Fantasy football

A few years into fantasyfootball, I'm ready for anothergo-round.

This year I upped the ante byjoining a second league. I won myother league last year, proudly,as the only woman in the league,very much a la Jenny MacArtherin FX's "The League."

So far, so good. I am 1-1 in myESPN league, made up of collegefiiends who are now spread

across the country. In my newleague, in which I actually onlyknow three other players, I'm 2-0.

I'm from Texas and football hasalways been a big part of my life,so it only seemed natural to startplaying fantasy. Thankfully, I cannot only hang with the boys, but Ican beat them, too.

I grew up watching my accountant mom play fantasy football onprinted out spreadsheets. Thosedays are gone. Everything, fromthe draft to trades and scoring, is

Don Gray.Go!3Although you live in

Vancouver, Washington, now,you have a long connection withNortheast Oregon?

Gray: Yes. I was born in 1948and raised in La Grande. I livedin Union for many years, thenFlagstaff, Arizona (1994-1999),Murrieta, California (1999-2007),back to Union (2007-2013) andVancouver (2013-present).

Go!: When did you get yourstart in art?

Gray: I drew obsessively asa small child. I had the goodfortune to gain something of areputation for this through myschool years, where I was kind ofconsidered the "class artist" (oneof the advantages ofliving in asmall town). This helped me identify as an artist from early on. Igraduated from what was thenEastern Oregon College in 1970,with an art ed degree, taughthigh school art for one year, in

Lizz Wright 'Freedom 8LSurrender' (Concord)

Lizz Wright effortlesslystraddles genres, with soul, folk,jazz and gospel prominent in themix — even though she has apenchant for covers of rock songsby the likes of Neil Young and LedZeppelin.

Her albumsoften stress one stylewithin the seductive melange: 2003's"Salt" and 2005's"Dreaming Wide

Wright A w ake" identifiedas jazz; her previous

album, 2010's "Fellowship," wasfull of gospel standards.

Produced by Larry Klein, whohas done similar work with JoniMitchell, Madeleine Peyroux, andTracy Chapman, the new "Freedom & Surrender" is Wright'smost soulful record.

It's a warm, thoughtful, slowburning set featuring originalssuch as the amorous"RightWhereYou Are" (a duet with GregoryPorter) and the funky"Freedom."And her covers still im press.

She turns Nick Drake's "RiverMan" and the Bee Gees"To LoveSomebody" into restrained, sexy,slow jams.

Walla Walla, Washington."Martin showed up in some

thing like an Econoline vanpulling a trailer with just a guitarand some light gear," Goss recalls."I helped him pack some stuff in.He started sound checking in theballroom at the Marcus WhitmanHotel. He had my attention atsoundcheck. I've been talking himup ever since."

That show was sold out, andGoss hopes the Enterprise showfollows suit.

"I want people to see this guy,"Goss said."By far he's the mosttalented musician at his own craftthat I've seen."

'Turn it Loose" and "A Tributeto Cornerstones" are Goss's mostrecent recordings. He's now working on a new project with originalrecordings that should be releasednext spring.

Sexton's studio albums are thetamale with all the trimmings, including horns, piano, bass, drumsand back-up singers. On stage,with just himself and his guitar,he is known to follow in the footsteps ofhis folk-country and Deltablues singers heroes by using hisfeet, the palm ofhis left hand andhis voice, to simulate drums andbass. These accent his vocals andguitar chords. Often, Sexton runshis vocals through a guitar processor isimilar to Framptonl andadds his own unique jazz trumpetlike singing style.

'There's a moodiness to it — thecolors have such an emotion," shesaid."People can interpret it inmany ways, and that's OK."

Even though Crossroads islocated in a different county fromher home, Orlaske has alwaysbeen involved with the Baker artcenter.

"One of the first people I metwhen I came to Crossroads wasSue Orlaske and even though shewould have to travel she has beena regular part of the Crossroadsfamily," Savage said. "Sue is oneof those artists that is 'always thefirst' — always the first to donatea piece for gala, always the firstto respond to a plea for a newclass idea and always the firstto follow-up on being a featuredartist."

Now, whenever I come acrossanother book in the series, I diveright in and think of Betty, herspunkedaddle and how she couldhave easily been a character inMitford. My latest opportunitycame on a fortuitous visit to theMilton-Freewater library. Thelibrary was having a fundraiser,with hardcovers going for a dollar — in my price range — andpaperbacks going for 50 cents. Isaw several hardcovers that captured my imagination, including

a couple of spooky Dean Koontznovels. Koontz is an author introduced to me years ago by goodfiiend Chuck. Again, a deep diveinto Koontz's twisted mind makesme think fondly of the slightlyless twisted Chuck, who has sincemoved away to a better job in theTri-Cities, Washington.

Having a limited budget, Ibought only the Karon novel"Inthe Company of Others." This bookfocuses on Father Tim's vacationtrip to a fishing lodge in Ireland.All sorts of characters convergefrom several Americans infectedwith the piscatorial bug to an ebullient women's card club and thepeople who run the lodge and theirtroubled if talented daughter — tobounce off each other. Karon deftlyweaves in historic melodrama withcurrent trials and tribulations.

There is a certain wholesomeness to Karon's novels that somemight find ofFputting but I findendearing. She draws multigenerational characters. All are peculiar.Some are goody two-shoes, othersmean and nasty. Mysteries wait tobe solved, which keeps me rivetedand turning the pages.

The main character, FatherTim, reminds me in ways of myown minister friend, and I rootfor Father Tim as he tries to bringorder from chaos. The series givesme hope, even with Mitford life'smany loose ends. Some charactersrebufFchances at redemption andwith enthusiasm continue on theirunhappy paths. Others, throughFather Tim's usually patient counsel, eventually find paths to a happier future, despite self-inflictedwounds along the way.

When I finish the book, I'llreturn it to the library so it can besold again. I'd like to see Karon'sstories in the hands of as manyreaders as possible. The books area great escape and a morality talespotlighting life at once perfectand perfectly flawed.

JOSEPH — From 10 a.m.to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, those inJoseph will find artists out andabout for the annual Paint theTown Plein Air art event.

The artistic phrase "Plein Air" isa French expression meaning"inthe open air."Artists will be standing or sitting before their easelsalong the sidewalks of Joseph,capturing their images on canvas.

Among the many participating painters will be Val Carson ofNewport Beach, California ivalcarson.coml. Upon learning Carsonwas coming to visit her family inJoseph at that time, event organizers invited her to participate.

"I've been painting since I was alittle girl," she says."I love Joseph— it's such an art-y town."

Carson has taught art tostudents ages 3 years to 75 years;from every grade to college, including developing an art curriculumfor Coastline College. She is quickto explain plein air art in an understandable manner:

was dispensed in tubes, artistswould use mortar and pestle togrind the pigment and mix it withoil. This process prohibited artistsfrom painting outdoors. Instead,they would draw their objects withpen and ink, then go inside andcreate the painting. Tube paint allowed artists to practice their craftas they stood before the actualsubject in the natural world.

"Plein air painters paint thelight falling on objects, not the objects themselves. They must paintquickly because the light changesquickly. Hence plein air paintersbecame also known as impressionists when a critic at an early

exhibition said, That's not a painting, that's an impression.' Frenchimpressionist Monet was verysuccessful during his lifetime."

Paint The Town Plein Air is notlimited to painters, however. Thosewho draw and sketch will also beincluded. Artists welcome conversations with onlookers regardingtheir projects.

A Quick Draw will be held atthe corner of Main Street and FirstStreet at 2:30 p.m. Throughout theday, individual artists will havetheir artwork for sale.

Eastern Oregon Universitywill spring back to life during thisweek's Week of Welcome.

Starting today, the incoming freshmen moving into theresidence halls as w ell as transferand international students willhave many events just for them towelcome them onto campus andinto La Grande.

"Orientation will be very different," said Vice President ofStudent Services Xavier Romano.''We're going to be taking students

off campus and showing them thebeautiful region we live in."

Outdoor day is a new addition toWOW. The students will be loadedonto a bus and taken to the BlueMountain 4-H Camp, which will beturned into the"EOU Base Camp."

Romano said the students willspend Thursday out at the camp.

''We want to get them familiarwith the area," Romano said."There will outdoor activities for

them to do and bind them to LaGrande and the environment andget them engaged. This is an introduction to a range of support thatthey're going to receive at EOU."

In addition to the EOU BaseCamp, the orientations will alsoinclude separate ones for nontraditional and transfer students coming to the university, Romano said.

The week will also includeEOU's second home football game,this one versus Rocky Mountainon Saturday, and EOU's men's andwomen's soccer games on Fridayand Saturday.

"The whole iWeek of Welcome)vibe is fundamentally different,"Romano said.

Romano is excited for this year'sWOW events and said once classstarts they will have already had agreat start to the university.

'The optimism and enthusiasmwill permeate to hand them off toawesome faculty," he said."They'regoing to be getting more of theexperience you'd get at a privateinstitution. It's all about them. Thepassion of the faculty is excitingto see."

Popular events returning thisyear are Playfair, a show bytrickster-hypnotist Josh McVicarand an inspirational speech fromWill Keim.

"McVicar has been performingat WOW for many years and isback by popular demand," saidKathryn Shorts, WOW coordinator."His show is my favorite eventof the year. He does an amazingjob with the students."

Shorts said the Keim speechhas also been an EOU WOWtradition for many years.

"Over the course of his career,he has given speeches to morethan 2 million students at morethan 1,000 campuses," Shorts said.''We count ourselves lucky to be a

part of those numbers."The kick-off speaker's message to

the students, she said, is about therealities of college and how to adjustto this new chapter in their lives.

Another new event this year isCapture the Flag. Ten teams willscatter across the campus in thedark to play the game.

Shorts said the goal ofWeekofWelcome is to help acdimate newEOU students to campus and collegelife in a fun and safe environment.

"By focusing on team building and helping to form lastingfriendships," she said, "we hope toensure a good transition betweenhigh school and EOU."

ften I have wished walls couldtalk and tell stories of the

past — crumbling homesteadsin the middle of nowhere, or themines that gave fortunes in gold.

The Geiser Grand Hotel wasbuilt in 1889, and many buildingsfiom that era still stand on BakerCity's Main Street, most preservedor restored to the original elegance.

Twice a week, there is a chanceto travel back in time to when goldmines were won and lost in cardgames, bordellos lined Main Streetand people were starting to make alife in Baker City.

The Step Back in Time tourstarts at 3:30 p.m. every Fridayand Saturday at the GeiserGrand, 1995 Main St.

The cost is $2, and advancetickets are required by calling541-523-1889. Space is limited.

Guests are greeted by DennyGrosse, dressed as if she steppedout of the 1800s.

This tour is for locals and visitors — she not only tells the storyof the hotel, but also the history ofBaker City.

Take the wide Main Street, forinstance, which was made so ateam of mules and a wagon couldturn around.

We're also lucky to have manyoriginal buildings — about 100 onthe National Register of HistoricPlaces. In the 1940s, many werecovered with sheets of metal for amodern look.

floor. Guests can either take thestairs — original to the hotel witha curving design — or take a ridein the elevator.

The Geiser Grand had the thudelevator westof the Mssissippi River.

'The whole hotel was designedfor elegance," she says.

This hotel, however, wasn'tpreserved as well as neighboringbuildings.It lodged cast members of the

The building was bare whenthey bought it.

'There was not a stick of furniture, no light fixtures, no plumbing."

Scott has a long interest inrailroads and area history. Helearned a lot from his granddad,Dave Scott, and his granddad'sbrother, Tom, who had mills onSmith Mountain and CricketFlat.

The train, Harlan Scott said,opened up the area to logging. Hetells stories to train riders aboutthe tributaries of the GrandeRonde River where narrow trackswere laid to haul logs.

'There became quite a demandfor railroad ties in those earlydays," Scott said."A lot of peoplewho had been unemployed earlyin the 20th century got into hewing out railroad ties."Scott also talks about splash

dam logging. Loggers would decklogs in front of temporary dams.

''With the aid of dynamite andreleasing water, they would letthem go," he said. "There weremen with pike poles that rode thelogs down. The logs were alwaysgetting hung up, and these menhad to get them loose.

"Sometimes it was with acharge of dynamite," Scott said."It's probably not a job for the

people of today."Scott said he often wonders

what the people in WallowaCounty did before the railroadcame to the area.

"How did they get their grainand produce out?n he said. "Theywere pretty locked in, in this remote area. From a lumber angle,the train opened up much of the

According to a history compiledby local train enthusiast David Arnold, hauling logs to local sawmillswas the train's main activity between World War I and the GreatDepression.
