ThredUp is a second-hand storeonline and it'sm assivewith prices you'd expect to pay at stores like Goodwill, but with higher brand names.

When I lived in Eugene for college, there were a lot of thrift stores around. I loved it. I loved not paying full price. I am a fairlydecent seamstress,so I can alter the clothes if I need to.

The problem, usually, was that it was very hit or miss. It might be a fun challenge for some to dig through the racks, but I didn't

have the patience to sift through the articles of clothing week after week. This website makes it painless, and I don't mind going page to page while sitting comfortably on my couch.

ThredUp is laid out like any other retail website with different sections for women's clothing, maternity, kids, etc., and separates even further with pants, tops, accessories and shoes. It alsohas a diferent section for designer items — this is a bit out of my price range and I haven't even tried clicking on that option.

I think what I like most about the site, besides the initial 40 percent offyour first order and subsequent 10 percent discounts given

in texts sometimes, is the clean look of the site. It's easy to navigate, it's easy to find things, and it's easy to filter through the massive amounts of dothes to my sizes. The shipping costisn' ttoooutrageous andit'sfree after a certain amount of moneyand they ship quickly.

I've been able to find pants on the website — which has been a big issue recently since I'm not into the skinny pants look. Plus, I

paid less than $10 for them.

It may not seem like a big deal, but for someone who rarely has luck finding pants that I like.

It's an amazing discovery.

George Strait "Cold Beer

Conversation" (MCA Nashville) Part of the enduring appeal of George Strait is that the country superstar seems like a guy you'd liketohave a cold-beerconversation with — a man's man who isn't afraid to show his feelings, but also a rock-steady presence you can lean on as well as have a good time with.

After three and a half decades,the steadfast Texan shows no inclination to change his musical approach, and why should he?"Cold Beer Conversation" is another on-the-money m ix of sober and stirring ballads, midtempo numbers such as "It Was Love" and "Everything I See," and party-ready honky-tonkers, including "Goin' Goin' Gone" and "Cheaper Than a Shrink" (" ... you just pour

LA GRANDE — World news was making knees shake in 1986. The Soviet Union's Chernobyl power plant had suffered a major nuclear accident, and US. planes had attacked Libyan"terrorist centers."

In La Grande, however, life was a bit more peaceful. Life went on much as usual with one exception — Season's Fairegotstarted.

La Grande artist Jan Clark has been a part of the Season's Faire show since that modest beginning.

"It was a local art show and a money maker for a good cause," she said.

Run by the La Grande Arts Commission, the 29th annual show is now up at Art Center East, 1006 Penn Ave. The show will be up through Nov. 14 and includes the work of more than 30 artists displaying batik, blown glass, charcoal drawing, collage, jewelry, leatherwork, mixed media,

The artists display a piece and donate a piece. Clark's donation piece this year is the mixed media collage "The First Moon."

The show culminates in the Season's Faire fundraiser, which takesplace at6:30 p.m. Nov.7 and includes wine, beer, hors d'oeuvres and an auction.

The first year the show was held at Stang Manor, a grand home in the west hills of La Grande.

"A nice crowd turned out," Clark recalls."A lot of people wanted to tour Stang Manor. There was art up on the wall for sale and goodies, plus a silent auction, but not an auctioneer like they have today.

Each artis tshowed a piece ofart and gavea donation piece,just like today," she said.

The show later moved to Eastern Oregon University and just last year migrated into Art Center East.

"It was hugely successful last year," said Darcy Dolge, program director at Art Center East."People really liked the atmosphere here."

The show is the major fundraiser for Arts for All. Each April, that event attracts about 500 kids who get to dofreehands-on activities and getexcited about thearts.

Season's Faire also has other beneficiaries. aWe alsosponsor a scholarship for a high school graduate each year," said Minnie Tucker with the La Grande Parks and Recreation Department, who provides staff support to the La Grande Arts Commission. The event is also the onlyfunding for the La Grande Arts Commission, Tucker said.

Clark is happy to see Season's Faire succeeding.

"It's grown into a bigger place and more people," she said.

Her donation piece this year is something in her small world line.

"It's a little landscape with a

WBKR Retro Radio is back on the air — but you can't tune your radioto catch theperformances.

This is something you can only experience in person.

RetroRadio isa production of Eastern Oregon Regional Theatre.

Director Lynne Burroughs scours the Internet to find radio shows from the first half of the 1900sa time when radio was the main evening entertainment.

WBKR Retro Radio will be performed at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 3 p.m. Sunday.

Performances are also scheduled for Oct. 23-25. Shows are held at the Iron Gate Theater, located upstairs in Basche-Sage Place, 2101 Main St., Baker City.

The actors sitin chairsbefore the audience and act out the

scripts while behind them Burroughs provides the sound effects.

You could close your eyes, if you want, and pretend that you really are listening to a radio in the dark evening hours.

But this is a performance, and a chance to be a studio audience.

You can see the actor's expressions as they perform and see just what makes that thumping sound when someone supposedly falls on the floor.

(Burroughs yanks a dummy to the ground for that sound effect,

by the way.l While most of the scripts this round are funny, there is 'The Whistler" — a mystery drama thataired in the 1940s and '50s. eYou got under your covers on that one," says Jean Simpson, who is helping with Retro Radio.

But as creepy as The Whistler might be, the Burns and Allen sketch will have you chuckling right up to the end when Burns says "Say goodnight, Gracie."

"Goodnight Gracie!e she sings.

For the"air time" between skits, the Iron Gate Singers will perform advertising jingles for the show's sponsors, accompanied by Hannah Violette on the piano.

The cast includes LaVonne Yeoumans,Gerald Hopkins,John Goodyear, Bruce McMillan, Randy Stalder, Lisa Ensworth, Aaron H ull, Sarah Crump, Jennifer Button and Robert Coon.

EORT will present"A Christmas Carol" Nov. 20-22 and Nov. 27-29 at the Iron Gate Theater.

Tickets will be $12, or $10 for EORT members and children.

Tickets are $10, or $8 for EORT members, and on sale at Betty's Books and at the door.

Seating is limited, so advance tickets are recommended.

WBKR Retro Radio debuted in 2014 with sketches of Popeye, Abbott and Costello, Gracie Allen and George Burns, and The Shadow.

This year brings a whole new round of shows from the pastFibber McGee and Molly, Burns and Allen's'The Royal Wedding," Abbott and Costello, The Whistler, and Gunsmoke.

"People don't remember, but (Gunsmokel started on the radio," Burroughs said."It's an adventure finding the scripts."

Cooper finds Ellington to be a treasure trove.

"Duke inspires me by the sheer beauty, breadth and depth ofw hat he wrote," Cooper said."He left us a seemingly endless treasure trove. After reading Harvey Cohen's wonderful'Duke Ellington's America,' I am also inspired by his vision and advocacy for equality forpeople ofallcolors and persuasions. That is a message that rings true just as much today as during his lifetime."

Eastern Oregon University faculty member Matt Cooper has immersed himself in dozens, if not hundreds, of Duke Ellington piano solos.

Ellington in high school, listening torock and roll,jazz,and blues.

"His album 'Money Jungle' from 1962 with Charles Mingus and Max Roach blew my mind," Cooper said."He sounded so modern, and still does today."

Ellington's favorite composition was always the one he was writing, and although he played the hits to please the fans, he was never interested in looking back, Cooper said.

"He was also a great piano player, leading the band from the piano inot unlike Beethoven or Mozart),

Some songs to be performed include "Mood Indigo,""Satin Doll," "Perdido,""Prelude to a Kiss," "Just Squeeze Me" and 'Take the ATrain."

"IfIhad oneword todescribe Duke, it would be 'imagination,"' said band leader Cooper."He began asapainter,soitseems ittingto describe hispaletteof f colors as harmonic, textural and visual.

He composed almost 2,000 catalogued works, led a big band and kept them on the payroll for 50 years ieven during the darkest days for big band music). He composed extended works and sacred music as well as three-minute hit songs, and championed the role of Alrican-Americans in the arts as well as pioneering the role of the 'senior citizen' popular musician."

The EOU music professor even wrote a book on Ellington. Titled "Duke Ellington as Pianist: A Study in Styles," the book was published by College Music Society in 2013 and is available at the Art Center East iat the old library).

Writing the book had its rewards.

When given achoice, choose to be kind t

read a lot ofbooks, and every so oftenIcome acrossonethat truly talks to my soul.

A friend recommended 'Wonder" by R.J. Palacio a few months ago,and on arecenttrip to the library there it was on displaylike I was meant to read it. ilt is, by the way, in the children's section.'Wonder" was writtenforthe agerange of8-12.1 I checked it out, and that night started reading it with my daughter.

I was immediately hooked and hoarded it for the next three days. ''Wonder" is the story of August Pullman, a boy born with a genetic conditionthat caused severefacial deformities.

When we first meet him, he tells us that he just wants to be ordinary — a 10-year-old boy who doesn't cause peopleto stareor shriek in surprise.

He's been homeschooled, and in the first few chapters we learn he is about to startfikh grade at Beecher Prep.

He really doesn't want to go, and who can blame him? Who wants to be stared atallthe time, and whispered about behind

makes the other characters tick.

For example, August's best friend Jack makes a big mistake that nearly wrecks the friendship.

We witness this scene through August's eyes first, and later we hear it from Jack's point of view. ''Wonder" does not paint a rosy picture — August is the brunt of jokes and nasty names, and his classmatesare afraid to touch him. Although he has dealt with these reactions his entire life, it never gets easier.

But just when it's heading down the path to depressing, when LISA BRITTON August is sitting all alone at a Ibritton@bakercityherald.com lunch table, a girl named Summer @goNEoregon sits down.

This is the first true act of kindcupped hands? ness shown to August at Beecher But he does go, and that is when Prep, but it's certainly not the last.

Through the pages we follow the story turns magical.

Not in a Harry Potter sort of August's year of school and we magic, but the type of magic where watch how his presence begins to we witness the beauty of the huchange others — his classmates learn the true meaning of the man soul.

The novel is told from several phrase "don't judge a book by its perspectives — August, his sister, cover," and when they get to know hisbestfriends,and hissister's August they discover a boy who boyfriend and best friend. is funny, smart and a really good friend.

ward is perfect, and it has brought up many valuable conversations with my daughter. It's never too early to talk about kindness and how we should treat our fellow human beings.

Throughout the novel, August's English teacher introduces a new precept or quote each month to inspire his students.

September's precept was my favorite, and the one I think captures the very essence of'Wonder": ''When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind."

Corn maze offers different kind of fright Lack of water leaves Val's Veggies annual corn maze skinny BAKER CITY — The cornstalks rustle as you brush past, turning the corner just in time to see a flash of color.

While my approach to this corn maze is deliberate and thoughtful, the children in my group prefer running pell-mell along the pathways with no logic to the twists and turns.

Well, that's not entirely truethey run until they hit a dead-end, then re-trace their tracks.

And you can hear the giggles echoing among the cornstalksthe sound bouncing around so you're not sure which direction is north or south.

Val's Veggies' annual corn maze openedOct.4.Itisopen 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays, 7-9 p.m. Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays and Monday through Thursday by appointment only.

There's also a pumpkin patch to find the perfect squash. Price is by the pound.

The maze Val Tachenko said this year's maze was a challenge due to a smaller field of corn.

"Because we didn't have much water, the corn maze is skinny," she said.

To create it, her son Ryan heads into the corn and starts chopping stalks. Every so often he climbs up a ladder to see where he is and fig-

Good luck with that — we were just happy to find our way outand then our way back through again, because the kids can't get enough of the maze.

I don't have any hints or tricks to fi nding your way through — the only thing I figure is that you have to go against logic and your first instinct on which turn to take.

Or maybe you can take the advice of Macy, my 7-year-old guide through the maze: "Always follow the wind."

WHAT'

Mazes have been around for thousands of years, although they weren't always meant to baffle the one searching for an exit.

According to a Smithsonian story (www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/windinghistory-maze-180951998/), the first mazes were labyrinths with only a single winding path. Walking one was a spiritual journey and meant to be a serene experience.

The article goes on to explain how, during the Middle Ages, labyrinths began changing from the spiritual experience to a simple pastime, and royalty began building hedge mazes into the garden design.

"Mazes have retained their close relationship with gardens ever since," the article says."Today,most public mazes exist in the form of hedge mazes or corn mazes, the latter being a distinctly American invention. England, with its long tradition of gardening, has 125 mazes open to the public."

In the U.S., the largest mazes are of a temporary naturebuilt into fields of corn. If you look up images of corn mazes taken from the air, you see that some are even designed as elaborate works of art.

Oregon Public Broadcasting produced a story about the annual corn maze at Kruger Farm on Sauvie Island, and shows how a Portland graphic artist designs a new maze every year. Find the story at: www.opb.org/television'programs/ofg/segment/ corn-maze/.

Haines pair claims Cast Iron Chef title Ken and Jared Bain win cookoff held at the interpretive center

O~on eats WHERE I ATE:Veritable Quandary, 1220 SW First Ave., Portland WHAT I ORDERED:Sauteed prawns and grits THE VERDICT:Veritable Quandary isa quaint little restaurant witha great outdoor seating area. On this Sunday, we sat insidea lovely garden room with large windows looking outside.

Because I cannot escape my southern palette, I knew I had to have their special: sauteed prawns over old-school sour cream grits. I would liken this dish to an upscale version of southern-style shrimp and grits.

The prawns were cooked perfectly with an ancho chile sauce, which caters to my love of Mexican flavors.

What really made the dish great was the pickled green tomatoes. I'm not sure I've ever had pickled tomatoes before, but they were delicious and paired well with the chile sauce. The entree was topped with fresh radishes and cilantro.

This dish was just the right proportion to spend the rest of the morning cheering on marathoners and enjoying some of the remaining fair weather days in Portland.

— KellyDucote, Observer assistant managing editor

The fire is the first challenge.

Nextis the recipe — or rather, lack thereof This is the first-ever Cast Iron Chef Dutch oven cookoff, held Saturday at the National Historic Interpretive Center in Baker City.

The event paired the idea of the Iron Chef television show with the Dutch oven, which was a tool used for cooking along the Oregon Trail.

The six teams arrived not knowing what cooking challenge they faced — their ingredients remained a mystery until the contest started and each grabbed a basket of vegetables and a roast.

Once the flames took hold in the firepit and the briquettes were heating, the cheS assessed their ingredients.

Nearly all set to cubing meat and potatoes and dicing carrots, although some teams keep their roastintact.

A table of optional ingredients was stocked with bacon, eggs, sour cream, lard, flour, cornmeal, fennel, pancake syrup, molasses, and spices that would make any pantry look well-stocked.

And then came the surprise ingredient when each team chose a paper sack fiom a basket. The rule: they had to use all ofitin their dish.

One team drew Spam. A couple

pulled out chili peppers. One team chose coconut milk and another creamed corn.

Half the teams have cooked with a Dutch oven before, and the other halfhaven't ever tried it.

Steven DeMn, who owns Big

Chief BBQ in Baker City, didn't even look up any Dutch oven tips prior to the competition.

"I'm not going to lie," he said with a grin."Definitely out of my comfort zone."

For the Haines Dutch Bros. father-son team of Ken Bain and Jared Bain, they settled rightin to the rhythm of cooking over an open fire.

Ken said he owns 10-12 types of castiron cookware.

"I'macastiron fanatic,"he said.

He says people shouldn't be intimidated by this type of cooking.

Simply season the Dutch oven first with soap and hot water, then rub it with olive oil, turn it upside down and bakeitat350 degreesforan hour.

That's it. After you cook with it, just wipe out the food bits and recoat with oil.

Lisa Britton/GoI staff

The Fast and Furious team of Hannah Fast, Katrina Fast and Grace Mothershed turned their ingredients into a stew for the Cast lron Chef cookoff held Saturday at the Interpretive Center in Baker City.

He encourages everyone to try this type of outdoor cooking.

"Justdo it— it'seasy,"hesaid.

He was really hoping dessert was on the menu for the contest — he says dump cake is an easy and favorite Dutch oven recipe.

Instead he had meat and potatoes, which he and Jared turned into a beef stroganoffrimmed with garlic biscuits.

The Haines Dutch Bros. earned first place.

Second place went to the"Juniper" team ofOakley Deel and

EmilyEgan.They used more than 15 ingredients fium the optional table and paired their stew with a dessert-type fiy bread coated with syrup and molasses. Deel drew on his experience Dutch oven cooking with the Boy Scouts and an education at Cordon Bleu to create his

dish.

Deelproved thatyou don'thave to sacrifice fancy whenyou're cooking outside — he served his meat entree inside hollowed out peppers, and garnished the plate with m atchstic k carrotsand beets.
