Let me preface this review — "Blood Meridian" is not for everyone. If you're familiar with Cormac McCarthy's work, you know he delves into the worst behavior of the human race. If you've tried to read him in the past and couldn't do it, then this book honestly isn't the novel for you.

But for fans of him, I think you'll love it. No, it's not a new book. It was published in 1985, but I just got around to it. And no, it's not that I'm some macho guy who shrugs at violence (I am actually terrified ofblood).

Ido,however,preferrealistic tales that aren't all about walking hand-in-hand off into the

alley.

Without giving away too much, the tale centers around "The Kid," a teenage youth from Tennessee who leaves home and eventually joins in with a marauding gang on the TexasMexico border in the 1850s. The group is commissioned

by the Mexican govern-

ment as a twisted mercenary bandto "cope" with

Native Americans raiding Mexican villages.

But that's just the tip of iceberg. The pages are filled with visceral descriptions ofevents based on historical happenings, and the coping is in parentheses because the violence knows no bounds. It's heartbreaking, funny, somber, disgusting,sometimes all in one chapter.

The Tailgate Trio This week Go! interviews Sharon Porter of The Tailgate Trio Go: Horv did you get started?

Earliest inspiration?

Porter: It was a dark and stormy night (morning, really) ... when The Tailgate Trio was forged in a freezing, windy tailgate party for the last home game at Eastern Oregon University in the fall of 2014. Everything was soaked — players and instruments. That day, the Trio's friendshipand stalwart persistence to finish the gig was the catalyst to a unique musical beginning.

per also on a new instrument, the accordion. Mike Snider brought along a banjo. The sound clicked as an interesting combination.

We play three much-maligned instruments in the same bandan accordion, dulcimer and the

banjo.

Go: What kind ofmusic doyou

play?

Porter: The band builds its repertoire partly around the accordion, an instrument which Matt has only played for two years. The accordion opened the door to music from the Parisian bistro, as well as Cajun zydeco, Irish, Americana, blues, Russian and East European folk music and some pop as well.

Miguel 'Wildheart' (RCA) Proud to be iconoclastic, Miguel Jontel Pimentel explains himself on'What's NormalAnyway?", the seventh track on'Wildheart,u the Los Angeles polymorphous and musically adventurous love man's third album. He describes himself as"tooproper fortheblack kids,too black for the Mexicans, too square to bea hood."M iguel,whomoved past the straight-ahead R&B ofhis 2010 debut album,"All I Want Is You," to open up to rock and other influences on 2012's"Kaleidoscope Dream,"is as good an example of the benefits ofrefusing musical limitations as anyone on the pop charts. The Prince-influenced, often dirty-minded'Wildheart"is an ode to the sleaze and beauty of Los Angeles and takes a NSFW detour totheporn huboftheSan Fernando Valley. But it also works as a search for identity and an exploration of sociocultural in-between-ness."I neverfeelIbelong,"the30-year-old genre-blender sings."I wanna feel I belong."This album does not peak as high as'Kaleidoscope Dream," and neither the featured cameo

by Dogg Pound rapper Kurupt on ''NWAu nor that of Lenny Kravitz on "Face the Sun" bring added value.

Still, the place Miguel belongs is in the company of the most compelling pop personalities working today.

Shakespeare in the Park comes to La Grande LA GRANDE — Even a dog gets into the act when Shakespeare in the Park comes to La Grande.

Performances of the fun, rollicking Shakespeare comedy'Two Gentlemen of Verona" started last weekend at Riverside Park. The free show continues this weekend at 7p.m. Friday and Saturday.

"It's an accessible play and a lot of fun," said Grant Turner, director of the La Grande Shakespeare Co. putting on the show."For anyone daunted by Shakespeare, this is a greatstarteropportunity forthem."

People are invited to bring a blanket and a picnic basket and enjoy 90 minutes of fun entertainment.

The cast of the show, ostensibly aboutthe two titlecharacters' journey from Verona to Milan, includes Israel Bloodgood as Proteus, Cody Wyld Flower as Val-

The play includes a lot of the ingredients of Shakespeare's better-known plays. These include a woman disguised as a boy, both a witty and a dim-witted servant and apairofstar-crossed lovers.

Turner said'Two Gentlemen of Verona" appealedtohim because it's an early play by a young playwright about a bunch ofyoung people. ''We are a new theater company with a bunch of young people," Turner said."It seemed like a nice match between Shakespeare's work and reality. It's also very funny, very witty. I have an intelligentgroup ofactors.Thesesort of verbal word-play exchanges are greatforthem. There'sa greatsort ofbubbly innocence that circulates throughout the play that matches well with our company makeup."

The idea for Shakespeare in the Park was to keep the new La Grande Shakespeare Co. in the public eye. The company's first production was "All's Well that Ends Well," which was staged in the Stage Door Theatre in April.

'There is a Shakespeare in the Park tradition in many cities throughout the U.S.,"Turner said.

The stage will be setup near the Grande Ronde River. Those attending shouldjustlook for actors in Elizabethan costumes. The costumes are designed by Denise Wheeler.

The La Grande Shakespeare Co. has continuing plans to stay in the public eye. The company will stage"King Lear" in collaboration with Eastern Oregon University Feb. 11-13 and 18-20 in McKenzie Theatre.

"And if I can get the resources together, we'd like to do a show in October or November," Turner said.

Ricks' book takes readers behind the scenes ne of the great strengths of

O Thomas E. Ricks"The Gam-

ble: General David Petraeus and the American Military Adventure in Iraq, 2006-2008" is the amount ofbehind-the-scenes information about a pivotal time period in American military history and in the war in Iraq.

On its surface,"The Gamble" is a book about how a change in strategy in Iraq turned the conflict around in terms of success. But there is far more to this story than just another military-jargon-laden taleofthefeatofarm s.

The book pivots around the central theme ofaThe Surge," the infusion of reinforcements into Iraq at a time when the conflict was going against the U.S. While, at the time, critics labeled the war to be going against the United States, it was

PATCAEDWEEE

probably more of a stalemate than the embers ofdefeat.

Yet that fact doesn't and shouldn't disregard the sense among many that the war was spinning out of control as car bombs and Iraq civilian deaths climbed. Even with a large American troop presence, it appeared that violence — including ethnic cleansing — was the main calling card inside Iraq and especially in

Baghdad.

'The Gamble" provides a sensible, even nuanced, outline of the many problems the American military faced in Iraq up to the surge offorcesin 2007 and alsopoints out that the eventual strategy attached to the infusion of reinforcements — counter-insurgencywas not a popular decision within the ranks of the U.S. Army.

Others were also criticalofthe need to add reinforcements to a war that appeared to belost.

The best parts of the book — and overall it is a fine readillustrate the behind-the-scenes maneuvering that went on between former and current officials to find a method for a solution to the Iraq war.

For example, one of the people who pushed hard for a change of strategy wasn't even in the

military. Instead, retired four star Gen. John M."Jack" Keane used his mighty influence to push the Bush Administration — and to some extent, the U.S. Army — into a strategic revision. While he was not alone — others also sought to ind a"new way forward"in Iraq f — he was going against popular opinion in the military. The prevailing opinion then was to spare American ground troops and give as much of the task over to the reformed Iraqi military as quickly as possi ble.Itwas seen asa way to wrapping up the Iraqi experiment for the U.S., but it was a strategy that was bankrupt. For one, the Iraqi military wasn't ready to take over the heavy lifting, and while Americanforcesstood insidetheir forwardoperating basesIraq burned.

'The Gamble" is the kind ofbook that will most likely be used as a key source in the future for further study on this particular piece of our history. First published in 2009 — when the war was still ongoing — it furnishes the reader with a first glimpse ofhistory and is a fine example of journalism.

The book also reveals a number of other key attributes to the conflict — including the fact that success was not so much about achieving lofty goals set years earlier but about adjusting those aims to fit a new political and military paradigm — and furnishes the reader with a solid understanding of just how big a risk"The Surge" was.

The book, at 300-plus pages, isn't a lengthy or boring historical dissertation about a conflict many Americans would soon forget but an in-depth, concise report on an important piece of our recent past. If as an American you want to understandhow the modern American military works behind the scenes, this is a good

O . Tribes converge on pow wow grounds Longhouse history The longhouse is the center for religious and "first food" ceremonies, said Joe McCormack. "In terms of how "first foods" are served, the tradition is they are each celebrated as they ripen or are harvested in the watershed.

Tribal bands throughout the inland Northwest and along the Columbia River traditionally all had longhouses, McCormack said. The had communal living areas, and it was where celebrations of tradition were handed down.

In the longhouse, young tribal members learned to make tools out of stone, wood and horns as well as baskets and water containers out of animal stomachs. Often, these community centers were built in river bottoms, McCormack said.

Today the longhouse is more a church, he said, honoring first foods in the watershed and thanking the Creator for providing sustenance.

One of the first things celebrated in the spring, McCormack said, are root feasts.

"The women would open the fields to root digging."

Whereas the elder women determine the time to harvest, the elder men determine when it is time to fish and hunt, McCormack said.

"No one fished until the first salmon arrived and was celebrated. These all stem from traditions of the longhouse handed down."

He described the longhouse as looking like a long tipi.

Tamkaliks Pow wow features dance, music, food and ceremony WALLOWA — Twenty-five years after the first Wallowa Band Nez Perce Pow Wow and Friendship Feast was held at the Wallowa High School, the Nez Perce Homeland Project hosts its annual celebration of Native American culture at the Tamkaliks grounds outside of Wallowa this weekend.

Since 1998 when the Homeland Project acquired its own property, improvementshave been made to accommodate hundreds of dancers, vendors and guests to the weekend celebration of culture and tradition.

In 1999, the dance arbor was built by Bruce Coutant and Glen McDonald, said Board Chairman Joe McCormack. The arbor is the center of activity during Tamkaliks where dancing, naming and memorial services and the Sunday Friendship Feast are held.

Three years ago, an outdoor salmon barbecue was built near the arborand a state-of-the-art commercial kitchen was constructed with private donations. Now the Homeland Project is ready to break ground on the construction of a longhouse. An incredible fundraising effortraised substantialfunding fiom some of Oregon's biggest grant-making foundations. Local donations topped off the money needed and now McCormack said the board is waiting on final changes to the architectural design.

"This has been at least a 12year process," McCormack said.

He said ground should be broken for the longhouse by late summer and could be finished by the time winter arrives.

To further the celebration of women in the tribe, this year there will be special recognition for the Nez Perce descendants of

many languages which could be researched. I recommend"Pure Beef" by chef Lynn Curry. Once you have this basic information, secretstorecipesfor both beefand large game will start to unfold.

Local grass-fed cattle, living their leisure life of freedom, should produce tender meat. This, unfortunately, is not a dependable condusion. I am not a rancher and do not have the experience or expertise neededtoraisecattle,butasachef with a history ofraising, butchering and preparing beef, I would suggest some considerations in achieving greatmeat foryourplate.

First, breed.Selecta breed known for producing quality beef There are manynotable meatbzeeds regionally throughout the world. Your rancher can help you decide on a heifer or steer. Gender may matter.

Second, feed. What is important to you. Organic? Grain fed? Grass only? The feed and pasture practices you wish for your beef need to be decided before you proceed.

Third, age and weight. Yes, this

is the time to consider the age and weight. Why? You need to coordinate harvest with the desired size and optimal season. Maximize your investment by getting the most meatpossible,butharvest date may be more important than the sizeofyourbeast.

Fourth, harvest date. For quality 100 percent range-fed beef, harvest dates are key. Harvest in the fall, after the summer grasses, ripe with their seed and wild grain, havefattened cattle forthewinter and before the stressofwinterlife begins taking its toll.

Never harvest in the spring, when recovery from the long, lean winter has just begun and the green spring grasses are rebuilding the quality of your animal. If you desire the greater marbling ofgrain-fed beef,coordinate the grain supplements to maximize the fat gain in the fall.

WHERE I ATE:Vali's Alpine Restaurant, 59811 Wallowa Lake Highway, Joseph WHAT I ORDERED:Pork schnitzel, sweet and sour red cabbage and cheddar au gratin potatoes THE VERDICT:A fewyears ago I took my parents to a Mother's Day dinner atVali's Alpine Restaurant atWallowa Lake. I still remember itpork with polenta. Now we hate to miss any of their wine pairing or holiday meals.

Each summer we try and get to one of their Friday night meals, uniqueeachweekofthe season, and at least one of their signature Hungarian dishes served three nights a week.

Most recently we had a family dinner on a Sunday night with pork schnitzel, sweet and sour red cabbage and cheddar au gratin potatoes made with four cheesesincludingsmoked gouda. Since porkcan be paired with red or white wine, we chose an Oregon pinot noir and aWashington riesling from their ample list. Dionne and MichaelVali are accomplished pastry chefs and it's well worth ordering dessert, even if you have to share. They sell pastries on the weekends. Get there early; they often sell out before noon.
