I own 11 thermometers.

Which, I'll readily concede, is a complement of instruments rather more numerous than is necessary tostay abreastofthe weather on my modest spread.

M icroclimates exist,tobe sure, but I doubt there are as many as 11 on my 9,000-square-foot city lot, which boasts neither a mountain range nor a canyon nor any oftheothersortsoftopography that influence the weather.

I have acquired this surfeit of gauges in much the same way that any slightly obsessed person doeswith whatever objectitis that interests him.

Which is to say I buy thermometersbut Ineverreplace them.

This accretion, unbalanced by erosion, has accelerated over thepastdecade as theselection of wireless weather stations has risen while their prices have plummeted.

The attraction of these stations, of course, is that, unlike analog thermometers, I don't have to step outside, where it is often damp and chilly, to find out whether the forecast cold front has arrived.

This utility makes the devices practically irresistible for me.

Besides the network of thermometers, my data-collection sys-

tem indudes multiple sensors that measure humidity, dewpoint, heat index (rather superfluous in this season) and barometric pressure, lest a storm catch me unawares.

M ost people, Iexpect,would be satisfied with a single weather station. Several companies, among them Oregon Scientific, Taylor and AcuRite, sell packages that are easy to set up, requiring little more than installing batteries and maybe driving a couple screws to mount the wind gauge.

The basic stations typically sell

for $150 or less.

Bill Emerson ar Sweet Dixie

"The Gospel Side of Bill

Emerson ar Sweet Dixie"

(Rural Rhythm) What can you say about Bill Emerson that hasn't been said?

Emerson, who will be 78in January, is one of the mostinfluential banj o players this side of Earl ~ .

His 60-year career in bluegrass began with Uncle Bob & the Blue Ridge Partners in 1955.

Two years later, Emersonjoined with the late Charlie Waller and others to create The Country Gentlemen, one of the top acts in bluegrass.

In 1959, he began moving around. First, the Stoneman Family. Then, Bill Harrell, Red Allen, Jimmy Marlin and Cliff Waldron's New Shades of Grass.

It was with Waldron in 1968 that Emerson's banjo turned Manfred Mann's folk-rock song"Fox on the Run" into a bluegrass classic.

He returned to the Gentlemen in 1969 for four years and then began a career in the Navy, leading its bluegrass band Country Current.

Since his retirement from the Navy, Emerson has led Sweet Dixie.

'The Gospel Side" is his fifth album for Rural Rhythm.

Nine of the tracks were taken from previous albums.

Another good album by a master musician.

GoNortheastoregon.com

Baker City has more than 100 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, and the annual Historic Homes Tours offers the chance to peekinside some of the town's oldest homes and churches.

The tour starts at noon Saturday at the Baker Heritage Museum, where participants will pick up the map of featured sites, which all date to amund the turn of the 20th century, said Jeff Nelson, program director for Historic Baker City Inc. The tour is self-guided, so the stops can be viewed in any order.

Although the tour runs until 5 p.m., the museum and Adler House Museum will be closing at 4p.m.

New to the tour this year is the W isdom House, located atthe corner of Broadway and Second streets.

Built in 1878, the Wisdom House is one of the oldest in town. It was built by John W. Wisdom, who ar-

rived in Baker Valleyin 1862 with the first wagon train. The house's style is a mixture of Gothic and Italianate, patterned after Wisdom's grandparents'home in Kentucky.

Veronica Johnson purchased the house in March 2015 and immediately began renovations. It opened this summer as a vacation rental, and has decorated the inside with local artwork and locally crafted furniture. Johnson is only the third person to own the home — she boughtitkom William and Frances Lovelace, who purchased the house kom the Wisdom familyin 1978.

Another stop on the tour is the Adler House Museum, which was the home of M Adler, Baker Cit's most famous philanthropist who left most ofhis fortune to benefit his hometown through community grants and college scholarships.

"Lastyear was the very first time WHAT' it was open ifor the tour)," Nelson sald.

Adler's family moved into a two-story Italianate house on Main Historic Homes Tours Street when he was four, and that's What: 30th annual Historic where he livedfortherestofhislife, Homes Tour until his death on Nov. 2, 1993.

O. Don and Lanetta Paul Musical

Scholarship The Don and Lanetta Paul Music Scholarship was established in 1999 and supports an upper level music major at Eastern Oregon University.

For the past16 years, Lanetta Paul has presented a recital at the United Methodist Church in La Grande to benefit the scholarship.

The Don and Lanetta Paul Music Scholarship Fund has anendowment ofmor e than $30,000 and awards an annual scholarship of $1,000 per year to a music major at EOU. It has been a tradition for the scholarship recipient to perform during the benefit conceit each year.

Shahayla Ononaiye is the recipient of the scholarship for the 2015-16 academic year.

Shahayla is an active member of EOU's music department. She has performed in various ensembles as a singer and pianist and has also participated in the EOU Drumline and Community Symphonic Band as a percussionist. She has also been very active in EOU's theater department, playing leading roles in both 'Les Miserables' and 'Jekyll Ltt Hyde.'

The presentation of 'Amahl and the Night Visitors'will mark the first time that the "Lanetta Paul Ltt Friends" conceithas moved toward a dramatic performance.

Lanetta was compelled to move in a new direction for a year and try something slightly different.

— Laura Hancock, EOU

C HERISE IULECHEI.E ckaecheleglagrandeobserver.com GoNortheastoregon.com

Lanetta Paul and Friends are putting the final touches on the one act play of'Amahl and the Night Visitors' to be performed this weekend.

Setinthefirstcentury,the opera tells the story of a boy named Amahl and his mother livingin poverty near the town of Bethlehem, according to apressrelease fiom Eastern Oregon University.

Amahl, who needs the help of acrutch to walk,used tobea shepherd but his mother has been forced to sell his sheep. Just when they believe there is no other optionbutto become beggars,three Magi arrive seeking a place to rest and their livesareforeverchanged.

Seventeen-year-old Avalon Bloodgood, who plays the 12-yearold Amahl, is a sophomore at Eastern Oregon University studying theater and music.

Bloodgood has been performing since she was 9 years old when she was in'Cinderella Junior.' Her siblings have also all performed in that play in some form, she said.

She said she thinks Peter Wardelman suggested to Paul to cast her in the play.

"I heard it through the grapevine," Bloodgood said."Lanetta was looking for actors to help with the opera. I'm small, and I can sing the parts."

The opera is a fundraising event with proceeds going toward the EOU scholarship. Ononaiye is the recipient of the scholarship this year.

Northeast Oregon eats WHERE I ATE:La Fiesta Mexican Restaurant, 1802 Adams Ave., La Grande WHAT I ORDERED:Express Burrito.

THE VERDICT:I almost always go for enchiladas when I go to a Mexican restaurant, but this being my first foray into La Fiesta, I decided to change it up. The Express Burrito is different from the others on the menu in that the rice and beans are inside (rather than just dished on the plate) with your choice of meat, which for me was ground beef. It's a simple burrito, with the rice, beans and meat inside, along with guacamole, sour cream, a red sauce and a couple vegetables on top. But while simple, it's filling, and at just $8.50, it's definitely among the better-priced Mexican restaurants I've been to.

On a side note, I've never been to a restaurant that served three options with the complementary chips: this place brought out a red salsa, beans, and a dip made of cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, seasoning salt and a fifth ingredient I'm blanking on. It was amazing: and that's coming from a person who hates cabbage.

— Ronald Bond, sports writer

Everythirg you love about the holidays is here at the Geiser Grand Hotel — the two-story tall Christmas Tree sparkles in the Palm Court and a Holiday High Tea when all ages can"play princess" with elegant white linen and silver service.

The food is inspired by the timeless Victorian tradition of tea. Iuw Teais just tea service with a simple biscuit or cookie. High Tea is really a generous three-course luncheon, which we do at the Geiser Grand.

The High Tea will feature freshbaked scones with lemon curd, finger sandwiches with gingered carrot, cranberry chicken and, of course, peanut butter and jelly for

High Tea came into fashion in the 1800s in England. Prior to that, people ate only two meals — breakfast and dinner. Tea — the drink as well assavory and sweetfoodhelped fill that void between meals.

Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, is credited for popularizing afternoon

tea in the 1830s (wwwfoodtimeline org/teatime.html).

It's so heartwarming to see the many generations gathered together at Tea. It's an excuse for young girls to

put on that special Christmas dress, tights and shiny shoes they've been just waiting for. Actually, girls of (aheml all ages can"play princess" and deck themselves out with hats, dressesand more to celebrate the season and time with loved ones.

Following tea, a costumed docent takes guests on a tour of the hotel, which was built in 1889. Guests will peek into the old tunnels, learn history about the Baker Valley and have the chance to take a lot of photographs.

High Tea is $24for adults and $12 for kids. The events will be offered at 2 p.m. Dec. 12 and Dec. 19.

And in her writing, Emerick makes this connection apparent. I made note of so many great lines — "islands with trees like crowded teeth in a stranger's mouth" "I realized that I could slip inside the skin of a place without tearingitopen" "Fingers of frost lay etched on the meadow, winter's breath on the landscape" "...I was not a body anymore, but only motion, like rivers, like wind, flowing through an unknown country" And this: "The whales are back in the bay....Their rounded backs are like biggray stones thatIcould step on,...

I can hear them breathe, a long sigh. I can see them breathe, a cold smoke" "The GeographyofWat er"isnot only a beautiful read, but also an intimate look at life in this region.

Her portrayal of Winnie and her coming of age will stay with me.

Every winter, snow transforms the landscape of Eastern Oregon, but maybe nowhere as much as the Sumpter Valley where rocky dredgepilesbecome smooth mounds of white and the trees are frosted with a layer of snow.

This weekend, the Sumpter Valley Railroad will transport passengers through this winter wonderland during the annual Christmas Train event. The historic steam-powered trains featureclosed cars thataretoasty thanks to wood-burning stove, and it's easy to imagine you've traveled back in time to the early 1900s when the SVRR traversed the hills and valleys of Eastern Oregon.

Although much of the originalrailroad tracks aregone, the members of Sumpter Valley Railroad Restoration Inc. have

The SumpterValley Railroad's annual Christmas trains run Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 12 and 13.

Guests will ride on a steam-powered train. rebuilt about seven miles of track between McEwen and Sumpter.

SCHEDULE The Christmas trains will be on a regular weekend schedule with round trips from McEwen Station at 10 a.m. and 1:15 p.m., and from Sumpter atnoon on both Saturday and Sunday. McEwen is 23 miles southwest of Baker City on Highway 7.

A holiday bazaar will be held both days at the Sumpter museum, and the train will stay long enough for passengers to disembark andvisitthe bazaar.Also, the Sumpter depot will have free cocoa,coffee,ciderand treats.

Saturday features an extra trip at 4:15 p.m. from McEwen, arriving at Sumpter in time for the twilight parade and Christmas tree lighting.

The daytime trains have quite a few seats available, but Saturday's late train has limited seating due to its popularity.

"The twilight train is filling rapidly— it'sbestto have reserva-

tions," said Leanne Woolf, vice president of SVRR. The parade is usually a good show, she said. aWe havea lotofpeople put lights on vehicles and ATVs," Woolf said."Lots and lots oflights."

The grand marshal starts off the parade and Santa comes in on the last float. The route is from the Cracker Creek Museum of Mining

to Granite and Mill streets, where the Christmas tree lights will be illuminated.

'Then we'll sing a couple carols and announce the winners of the outdoor Christmas light contest," Woolf said.

Reservations are recommended for all trains — especially Saturday's twilight train — by calling 541-894-2268.
