There are awkward and weird parts in four of the movies that make me wonder how they made the cut, but get past those few minutes, and the beloved underdog story is threaded throughoutand guaranteed toinspire. — Ronald Bond, Observer sports reporter
laMont/Paulduo This week, Go! interviews Terry LaMont of the Terry LaMont/ Monica Paul duo. Go!: When did you two get together to startperforming music? LaMont: It was about a year ago. Mike Mallory (of La Grande Stereo & Music) suggested I call her, and he suggested Monica call me, telling her she needs to find a guitar player. Then it all came together. Go!: What kind ofmusic doyou
play?
Caurtesy phata
LaMont: I would call it Americana more than anything else. We play a little bit of country, a little bit ofblues, a little rock, a touch of jazz. Go!: Who plays what? LaMont: I'm playing some lead guitar, some Dobro and singing. Monica sings and plays rhythm acoustic guitar. I or Monica play allthe bassparts. Go!:Who areyour musical heroes? LaMont: I would say Jimi
Monica Paul, left, andTerry LaMont play what LaMont calls "Americana."The duo also plays country, blues, rock and jazz. Hendrix. I got a chance to see him in concert three times. They were life-changing moments every time. I also like Jerry Jeff Walker's singing style. His choice of material blows me away. The singer-songwriter Keb Mo is a great slide guitar player, and his ideas are closely aligned with mine as far as singing and songwriting goes.
Go!: What'sup next? LaMont: I play every Tuesday at the American Legion in La Grande from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monica and I are about onethird the way into making an album that we, with humorous intent, are calling"Trio/Duo." There's several places we play where people are always going, ''Where's Paul?"
Buddy Guy"Bom toPlay the
Guitar" (Silveltone/RCA) "I ain't slowin' down," Buddy Guy boasts oneWear You Out," a barn-burner he shares with ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons on"Born to Play the Guitar." The 79-year-old then spends the rest ofhis latest album proving just that. Wisely working again with producer, drummer and songwriter Tom Hambridge, the Louisianaborn singer and guitarist who went on to become a giant of Chicago-style electric blues delivers another exhilaratingly no-frills and hard-hitting set built on sturdy songs. For all the testaments to his unflagging energy and ambition, however — "I still got moretosay,"hedeclareson "Turn Me Wild" — Guy doesn't have just one gear. He's nimble enough to navigate the bright
pop-soul of"(Baby) You Got What It Takes" with 28-year-old Joss Stone. And "Flesh and Bone," with Van Morrison, is a moving, gospel-
tinged ballad. The album ends with the acoustic "Come Back Muddy," a tribute to Guy's mentor, Muddy Waters. In it, he says he's staying true to his pledgetoWaters tokeep theblues flame burning bright. Is he ever. — The Philadelphia Inquirer

n the long and terrible annals of
t warfare, the First World War is
unique. And uniquely awful. More people died in the Second World War. But more than half the victims in that conflict were civilians. By contrast, the majority of those killed in the 1914-18 warthe Great War, as it was usually called until Hitler invaded Poland in 1939 — were military men. About 10 million of them died, a figure that today, when applied to war or indeed to any other tragedy — whether natural or man made — sounds farcical. I find it a grisly business to compare death tolls as though they were only figures jotted on a ledger. But it seems to me that numbers, in their cold reality, sometimestellthetalem ore accurately, ifbrutally, than words. For perspective, about 6,800 Americans have died in Iraq and Afghanistan, over a period of almost 14 years. In a single day — July 1, 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme in France — the British Army lost 20,000 men. Yet it's not merely the length of the butcher's bill that distinguishes the Great War. It's the futility. Although the late American historian Leon Wolff, whose 1958 book"In Flanders Fields: The 1917 Campaign," describes in detail only one of the dozens of bloody battles during the war, probably would replace futility with a more
I I
accusatoryword. Stupidity. Wolff's thesis was hardly unique during that period between the Korean and Vietnam wars. He was among several prominent historians who reached quite different conclusions than writers from the previous generation, some ofwhom had fought in the trenches. In general terms these younger authors portray military leaders as stubborn and callous, as men who didn't understand the changes that the machine gun and modern artillery had wrought on the battlefield, and who seemed not to care that their insistence on applying 19th century tactics to
I II
20th century warfare guaranteed the horrendous death tolls, yet still were desti ned tofail. Wolfl; writing fiom that perspective, focuseson aspecifi cperiod, place, army and leader— the British Army under Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig during the Third Battle of Ypres, foughtin Belgium in the summer and autumn of1917. The battle, also known as Passchendaele for the name of a village that figures prominently in the story, is the Great War in a microcosm. H aig and hisgeneralsrepeatedly ordered hundreds of thousands of soldiersto stridetoward the Germans' strongest defenses on the Western Front, defenseless
against bullets and shrapnel and high explosive shells fired in quantitiesnotequalled before orsince. More than 150,000 men died. But as Wolff writes, with a curious mixture of eloquence and palpable disgust,theeven greater tragedy, if such is possible given the slaughter, is that these attacks served no discernible military purpose except to Haig's sycophants. The German line wavered but never broke. "In Flanders Fields," in common with many Great War histories, is a depressing book. It is above all a story of waste, of profligacy with human life that can't be justified and is sickening to consider. t

So everyone in the valley helped each other with haying, branding and feeding cattle in the winter. As a thank you, Skinner and LaVaughn Kirby and Bob and Elsie Vandecar organized a feed and about 50 people showed up. Then next year brought 150. "Everybody heard how good it
was," Kirby says. The Durkee Grange took it over in 1945. Though crowds average about 600 these days, Kirby said one year they fed 1,200 people. The feed moved into Baker City severalyears ago topairwith an air show, and then with the Baker City Memory Cruise. Kirby said about 50 volunteers show up to help. "That's the Durkee community," he says."It's a lot of work, but it's a lot of fun."

Apps of the week Our favorite Android, iOS, and Windows phone apps of the week
Android BING Bing just upped its game in a major way. Much like what Google demoed during Google I/O this year, Bing has included contextual search within its app. So ifyou're on a Web page for instance, you can long press the home button, and the app will bring up contextual information you might want.(Free)
iOS FLOW Smartphone cameras are getting better and better, whichmeans theycan capture more frames-per-second with greater accuracy. That's where Flow will come in handy. The app is designed to stitch together your fast-mo and slow-mo (and also your normal-mo) video into one seamless clip. It also has other editing features so it's a onestop shop for making a perfect vid. (Free for now, then S3)
Windows Phone SLACK It's been a long time coming, but Slack is finally available for everyone on Windows Phone. It still holds its tag, but it now seems open for everyone, instead of being a closed beta. Slack is quickly becoming the go-to chat app for work and its missingpresence onWindows Phone was severely felt. This is a major win forWindows Phone.(Free) source: Gizmodo
the HiFi Pro Sport, which will sell for$19.99 online.There is also a two for $35 offer only at modernportable.com if you need more than one. There were some other features I liked, which make them seem like an even better value. They seem better made than the BlueAnt earphones, and are very easy to operate.
earthebass was detailed,natural and satisfyingly deep, with a clear midrange and crisp treble. To confirm my findings I did the same comparison with four otherpeoplefrom ages 22 to 44,a mix of male and female. Everyone pickedthe same model Idid as their favorite. When I told Modern Portable the winner iBT¹41 they confirmed it was their new model,

Lindsey says a great influence on her was her Grandma Iva Lindsey. Iva gave her opera voice lessons"foreightyearsasIw as growing up." Lindsey says she loves playing and singing music, especially indie rock. "I love Indie because it has such a wide variety, mellow and folksy. I also love old school R&B,n she said.

JOSEPH — Performing is not a new thing for 23-year-old McKenzie Lindsey. "I was 6 or 7 the first time I was on the church stage. It was nervewracking then," she recalls."Both my parents and my Grandmother Iva would put me up on the church stage to sing." Lindsey sings and plays guitar, covering a wide range of indie rock and original music in her performances, but she also plays the French horn and trumpet. Lindsey grew up in Wallowa with her family of music lovers. In fact, Lindsey literally went to sleep with music and songs

We sang together and it was great," Lindsey said. Lindsey's background includes lessons for two years with Carolyn Lochert singing jazz, performing in talent shows, choirs and church functions. It was when Lindsey moved to Walla Walla, Washington, three years ago that she startedperforming atopen mics in the area twice a week and she began to book gigs. She is a regularartistatseveralwineries' and other venues in the Walla Walla area.

Most marinades are a waste of your time By Russ Parsons Los Angeles Times
Northeast Oregon eats WHERE I ATE:Main Street Grill, 206 E. First St.,Wallowa WHAT I ORDERED:Western Burger THE VERDICT:It was a long day of driving for assignments in Wallowa County. The air was thick with smoke with the surrounding fires and Alyssa, a fellow news reporter, and I had a full list of events to cover. It did not go well. Murphy's law (if something can go wrong, it will) was fully in effect and by the time that she and I completed our assignments, we were famished. Wallowa was our last stop in the trip and the Main Street Grill beckoned. It's a small restaurant on the main drag of a small town and the setting reflects that. It's a nice restaurant with locals stopping by to watch the game. The food was inexpensive, comparatively speaking, but goodespecially after our thorough exploration of Wallowa County. I ordered the Western Burger, which had barbecue sauce and a large onion ring, with a pile of French fries. It was very tasty and more than I could eat in a single sitting. It was good food and if I ever hit Wallowa during lunchtime I'd probably stop by again. — CheriseKaechele, Observer reporter
Marinating meats for the grill seems to bring out the inner herbalist in even the most hardboiled of home cooks. A little olive oil, some lemon juice, a handful of herbs, some exotic spices — whatever smells right. It's almost like we're designing a scented bath oil rather than a seasoning for meat.

Surprisingly, simply generously seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper will work wonders for flavor. This is particularly true if you do this 30 to 45 minutes in advance. Try this sometime: Cook three steaks, one that has been salted and peppered in advance, one that has been seasoned just before grilling and a third that is seasoned only afterward. The difference is astonishing. Steak seasonedatthe end tasteslike meat with salt. Steak seasoned just before grilling is a bit better. But steak seasoned early has a deep,complex flavor and a much richer brown crust. Ifyou do want to get more complex with marinades, rememberthatit'sgoingtotake some big flavors to stand up to the taste of seared meat — use garlic, shallots and other members of the onion familyand dried peppers and other spices.
