Star Wars

It's not often when you can't find a parking spot outside the Granada Theater and you're waiting in a long line to get a ticket for a movie showing. I can't remember the last time there was such a disturbance in the force.

Yes, the long awaited Star Wars episode, "The Force Awakens," is out and just like the holidays, the excitement and anticipation has swelled and subsided now that we know whose hand gets cut ofF ior not) and what's up with the ball

There might be some needed binge watching of the previous films to fully understand the technicalaspects ofthe characters — like the connection between Han Solo, Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker.

Besides this, if the viewer wants exciting galactic action, droids and lightsaber duels, the film achieves all that beautifully.

The film introduces new characters, a new struggle and sets up the future of the franchise as themost exciting piece of the StarWars tale as the rebel resistancecontinues to battle through the galaxy against Kylo Ren andThe FirstOrder. Many

details have yet to surface which makes older Star Wars diehardsbegging formore.

The movie has some violent images. It's rated PG-13 and many of the battle scenes are intense.

I suggest making sure the younger viewers are ready for those elements if you plan to bring the kids.

Rotten Tomatoes scores it a 95 percent, and with the initial weekend payofF ofthefilm at the box office reaching a $248 million, there's no reason not to get in on the action.

For young or old, Star Wars is the force that has awoken.

on a single published writer. This year's Big Read features novelist and playwright Thornton Wilder, "the only writer to have won Pulitzer Prizes for both fiction and drama," according to Fishtrap's website.

Wilder's 1927 novel'The Bridge of San Luis Rey" and his wellknown 1938 stage drama"Our Town" have enjoyed enormous success since the moment they first appeared, according to fishtrap. org. Neither has ever been out of print. Because they have been widelyread or performed abroad, this novel and play are not only American classics but classics of world literature.

"In past years, we have featured such accomplished writers and works as Amy Tan's 'Joy Luck Club'in 2012, the famous and now feature motion picture True Grit'

by Charles Porlis in 2014, and 'Into the Beautiful North' by Luis Alberlo Urrea in 2015," said Mike Mildo, Fishtrap program manager.

"HereatFishtrap,we strive to select a writer who exemplifies writing and the West so we can connect the community to writers that have given us works they can relate to."

As part of the Big Read, Fishtrap provides freecopiesofthefeatured writer's books to public libraries and schools throughout Wallowa County.

Held during January and February, the BigRead offersa series of author-related events such as presentations, film screenings and

La Grande's Weston Simonis looking forward to 2016 LA GRANDE — Weston Simonis has been on the local music scene for more than 20 years. A native of the Grande Ronde Valley, his mother was instrumental in their local church and was the choir director for many years.

"According to my mother, I started singing before I could talk," he said. "I was given my first guitar at the age of 10, then moved onto the drums at the age of 14."

Recognized as an accomplished musician both locally and regionally, Simonis is an emerging pop artist nationally and internationally thanks in part to social media and music networks such as Facebook, iTunes and Spotify. His single "Lynique" can be downloaded for free on Soundcloud.com, PureVolume.com, and Reverb Nation.

The new year promises to be an exciting one for the musician.

"My new single, 'Moments of Intoxication,' is being released

by Boombox.fm this January," Simonis said. "I had the rare opportunity to hear imy single 'Lynique' and the new single) filled with guitar riffs reminiscent of Metallica's Fade to Black album accompanied by sultry and sensual lyrics that will draw you in unlike anything on the music scene today."

Beyond the release ofhis new single, 2016 will bring other changes for Simonis.

"My website, westonsimonis. com, will be up soon and I will be collaborating with Eastern Oregon University's radio station KEOL to feature a local release of'Moments of Intoxication.' I am working on several projects

Simonis has been the frontman for several bands over the years, including Drive By, Hopeless Endeavor and The October Sky. As frontman for the band Metal Under the Influence, Simonis and his bandmates won the Battle of the Bands contest then went on to participate in the Warp Tour, playing at both Boise State University and Eastern Oregon University.

Recently The October Sky reunited and played such venues as the Idaho Center in Boise, Idaho, and the Tonic Lounge and The Hawthorne Theatre in Portland.

After high school, Simonis went on to study at Full Sail University in Florida, known for being one of the best multimedia institutes in the nation, he said. Working with music producer Michael Reeves, who has recorded artistslike Metallica, Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake, Simonis gained the skills needed to open his own recording studio here in La Grande.

O. Liberty Theatre sign

WHAT'

to li ghtup new yea The block party isn't the only thing to look forward to on New Year's Eve. The Liberty Theatre sign, which was installed in late November, will be lighting up for all to see, as well.

It's the first time in nearly half a century that the sign will beckon those along Adams Avenue.

The sign is a replica of the historic blade that once hung outside the theater.

The Liberty Theatre Foundation, the local nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring the theater to its former glory, had the goal of replacing the sign first to show those in the area that this project was underway and to look forward to big changes to come.

The sign lighting event will begin at 2 p.m. on Thursday at Joe Beans, across from the theater.

From 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. those involved with the theater foundation will share information about the restoration effort and the memories surrounding the historic theater.

Music, refreshments and displays of Liberty memorabilia will also be available.

At approximately 4:30 p.m. the sign will light up Adams Avenue.

One ofthe next major projects to be completed by the foundation is to replace the chandelier.

LA GRANDE — It's that time of year again — it's time to ringin the new year. And for the second time, La Grande is offering an event inviting the community to welcome the new year together.

The second annual Block Party is coming back to Adams Avenue in La Grande New Year's Eve. Last year was a success, except for one small issue.

"Assuming it's not going to be 1

degree at midnight ®ke last year), it was otherwise was a success in every other regard," said Ashley OToole, one oftheorganizersof the event. Actually, the Block Party was OToole's brainchild.

'This event is absolutely family friendlyn he said.'That's the genesis of the whole thing. The whole family can do this for New Year's.

You don't have to go to a bar. This is something you can all do together."

The event begins at approximately 9:30 p.mo he said. The radio station, 98.7 The Rock will be disc jockeying the whole night until midnight. They will be welcoming anyone who wants to share their New Year's resolutions to share it live on their show.

One big exception, OToole said, is instead ofhaving one food vendor at the event, two restaurants are opening their doors to customers through midnight.

Joe and Sugars and The Sub Shop will be an option for party goers to visit that night, along with Long Branch, Ten Depot and Benchwarmers.

Cherise Kaechele/Go~staff

The La Grande Fire Department helped put up the ball on the John Howard building for the NewYear's Eve Block Party in December.

The Union County Chamber of Commerce will once again be doing a small scavenger hunt beginning at 10 p.mo he said.

This is a quick trip the family can do to keep themselves moving

and stay warm, while also waiting for the countdown to begin, he sard.

Warming barrels and a warming tent will be available once again, along with free hot choco-

late, freeparty favors and more, O'Toole said.

"It's important to note that this is the only New Year's Block Party organized as an offtcial event — the only ball drop in Oregon," OToole said.'This is a great, unique attraction to bring peopleto La Grande.That goes back to the La Grande Main Street Downtown, who's hosting the event. They're inviting people to bring in their outside dollars — come in and enjoy themselves in La Grande and eat at the restaurants. It's certainly an economic development opportunity."

At last year'sevent,despite the coldtemperatures, people came to Adams Avenueand Depot Street 15 minutes before midnight to enjoythe lastpartof2014 and welcome 2015, OToole said.

This year, he's is hoping for warmer weather and thinks if it's at least 20 degrees then it will bringalotm ore peopleto the event. "iAs long as it's warmer) it'll make a huge difference," he said.

Loveland Funeral Home will be offering its New Year's Safe Ride Home program.

The program, which provides free New Year's rides home to people living in La Grande and Island City, takes anywhere from 300 to 500 people home on New Year's for free.

III l Eastern Oregon beer for the New Year Local br ew e r ies tack -

ling new challenges and driving industry

easy task for any brewery.

Eastern Oregon continues to show the world that we not only make good beer, but we also have strong interests in driving the regional industry forward while remaining focused on our local communities and markets.

With more taprooms and growler fill stations popping up every day, it can be a daunting task to try and select"the perfect beer," but Eastern Oregon breweries are up to the task.

Likewise, while the average Oregonian is usually inclined to reach for an India Pale Ale, thereare a lotofgreatoptions for folks who simply want to dial down the hops or are looking for a more balanced beer.

Twelve breweries contribute to Eastern Oregon's brewery scene, from John Day to Boardman to Enterprise.

We encompass a vast area, so if you find yourself in our neck of the woods, try any one of these noteworthy beers.

Three options from each brewery: IPA: the most popular style in Oregon, bringing high IBUs and lots of hops.

Middle of the Road: A mild selection, a saferbetfor the first time craft drinker Go out on a Limb: A bold move, rich in flavor and adventurous for any palate.

Northeast Oregon eats WHERE I ATE:The Lone Pine Cafe, 1825 Main St., Baker City WHAT I ORDERED:Broccoli Cheddar Cheese Soup THE VERDICT:There's nothing like a hot bowl of soup for lunch on a cold winter's day, and knowing that Lone Pine Cafe makes soup from scratch daily, I made a stop on my way back to the office at lunchtime to pick up an order of soup to-go.

The Broccoli Cheddar Soup special was rich and flavorful — flecks of broccoli processed into the soup to maintain a rich and creamy consistency with a subtle cheese flavor.

An order of soup comes with a side of their signature homemade German rye bread, grilled with butter until lightly crisp and brown and perfect for dipping.

A bowl of soup and bread was $6, a quick lunch that wasn't fast food and a warm and satisfying break in the work day.

Lone Pine Cafe is open seven days aweek from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Their phone number is 541-523-1805.

ith continued growth and more exposure than ever, 2015 proved to be an iconic year for the Oregon craft-brewing world. Eastern Oregon brewery contributions were no exception — churning out some great new beer and continuing to be an importantdriver ofthe state, regional, and national craftbeer movement from our humble corner of Oregon.

So what are some local breweries taking on?

Terminal Gravity Brewing, a pioneering Eastern Oregon brewery from Enterprise,released a Lager Series, which included Wallowa Lake Lager — a PreProhibition Pilsner and Landmark Lager — a Dortmunder Export Lager.

We also dabbled in the Imperial IPA world, creating Big Burn IPA. Coming out of Baker City, Barley Brown's cutting edge hoppy experiments continue to have Oregonians salivating, and their beer continues to perform well at national competitions.

One of the latest hop driven beers, Ratchet Strap IPA uses German Melonhops,proving that innovation is king at Barley Browns.

LA GRANDE — The Art Center East holds four different dance classes for anyone who wants to explore the creative, fun pastime of dancing.

Olivia Westenskow of Liv Fit LLC teaches exercise dance, including Zumba Gold class on Mondays and Wednesdays at 4:25 p.m. and the higher impact Zumba class on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4:45 p.m.

Zumba originated in Columbia, and it's a dance fitness class, said Program Director Darcy Dolge at Art Center East. Students are guided by the dance instructor using salsa, cumbia, bachata and other Latin and international rhythms through an aerobic, fun routine of dance.

The cost for 10 classesis$40;20 classesfor$70 and 30 classesfor

$90.Thereisa"drop-in"rate of$5

3,10,24,31, Feb. 7, 14,28 and March 13 and 20, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

"Thatclassisforage 13 and up, and essentially those classes are an intro to Cuban culture as well as that dance style," Dolge said.'You don't need a partner to participate, and you ease your way into the basic steps of authentic Cuban rhythms. It's one of those classes where the music takes over, and definitely one of those put-a-smile-on-your-face activities."

Trice has a deep knowledge of dance, having worked professionally with Cuban groups out of Seattle, so she brings the dance as well as the Cuban culture into this workshop.

Thisclass requires pre-registration, and students should wear comfortable clothing and shoes and bring a water bottle. The cost

perday is$35 form embers and $40 for non-members.

Another favorite class at ACE is the"English Country Dance, Workshop and Ball," which is the style of dance seen in the movie "Pride and Prejudice."

This style of dance involves couples who dance together in a figure or set.

"They are doing classes during the week, a workshop on Saturday, and a gala in an evening," Dolge said."On Wednesdays, classes will be held on Jan. 13, 20,27,Feb.3,allfrom 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The workshop is on Feb. 6 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., and the gala ball is Feb. 6 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The gala ball music will be a mix oflive music and recordings. A minimum of 12 people m ust be pre-registered for this class to be conducted."

For all the classes, workshop

ifyou just want to tryit out first.

"For someone who has done it and watches it every day, it's really a blast," Dolge said.'You don't even know you're exercising, but it really is incorporating that kind of dance style. Each song is choreographed differently by Olivia, and youjustjam out and have a good time. All the endorphins are going, and it's just a healthy experience."

ACE offers "Intro to Cuban and ball, the cost is $15 for ACE Salsa" taught by Gwen Trice from and Traditional Live members Enterprise and held Sundays, Jan. and $20 for non-members. To

pre-regist er,eithercallACE 541624-2800or callinstructors at Traditional Live at541-962-9355.

"This dance style is about 300 yearsold,"Dolge said,"and to bring it back into the modern time ispretty cool.It'sthetype of dance you would see performed in Shakespeare's day or Queen Victoria."

There will be a winter workshop called Argentine Tango taught by well-known Boise instructor Joe Jones.

The class is held on Sundays, Jan. 17, Feb. 21, and March 6, from noon to 3 p.m. The cost

oftheclassfor each day is$15 per personor $25 fora couple.If you attend three workshops, the discountedcostis$45 per person

or $65 for a couple.

"Beginners are welcome," Dolge said.

'Wear a heeled leather-soled shoe. You don't need a partner to participate, but it's all about ibeingl welcoming, communicating and create those shapes from the tango."

Every Tuesday from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. except holidays, January through March, ACE will host "Open Community Folk Dancing" instructed by Traditional Live.

"They do a variety of traditional styles, including Contra dancing, English Country, Balkan, International and a few other styles," said Dolge. "The first Tuesday of the month is mixed, the second Tuesday is Contra dancing, the third Tuesday is Balkan and then International. If therehappens tobe a fi fth Tuesday of the month, they will do somethingspecialforthatclass."

friend recommended I read "The Suicide of Claire Bishop"

by Carmiel Banasky and since I've likedallthebookshe'ssuggested, I picked this one up. Plus, she is planning to come to Baker City next spring for a book event, so I wanted to read the book and talk to herabout it.

Lately I've been reading more young adult fiction than anything else, so a book with the word "suicide" in the title wouldn't have been my first choice. However, I was ready to sink my teeth into a denserbook,so Istarted reading.

Right away I knew this novel was diferent. The author does

sh'© ' recPh'A Courtesy photo

Novel about mental illness has different form of writing style not write in a linear style, which soon threw me a bit offbalance.

But here's the thing. This book is about mental illness — one main character, Claire Bishop, has Alzheimer's in her family, and the other character, West Butler, is

diagnosed with schizophrenia.

The novel begins in the 1950s with Claire sitting for a portrait, painted by an artist named Nicolette. Upon the big reveal, Claire discovers thatNicolettehas painted her suicide. Disturbedas mostpeoplewould be— Claire immediately tries to get rid of the painting.

Fast forward to 2004 when a young man named West discovers the painting and is convinced that it was painted by his ex-girlfriend.

As he weans himself offhis medication, West starts constructing a reality where Nicolette travels through time and he is sure she's left clues about how to find her. He trusts no one.

As the novel jumps back and forth in time, the reader experi-

Quest and Coloring Book," by Johanna Basford 7."Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: The Illustrated Edition," by J.K. Rowling 8.''What Pet Should I Get," by Dr. Seuss

enceswar protestsofthe 1960s and enters the world of art theft.

As Iread,Ifeltthatstrange push-pull some books have, where I want to put it down and walk away for awhile, yet I really want to know what's going to happen next. And when I finished, my brain felt so scattered — I didn't know how I felt about the book.

But I believe that is the whole point, to letthereaderexperience mental illness through the characters.

I can't wait to talk to the author — this topic of mental illness is a monumental one to tackle. In the meantime, I'm calling a book club meeting for those friends who have finished the book — it's one Ihave to talk aboutin orderto digest it.
