By Jeff Petersen Go! magazine

The seventh annual La Grande Celtic Festival and Highland Games will take place Saturday and Sundayatthe Union County Fairgrounds.

And as a warm up, there's the Main Street Pub Tour Friday night. ''We grow every year and it gets bigger and bigger," said Nessa Buchanan Jones, president of the Celtic Society of Eastern Oregon, which puts on the event.

Gatesforthe celebration of Celtic heritage open Saturday from 8a.m.to9 p.m .and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Kilts are

welcome but not required.

Admission is $15 for one-day generaladmission and $20 for two-day general admission. For seniors, veterans and students with identification, admission is

$10 for one day and $15 for two days. Children 12 and younger are admitted for free when accompanied by a paying adult.

This year's festival entertainment includes returning favorites the Gothard Sisters and Tiller's Folly as well as the Boise Highlanders, Peter Daldry, the 15th Scottish Division, Killarney Irish Dance Co., Men of Worth and Castletown.

The event includes Highland Games, Children's Highland Games, a Kilted Kilometer race, a Bonnie Knees contest, a Ladies Welsh Skillet Toss and a Celtic Clan Village with lots of vendors, everything from custom glass engraving to Celtic pendants and charms.

Food and drinkvendorsinclude offeringsofScottish meat piesand

a tent include Clan MacLean and

Clan O'Cearbhaill.

"It's really good family entertainment and a great value for your money," Buchanan Jones said."Alotofthese bands playing put on one show for $45, and with us, you can see all four or five bands, all the Clan history, kids events, the Scottish Highland games and more."

New this year is a Scottish food vendor plus the Killarney Irish Dance Co. and the band Castletown. What's more, sheep dog demonstrations are back by popular demand.

The festival has contingency plans in case it gets hit by lightning and hail, as it did last year. ''We have plans to move inside and still have activities going on," Buchanan Jones said.

The Main Street Pub Tour will take place from 7 p.m. to

Seattle band Down North mixes underground rock and partyfueled soul Friday in La Grande.

The band will perform from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. at Bud Jackson's Sportsmans Bar & Grill, 2209 Adams Ave. Admission is $4 at the door.

The Seattle Stranger describes the funk and alternative band as "taut, coiled groove ofthebest funk, past and present."

The Seattle Times describes them as a"new favorite Seattle band. Just awesome."

Down North lifts up audiences that have been craving new soul sounds from the city that gave the world Wheedle's Groove and Jimi Hendrix.

Down North features the bold talents of vocalist Anthony Briscoe, who was raised on Michael Jackson and Sam Cooke.

Briscoe is described as stylish and emotional as Prince in his vocal expressions.

Versatile bassist Brandon Storms, meantime, writes much of Down North's music. Storms taps into his love for everything from Hendrix to James Jamerson in making tunes reviewers call infectious and substantial.

Drum Offt award-winning and crowd-amping Conrad Real and Arizona recruit Nick Quiller on guitar make the band an unusual and welcome addition to the regional music scene.

In addition, the band occasionally expands its lineup to integrate horns, percussionists and backup vocalists to help deliver their

grooves.

Briscoe and Storms met via Craigslist, both having searched forcollaboratorswho wanted to write good time, high quality tunes.

"I wanttohave a body ofwork.

But it has to be high quality material," Storms said.

Briscoe agrees.

"The people that play in this band are excellent at what they do, and we're all here to play music for people who have been craving fresh, warm, loving soul in the midst of a chilly indie scene," he said.

Down North has been played on morethan 150 collegeradio stations."Danger" was featured on MTVs "The Real World," and the band hasperformed athome and across the country, including at the Seattle Rock and Roll Marathon, Fremont Fair, Oktoberfest and the world-famous South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.

The "Danger" EP was recorded at Orbit Audio and is available for free on the band's website.

The studio performances only scrape the surface of what the band has to offer. As radio DJ Bob Rivers said, "If you get a chance to see them, do so."

According to the Bent, a weekly blog in"The Source,""From throbbing, syncopated base lines to funky flourishes and versatile vocals reminiscent of the King of Pop, Down North knows how to lay down the boogie."

Young love lives or dies with one decision in 'If I Stay'

By Roger Moore McClatchy-Tnbune News Service

Manipulative, contrived, melodramatic — all labels we slap on that most perfectly titled movie genre,"the weeper."All fit "If I Stay" like original packaging.

Teenage girls and the boys who want to date them need to discover the pleasures of a well-executed teen weeper for themselves, and this film fills the bill.

Chloe Grace Moretz takes on her first real star-vehicle romance in this adaptation of Gayle Forman's novel. Moretz is Mia, a Portland, Oregon, high school cello prodigy who, 12 minutes into the movie, is in a car crash. Her spirit awakens in the crimson snow to see her broken body hauled off in an ambulance.

As the able doctorsoperateon her, somebody says, "If she wants to live, she'd better start fighting."

That's what the movie is about, M ia's spirit,dashing barefoot through the halls of the hospital, checking on the rest ofher injured family and re-living, through flashbacks, the life she might be leaving behind.

We travel back to her meet-

ing Adam (Jamie Blackleyl, the hunky upperclassman alt rocker who is drawn to her good looks and her utter immersion in her instrument. Worlds collide as the Beethoven-loving cellist struggles to fit in with Portland's two-guitar bar-band scene.

In other episodes, we fall in with her still-hip parents. Dad (Joshua Leonard) used to be a punk drummer, and mom (Mireille Enosl was a groupie/riot grrrl. Then they had their second child (Jakob Daviesl and gave that up for straight jobs.

"Sometimes you make choices in life," is Mom's wise counsel,"and sometimes choices make you."

Adam is Mia's first kiss, gives her that first shot of whiskey and

MCT phato

is her "first" in that other all-important way. But she could get into Juilliard and that first love could be the one who got away.

Or she could never come out of this coma she's in, the one we see her in every time we return to the hospital, where Adam is almost the only one NOT allowed to see Mia. Director R.J. Cutler, a veteran TV producer/director ("Nashville"), keeps the camera in tight on Moretz, and the romance of this sinks or swims on her performance. Her cello playing is impressive (occasionally sped up toreach theproper tempo),her girl-in-love moments awkward, in a kind of studious way. Some-

times her body language doesn't match the tone ofher voice or the pitch of the scene. Even an actress as skilled as Moretz ("Let Me In,""Carrie") seems lost in the boyfriend/girlfriend walking and hugging moments. Where DOES one put one's other arm?

But even that can be explained away as "natural" for a kid only used to hugging a cello.

And whatever disconnects the movie throws at us, the overfamiliar clichesofscreen romance — pop music courtship montages — it eventually gets down to business, Mia's choice. Does she stay or does she let go?

Take away the teen drinking, profanity and (off camera) sex and

"If I Stay" is almost a faith-based film. Apparently, the only people who die more or less go by choice, in author Forman's fiction.

However, wonderful supporting players give the movie its third-act heart. Stacy Keach, playing the grandfather, hasa coupleofgreat scenes with Mia. Aisha Hinds is a compassionate nurse who whispersin the comatose teen'sear.

And Enos, of TV's 'The Killing," is that wise, sweet and hip mom who seems to exist only in the movies. Enos makes the most of several mother-daughter moments, and plays the "Date the musician, because we GET him" parental meddling scenes to the hilt.

In the end, what matters with any weeper is,"Does it earn tears?" Manipulated we may be, yanked through contrived melodrama thatpilesgriefupon grief.

But"If I Stay"will make youwish you'd brought a hanky. You know, for your date. Not that you'd ever fall for this.
