The town received $600,000 of grant funding to complete housing and infrastructure repairs in the West Livingston area. Double R Utilities, Inc. began the water and sewer line construction a few weeks ago. J.R. Robbs, vice-president of Double R Utilities, said the water and sewer lines are both being upsized and a fire hydrant is being added along West Livingston Street.

Artist Janet Orselli showcases found art Studio open house Thursday, June 9 by Samantha Hurst
Janet Orselli started out, as she said many artists do, painting, yet she consistently felt a yearning for something more textural.
Along the way to discovering
a medium that set her creativity afire, she’d begun to collect random tattered objects at flea markets and garage sales. “There’s an immediate association we have with things,” Orselli said. “I really like playing off those set associations and transforming them into some-

to death. Then she picked up old metal roller skates with wheels mired by rust to which she affixed items such as turtle shells, bones and shoe forms. “It’s really about a desire to create an experience with the viewer,� she said. “I wanted to create a dialogue about how we see the world.� Our view of the world, Orselli said, causes people to cast many things aside once they no longer see a use for them. Orselli said it’s unfortunate how easily people dismiss items once their materials are faded or edges are frayed. “We have such set ideas of what a crutch is, what a chair is used for,� Orselli said. Creating art from these items allows her to challenge those set ideals, for example, by placing a shovelhead at the end of a crutch, by filling a chair seat with a dried hornet’s nest or by giving a turtle’s shell wheels. “I see [my art] as a statement about how we find a way to work with what is given to us, even though it might be difficult,� she

said. “It’s talking a lot about what we value‌ how we decide what is valuable. I’m afraid we don’t value things that are old; don’t see the care and attention that was put into making these things.â€? Orselli, who worked in psy-
chology for 15 years before embracing art and returning to Clemson to obtain a MFA, said in using the frayed objects she’s seeking to start a conversation about how people treat each other as well – how easily people can
be cast aside. She said in her work as a psychologist she saw many people treated in that way. Getting to know them, and eventually even (Continued on page 4)

creating art with them through art therapy sessions, enhanced her view of a person’s worth. In an effort to prevent her imagery from becoming overly melancholy, she often mixes in quirky objects to arouse a smile. A portion of a fishing pole, for example, is used in one piece as the handle of a miniature wheelchair. Orselli’s Heartsoles collection plays with the contrast between worn materials and a romanticized image. Orselli strips the soles, gritty and weathered, out of old shoes, pairing them with rich crimson fabrics to create hearts. There’s a connection, she said, between the shoe soles and a person’s soul, so typically worn itself in one way or another. She finds it to be healing to realize, she said, that just like those shoe soles a person’s soul is still of value even when it’s

been trudged through the mud or is old and weary. When Orselli is feeling ambitious she takes her art a step further, bringing in a performance aspect – showing the pieces in motion. Her last performance art piece involved men donning tails and top hats pushing rickety baby carriages down West Main Street in Spartanburg, S.C., from the gallery district toward the Spartanburg museum. “By intent, I was saying, ‘this is art. This is valuable,’” Orselli said. Orselli was the featured artist of a large-scale installation at the Gibbes Museum in Charleston back in 2005. She’s also been the focus of two shows at OK Harris in New York.

Her next show will be held in September at USC Upstate. Orselli plans to lead an installation and performance art course at Converse College next spring. Orselli’s art will be available
for viewing during an open house Thursday, June 9 from 6 – 8 p.m. in her studio at the Mill Spring Agricultural Center. To learn more about her work, visit www.janetorselli.com.

increased from a 2-inch to a 6-inch line. The new sewer line will be an 8-inch line. The water and sewer lines in the area were aged and deteriorated, and there were drainage issues along W. Livingston Street, Robbs said. The water and sewer installation is approximately 75 percent complete with a storm drain system scheduled to be installed next. Robbs said he hopes the infrastructure improvements can be completed within the next six weeks. The company has been working with property owners to provide access to homes throughout the project. The water and sewer line installation is occurring along about 1,000 feet of roadway. Once the infrastructure improvements are complete, the road will also be repaved. Other improvements con-
tinuing in the neighborhood are emergency and rehabilitation home repairs. A couple of homes have been restored with four more homes recently bid out for construction. The Isothermal Planning and Development Commission (IPDC) is administering the project. Todd Frashier of IPDC met with homeowners for a pre-construction meeting on Monday, June 6 at 112 W. Livingston Street, where construction will begin no earlier than two weeks. That home will receive a complete renovation, including structural, electrical, plumbing and HVAC work and new windows. Frashier said the project is also concentrating on making homes more energy efficient. Exterior repairs at 342 Markham, meanwhile, are complete, with minor renovations being done inside the home. “The new structure is 100

percent better than it was,” said Frashier. “It’s safe and secure now.” The $600,000 of CDBG funding is being used for administration, service delivery and rehabilitation of approximately six housing units, approximately five emergency repair units belonging to low
to moderate qualified homeowners living in the Eastside community. The final part of the project, improvements to Bryan Park, will be done using funds from the local match. The town plans to place a fence between the park and travel lanes and provide shade in the park.

within Polk County. The operation has involved the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Veteran’s Affairs, the Buncombe County and Spartanburg County, S.C. sheriff’s offices. Hill said arrests will continue to be made over the next several weeks. The sheriff’s office estimates it has purchased Julie Brockway approximately 2,000 illegal prescription pills during the undercover operation that began nine months ago. More than 20 suspects are expected to be arrested. Hill said many charges have involved drugs besides illegal prescription medications, including cocaine, heroin, opium and marijuana. A couple of suspects have also been charged with child abuse, because of illegal transactions being done in the presence of children, according to Hill. Rousin was released on a $2,500 bond and Scorborough, Brigman and Brockway were released on $1,000 bonds each. late William and Mabel Hannon.

Ours
Improvements in Eastside good for entire community Have you ever watched the home improvement show where a shiny, happy TV host knocks on the door of a random home to surprise the homeowner inside with a fresh coat of paint and some new geraniums? Ever notice how elated even the neighbors are over the end product? Tryonites can expect to experience such jubilation after a current housing and infrastructure rehab is completed along West Livington Street. Through a Community Block Development Grant, construction crews have taken the concept of enhancing curb appeal to a whole new level. Crews recently upsized water and sewer lines along 1,000 feet of roadway, with plans for an improved storm drainage system to follow. Construction leaders also met with another homeowner this week to discuss plans for renovations to improve the home’s structures, electrical wiring, plumping, heating and air and windows. This project is adding more than curb appeal to streets in the Eastside neighborhood - it’s adding safety and community pride. It’s showing that Tryon officials, town council members and members of the Isothermal Planning and Development Commission (IPDC), which administers the project, care about their neighbors enough to know the importance of those neighbors living in safe, efficient and yes, beautiful, homes. The next time you run into Tryon officials or a member of the IPDC, let them know the rehab project means something to you. Polk representatives on the IPDC include Austin Chapman, Michael Gage, Ray Gasperson, Kathleen McMillan, John Morgan and Ryan Whitson. The project’s not just improving the curb appeal of the block, it’s improving the curb appeal of Tryon as a whole by lifting up our neighbors and giving us all a heightened sense of community pride. — Editorial staff, Tryon Daily Bulletin

a small child’s grave. For many years flowers would occasionally be left on the gravesite. The caretakers of the cemetery left a note on the grave asking for any identification of the child. There was no response and no one has left flowers or cared for the gravesite in recent years. As seen in the photograph, only field rocks were placed at the grave. In recent years, bricks were laid by an unknown person to outline the position of the site. The church would like to have any information on this child’s gravesite in order to provide a marker. In addition, there is a gravesite that is of historical interest. During the Civil War, a young Union soldier fell from his horse and was killed near the Gibson property in Gowensville. As the story goes, the men of the community would not bury the young man. Several women in the community buried the man because they felt even though he was a Union soldier, he was still some moth(Continued on page 11)

Geoff Achison
Guitarist Geoff Achison teaches workshop June 18 Hosted by Lichty Guitars, acclaimed Australian blues/ roots artist Geoff Achison will be in town Saturday, June 18 to teach guitar players how to get the most out of the instrument without getting bogged down in mountains of theory and extra study. Achis on kicks off his 2011 U.S. tour in June with a string of back-to-back shows throughout the summer. This stop in Tryon is a rare opportunity for area guitar players to learn from one of the best. According to The Times of London, Achison is “possibly one of the most gifted musicians to arrive on the scene… His playing verges on the miraculous.” The list of awards and acknowledgments for this musician is long and includes the Memphis Blues Foundation’s ‘Albert King Award’ and being chosen as one of the “Top Ten Hottest New Guitarists” by “Guitar Player Magazine” in 2008. He was recently named as one of the top “100+ Guitarists You Should Know” by
TrueFire. Achison said he enjoys the opportunity to teach and is a regular instructor and charter member at Jorma Kaukonen’s Fur Peace Ranch guitar camp in Ohio. His workshops are relaxed and informal affairs where he engages his students in conversation discussing their mutual love of music and desire to master their chosen instrument. Flat pick and finger-style, dynamic rhythm and lead are covered as well as jamming tips. Lichty Guitars will host this event in Tryon. The workshop will run from 3 - 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 18. Registration is required, as space is limited. To learn more, visit www. lichtyguitars.com or call 828817-1460. While in the area, Achison will also perform a solo concert at The Saluda Wine Cellar on Thursday, June 16. Tickets may be purchased by calling 828-749-9698. – article submitted
