line widths and shading. Paper is what Pencil touches on an iPad. The app syncs the stylus using bluetooth technology so the iPad knows not to sense the extra pressure when your palm is resting on the screen. The app includes different types of tools like pens, pencils and watercolors. You can even blend colors with your fingers. Taking notes, drawing diagrams and drawing on photos are also easy to do. What you do with your artwork can get exciting. FiftyThree has created a sortofsocial network to host your work called
Remix, which allows artists to collaborateon piecestogether or simply star other artists' work to show appreciation. Artists can add their own flare to somebody's work and keep collectively adding to it to create an entirely new piece. Remix gives a unique fun side to drawing with other people. The Paper app is free for iOS devices. There has been no word on any Android or Windows development. Pencil can be ordered online or bought at limited electronic retailers like Target and Apple. — Tim Mustoe,Go!
Catching up with one of Northeast Oregon's favorite artists:
Catchingup with Union'sTracy Case Go!: When did you discover art? Case: When I was born. It's been forever ago — it's just something I've always done. Go!: Who is your biggest influence? Case: My mother. She's been an artist forever, and she's never gotten any recognition whatsoever for her work. She's 77 and continues to paint. She has wonderful insight. She's my biggest inspirationand my biggest fan. Go!: What's your favorite medium subject? Case: For many years, my favorite paint medium would be acrylic. I loved the bright colors. I liked to paint flowers, butterflies and animals. In the last year, I have gotten into welding. I've alwayshad a loveofgeology;Iloveeverything about it. And at the same time I've loved rusty metalI'vecollected bucketsofrusty metal . When I first started doing sculpture, I was gluing rustymetal objectstopolished rocks and some of them would weigh 150 pounds. People loved thembut I never sold one. My great-grandmotherwas a rock hound and I have probably a thousand pounds ofher rocks that I've moved my whole life — every time I moved, I moved rocks. I always wanted to learn how to weld, and when

Tracy Case's welded works of art can currently be seen at ShortTerm Gallery in Baker City. I met my husband, he taught me. I started building stuff — first really small, then birdbaths. He has every piece of equipment known to man, and I've learned to use it all. All of a sudden I have over half the shop and I have great big iron tables that hold thousands of pounds. That's happened in one year. Go!: What advice would you give aspiring artists? Case: To do it. Whatever it is, just do it. Just start. Don't let time or money hold you back. It's important to your spiritual self and your sense of wonderment.

'Beautiful' the musical As jukebox musicals go — which is not usually veryfar — this engrossingretelling of the life and career of Carole Kingfar outshines, outpaces and outperforms"Jersey Boys," thepreviousrecord holderfor formula-driven musical success. The show, fueled byAbby Mueller's extraordinary performance in the lead role, opened its six-dayrun March 15 in Shea's PerformingArts Center. Too manyjukebox shows suffer fiom a blind overreliance on their source material, leaving dialogue and plot construction in the hands ofpeoplewhose talentforwords pales in comparison to the composer's talentform usic.N otso in"Beautiful,"which thrives not only because of its head-spinning litany ofhits by King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, but because of Douglas McGrath's stunning and whip-smart book Before the show, I had no specialized knowledge in ~s career beyond a surface-level familiarity with her work... It was for this reason that I was perhaps the perfect candidate for the production, which instantlyinserts its hooks into audience members'brains and sweeps them into an irresistible story of ambition, competition, heartbreak and the costofsuccess. — Colin Dabkowski, The Buffalo News

How would you pack your wagon?' Your first task: take everything out of the wagon. Now, look over the canvascoveredfoam blocksofassorted sizes and decide, based on the provided weight, what you11 take as your family leaves home for a trek west on the Oregon Trail. You can carry no more than 2,400 pounds in one wagon. Do you take heirlooms or leave those behind? What about a tent? Sugar, flour and lard seem necessary. The interactive exhibit is called Wagons Ho!, and it is open through July 4 at the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center's Flagstaff Gallery near Baker City. Visitors of all ages — but especially kids — can take a turn at packing the wagon while aiming for the 2,400-pound limit. If you were to pack every single item, the total weight would be 3,415 pounds, forcing one to ditch some items or buy another wagon. The exhibit comes with a worksheet to help add up the weight, doubling as a fun way to practice addition. Wagons Ho! was created in 2007

JosephMeek,a m ountain man and fur trapper. Martin dresses the part, all in iinged leather and a worn hat f snug on his head. "Good morning there, greenhorns!" he greets the audience."My name is Joseph Lafayette Meek, but you can call me Joe." Meek was a real person who came west in 1828, and Martin shares some of the more colorful stories — tall tales, some of them. Martin portrays Meek as the born storyteller he was, spinning yarns about seeking shelter in a cave with rattlesnakes, run-ins with the Blackfoot tribe and coming upon a barren landscape that seemed right out ofhis preacher's story of fire and brimstone. "Just follow the Yellowstone River; you11 see them open plains ofboiling lakes," he says. After the program, Martin breakscharacterto talk about Meek, who was a grand storyteller but not much of a writer. Meek died in 1875 and was buried near what is now Hillsboro. The"Joe Meek" program can be seen again at 11 a.m. Saturday. A schedule of programs is distributed at businesses in Baker City, and is also available online at www.oregontrail.blm.gov.

Devon Galiszewski's piece will be at the Nightingale GalleryApril1-15.
Four students will be featured in Eastern Oregon University's Nightingale Gallery as part of the senior showcase beginning April 1. The first exhibit is called Residual Connections. eWe all came up with that name," artist Devon Galiszewski said.eWe were trying to find a theme that would work with all of our art. We each work in very different areas, but this seemed to be a connection." The title seemed fitting for the collection of works that feature connections between nature and industry, self and family history, church and nature and energy and life. The exhibit, which opens with a reception from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., will be available through April 15. The gallery is located in Loso Hall on EOU's campus, 1 University Blvd.,
La Grande. It is open noon to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Cory Peeke, the director of the Nightingale Gallery, said a second exhibit will open April 22. That show, Figuratively Speaking, will feature the work of Victoria Davis, Donni Later, Erica Hitzman, Sheyenne Johnson and Maddie Royce.
Devon Galiszewski, Baker City Galiszewski' screations feature elements of environment, including wood, chemicals and decaying buildings. Although she cares about the environment, Galiszewski said she wouldn't describe herself as an environmentalist. "I'm just drawn to organic images," she said."I like playing with the dialogue between the two."

The artist said she encourages viewers at the exhibition to start from afar. "I hope people take it in from a distance first, then they can move up and notice all the details and things that went into it," she said. As an art major and business minor, Galiszewski hopes to work in marketing or graphic design someday. After graduation, she plans to move to Chicago to pursue her career.

k3with its marquee meets film postercover.In thecenter,a young woman in a ticket booth, shadowy figures on either side with a bright New York skyline below. Inspired by an essay in Joseph Mitchell's collection, Up in the Old Hotel, the novel brings the young woman, Mazie, to life. Alternating between excerpts of Mazie's diary, her unpublished autobiography, and documentarystyleinterviews,Attenberg creates a fictional portrait of an independent woman who follows her own rulestoaid those she loves. Largely chronological, the book unfolds from 1907 to the near the present. The alternating sections are usually brief and often seeming to respond to one another, with a question or mystery in a diary entry and an answer given in an interview. The interviewed are those who knew Mazie or their descendants. Each interviewed subject is skillfully portrayed, with Attenberg using the characters' speech patterns, memories, and personal troublesto createcredulous portraits. The subjects include George Flicker, a childhood neighbor of Mazie's, Lydia Wallach, the great-granddaughter of the Venice Theater's manager, Rudy, and Benjamin Hazzard, Jr., the son of Mazie's lover. Set in New York, Mazie's life began in Boston. Her relationships with her sisters, Rosie and Jeannie, are dynamic and believable. Rosie brings them to New York to live with her, away from their abusive father and distant mother. Louis Gordon, Rosie's husband, takes her sisters in and is a steadying force. He exemplifies the importance of family, despite his hinted at but never fully explored nefarious business dealings. Louis puts Mazie in charge of the ticket booth
of the Venice Theater. She first views the booth as an imprisonment, but it becomes her throne as the Queen of the Bowery. The theater manager Rudy's love of film, fellow aficionados, and late-night showings at the theater are some ofthetastesofauthentic 1920s New York Attenberg provides but does not pursue in depth. Attenberg gives Mazie an authentic voice suited to the era in which she lived and the fearlessness with which she behaves. Attenberg sprinkles seemingly simple statements throughout that are moving and wise. The historic events of the first few decades of the 20th century aretreated personally,neverwith a sweeping hand. The frenetic energy of the 1920s and Prohibition are felt in Mazie's diary through her writing style, behavior, and her sister Jeannie's adventures. Mazie is nonchalant about Prohibition, keepingtoherfavorite bar,teasing the beat offtcer, Mack, when she sees him drink fiom his flask.
With the crash and the Depression, Attenburg conveys the effects rather than the events. Mazie describes the changes in the city; how it was unkempt before Prohibition, cleaner during, and then morebedraggled during the Depression. The description of the changing atmosphere of the city is haunting. Mazie's literal view of the neighborhood from the theater ticket boothbecomes the reader'sview. She knows the men who passed through, the ones who become unemployedand homeless.She gives them all her spare change, walking through them in the streets, handing out blankets, change, food, and calling ambulances for the sick and dying. She neverfearsforher safety but feels only love and concern for the destitute. Attenberg captures the distinct energy and spirit of the first few decades of the 20th century, using the characters' voices and Mazie's own writing style. With skill and dexter-

Part of SXSW is 'Spring Ereak for nerds' NEW YORK — The smell of BBQ is in the air and talk about virtual reality, online privacy and the latest hot apps is on everyone's minds. It's time again for South by Southwest Interactive, an annual tech festival dubbed "Spring Break for nerds." The five-day festival, which kicks off Friday in Austin, Texas, is more freewheeling than other tech conferences like CES in Las Vegas and Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. It's where St. Bernards delivering Mophie smartphone chargers tofestivalgoers— as the charger maker arranged last year — can garner as much buzz as the apps brought to fame there, including Foursquare in 2009 and Twitter in 2007. "It'san interesting place to see what types of things are bubbling up in technology," said Ryan Hoover, founder of Product Hunt, a serviceforpeople to ratenew tech products."It has this mixture or collision of technology and entertainment. When different typesofminds and people are connecting together, new ideas come out." The festival has grown larger and more corporate over the years, with sponsors including McDonald's and Samsung, but it still draws aneclecticcrowd ofmo vers and shakers in the tech industry each year. This year's sessions include one on a futuristic transportation system, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, which aims to move people in a capsule inside an enclosedtube track at760 miles per hour — faster than commercial airliners. Twitter co-founder Biz Stone will discuss the evolution of online search, while"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" director J.J. Abrams and"The Jinx" director
Andrew Jarecki will tout Jarecki's new appforvideoediting and sharing, KnowMe. Even President Obama will make an appearance, the first for a U.S. president at the festival. He plans to talk about civic engagement with the editor-in-chief of The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit news outlet based in Austin. Ethan Kurzweil, a Bessemer venture capitalist who has attendedthe festivalforeight years, said that while South by Southwest Interactive is no longer the little-known yet influential festival it once was, "you can still hear people talking about the very-bleeding-edge consumer tech trends." South by Southwest Interactive is part of the larger SXSW festival, which also features sections for movies, music and games over 10
days. The interactive conference drew 33,825 registrants from more than 80 countries last year; the combined festival had about 80,000. Organizers drew criticism several months ago when, faced with threats, they canceled two panels on harassment in online video games.In response,the festival will hold a daylong "online harassment summit" on Saturday, with a slate of panels examining the problem of online harassment. Another hot topic will be the
U.S. government's demands that Applecreate a software program to bypasssecurit y featuresin an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino mass shooters. One panel will focus on ways to improve the relationship between the government and the tech industry, while preserving privacy and security. And virtual reality will continue to garnerbuzz,particularly as many systems such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Sony Playstation VR are expected to hit the market this year. Some sessions will be part of the SXSW gaming festival, which runs March 17 to 19. But the interactive festival will have such panels as "Holy light field! Creating lifelike presence in VR." And Samsung will show off VR chairs that offer motion simulation as people wear Samsung's
$100 VR headset, Gear VR.

ZOOTOPIA 108 min. ) PG ) Action, Animated Playing at Granada 3
In this sequel to the 2002 hit "My Big Fat GreekWedding", Toula (Nia Vardalos) finds her extended family rocked by the revelation that her mother and father were never really marriedwhich, of course, requires an even bigger Greek wedding than the previous so they can officially tie the knot. Meanwhile, Toula struggles to spice up her marriage with lan (John Corbett). She also copes with the fact that her daughter Paris (Elena Kampouris) wants to go to a distant college in order to get away from her overbearing family. Vardalos also wrote this sequel, which Kirk Jones directs. The entire original cast of family members returns.
In a city inhabited by anthropomorphic animals who have abandoned traditional predator/prey roles in favor of civilized coexistence, uptight rabbit police officer Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) is forced to work with charismatic fox con artist NickWilde (Jason Bateman) to crack a major case involving the mysterious disappearance of some carnivorous citizens. But when a few of the missing critters reappear, having reverted to pre-enlightenment savagery, it exposes existing anti-carnivore prejudice among the city's herbivores that threatens to damage the fabric of their diverse metropolis.
