"Disruption" tells the story of what it calls the greatest crisis m ankind has ever faced and the movement rising to fight it.

Featuring James Hansen, Naomi Oreskes, Van Jones, Bill McKibben, Chris Hayes, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Naomi Klein, Rajendra Pachauri, Justin Gillis, among others, "Disruption" makes plain the urgency of the present by laying bare the science behind the tipping points we are threatening to trigger, the failure ofourpoliticalprocessto prevent these catastrophes and the need for a popular movement to challenge these realities.

A photographic exhibit of the Fort Rock homestead era will open Friday at the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. "High Desert Dreams: The Lost Homesteads of the Fort Rock Basin" by Corvallis photographer Rich Bergeman will be on view from Sept. 19 to Nov. 30. A book of photographs based on the exhibit will be available for purchase at the center. Bergeman spent several weeks exploring the Fort Rock and Christmas Lake valleys while an artist in residence at Playa on Summer Lake in 2012. With the help of some longtime residents and old maps, he was ableto create a photographic journey back in time through his images of abandoned homesteads, disappeared town sites, geologic features and remnants of that mostly-forgotten chapter in Oregon history. The exhibit features more than 30 black-and-white photographs, maps and accompanying text that tell the story of the early 20th century land rush that brought hundreds of pioneers to the Fort Rock and Christmas Lake valleys
$8 adults ,$4.50 seniorsand free for children age 15 and younger. Federal passes are accepted. Call541-523-1843 for updates on programs and events. For more information about the trail center, visit oregontrail.blm.gov. r

By the 1930s, the towns had emptied, school houses were boarded up and abandoned cabins were li ttered thelandscape. Over the decades since then, nearly all evidence of that era has gradually disappeared. But not all. Bergeman's evocative photographs capture the often unappreciated beauty of the area, as well as the melancholy left behind by broken with Purchase dreams.

On Saturday, at the La Grande Farmers' Market, with rows of vendors, soaps, honeys and veggies stacked in little cairnes all around, standing in the historic Max Square pavilion, on the backdrop of the old red bricks, Larry Robb and Jerry Smith will lean in and sing classic country songs into their microphones, strumming their electric guitars, gettin' all classic country for the morning hours.

Robb and Smith both sing lead vocals and play lead guitar in The Larry Robb Band, a classicaUtraditional country band that performs in LaGrande and Baker City. Both have played locally for more than 10 years, their band representing the classic country they were raised with. "Even though I listened to a lot of classic rock," Robb said,"I always had that old country around. "I remember dorm rooms in college," he added, "listening to stuff like Albert King and Jimi Hendrix and the next minute listening to Johnny Cash and Bob Haggart. It was all mixed together." And both see this classic country as having largely defined

But there's no connection now in today's country." But according to Robb and Smith,La Grande and Baker City's atmosphere is not as supportive toclassiccountry bands as in the past. 'The guys I began playing with all told stories of the '50s and '60s," Robb said, "when they would play five or six nights a week. It's just not like that anymore." However, "If any of us did it for the money," he said, "we'd be complete idiots." "It's kind of neat," Smith added, "when we get people to come in who don't like country and like us. 'That's my favorite thing," he continued."Those times we play and there's that group who really locks on to what we're doing, somebody who grew up on this type of music, hasn't heard it in a long time, hasn't heard that song in a long time." "Something inside me thinks," Robb said, "if I don't play that song, it will die forever. Part of me feels that I can keep that song alive by putting it in our set list." "I'm not a traditionalist," Smith said, "but I do think this music should be preserved through this

"If I'm trying to play classic rock for a night," Robb said, "it always ends up sounding like country. I can't play anything without sounding country." Yet, both Robb and Smith are clear that their country is not the
style most people know as "country" today. "A lot of people cringe when you say'country,"' Smith said, "because everybody thinks what it has become. But we are nothing like a country band today." "The country we play is so steepedin tradition,"Robb said, "so directly linked to older roots like the Carter Family, Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb, you can easily draw lines of descendance.
