Bonnie Peacher, an acrylic painter from Boise, will be Peterson's Gallery featured artist in June.

Peacher's work is influenced by John Singer Sargent, Vincent Van Gogh, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Alice Neel. Her style is realistic, expressive and full of intense color and texture. Her works are inspired by travel, nature and music.

Bonnie,a magnum cum laude graduate of Boise State University, received a BFA in art with an emphasis in painting and art history. Her work has been shown in more than 100 exhibitions throughout the United States, including the 2008 and 2013 Florence "Celebrate Arts" exhibitions, winning multiple awards.

The College of Idaho includes her work in the "Idaho Women's Collection."

Bonnie's paintings are also in

Three glass artists will be featured at Crossroads Carnegie Art Center during June, beginning Friday. many private collections.

She is represented by Peterson's Gallery in Baker City and Art! Zone 208, Boise. Traffic Box, located on the northwest corner of Franklin and Cole in Boise, was createdby herlastyear forthe Boise CityArts & History Public Art Program. A visit to her website www.artbypeacher.com allows you to view more of her paintings.

Peacher is the president of Boise Open Studios Collective Organization, a founding member of the Treasure Valley Artists Association, a BAM docent and the curator of the Garden City Library"Art & Brushes" program.

The Bonnie Peacher show opening reception will be during the June 5 First Friday Art Walk beginning at 6 p.m. at Peterson's Gallery, 1925 Main St.

For June, Crossroads Carnegie Art Center welcomes glass artists KevinBoylan ofLa Grande,Tom Dimond of Cove and Andy Nichols ofThe Dalles in a show titled"A Gathering of Glass."

The opening reception starts at 5:30 p.m. Friday with an informal artist talk in the main gallery.

Kevin Boylan's work indirectly representspersonalinstances from his day to day life. Also included in this show is a series titled "Protecting the Illusion," examining the implied value of currency.

Tom Dimond's newest work is a seriesofvasesthatarereminiscent of the Art Nouveau style.

These forms are experimental with their surfaces being iridized ia processoffuming the glass before it is annealed) embellishing the patterns and colors of the glass work by the refraction and reflection oflight. This effect can be seen in nature — the colors of

ri a a butterfly's wings or the colors of a hummingbird's breast.

This spring while Tom was in the studio the cherry blossoms surrounding his studio were flowering. The influence of those blossoms can be seen in the colors and patterns in some of his pieces.

Andy Nichol's life-long fascination and love of fish — specifically salmon — has been the captivating theme that emerges from his hot glass technique. The life-like salmon that he displays today had humble beginnings in the smolt stage before swimming proudly in galleries around the world.

This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of Ace Nursery.

Refreshments will be provided by the Friends of Crossroads, and Nancy Ames will provide live music.

Short Term Gallery Short Term Gallery, 1829 Main St., will feature a show of Catherine Cooper's photography.

There will be a garden show featuring multiple artists in July.

Fortunately, this year, LHS graduation was a week before Hog Wild Days.

The train will have about eight pig wagons pulled by a motorized vehicle. The pig train will also be running before and after the parade.

Smokey the Bear and Sparky the Fire Dog will be present to greet people near Island City Elementary School during portions of HogWild Days.Their appearance will be sponsored by the La Grande Ranger District and the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.

Hog Wild Days concludes on Sunday when its flea market will be openfrom 8 a.m. through about 3 p.m., Weathermon said.

Weathermon is among many volunteers who help put on Hog Wild Days each year. Weathermon has assi sted for the last17 or 18 years. He said that helping put on the event is fulfilling because all of the money it raises goes back into the community.

"I am giving back to a community which has been very good to me," Weathermon said.

The annual Hog Wild Days parade begins at11 a.m. Saturday morning in Island City.

By Dick Mason Go! staff

The annual Hog Wild Days celebration in Island City started in 1979, the same year the first Susan B. Anthony dollar coin was minted.

The Susan B. Anthony dollar never caught on and last was minted in 1999, but Hog Wild Days continues to flourish. So popular is the event that it could hit the fi ve-figuremark thisweekend during its 37th annual edition. ''We will probably have between

5,000 and 10,000 people," said Al Weathermon, one of the event's directors.

Activities kick off Friday morning when Island City merchants will offer special discounts. Shoppers who work up an appetite will have an opportunity to quell their hungerpangs atthe end ofthe day at a roasted pork barbecue dinner from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Island City Elementary School gym. The dinner,provided by the Island City Lions Club, will featureroasted pork,macaroni salad, coleslaw, old-fashioned baked beans, garlic break, a dessert and a drink. The cost is $8.50 foradults and $5.50for children

younger than age 12.

The dinner, a major fundraiser for the Island City Lions Club, drew 260 people in 2014.

"This year we are hoping for 300," said Weathermon, a member of the Island City Lions Club.

The money the club raises from the barbecue is used to help pay forscholarships itprovides each year to local students and more.

Saturday morning, Hog Wild Days visitors will again have a chance to feast, this time at the La Grande Rural Fire Department station in Island City. There, the fire department will serve up breakfasts of pancakes, eggs and sausage from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m..

foodbooths,artsand craftsbooths and more. It is not too late to sign up to be a vendor. To sign up, call Weathermon at 541-963-3540.

Hog Wild Days kicks into high gear at 11 a.m. Saturday when its annual parade starts on Island Avenue.

The parade will first run east and then turn south on to McAlister Road and run to White Birch Lane.

There, it will turn west and run to West Fir Street. The parade will

The breakfast, which drew about 800 people a year ago, is one of the major annual fundraisers for the fire department. The money it raisesisused topurchase Christmas presents for families in need and more.

At 8 a.m. Saturday,the Hog Wild Days annual flea market opens. More than 100 vendors are expected. The vendors will operate

then turn north until reaching its stopping point at the Lighthouse Pentecostal Church, 10501 W. Fir St. The parade is expected to have between 40and 50 entries,said John Tolan, the parade chair.

Parade participants will include a new entry this year, the La Grande High School Band.

"That will be a plus," Tolan said.

The band often has not been abletoparticipatein theparade in recent years because it conflicts

The music begins at 2 p.m. Sunday.

Merriman started playing guitar in 1965 at age 13 in Pendleton. He started his first rock band, the Living Souls, at 14. Later he formed the Sonic Vibration and finally the Spring Rain, a band popular throughout Eastern Oregon in the late '60s. In 1969 Spring Rain released a single with the songs "My Kind" and"No More Flowers," but those songs written collectively by three of the band members flopped, and in 1971 the band broke up.

Merriman found he was drawn to songwriting, and from 1971to1981 he wrote eight songs while working his way through Blue Mountain Community College and the University of Oregon. After graduatingfrom the U of Oin 1981 with a degree in journalism, Merriman put all his energiesinto hiscareerasa newspaper reporter, including a stint at the Baker City Herald.

He returned to songwritingin 1998,and afterretiring from the newspaper business in 2011, he began concentrating on writing and performmg.
