a single body is buried here, but the markers shout the news that they are indisputably gone. The tidy block numerals on the death-tally sign next to the crosses read “6,160” a month ago. The man who created the memorial project looks almost as ordinary as the hill once did. I met him in the grocery a few years ago and realized that the lanky guy who stood in line just in front of me, mid-fifties maybe, in jeans and a faded red work shirt, looked awfully familiar. When the Safeway clerk handed his card back and said, “Here you go, Mr. Heaton,” I knew it was the same Jeff Heaton who’d been featured so often on the evening news. He looks like the building contractor he happens to be, not a vigilante or a crackpot, though he’s been called both. He doesn’t look especially like a hero. When I spoke with him long enough to convey my thanks, I was struck by his engaging, rueful smile and quiet voice—a man who, from all appearances, would rather not have been the center of controversy but just can’t help being himself. Jeff began pounding the crosses into the hill in 2003, on land owned by his friend Louise and her veteran husband. He started with only 19, intending a simple tribute to those who had died in the war in Iraq. Vandals ripped out all of
the crosses overnight, which devastated him, but he didn’t give up. Three years later, on Veterans Day, with the help of a group of volunteers, he came back and planted 300 more. The project had begun in earnest. One tenacious man, one hill, a town ignited. Jean, a former U.S. Marine, promptly and publicly tore down the death-tally sign, furious at what she considered a memorial mocking the dead and inciting anti-war protests. Karen, a mother whose only son, a 26-year-old Army tank commander, was killed in combat, was happy to see the crosses and couldn’t understand why so many others found it offensive. “If children are dying in their names, they should understand it and see it every day.” Television crews made the hill a regular reporting stop, while commuters and residents tried to decide if the hill was a testament or a travesty. The Lafayette Flag Brigade, an organization that welcomes soldiers arriving home, claimed that the hill was an insult to the troops and their families. But every week I saw little clusters of people, grateful mothers and brothers who came for candlelight vigils, winding their way up the steep path of steps on the hill or meandering among the crosses to view the ones representing their family members. More vandals smashed the memorials by night, while by day, protests against the war and against the monument itself turned the town into a battleground as fiercely divided as any other. Eventually the controversy erupted before the City Council, which had the power to determine whether the crosses would stay. Six years have passed since the residents of my town fought against one another. Cries of outrage have died down to a murmur. One morning each month, people gather for silent meditation and prayer on the crowded slope before volunteers arrive to weed, repair and add new crosses. A volunteer unscrews the numerals on the sign and changes the tally, ever greater. It doesn’t even represent the real total of deaths, since there are soldiers who died later of injuries, both mental and physical. A news truck might stop by on Memorial Day, but the town has decided to commit to its hillside monument. People don’t talk about it on the street anymore. I’m glad I live in a town that can still get angry about death, no matter the apparent causes. The tally sign is painfully real, the toll of our larger war sobering and grim. No one knows who to blame, but sheer numbers make it clear that young lives lost this way inspire sorrow, not celebration. Last night when I drove by the hill on my way home, some of the markers had tiny lights winking up from them, a few had flower garlands. Street lamps illuminated the multitude of crosses, quiet testaments to broken promises. In the dark of evening, they could have been thousands of white banners on a prayer flag. I hope the day never comes when a single one of us will be able to drive right past without seeing red.

“You’ve gotten so dark. But don’t worry, you’re still pretty.”
Javacia Harris Bowser
I
n 2003, I was a bridesmaid in the wedding of a longtime friend. At the reception, the mother of another childhood friend, whom I had not seen in over a decade, saw my name on the program and decided to search the banquet hall for me to say hello. When she finally found me she said, “People kept pointing to you saying ‘That’s Javacia’ but I didn’t believe them. You’ve gotten so dark. But don’t worry, you’re still pretty.” Like most people in my family, I was born with fairly light skin and it stayed that way during early childhood. But as I got older, my skin got darker, something I never thought twice about until person after person kept offering unsolicited comfort telling me that I was still pretty despite my dark skin. I was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, a city whose name is, unfortunately, synonymous with racial conflict. I’m not saying that colorism, prejudice or discrimination is solely a Southern problem. The fact that skin color seems to play a role in Hollywood makes me pretty certain it is not. But when I lived on the West Coast in the East Bay Area of California and in Seattle, Washington, and even during my five years of working in Louisville, Kentucky, the comments about my skin color ceased. So when I decided to move back to Birmingham in 2009, the reemergence of the remarks caught me off guard. I had a hard time shaking them off like I did in the past because I was out of practice. Comments from family members were the harshest and most hurtful, especially in the summer when my chocolate skin boasted a tan thanks to my love for outdoor walks and runs. “Why are you so dark?” they’d ask, disgust in their voices. “You need to stop exercising outside.” Meanwhile, I have frequently overheard some of my black female students discussing their complexions and expressing their wish that they had lighter skin. They’ve even stopped me and other teachers in the hall asking, “Would you de-
scribe my skin as caramel or chocolate?” and rejoiced each time someone answered caramel. While I do not think that black men are exempt from this problem (my family always had something negative to say when I dated darker men.) it seems that colorism hurts and hinders black women more. A former lover even once told me that he found black women with lighter skin more attractive because their complexion made them look more feminine than darker women. And we can’t forget the rapper who was quoted as saying he doesn’t do “dark butts.” While most recognized that this statement was ridiculous, dark-skinned women are still hard to find in music videos, movies, and magazines. Though I do see some mainstream publications such as Glamour doing a better job of including images of African-American women, finding dark-skinned black women in the media as a whole continues to be difficult. Music videos frequently feature fair-skinned, racially ambiguous women. Perhaps this is in response to complaints from black women about how negatively they were represented in hip-hop videos. Perhaps rappers decided that since we didn’t like the way we were featured in their videos, they wouldn’t feature us at all. However, if colorism is a problem rooted in decades, even centuries, of hurtful history, what can I or anyone else do about it? I don’t have an answer. I only have more questions, such as, how can darker-skinned women maintain healthy self-esteem in the midst of the comments that now surround me since I’ve returned home? A girl can only take so much before she starts to wonder, “Does my dark skin make me less attractive?” And how can we support darker-skinned women without alienating black women with fair skin? For now I will simply continue to write things like this in hopes that people who read will check themselves for any attitudes of colorism, and I will do what I can to make sure young women of all colors know they’re beautiful. And in the meantime, my dark skin and I will continue to enjoy outdoor walks and still be pretty.

True Colors
Susan & Joan | Making Painting Painless Greenville natives Susan Murdock and mom Joan Earle have always shared a passion and eye for visual arts through interior design. One summer, while visiting a girlfriend in Charleston, Susan noticed a beautiful painting and was surprised to learn that her friend—who had no prior artistic training—had painted it herself at a local paint with wine studio. With a little persuasion, Susan talked her mom into partnering with her to open Design with Wine, giving locals a place to create a featured acrylic canvas painting with step-by-step instructions provided by artists— all while relaxing with friends and sipping on their favorite wines. “My girlfriend’s painting says it all,” laughs Susan. “It’s amazing what you can do with a paintbrush in hand when there’s a glass of wine in the other!” Photo by John Fowler

True Colors
Susan Sorrell | Fiberlicious! Her list of interests is intriguing (creativity and how it affects people, social media, technology and…graveyards) but the name of Susan’s business really says it all. At Creative Chick Studios, this fabulously fun and gifted fiber/mixed media artist, painter and fusedglass jewelry maker loves working with bright colors and bling. “People call my fiber work ‘craft,’ but I like to think of it as fine art but using a variety of materials to construct my imagery. I think artists should break the rules and I love breaking the rules.” Voted “Most Likely to Hit Upon a Million Dollar Idea” by her friends, Susan has been teaching online fiber art classes to a worldwide audience for the last eight years, and, on a whim, started FAMM, a website for Fiber Arts/Mixed Media artists with 3000 members and growing!

Bluestocking Summer
Growing Families...
How long has it been?” my 10 year-old asks from the back-in-the-back of the very-packed minivan. Her teenaged sisters, one snoozing in iPod-land and the other scrutinizing InStyle, have staked out every inch of the middle backseat and every last millimeter of spare aisle, elbow or leg room in the car. Poor Claire is stuck in the automotive equivalent of a straight jacket back there. “Eighteen minutes from the last time you asked,” I reply, glancing in the rear view mirror as I-95 retreats at 75 miles per hour—an uninspired trail of blacktop fading into the distance and more of the same ahead. Ten minutes later I get the exact same question. “Ten minutes, give or take one or two,” I answer. “You sure? It felt like longer,” Claire asks, and I know what she means. Everything feels longer on a long, hot road trip, especially when vacation is over and we’re trudging back toward reality. “Sorry. Keep at it,” I encourage, and Claire ducks her Florida-tanned face back in to her book, just in time to miss yet another juicy Adam & Eve Romance Superstore billboard. I’m not annoyed by her annoying questions; I’m thrilled. This isn’t classic “are we there yet” obnoxiousness, rather, Claire is logging her reading time, turning her turned pages into prizes courtesy of our public library’s “One World, Many Stories” summer reading program. Claire tracks each 15 minutes she reads on a form with five circles per line, each circle an hour, broken into quarters. After coloring in five circles, she gets a medal and a ticket to see our local minor league baseball team. Ten more on top of that and my little bookworm claims tickets to the local pro soccer team and/or karate lessons. Thirty hours nets a tee shirt and entry into the grand prize sweepstakes. “One World, Many Bribes” is more like it, but hey, she’s reading. For now at least. “Thirty more minutes and I’ll get the medal and RiverDogs ticket!” she announces proudly. “Can we stop at the library before we go home?” I’ve done this routine with Claire’s older sisters for the last 13 or so summers, and I can tell you how the story ends. The shiny medal quickly loses its sheen, the tracking sheet gets lost, circles get colored in willy-nilly, motivation and interest wane. Before long I’ll be threatening to unplug the cable and harping nonstop about how too much TV—Animal Planet notwithstanding—causes cancer, childhood obesity, global warming and financial ruin. “Taylor Swift reads all the time,” I’ll add, using my writerly literary license. Truth is, I’m envious—I’d love permission to read my summer away (earning prizes to boot!). And I’m wishing my kids knew and appreciated what I know now and wish I’d known when I was their age. That the library’s dangled carrots don’t begin to hint at reading’s real rewards. I wish I’d been a voracious reader as a child. I wish I was a more voracious and disciplined reader now, not waiting for the quiet moment that never comes, not letting Ann Patchett’s latest get pushed to the bottom of my to-do list, not sidelining books till bedtime, which means Jhumpa Lahiri only gets four paragraphs of my attention before her gorgeous words become knotted and tangled by sleep. I have several orphaned novels by my bedside; characters I abandoned mid-story, plots I partly unfolded then left all wrinkled—they’re mostly book club books that I ran out of time on, then never finished after our group discussion. Books I loved then just put aside so I could move on to tackle, and perhaps finish, the next month’s selection. How can I be so heartless and uncommitted? I remember the summer I was 14 or 15, the summer of The Thorn Birds. It was the first time I really got pulled into a book’s undertow. I remember lying on a sandy towel at a beach in North Carolina, baking for hours as I sunk further into the passionate saga, my mother and sisters on the beach beside me but clueless about the world of Australian sheep farms and forbidden romance that I was vicariously living in. I can still feel the heft of the soft, worn paperback, still see its cheesy ‘70s font on the mustard yellow cover clear as day. This is the love of reading that I want for my girls, and for me. The wide yawn of a summer day, a beach chair and an ocean breeze and nothing but pages to turn and romance to taste and adventures and unknown lands to explore and hearts to soar and break and soar again. I want beginnings that mesmerize and endings that satisfy, and the forever promise of good fiction—that the world is infinitely interesting, and telling its stories tells us all we need to know. Stephanie Hunt is a writer and reader in Mt. Pleasant, SC, and lucky member of the Literary Guild of Greater Charleston, the sexiest bluestockings around. This summer they’re reading Trollope’s The Way We Live Now.

planetnikki [ a visual journal ]
I’ve fallen in love at first sight twice, once on the first day of high school when I was 13 and again when I was 33.
I’ll never forget either one.
My first love has stayed in my life as a friend off and on ever since, and though my second love is cosmic dust and glitter now,
I carry him inside
every single day. I guess they
weren’t “grown-up” loves
because they didn’t result in marriage, mortgages or mainstream lives. Instead, they were the other side of safe, the wrong side of town, the switchblade in the heart.
My fate. My karma. My bad.
The aqua was my second choice.
I caved and bought an iPad, and my daughter gave me a Smart Pad for Mother’s Day. It was hard to choose between aqua and red, but of course red won.

I can’t wait until I pay off this painting by Charleston artist Kevin Morrissey and hang it in my bedroom. It might even inspire me to take swimming lessons—but probably not.
July is Frida Kahlo’s birthday month, and I’m loving the Frida t-shirt a friend in London found at Zara.
My little Create, Collaborate, Prosper notebook is from Charleston Parliament, a group dedicated to cultivating creativity in our community. I carry it in my purse to jot down inspirations and ideas on the run.
