Ever since the first hints of winter's end, my fiancee and I have been walking the Leo Adler Memorial Parkway that bisects most of Baker City.

Our weekly walks have been a greatway to observe just how much of a bite spring takes out of winter's dreary leafless hold over Baker City — a gradually changing landscape in which trees and shrubs erupt with bright green leaves. The best part is the smattering ofbeautiful color as they transform.

On Saturdays, we embark on a three-mile trek fiom where the paved path crosses Washington Street to Hughes Lane. The route takes you through a few neighborhoods, Geiser Pollman Park and follows Powder River for most of that stretch.

The sound ofbirds shouting out spring songs, especially the numerous red-winged blackbirds and chickadees, area delightfulsoundtrack to go along with frequent sightings ofbusy robins searching for worms and the occasional hawk swooping through thetreesalong theriver searchingforprey.

On Sundays, we head south fiom Washington Street. After passing through Central Park, the path ends after a couple ofblocks. From there we meander through the southern neighborhoods of Baker City to where the path begins again north of Wade William baseball field. This newest section of the pathway winds along the river and ends near the southern terminus of Resort Street.

K. Michelle'More Issues Than

Vogue'(Atlantic Records)

K. Michelle's whole life is a performance. The R. Kelly m entee's been aregular cast member on Love & Hip Hop, both the New York and Atlanta iterations. Down to the cover art, this record is tongue-in-cheek fun.

The Tennessee girl has professed a love of country, and her trailer -park-theme video forthe outstanding lead track, "Mindful"

iproduced by T-Pain), is a blast.

Still, there's no detectable country in these 12 tracks, only full-on urban R&B and hip-hop.

"Got Em Like" features production from Andre 3000 and Big Boi. My favorite, "Rich," features Yo Gotti and Trina and slays with lines like "I got rich-people problems." Jason Derulo's here, too, duetting with Michelle on the flirty "Make the Bed." Is this an overtgrab at FM notoriety? Perhaps, but it probably won't work. The singles "Not a Little Bit" and "Ain't You" are slow, delicate numbers that shine a light on her qualified pipes but don't capture the irreverence laced throughout this record.

Artist's varied talents make for a good show Charles Miller is seemingly capable of creating anything he wants — mimicking everything fiom Egyptian and Greek sculptures to 18th century portraitswith little to no formal training.

Miller said he had an experience at a young age that led to him not trusting teachers. As a result, he cannot read or write.

Instead, he tells stories through his art. And he is quite the storyteller.

"This is a boy and his grandmother," Miller said of one of his painting's subjects."He stole something, so she cut a whole in his apple and put a rat in it as punishment."

Another of Miller's stories is told in a series of illustrations of a young red-headed character.

'That story came to me in a dream," Miller said."It was like watching a movie. I saw the whole story, and then I woke up and I had to really quickly sketch what the boy looked like. I also recorded my voice describing the story, so I wouldn't forget it."

Miller's vivid dreams lead to countless stories and subsequent paintings.

'That guy there is Joseph," Miller said, gesturing to a portrait of a Civil War soldier."He came to me one day and showed me the battlefield. Joseph trusted me to

tell his story."

In addition to his paintings and clay sculptures, Miller has started designing dresses based on early 20th century styles.

"I was inspired to make clothes fiom the '20s and '30s," he said.

'That style is trulyAmerican; I love the wayit looks."

Miller said it took an entire summer to carve one wooden mannequin for his dresses.

Miller's work will be on display April 29 through May 28 at the Art Center East Satellite Gallery, located on the corner of 6th Street

The show is called SPINDER, which is also the name of a planet in Miller's science fiction graphic novel,"If I Could Change the Way of Man".

The art show opens with a reception fiom 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. April 29.

Miller said he wants to people to come to the reception to hear the stories behind each piece.

Miller will have a donation jar available to help fund a replacement sewing machine. His machine broke, and he would like to continue to make '20s-style dresses.

Making bronzesculptures from paper SK Cothren calls herself a"creative instigator," and next month she'll inspire her art students to turn plain paper into a bronze bird sculpture.

"I was hoping it would sound intriguing," she said of the workshop, her first to teach at Crossroads Carnegie Art Center in Baker City.

The class, designed for ages 13 and older, is called "One Bird, Two Bird, Fun Bird, Bluebird: Create Your Very Own Dream Bird." It meets two days, May 12 and May 19, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Crossroads, 2020Auburn Ave. The cost is $40 for Crossroads members, $70 for nonmembers,

and a $10 supply fee.

The class size is a minimum of six and a maximum of 20.

Beginners are welcome.

"Ilovetheenergy oflarge groups. Everybody empowers each other," Cothren said. eAfler all, we're all beginners when we try something new. I love that sense of wonder," she said.

Cothren learned this technique of paper mache about 10 years ago when she was working as a middle school art and English teacher in Colorado. She works in abstract art,and likesto repurpose objects into a new use.

"I really believe in taking everyday items and making art out of them," she said.

Her art budget was basicpaper, scissors,glue and paint. '%e didn't have a budget to do anything fancy," she said."I got creative and my students really

This workshop, she warns, is a messy one — aprons are highly recommended.

"Bring an apron and your fun selves, "she said."The bestpartis the gooshiness of this mixture — I could play with it everyday."

All ofher art workshops have an element of getting messy.

"I want to encourage your 4-year-old inner child to come out and play," she said."There's something so liberating about making your inner child happy."

Channel the freedom of children, in other words.

'The power of play — kids aren't thinking about what other people think about them. They just have a ball," she said.

The concept ofabstractartwill influence the class as well.

"I always approach things from an abstract angle," she said."Even though they are birds, they are birds of your imagination."

And creating art, she said, should be about the journey.

"I think we get too worried about the results as adults," she said."It's more about trusting the process— 90 percent ofthe tim e I go in with an idea and it comes out better than I imagined."

Five students at Eastern Oregon University are currently being featured in the Nightingale Gallery for the second senior exhibition of the year, "Figuratively Speaking."

Victoria Davis, Sheyenne Johnson, Donni Later and Madeline Royce, of La Grande, and Erica Hitzman, of Pendleton, will showcase some of their work through May 6.

According to Cory Peeke, who manages the Nightingale Gallery in Loso Hall, the show will include about 15 pieces. The exhibition is made up of capstone

work by graduating art students.

Later said she'd like to stay in the area after graduating.

"I was born and raised in Union," Later said."I'm really hoping to stay in the area. I am double majoring in art and media arts with an emphasis in digital design, and I want to use that to starta graphicdesign business here."

Later's work demonstrates the relationshipsbetween people.

Johnson is also studying psychology as well as art, so her work strongly demonstrates the psychological ideas of the self.

She plays with the idea of disconnect and connection with others and the world.

Johnson is "constantly looking for new ways to artistically express her daily struggles," the press release said.

Royce focuses on growth and decay of all living things, from flowers to people.

Similarly, Hitzman combines decay and beauty.

Very refreshing and definitely easy to drink."

Northeast Oregon eats WHERE I ATE:Orange Rhino, 1102Washington Ave., La Grande WHAT I ORDERED:Ham and cheese roll THE VERDICT:I can never truly find a balance between breakfast and newspaper deadlines at the office in the morning.

Thankfully, there's a place not too far fromThe Observer building that can give me a quick bite, as well as good, quality food.

I order the ham and cheese roll from Orange Rhino when I'm on the run and want something filling.

The roll itself is a behemoth of baked-in cheese and huge pieces of ham intertwined.

Orange Rhino also has a wide selection of pastries, cookies, coff ee and other drinks available through the afternoon on Fridays through Mondays.

For the amount of money, the convenience of grabbing something quick downtown and the quality of the food, the ham and cheese roll will satisfy any stomach tormented by a neglected breakfast.

Call 541-605-0700 for more information on the bakery, which opened in February.

Prince transcended what it meant to be an artist. He redefined what it was to create art. He WAS his music. Pure feeling translated to song.
