On the cover Dance instructors Sam Bass with Esa Murrell dance the night away at Powder Dance Club in Baker — S.John Collins

Although I much prefer outdoor workouts, sometimes the weather just doesn't cooperate. Even though YakTrax help shoes grip on snow, lately the risk hasn't seemed worth it when a day's worth of snow turned city streets into slippery surfaces.

A fewyears ago I discovered a free app calledaWorkoutTrainer."

It's free and gives access to thousands of workouts varying in length — fiom a two-minute plank challenge to hour-long workouts thatkeep your heartpumping.

There's a filter option to narrow the workouts to those that fityour

needs — time, ifyou have weights or not, and whether you want casual, mo derate orintenseexercises. It also provides slideshows or videos so you can follow along with the moves.

A fiiend and I use it at least once a week, rotating through workouts that use weights or kettlebells, orstraightcardiothatkeepsus moving.

Workout Trainer has yoga workouts too, and running plans for those who like to add structure to their run.

Workout Trainer is available for Android or Apple products — this makes it very convenient because

ifyou have your phone, you have access to a workout.

We've found that the free version offers enough workouts for our needs. However, there are two more versions — Pro for $2.99 per month or Pro+ for $6.99 per month. These offer HD options, as well as 500 more workouts. The paid versions also have audio fiom real trainers — the free version has an automated voice that tells you what to do.

But for no cost, we don't mind the robotic voice — we listen to music, anyway.

Feldman brings illustrations to children This week's Go! interviews illustrator Steve Feldman Go!: Describe your art?

Feldman: I create commissioned illustrations for a wide variety ofcommercial uses as well as personal fine art pieces.

While there is quite a range involved, there are some qualities much of my work has in common.

Most have elements of realism in regard to line, form and shadow and frequentiy incorporate distortion. Humor, sometimes dark humor, sometimes lighthearted, is probably the most common characteristic of my work.

Go!: How'd you get started?

Feldman: From the earliest age I don't know if I ever seriously considered a path other than arts related.

Go!: Do you have any favorite

Prime rib completes Christmas dinner rom the first Christmas as a

F child to the current Christmas as agrandparent,traditionsare built and passed on. We look forward to the twinlde of the lights on the tree, the smiles of our families and laughter of the children.

One of the most enjoyed and talked about traditions is the food and the smells of our Christmas home. Hot mulled wine, Tom and Jerry's, fresh baked pies and breads, glazed ham or the traditional beef roast. For many, the roast selected for Christmas dinner is the everfamous prime rib.

Prime beefis known for its marbling. Traditionally roast with a generouscap offatand theribsstill attached, the succulent quality of this rib roast cooked medium rare surpasses all.

In our western style we like to serveahearty slab ofroastwithjus and pungent horseradish.

From its origin in merry old England, it was traditionally carved in thinner slices stacked together on the plate so the flavorful jus could mingle between the layers and accompanied by Yorkshire pudding, a popover style bread, baked in the roasting pan after the rib is removedtorestbeforeslicing.

ing fiom salt crusted to slow cooked, hotroasted or smoked. I will share one method for a leaner and very flavorful method.

Seasonthe bonelessribroastone to twodays beforeitisto becooked.

Starting with salt, sprinkle a generousportion overtheentiresurface of the meatinduding both ends. Itis veryimportant to start with the salt as itwill assistin the applying the garlic later. Secondly, apply ground black pepper in the same way.

Lastlyrub the entire surface with finely minced garlic, not less than '/4 cup for a full 13 pound roast. Cover and refi igerate.

Allow the roast to warm for one hour atroom temperature before placingin the oven. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees standard oven or 425 degrees convection oven. Arranging the roast on a meatrack in theroasting pan,placetheroastin oven for 30 minutes standard oven or 20 minutes convection oven. Do not open the oven. After the searing time, turn the oven to 275 degrees standard oven or 250 degrees convection oven for one hour for medium rare or until your meat thermometer reads slightly less donethan you would find perfect.

The beef will cook more as itrests while you make the jus and the Yorkshire pudding. Happy holidays.

WHERE I ATE:Earth and Vine, La Grande WHAT I ORDERED:Chicken taco salad THE VERDICT:I am only slightly ashamed at how frequently I have eaten at Earth and Vine (or taken it to go) since it opened a couple monthsago.The food isgood and reasonably priced, and it's a great place to stop for a glass of wine after work.

While I am particularly fond of the turkey panini (sriracha, anyone?), on this visit I went for their chicken taco salad.

This is a great, big salad full of fajita chicken and fresh romaine. It comes both with salsa and chipotle ranch. I used all the salsa and a bit of the ranch, too, which gave the salad a nice spicy kick.

Salads are not my favorite. In the words of Ron Swanson, I am not a rabbit. But this salad is filling and delicious, the add-ons giving it some nice flavors — creamy avocado, salty olives, plus some crunch with tortilla chips. It's also topped with tomatoes, black beans and cheddar-jack cheese.

If you haven't made it to Earth and Vine's new La Grande location, I definitely recommend it.

• MidValley offers shows to Wallowa County Taking the stage Put these upcoming productions from around Northeast Oregon on your calendar.

EASTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY What: 'KingLear' Where: McKenzie Theatre When: Feb.11- Feb.20 Info:The aging King Lear decides to divide his kingdom among his three daughters, allotting each a portion in proportion to her declaration of love.

The hypocritical Goneril and Regan make grand pronouncements and are rewarded; Cordelia, the youngest daughter, who truly loves Lear, refuses to make an insincere speech and is disinherited. The two older sisters mock Lear and renege on their promise to support him.

What: 'Onthe Verge' Where:SchwarzTheatre When:April 7- April 16 Info: In Eric Overmyer's chimerical new comedy, three Victorian lady explorers set out on an adventure that takes them to darkest Africa, highest Himalaya andTerra Incognita.

Blending Tom Stoppard's limber linguistics with the historic overview of a Thornton Wilder, Overmyer takes his audience on a mirthful safari spinning into time travel.

ELGIN OPERA HOUSE What: 'MyFair Lady' When: Feb. 19- March 12 Info: Based on Shaw's playand Pascal'sm ovie "Pygmalion," with book, music and lyrics by Lerner and Loewe, 'My Fair Lady' is triumphant.

Twenty years ago, Kate Loftus was inspired to begin a theater company that not only allowed the small community of Lostine the opportunity to act in their own live theater production, but also enabled this small town and its many inhabitants to become talentedactors and actresses, both young and old, student and teacher,alike.

"The MidValley Theatre Company is a nonprofit organization that has produced more than 30 shows in the past 20 years," Loftus said, president and founder of the company."Its members have put in over 80,000 hours of rehearsal time, and that is not counting time spent rehearsing lines at home. We create a synergy that is wonderful when we get the cast to work together.

Furthermore, we provide live family entertainment that is both educational and entertaining to the community. ''We want people to know that we are here year round," Loftus sald.

The next production will debut in February and will be an adaptationof"Our Town." Loftus has produced all but two of the 30 plays that the MidValley Theatre Company has put on.

"Here at the MidValley Theatre Company, everyone is a star," Loftus said.

One long step, two short steps; one long, two short.

One-two-three, four-five six.

"That's it. Easy," says Sam Bass, gliding across the floor as he demonstrates the waltz.

He has the women line up first and practice the steps, then the men. With a click of his remote, music fills the room and couples start dancing.

With only six steps to count, it should be easy. But with anything new, there's usually a learning curve— and a few feetstepped on when those steps get out of sync.

But practice makes most anything seem easier, and the Powder River Dance Club is here at the VFW Hallnearly everyThursday night.

"My skills have improved. And it's good exercise," said Jim Carnahan, president of the dance club.

The club formed several years ago by local residents interested in learning a variety of dance styles. They recruited Sam Bass to instruct.

"He did swing dance and waltz.

We'd see him at the VFW when Frank Carlson was singing," said Esa Murrell, club treasurer.'We wouldn't have this if not for Sam." They first met in the Odd Fellows Hall on Main Street, which is also home to the Elkhorn Swingers square dance club.

"It was prettyinformal, but word spread," Murrell said.

The club soon joined the National Fast Dance Association, which

a< l~i>i I Sound Advice:In search of a cheap subwoofer

By Don Lindich Q. Inyour column a few weeks ugo you mentioned the Insignia NSB-814soundbar as a bargain. It wus, Black Friday price wus$49! I cun now understandthe diukguein Outlander! BestBuy doesn't sell un Insigruasubwoofer to go with it. Do you have a suggestion for a cheap wired subwoofer?

— PaurYamshon, SanRamon, Calif.

A, You can use anypowered subwoofer with an RCAinput. You are on theright track asking for a cheap one, as adding a $200 subwoofer to a $49 soundbar does notmake sense.

I defimtelywould not spend more than $100 on a sub to go with it.

The Polk PSW10 10-inch powered subwoofer can be found for $95. Itis a verygood buy at the price. www. polkaudio.com

•

OontZAngle 3XLTVsound followup:A week ago I wrote about the OontZAngle 3XL Bluetooth speaker.

One of the things I described was the ability to pair two of them together and use one connected to the TV with the induded miniplug cable, and the other as aremote speaker placedanywhere up to 33feetaway.

The manufactuter tecommended using them this way, saying TVs with Bluetooth tend to workbest with paired Bluetooth products fiom the same manufacturer. This has often been myexperience as well.

I was recentlyvisitingfiiends and theyhad acommon problem Iam often asked about: Nate could hear the TV fine, buthis girlfiiend could not.

Ihappened to havetheAngle3XL speakers in mybag so I took them out to try the dual speaker mode.

Unfortunately the TVdid not have a headphone jack or Bluetooth. hmking for another solution, I checked his Dish satellite box, found a Bluetooth option and theAngle 3XL paired effortlessly.

To sayit worked great is an understatement. The audio synced

perfectly with the picture, and as we watched the Clemson-North Carolina game we discovered the speakerdoes astellarjob reproducing vocals and dialogue. Besides the very dear vocals, listening to an excellent small speaker fiom a few feet away is infinitely better than listening to weak speakers fiom across the room. The battery power lets you move it around with you, and speaker volume is controlled by two buttons on top. It couldn't be better.

The downside to pairing the Angle 3XL to your satellite or cable boxis you only get sound with the set-top box, not with your antenna or disc players.

You may also have problems with pairing or audio/video sync, dependingon your service provider and model of set-top box There is a money back guarantee ifit does not workin your specific situation, but for now I can confirm it works exttemely well with the Dish Hopper.

THE U I LANI

t

n December 1999, a small 25-year-old bulk shipping tanker called the"Erika" carrying 22-thousand tons fuel oil sank off the coast of Brittany, France.

The crew was rescued but the shipwreck released thousands of gallons of fuel oil into the ocean.

Within a short time — about a week — the fuel oil began to come ashore along French beaches.

In the subsequent controversy, officials sought to find accountability but discovering who actually owned the ship proved to be problematic. The ship was owned by ashell-company and manned by an Indian crew. The captain of the ship, placed in jail after the accident, didn't even know who really owned the ship. The captain admitted the condition of the ship was belowstandard asitdeveloped a leak early on in its journey.

The ship's management firm was from Italy and it worked for a registered owner in Malta, which was also held by two other companies registered in Monrovia, Liberia. Other companies seemed to be connected to the ship, firms in Panama, the Bahamas and England. In the end, French officials quit trying to discover who actually owned the ship and thus could be held accountable for the accident.

Eventually, an individual was linked to the ownership of the vessel, sortof,and lateritw as discoveredthe ship actually passedportinspections in fourdifferent nations. The truth, though, showed the ship was in hopelessly bad condition and failed a U.S.

Coast Guard inspection.

This one storyfiagmentinWilliam Langewiesche's book'The Outlaw Sea: Aworld of Freedom, Chaos and Crime,"is hardly the spine of histalebutitunderscoresthebasic theme of the story. The 2004book, though small, is an eye-openingread for those ofus who live far fiom the oceansand barelyconsiderthevast expanse of sea that links the globe.

The book essentially shows the oceansoftheworld arefree,busy and wrapped in chaos spurred by man and nature. The book delves into the vast, mainly unregulated, world oflarge-scale shipping and the rewards and risks of those who work within it. While we deep inside mainland counties may not consider it, a huge share ofjust about everyUmg we use in everyday life comes by sea. There are more than 30,000 big merchant ships plying the seas and a huge number of those ships exist inside a cloud of confusion as to whom owns them.

Ships are"flagged"in one country but may never even see that nation the entire time itis on the ocean.

Some ships, Langewiesche notes, are flagged in places like Mongolian desert. Many ships are owned by shell companies that are, in turn, owned byotherfi rm s.Thewhole scheme, it appears fiom the book,

is to, in the end, limit accountability and boost profit.

These ships ate manned bymassive numbers ofpoor fiom underprivileged nations who live for months on merchantvessels andratelyvisit the shore. Yet, as Langewiesche writes, thesevesselareprobablythem ost ''fieen— inthesenseofnoregulation or accountability — on the globe.

Langewiesche uses a number of examples to make his point and his prose is understated, his conclusions hard to argue with.

The seas, in a sense, are a huge, unregulated area that continues to shy away from the rule oflaw.

Anarchy and a race away from regulations coupled with danger on an unprecedented scale highlight a few of the themes in this book. For anyone who has never considered the seas in any form

— otherthan a placeto gotofora beach vacation — Langewiesche's book is like reading about another planet. The oceans have become an unruly place and, in an age when terrorism is a real threat, open totaken advantage ofby peoplewho are notfriends offree governments.

The book, at about 240 pages, is a quick, good read. If you are contemplating a short read about a subject you are unfamiliar with that, at the same time, bears on what you may purchase at the local store, this is a good choice.

Its astonishing conclusions and stories will give any reader pause.

The book isn't boring and it opens up a world into which few of us have any connection to, though the seas remain on of the critical elements to the global economy.
