I may be the only 21-year-old alive who likes to spend my Saturday nights piecing together jigsaw puzzles, but I love it. Since Istartedthreeyearsago,Ihave completed more than 30 puzzles.

Ihavefour newspaper-themed puzzles.

Ihaveseveralthatare closeto 1,000 piecesand some thatarecloseto 100.Ieven have three 3-D puzzles.

Prior to coming to La Grande, however, I did not have any customized puzzles.

My student newspaper adviser

sent a house-warming gift to the office, and my coworker said she thought the gik was broken. I knew it had to be a puzzle.

Before I left my university, the adviserstook agroup photo of all the editors, with little old me, Editor-in-Chief in the center. My adviser took that group photo to a local store and had it made into a puzzle.

Itwas by farthe coolestpuzzle I had ever received. But just a few weeks later, my coworker, Carolyn, topped it.

Carolynfound out about my

interest in puzzling and set about having one of my first Go! coversconverted intoa puzzleat Walmart.

Both customized puzzles are now completed and glued together, sitting proudlyin my apartment.

Even if you're not into puzzling, customized photos can make for really thoughtful gifts. As someone who has now received two, I can say it feels really great to receive a special photo in such a unique form.

NlllSl l}fLN Catching up with one of Northeast Oregon's favorite artists:

Catching up with Brian Vegter of Baker City Go!: When did you discover art?

Vegter: I discovered art really young. My parents encouraged m e to be creative from as long as I can remember. The first art show I remember taking part in was a drawing contest at the public library in Downers Grove, Illinois. My piece won second or thirdplace and the library bought me any book I wanted. I think I was 5 or 6 years old and I got a Boris and Morris Halloween book.

Go!: Who is your biggest influence?

Vegter: Photographer William Wegman and paintersWayne Thiebaud and Frank Frazetta.

We once looked up Frank Frazetta in the phone book and called his home/museum and we got to go meet him in person. It was a truly incredible to meet someone who's work I grew up copying and to see his work in

Go!: What's your favorite medium and subject? Why? Vegter: Dogs, bicycles and Airstreams are my favorite subjects because I spend so much time with them and get so much inspiration from all of them.

Acrylic is my medium of choice.

Go!: What advice would you

give aspiring artists?

Vegter: Do something creative, no matter what it is — painting, drawing orwriting everyday.

Find a subject you like, learn composition and you'll find an audience that will want to buy your work. Love for your subject and knowledge of good composition are the key to making great art.

Animal Collective 'Painting

With' (Domino)

Animal Collective's 11th album opens with"FloriDada," a crazysounding, hodgepodge tribute to both the Sunshine State and the European art movement that sounds like Noah"Panda Bear" Lennox, Dave "Avey Tare" Portner and Brian"Geologist"Weitz are bouncing off the walls to expend all the artistic energy they are packing into the song, from tongue twisters to jittery rhythms. And thereare severalsongs like "Hocus Pocus" where Lennox and Portnertrade offlead vocalson everyother syllable,creating a ping-pongingeffectthatforcesthe listener to listen to the lyrics even more carefully just to figure out what's happening.

However, the band is also delivering more "normal" indie-rock songs like the straightforward "Golden Gal," which quotes "The Golden Girls" dialogue, adds sweet harmonies, and bops along at aradio-friendly paceto praise women. On the sleek, synthy "Bagels in Kiev," their intricate harmonies make the fascinating story more dramatic, even as they declare"Bagels foreveryone!"

Symphony tells Steries threugh Music The Grande Ronde Symphony Orchestra's annual children's concert has "sold out," filling the nearly 450 seats in the McKenzie Theatre with children from La Grande, Baker, Joseph schools at no charge. There is still, however, time to get admittance into the full-length evening performance on March 2.

Both GRSO concerts, led by music director Zeke Fetrow, will follow the theme of storytelling through music.

"Just like an old favorite storybook, a piece of music is something you mayhave heard a long tim e ago, and it can still be powerful today," Fetrow said."That's where I got the idea for this theme."

Patty Sandoz, president of the GRSO's board ofdirectors,said Fetrow has been trying to build concerts around themes. ''We identify music to fit in each theme," Sandoz said.'The storybook idea just seemed to fit with the annual kids' concert."

The children's concert will feature the musical story of"Peter and the Wolf' by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev. The piece will also be performed during the evening concert at 7:30 p.m.

Eastern Oregon Uuniversity biology professor John Rinehart will narrate the story, with the characters represented musically. The bird, for instance, is represented by flute. The wolf is portrayed by French horns.

Peter is represented by the string section.

The GRSO Stories through Music concert will also include "Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture" by Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky, "Night on Bald Mountain"

by Modest Mussorgsky, "Coriolan Overture" by Ludwig van Beethovenand"Finlandia"by Jean Sibelius during the evening concert.

"One of the big things we're focusing on is playing music people want to hear and music that is popular," Fetrow said.

cI |~J 'Burnt River' full of twists and turns t

f I told you that the title of this book being the same as the valley I grew up in had absolutely nothing to do with my anticipation in reading it, that would be a lie. It was more of a coincidence, however. This is the second installment in the Macy Greely mysteries by crime fiction writer Karin Salvalaggio, and it actually takes place in Montana.

Her first novel,"Bone Dust White," had me hooked. I should mention that it isn't crucial to the main plot of this story to read "Bone Dust White" first, but it is important to know the background of Detective Macy Greely.

In"Bone Dust White," she is pregnant with her boss's child. Ray is married, but swears he's leaving his wife.

In"Burnt River," we catch up with Macy, who is now a single mother to 18-month-old Luke and still in limbo in regard to the relationship with Ray. The fact that he is her superior

What's selling?

complicates things further. Macy finds that she can't be a good detective and be assubmissive as Ray would prefer her to be.

Ray cannot seem to keep their personal and professional life separate. The more independent she is, relying on her own hunches and experience, the more difficult he becomes. Macy feels the shame of what they've done — mostly what she's done to herself.

Will her bad decision put her career in danger?

"Burnt River" begins as Macy is sent to Wilmington Creek in NorthernMontana during a wildfire season, complete with a triple-digit drought, to investigate the murder of John Dalton, a soldier just returning home from Afghanistan. John was found shot execution style in an alley behind a popular local bar, The Whitefish.

The circle of fiiends surrounding John have kept a secret to protect his twin sister, Jessie. She is a junkie in recovery, raising

This novel has a subplot about a dangerous local militia 4ow timely!) and the undercover officer, named Lmdsay, mvestIgatmg them. When Lindsay's body is found near her abandoned vehicle, the plot thickens. Are the deaths related?

I read this novel in one week, and found myself setting it down to pace myselfbecause I enjoyed it so much. I knew twists were coming, and I knew that a lot of loose ends had to be tied up in the second half. I honestly had no clue what the big reveals would be.

In the end, every character and event is connected. Everything eventually comes to light. Rivers dry upand revealtheirsecrets.

March is Women's History Month, and what better time is there to celebrate localwomen?

At least, that's what Josephy Center Executive Director Cheryl Coughlan asked herself when she started the women's month exhibit there two years ago.

"The goal is to celebrate women in history and art, especially women's accomplishments locally," Coughlan said.eWe want to share what they do to strengthen women in the community. We want to bring to light all the aspects of what women do to gain notoriety in society."

Coughlan said the idea came about after years in the arts industry. She had noticed that women were not represented nearly as often as men.

"I did some research and found thatwomen made up about 55 percentofthose enrolled in artclasses in schools, but they are underrepresented in the working field," she sard.

Coughlan, who became the directorofthecenterin 2013,said she doesn't know of any other places in Oregon that does something like this women's exhibit.

in NY Toy Fair NEW YORK iAP1 —From a preschool toy designed toteach pre-coding skills to a hands-on molecule-building set for older kids that works with an app, technology abounded at this year's Toy Fair.

The annual showcase of upcoming toys held recently in New York included a slew of tech-related products from the titans of the toy industry and tiny startups, all looking to attract increasingly tech-savvy kids.

Here are the highlights. Some of the toys are educational, while others are just kind of cool. All of them aresetto goon sale thisfall unless otherwise specified.

Code-A-Pillar

(Fisher-Price, $50) Even preschoolers can learn the basics ofcoding.That' sthe idea behind this toy, which is aimed at kids ages 3 to 6.

The Code-a-Pillar is made up ofdifferent colored sections connected by USB plugs. The sections perform different commands such as go straight, turn right or make varioussound effects.

Kids "program" the toy by connecting the various sections in a particular order. While the toy doesn't teach an actual coding language, it does try to impart some of the same critical thinking and problem solving skills that coding does.

A starter kit includes eight sections, but expansion packs featuring additional commands will be sold separately.

ThingMaker 30 Printer

(Mattel, $300) Kids use an app to design items such as action figures and jewelry.

They can choose the colors and

shapes they want, then send their design to the ThingMaker to print.

The app shows them what their finished product will look like and also gives an estimated print time.

The ThingMaker can be preordered through Amazon. Pricing forthe spoolsofplasticused in the printer has yet to be determined.

MakerBloks

($200) These circuit builder sets are specifically designed for young children. The blocks, which look a lot like dominos, connect with m agnets and areeasy forlittle hands to manipulate.

The company offers three sets of 26blocks,each with a separate theme: music, circuitry and spy.

There's a tablet app with each set to tell a story, prompting the kids to build certain kinds of circuits.

MakerBloks, designed for kids 6 and up, launches this summer and will be sold through the company's website, though talks with retailers are under way.

SelfieMic

(Moose Toys, $25) Thistoy letskidscreate and share their own pop music videos.

It's basically a selfie stick with a microphone on one end. It comes with an earpiece and works with a smartphone app.

Kids sing into the microphone, while the smartphone app plays the music and the smartphone's camera films them singing and places them into the music video.

There are optional sound and video effects and the videos, which don't need to be stored on the phone and take up space, can be shared.
