Here's what's on our radar this week:
The WeatherBug app Follow us online ONLINE gonortheastoregon.com TWITTER @gonortheastoregon PINTEREST @gonortheastoregon FACEBOOK @gonortheastoregon INSTAGRAM @gonortheastoregon
I don't need to know how many miles away the nearest lightning bolt struck in the past 15 minutes. But I absolutely want to know. I also want to know what the forecasthigh temperature isfor nextThursday. In Munich. Even though I probably won't be there. I also own nine thermometers, two anemometers and a rain
gauge, these instruments distributed around my 9,000-squarefoot property. Naturally I have the WeatherBug appon my Android smartphone. I am not app-obsessed. But I am weather-obsessed, and WeatherBug is the most detailed and user-friendly app of its kind that I've tried. In particular I like the realtime lightning function, which maps the location of the most recent strikes and tells you, to
the tenth of a mile, how far away they hit. WeatherBug automatically adjusts when you travel, so if you're in, say, Boise, Idaho, the app will show the Boise temperature and Doppler radar. But you can also manually choose any of the locations you save on the app. W eatherBugisavailablefor iPhones as well as Android. — Jayson Jacoby, Baker City Herald editor

Luke Bryan "Kill the Lights"
(Capitol Music Nashville) Luke Bryan, the country singer with the coolly emotive voice, showed last week on the Billboard charts just how popular he is. His new album, "Kill the Lights," debuted atop the chart, topping even the sound track to "Straight Outta Compton," the N.WA. biopic some are calling the film of the summer and maybe the year. Bryan is successful because he knows how to party, as in his hit "Crash My Party."And on"Kill the Lights," that festive atmosphere is certainly there, as in"Kick the Dust Up," with its rhythmic, line-dancing groove. But"Kill the Lights" also shows him doing something he hasn't done before: growing up. With Little Big Town vocalist Karen Fairchild as his partner, Bryan set tlesinto a life ofdevotion on'To the Moon and Back." With the love-her-right-or-lose-her theme of"Just Over," he shows he actually can handle subtext while communicating a genuine sense ofhurt. Bryan is used to playing the cocksure romancer, but he has never loved from behind the eight ball, as he does on "Strip It Down." — The Philadelphia Inquirer

'Little Shop of Horrors' debuts Friday
TRISHVERGES tyerges@lagrandeobserver.com
GoNortheastoregon.com
ELGIN — The Elgin Opera House intruduces "Little Shop of Horrors" a comedic, bee-boppin' science fiction musical showing this weekend, with performances at 7:30 p.m. each Friday and Saturday and at 2:30 p.m. each Saturday in September. This hilarious sci-fi parody involves a nerdy florist named Seymour Krelborn (Brian Moorel
who discovers a species of plant he callsuAudrey 2" after his coworker crush,Audrey, played by Jocelyn Berato. Seymour finds out that this plant is a loud-mouthed, RkBsinging carnivore (voice by Dick Royesl who promises him fame and fortune as long as he keeps feedingit. Playing the lead comic role as the crazy dentist, Orin Scrivello, is Blake Rasmussen of La Grande, a natural-born ham who admittedly loves to be the center of attention. He's definitely a"People's Choice" among comedic actors at the opera house. Rasmussen was introduced to the opera house stage in March 2010, when he played in"Footloose." However, his first comic role was as Gaston in"Beauty and the Beast," and later Lord FarrIuaad

in uShrek." Fourteen productions later, he's still loved by audiences for the way he makes them laugh. uI feel like I've been put on this earth to make people laugh — I gotta be honest," said Rasmus0 sen. I feel like I have one of those personalities that can make anybody laugh no matter what mood they're in. OK, I think I sing pretty good, I can act pretty good so I may as well go on stage." In"Little Shop of Horrors," Rasmussen gets his chance to be funny and psycho all wrapped up in Dr. Scrivello. "The dentist is so crazy, but he doesn't think he's funny," said Rasmussen."He's so straight. He sings two songs. One is about how he grew up a psycho. The second is a duet with Seymour."

BAKER CITY — Music fiom the era ofbig bands will float through Geiser Pollman Park Sunday as the first musicians — the Blue Yesterdays — take the stage of Baker City's new bandstand. The Powder River Pavilion will be dedicated at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, followed by music at 2 p.m. The pavilion is located in the middle of Geiser Pollman Park, which is along Campbell Street in Baker City. This project has been in the works for years, beginning in 2006 when a small committee came together with a vision of bringing a bandstand back to the park. That dream will be dedicated Sunday. Construction of the Powder
River Pavilion — a $250,000 project funded by donations and grants — began in the spring following a groundbreaking ceremony in April. For seven years, Sundays in the summer have featured live concerts in the park as part of the Powder

The project to plan and raise funds for a new bandstand in Baker City began in 2006. The Powder River Pavilion opens Sunday in Geiser Pollman Park. River Music Review, which was one way of raising money and awareness about the bandstand project. But this Sunday will have more music than usual. Following the Blue Yesterdays at around 4:30 p.m., many local musicians will take turns on the stage. Lynette Perry said these musicianswere invited to perform on the Pavilion's opening day in gratitude for donating their time and talent during the past years. Sunday's concert will be the season finale for the music review. A bandstand was part of Geiser Pollman Park for many years until it was demolished in 1972 during a project to widen Campbell Street. '%e referredtoitasbandshell because of the oval, rounded
design," said Phyllis Badgley, who helped found the original committee in 2006."The music wafted out over the wooden benches where the audience sat to listen." Members of the bandstand com-
mittee envision much more than concerts at the new pavilion — Dave Hunsaker says it can be used for recitals, plays, communitypresentations, reunions, weddings and more. 'This project, although long in coming to fruition, has resulted in our community having one of the most beautiful and functional performance venues in the Northwest," Hunsaker said.

'Two weeks or less after graduation, I was headed for the military," he said. After leaving the military, Witherrite attended Eastern Oregon University for 2-V2 years, taking as many upper division art classes as he could. When he and his young family moved back to Wallowa County, Witherrite began working with blacksmith Chuck Fraser at Fraser Iron Works. "Atfirst I was to work for Chuck for six months. After four years, we were still working together,"Witherrite said."Nothing would have happened without Fraser." Witherrite recalls driving by the Josephy Center a year ago and telling his wife,"In five years time I am going to have a show there." Witherrite is nowready to exhibit his art pieces at the Josephy Center. "It is a very personal venue and this is the first time I'm unveiling my work," he said. Still, Witherrite prefers not to be called an artist.'Mymom and grandma are arlists. Ijustlike workingharrf andmaking prettythings."

O. 'Every Kid in a Park'
beginsthis month Beginning this week, the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center in Baker City is participating in "Every Kid in a Park," a federal program in which anyAmerican fourth-grader can get a pass to get their family in free at parks, historic sites, monuments and recreational areas. The program leads up the 100th birthday of the National Park Service in 2016.According to www.whitehouse.gov, the Obama Administration created this program"to inspire the next generation to discover all thatAmerica's public lands and waters have to offer." The free pass is good for a full year and provides free access to national parks, national forests, national wildlife refuges and more. Encouraging visits to the outdoors is aimed at addressing the many hours most youth spend in front of screens — television, computers, cellphones and tablets. To further support the goal of getting youth to experience the outdoors, the President's 2016 Budget includes funds for youth engagement programs throughout the Department of the Interior, with $20 million specifically provided to the National Park Service for youth activities and youth coordinators. "Every Kid in a Park" is a partnership between the White House, National Park Service and National Park Foundation. For more information, visit www.nationalparks.org/ook/ ekiap-signup or call the interpretive center, 541-523-1843.

1996 Mt. Everest climbing accident ntil last spring — when m ore than 20 people died in an avalanche sparked by an earthquake — one of the most high-profile tragedies connected to climbing Mt. Everest was the 1996 disaster that killed eight climbers. That incident is the subject of Jon Krakauer's "Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster." Since he penned "Into Thin Air," Krakauer has added tohiscollection ofgood reads, including the recently published "Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town." Essentially, "Into Thin Air" is a personal account of the author's successful attempt to summit Mt. Everest and a subsequentfreak storm that produced a shovelful of tragedy that killed a number of climbers, including two very experienced guides. The two guides — Rob Hall, who managed Adventure Consultants, and Scott Fischer, who operated Mountain Madness — both died on Everest on May 11, 1996. Krakauer — who was with Hall's Adventure Consultants — made it to the top of the world's highest mountain that day and then made it back down to a base camp just in time to miss the freak storm that emerged. The book chronicles
U
PATCAEDWEEE newsClagrandeobserver.com
GoNortheastoregon.com
Krakauer's journey and presents the reader with a fairly straightforward view of the economic element to ascending the world's highest peak. And economics does play a big role. Individuals with a craving to climb Everest invest thousands of dollars into their dream, including large sums to outfitting firms like Hall's Adventure Consultants. Competition between these firms is, of course, intense. The goal for such companies is to get their clients — who have paid thousands — to the top and back down again. Climbing Mt. Everest isn't easy, obviously. Krakauer does an outstanding job outlining how difficult the task is. From lack of oxygen — supplemented pastcertain altitudes with oxygen bottles — to cold temperatures that are truly otherworldly, the sheer physical beating climbers take is eye-opening. The book gives readers a close-up view of the people who paid small fortunes to climb the mountain. It is evident that while mountain climbing skill is important, to actually get on a climb to the top
Jon Krokaoer Courtesy photo
of Everest is also about money. Or the ability to pay out large sums to guidecompanies toshepherd a climber to the top. One major key of the book is the fact that at high altitudes on Everest — the mountain is 29,028 feet — time is the difference between life and death. Loitering — either from exhaustion or to celebrate reaching the highest point on earth — for a minute too long is a death sentence.
M istakes atthataltitude are amplifi ed.Theday ofthetragedy, a lotofclim bers setoutforthe top and at one key point in the ascent, a bottleneck occurred that consumed valuable time and spelled disaster. While the book is a good read — and a relatively quick oneafter it was first published in the mid-1990s, it attracted criticism from some who felt Krakauer got certain facts of the tragedy wrong. One big point of contention was Krakauer's description of the actions of a Russian guide during the tragedy. While one may be able to pick apart every element of the tragedy and then find fault in Krakauer's descripti ons,itdoesn'tappear he set out to write a blow-by-blow accountofa historicalevent.Instead, "Into Thin Air" is a book about the high-risk venture of climbing the world's highest mountain and how mistakes, even by the most qualified people, can multiply and evolveinto a tragedy.Fora good, quick well-written book about a real-life adventure, "Into Thin Air" is a hard one to beat.

She's been painting since she was a child, and was a professional artist from the mid-1980s to mid-1990s. Then she decided she needed a stable job, and went back to school to be a dental hygienist. She did return to painting, although not as a full-time job. "I missed painting, but not the pressure of doing it for a living," she said.
