The snapping of the lens shutter is comingfrom my iPhone and not my DSLR nowadays. Some of my coworkers at The Observer think I'm somewhat crazy when I've taken my phone on assignment and come out with a page-one photo.

Go!: When did you discover art?

Cothren:Art reached out and spun me around in college.

Totally unexpected. I was busy pursuing my first love, writing books at the time, but art kept edging its way in. Then, right beforeIgraduated,Itook a painting class and that was it!

Go!: Who is your biggest influence?

Cothren: Thisis a tough one because there are so many inspirational people! I have had so many great teachers in my life, including Einstein and Rauschenberg, but I am influenced by anyone who can invoke emotion through music, poetry, paintings, fashion, architecture, dancing — itisa never-ending discovery.

Go!: What's your favorite medium and subject? Why?

Cothren: I just can't help myself, abstract art all the way.

It allows complete freedom.

The antidote to perfectionism!

I was lucky to grow up surrounded bygreat craftspeople with backgrounds in science.

I was a complete disaster in thoseareas,butitgave me a foundation of curiosity.

Go!: What advice would you giveaspiring artists?

Cothren: Don't worry about labeling yourself. Create and explore freely. Go to art museums — get close enough to smell the paint and see the brush strokes. Absorb your favoriteart.Letitbeyourdiving board. Come on in, the water's gorgeous!

Cothren's artwork is currently on display at the Baker County Public Library in Baker City.

The Cactus Blossoms 'You're Dreaming' (Red House Records) JD McPherson was the perfect choice for producing the Cactus Blossoms' new album, 'You're Dreaming." McPherson, after all, is responsible for making authentic throwback rockabilly cool — and more so contemporary — on his own two recent albums. Behind the production board, he steers the Twin Cities siblings' vintage mix of swaying harmonies, early rock 'n'roll influences and tender melodies with the lilting resonance of their electric guitars.

The comparisons with these brothers — Jack Torrey and Page Burkum — to Philand Don Everly are inevitable. But this is a sound thatisdeemed classicfor areason, and the Cactus Blossoms tap it to its best potential within their own original songwriting. In their paired voices,"Change Your Ways or Die" chugs along with its dire lyrical warnings to a railroad undertone, "Stoplight Kisses" bops and struts timelessly and DNo More Crying the Blues" rumbles along a dark highway of snare drum andreverberatingstrings.

with a loving mother who stressed the importance oflearning and of maintainirg high goals in life.

His father mainlyimparted his philosophy of working hard and not expecting anything fiom anyone.

When Evelynne's father buys her a new horse, Zion is hired to break the young colt. As Evelynne observes the process day after day and week after week, she is

strangely drawn to the quiet giant who can relate so well to the horse, yet can hardly manage to say more than a few words to her. When she attemptsto expressherfeelings, he panics and runs off, leaving her conflicted about the results ofher direct behavior.

In the meantime, William and Raymond are making a name for themselves on the rodeo circuit and eventuall ycome to arodeo attended

by Evelynne. Now the bold one is William, who despite the risk of talking to a white woman, let alone the daughter of"Baron" Lowrey, approaches Evelynne and casually starts a conversation.Again, Evelynne is captivated by this man so different fiom anyone in her realm and she responds to his interest. Torn between her attraction and thefearofherfather'sreaction,she

Chocolate goes with anything, even wine e recentrevelation that chocolate, specifically dark becauseithaslesssugar,isactually "good for you" was something that manyofushave known for ages.

Chocolate makes us feel good.

It is more than just the deliciousness,the richness,the aromas and the intense flavors. Chocolate just seems to make things better, right?

So scientific evidence that dark chocolate is loaded with antioxidants and a bit of iron and that eating chocolate causes our body to produce endorphins (the burst of productive energy you get from exercise as well as the giddy glow of falling in love) was just the excuse we needed to justify learning more about chocolate!

The marketresponded. A multitude of small businesses have blossomed by developing new ways to enjoy chocolate. There are cocoas with chunks of cocoa nibs (the raw bean from the cocoa plant) as well as cocoas blended with rose petals and spices. New chocolate bars made with no added sugars but filled with nuts and fruit are offered as'fuel'bars.

There are drinking chocolates, like the intensely smooth creamy cups served at Peterson's Gallery in BakerCityand even wine and beers made with chocolate.

If you consult the internet, the convenient encyclopedia of our times, you'll find dozens (if not hundreds) of contradictions about pairing wine with chocolate. Everyone has an opinion and there are "rules"'about what wines should be paired with what foods.

I've always, and not so secretly, believedthat ruleswere made for breaking. I'd even say that regardingchocolate,those rules are so "last century." It's not like we're suggesting serving Woodward Canyon Cabernet with Hershey's Kisses!

Ingredients • 1/4 cup cocoa powder • 1 cup roasted hazelnuts (or raw almonds) • 2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts (or almonds) • 7 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (or sub semi-sweet) • 1/2 cup good extra virgin olive oil • 1 teaspoon salt • 2/3 cup sugar (raw cane is perfect) • 4 large eggs, separated and room temperature • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Directions Preheat oven to 325 degrees and prepare 8-inch loaf pan or 9-inch terrine by lightly buttering and dusting with flour or finely ground nuts.

In a food processor, pulse cocoa and nuts until fine.

Melt chocolate in double boiler (1/4 cup water in the base) until smooth. Remove from heat.

Whisk in olive oil and salt.

Stirring continuously, add nut Really good chocolate desserts are more about texture, intensity and layers of flavors than just sugar sweetness. That's where the marriage of wine becomes an interesting conversation.

In general, the wine should be sweeter than the chocolate you're serving it with. If you want to serve red wine, you'll find that bittersweetchocolate works best whether you choose dark chocolate truffles, Pots de Creme or the Bella CocoaNut Tea Cake.

The two reds that go well with dark chocolate are the also the main grapes grown in the Northwest, Pinot noir from the Willamette Valley and Cabernet Sauvignonfrom the Columbia Valley/Walla Walla area.

It's a wine I describe as curvy and soft, a wine for lovers!

Cabernet Sauvignon tends to be more powerful and bold. It can have complex aromas including plums, berries, cedar, smoke, leather and tends to be lush and velvety when well made. It's got strong shoulders and long lean lines, it's the real cowboy (cowgirl) of the wine world.

There are dessert wines from around the world that pair well with chocolate.

Banyuls (and wines like Maury) are perfect for Chocolate Dipped Apricots or Chocolate Orange gelato.

Moscato and the softer sparking wines like Cremant, Cava, Loire and Limoux (which are also the best values in bubbly wine) are a safebet forany chocolate dessert from profi teroles,pavlova and petit fourstopeppemint patties.

Chocolate is one of the delights oflife that we give special attention to in the month of February.

Like fine wine, it's something that with moderate indulgence can elevate any moment to a more memorable and cherished page in our collected stories. Cin Cin! Beverly Catder owns Betta.

WHERE I ATE:The Creperie Cafe,7709W. OverlandRd., Boise WHAT I ORDERED: Strawberry Nutella Crepe THE VERDICT: Crepes. NeedI say more? I probably don't, but I will. The Creperie Cafe is located right across from the Boise Imax theater on Overland Road.The small business serves nothing but crepes and it's heavenly.

There are dinner option crepes and dessert crepes, and alot of them. I was looking for a raspberry cream cheesecombo, but alas, they didn't have it. I chose the Strawberry Nutella one and I have nocomplaints.

Just a full stomach and alove for that hazelnut chocolatey goodness. I wasmade fun of for using a knife to cut the crepe by my friends, but sincewalked I awaywith no stains on my shirt I'm going to say itwas a good choice. It waseasy to make a mess.

The dishcost$8or so, buta single crepe is definitely big enough to fill you up. I can't say that I've ever experienced a restaurant that just serves crepes so it was worth the price.They had a wall full of differentcrepes to try and there were several that I was debating about —there was one withalemonsauce and another one involving cream cheeseand cinnamon.

Ifyou're in the areaand havea hankering for something sweet, it's certainly a place to try.

Pianist KeithTaylor plays an hour of ragtime and Early American music every Friday, starting at 4:30 p.m., at Crossroads Carnegie Art Center, in Baker City.

Keith Taylor hovers his hands over the piano and the audience chatter fades in anticipation.

Suddenly his fingers blur as they dance across the black and white keys, filling the room with the fastpaced sound of ragtime music.

Smilesspread across the facesof his audience, and a few quietly keep time with tapping toes or fingers.

And he is here, every Friday, to play for free.

"He's tremendous — he's a gift to the community," Barb Kuhl said after Taylor's performance. She and her mother, Betty Kuhl, come to hear Taylor nearly every Friday.

Taylor has shared his piano playing

with Baker City at various venues in town, and his current gig is playing at 4:30 p.m. Fridays at Crossroads Carnegie Art Center's downstairs space, 2020 Auburn Ave.

A Lifatime of Music Taylor specializes in ragtime and early American music popular from 1900 to 1925.

"It was the pop music of that era," he said.

He began playing ragtime in 1972, but said "my whole life has been music."

He's a natural teacher, too — a holdover from his years teaching music in public school in Los Angeles.
