Lianne La Havas is one of the
Lianne la Havas "Blood"(Warner Bros.)
m ost beguiling pop stars of ourtime. With her second record, sheconfirms this status. Aestheticallybreathtaking, she is a charming and immaculately dressed25-year-old of Greek and Jamaican origin born in London."Is YourLove Big Enough?" — her 2012debut — earned well-deservedaccolades, partly on the strength ofwonderful singles such as the titletrack and "Forget." Her much anticipated sophomore efFort, "Blood,"might not have singles with suchimmediate appeal.
She front-loads the crowd-pleasers: "Unstoppable," a gauzy introduction that rewards patiencewith a meaty beat, lush productionand a sing-along chorus; "Green &Gold," a delightful, jazzy show ofconfidence in a mirror, a reflection on both her youthfulness andconnection to an ancient bloodline;and the video-accompanied 'WhatYou Won't Do," a riff on early '60sgirl groups with a timeless, sultryedge. La Havas was in Jamaicawhen she got the creative urge.Co-producer Stephen McGregorcame with 4e co-produces here),and their studio sessions includedPaul Epworth (one of Adele's mainmen on "21").

LA GRANDE — When considering buying a home, most peoplelook for a big deck or a valley view.
Fred Hill is different. The yearwas 1988. He was moving back tothe Grande Ronde Valley after a 38year career as a corporate photographer and print shop foreman in theBayArea. He knew he had foundhis dream home on Sunsetin LaGrande when he saw the windowless room in the basement. Sure, theroom needed wiring and plumbing,

The photographs were takenanywhere from 1936 to 1992.

his lifetime collection of negatives.'Some of the black and white nega
tives I shoteightdecades ago aie stillpmducing good prints,"he said.
His daughter, Vivian Matthews, aUnion High School teacher, encouraged him to get his photo treasuretrove sorted out and identified.
He's well under way in theprocess. He's given about 5,000negatives to the Pierce Libraryarchive on the Eastern OregonUniversity campus.
'They're scanning them, indexingthem and putting them on their website," Hill said.'That way, anybodywho is a writer, researcher or educator can get them off the website."
Hill has always done photographsthe old-fashioned way and has nointention ofriding the digital wave.
"No question, digitalis here to stay,"he said."Ithas the mostunusual
flexibilities. I'm not sureit's anybetter, or less sharp, than achemicallypmduced film origiM print."
He also has no intention ofswtiching over to color.
"Color is miserable to processyourself," he said, "unless youhave a lot of electronic tim ers andthings like that."
When Hill was growing up inElgin, his mother, school teacherEtha (HuSnanl Hill, got him abox camera at about age 10. Shehad learned to do her own processing from her dad, Charles DanielHuSnan, who worked with oldglass plate negatives.
Four years or so later, Hill andhis mom visited the Westenskowsin Imbler where son Garth, whowas seven or eight years older thanHill, had a darkroom in the cellar.
"He showed me the process," Hillsaid.'When I saw an image comingup in the developer, fiom a piece ofwhite paper, I was hooked."
Hill soon outgrew his own cellardarkroom and the family foundan empty building that could berented in Elgin for $3 a month,including water. By the time hewas a high school senior, he had athriving business.
"I could develop 20 rolls at atime," he said."I advertised,'In by5 (p.m.l, out by 9 (a.m.l."'
He convinced the school superintendent he could take classpictures with his 5x7 camera andsold them for 25 cents a print.
In 1940, the National Guardunit he belonged to was mobilizedinto federal service as World War IIbroke out. Eventually, he was ableto transfer to the Air Force and wasstationed in New Guinea as a labchief specializing in the timely development ofreconnaissance photos.After getting out of the service,
Hill attended the California Schoolof Fine Arts in San Francisco.
Thatgave further momentumto Hill's lifetime love for black andwhite photography.

SUMPTER — Music in theMeadow 6 has two days of performers lined up for this year'sevent happening Saturday andSunday in Sumpter.
Activities and musicians arescheduled fiom noon to 9 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
The suggested donation is $5.
This is the event's sixth year,and the fourth that Leanne Woolfhas helped organize.
Like last year, Music in theMeadow will be closer to the mainstreet, near the Sumpter DredgeState Heritage Area. In previousyears, all the action was set up atthe fairgrounds up the hill fromthe main part of town.
The new location is also close tothe Sumpter Valley Railroad depot.
"Certainly when you have asteam locomotive pulling into yourvenue, it adds energy,"Woolf said.
She suggests that those attending bring their own chairs as wellas shade because there are only afew trees in the area.
The weather is anyone's guess."Be prepared for 100 and sunny
or 50 and rainy. It's summer in themountains," she said.
The days will also featureactivities for the kids — '%n oldfashioned games,"Woolf said.
The audience varies throughoutthe day — some stay the entiretime and others wander in andout, she said.
Others arrive by the SumpterValley Railroad and are usuallysurprised to find a music festivalwhen they disembark the train.
. The meeting dates, times and locations are:
:: Elgin Community Center, 6 to 8 p.m.('= y:
Wed~ ay, A ugust 19, 2015, '- WaKovz~enim Center, 6 to 8 p.m.

ENTERPRISE — There'ssomething about classic car showsthat bring on waves of nostalgia.
Think about cruising the gut, orvisiting the local drive-in on a balmysummer's night, only to see a lineupof cars that were builtin the GreatDepression or in the years Dwight"ILike Ike"was president.
Enterprise gets in the mood andgroove this weekend for a classiccar invasion.
The first Main Street Show &Shine in Enterprise, held in 2014,was a rousing success, and thisyear's could be even bigger.

I ' I I I I Ia I l~kWriting soothes Summerville poet's soul
IEFF PETERSENGoNortheastoregon.com
LA GRANDE — Poetry is toPuerto Rico what corn is to Iowa.
As a young child, Summerville's Amelia Diaz Ettingerbegan reciting poetry and grew tolove the art form.
"It was something that wasvery present in most PuertoRican families," she said."Theextended families would gettogether for big lunches and dinners where poetry was recited.It was natural. Poetry was also
prevalent on TV, featuring Carribbean poets."
Now Ettinger has had a collection ofher poems, "Speakingat a Time," published by RedBat Books. A book launch partywill be held at 6 p.m. Thursdayat Looking Glass Books inLa Grande.
The recently retired La GrandeHigh School biology, world science and Spanish teacher said thepoems all originated fiom a timewhen she was missing Puerto Rico."There's a thread of nostalgia
woven through the poems," shesard.
"I miss the extended family," Ettinger said."Most of thepoems in the book were writtenwhen my kids were little. I wasthinking about the enrichnessthey were missing. The food. I

could come close to preparing thedishes, but back then, in the '80s,there was a limited amount ofingredients available here for anauthentic Puerto Rican kitchen.I missed the beaches, the coralreefs, the parties that alwaysincluded dancing and music."
Ettinger gets lots of her inspiration from reading. A couple ofEttinger's favorite poets when shewas writing the book were Fed
erico Garcia Lorca from Spain andPablo Neruda from Chile.
Growing up, Ettinger was inspired by two poets who were veryvisible and recited their negroidonomatopoeic poems on TVPales Matos of Puerto Rico andNicolas Guillen of Cuba.
Tastes, however, change."I now read a wide eclectic
group of writers," she said.Poems, she said, are born in dif
ferent ways.e You take a framework and be
gin adding and subtracting untilyou get something that conveyswhat you want to say and something that might give people somefulfillment," she said.
Ettinger said she believes writing a poem is a lot like cooking."People either love cooking or
they don't," she said."In poetry,I have a thought and then I seeit on paper. When you finish, youthink, Wow, that's kind of cool.'You can taste it, feel it, be m ovedbyit."The poet believes a key to good
writing is to immerse yourself in alot of good poetry.
"I like to play with words," shesaid."A lot of good poetry is playing with words. I like to take apoem in Spanish and sit down andtranslate it into English. Writingdown poems on paper opens areasin your brain. You see how wordsare put together by a master, andit improves your own writing."
Because of her career, alongwith raising a family, Ettingertook a long hiatus in writing. Nowshe is back full force, rediscovering work she did earlier, rewritingand polishing.
"I'm still writing poetry," shesaid, "but it's more eclectic now,not as thematic as the book."
Ettinger is also writing a novelcarrying the working title"FalseMemories." It's a loosely autobiographical tale about growing upon the islands.

The day starts with yard sales,new this year, and a pancakebreakfast at the Founders Hall tofuel all-comers for a day of fun.
"A lot of people come to townthat weekend, and we want tomake the yard sales more visibleto draw even a few more people,"said Betty Arnson of the CherryFair committee.People should call 541-568-4451
to get on the yard sale map.The contests and games kick ofF
at 11:30 a.m. with whistling for all."I worked at the Sonoma
County iCalifornial Fair for 15years and have lots of experiencewith on-the-spot contests," saidJohn Silveira, who calls himselfthe "Crazy Contest Guy.""I carry
IHlle
around this portable stage calledthe vest pocket stage. I'll jump upon it and call everyone over, and itwill be judged by the crowd."
That's followed by the popularfarm animal imitations — sheep,cows and goats, oh my.
Then arms will be tested in thewater balloon toss, and enduranceand hoppiness in the three-legged
Then the real fun begins. This

and the one that eats the slowest,the daintiest and for the longestextended time wins the prize,"Arnson said."A lot of people enter just to stufF
pie in their face," Silveira said."This will be different. People willeat pie as politely as they can, andit will be judged by anonymousjudges."
Silveira said once a man cameextremely well-prepared to theSonoma fair to win the polite piecontest, as he was dressed in awhite shirt and bow tie.
Capping ofF the games is thecherry pit spitting contest inhonor of the thriving cherryindustry in Cove for which thefestival is named.

a< l~i>i IPuzzle game 'Prune' has flowered into best seller
ers in"Prune" trim or guide atree around barren, light-starvedatmospheres. The more precisethe direction, the more flowers thetrees will grow. Described as a"loveletter" to nature, the $4.59 gamebrings with it an abstract look anda meditative sound to plant life.
"Prune's" instant success alsosettles a bet McDonald had whenhe left his job contributing toblockbuster games. He wageredthat today's gamers are hungryfor differentexperiences,perhapseven calming ones. He was right.
"I don't see the point in makinga game that's already been made,"
says McDonald, 31."Prune" definitely stands out
among its App Store competitors,and not just because it's absentangry birds in its trees. For one,it's a puzzle game that looks andfeels ambient. The art owes a debtto Japanese ink-wash paintings.As trees grow, they look as ifthey're being drawn to life amidbold and simple backgrounds.
Branches can quickly becomerather intricate, which is wherethe game becomes challenging. Astrees grow fast, players have tosculpt faster. Trim one branch tolet another one live — or change
the direction of growth — but trimtoo much and the tree dies.
There are obstacles. A redsphere, for instance, is dangerous.Don't let the tree grow into one or itwill quickly become brittle and die.
The tone is forlorn. The music,designed by Kyle Preston, is otherworldly. Melancholic electronicssound as if they're mimicking astring section. It's patient — asound for a leisurely stroll througha museum, perhaps.
That's fitting because "Prune" isa game that feels like an art piece.It all brings a sense ofheft to themission at hand.
Here, glowing dark orbs act assort of seeds in the sky that provideinstant growth spurts. Backgroundsare often formed by little more thangray- or tan-tinted lines and blackcircles. Combined, they create spotless and unpolluted patterns, whichthe player must navigate.
Whether intentional or not,there's a slight underlying sensation of sadness. After all, it's in thehands of the player to restore lifeto these seemingly infertile worlds.Each time a flower grows, it doesso with a chime, a briefbrightburst of noise that pierces thesoftly bleak score.
By Todd MartensLos Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — Not too longago Joel McDonald was workingon video games in which playerscould pummel bullets into trees.Today, he's crafted a puzzle gamein which players nurture trees.
The result? This former "Call ofDuty" designer has one of the hottest games on the market.
His mobile game"Prune"wasnear the top ofApple's paid AppStore charts for much oflast week.Not bad for a game in which the goalis to watch a tree sprout flowers.

The final choice to make with thethird bean is'What's still with you?"
Many pioneers started out withtoo much stuff and tossed outitems along the trail as they went.
For this decision, the choicesare: grandmother's patchworkquilt, the cribbage board your father made you or the journal youwrote in each night.
Sentimental items versus thewritten record of the journey?
That's a tough one. In reality Iwould choose the quilt or cribbageboard, but for this I added my beanto the"journal" jar, thinldng ofhowmuch we wouldn't know if pioneershadn't kept their journals.
Journals are what inspired "Pioneer Perspectives," a new additionto the center's main gallery.
Visitors can pick up a smallpaper booklet and read journalentries of a real pioneer.
There are seven differentpeople featured, and each hadmentioned five specific sites alongthe trail — Platte River, SouthPass, Salmon Falls, Snake Riverand Columbia River.
As you walk through the exhibit,you'll find wooden boxes near thedisplays for these sites. Attachedto the boxis acrayon to make anetching inside the booklet.
At the end of the tour, the booklet tells what happened to eachpioneer, and then leaves space foryou to enter your own story andget a passport stamp from thecenter's information desk.

I ' ~ I ' I I I I'Apartment-style brewing' at its finest
Northeast Oregon eatsWhere I ate: Elkhorn Saloon,180 Mill St., SumpterWhat I Ordered: ¹27Cheeseburger in ParadiseThe Cost: $9.05The Verdict: My husband,Duane, and I absolutely loveto take weekend drives andexplore all the different thingsthat Northeast Oregon has tooffer — and it has quite a bitto offer.A few weeks ago we decidedto ride the rails in Sumpterand grab some tasty food. Asa self-proclaimed "foodie,"the minute I heard of aplace — the Elkhorn Saloon— that served 43 differenthamburgers, including acherry pie style burger, I knewI had to check it out. WhileI wasn't as adventuresomeas I would have liked to be, Idid try the Cheeseburger inParadise.A savory coconutandpineapple burger with oozingcheddarcheese,toppedoff with a side of curly fries(with every bite leaving methinking how my personaltrainer would be requiringme to do a few extra jumpingjacks). The Elkhorn Saloonwas the perfect place to endour Sumpter adventure andwell worth the extra workout.

tt was hard enough leaving mybeehives when we chose to
move from our house in Vancouver, Washington, to an upstairsapartment in Baker City, sodamned if I would chuck all mybrew equipment, too.
On our first trip back to seefamily, I rifled through the storageshed and garnered enough stuffto try my hand at apartment-stylehomebrewing. I stared at my popkeg, beer-dispensing system with aheavy heart, knowing that we nowhad only the one fiidge — so bottlingit would be. I had somewhatprepared in advance by"emptying"enough beer bottles for a five-gallonbatch — rather quickly I might add.
On our next monthly shoppingforay to Boise, Idaho, I purchasedmy grains and yeast. I grew myown hops for years and had plentyin the freezer.
I am not overly scientific whenit comes to homebrewing. I followthe recipe and try to keep thetemperatures somewhat close.
Keeping things sanitary isanother story. Ever worked halfa day, on what you know will bethe best brew ever, only to watchit spoil in the carboy? Cleaningmy equipment was the first ofmany obstacles I encounteredwhile brewing in unfamiliar territory. The only sink big enoughfor buckets, carboys, etco was the

to boil on an electric stovetop isoutright mind-numbing. It neverfails that after an hour of watchfulness you will leave the area for10 seconds and, of course, it willboil over. This seems to upset thewife even more than the bathtubsanitizing event.
Ingredients for 5 gallons of unscientific, all grain"Upstairs IPA":
10 lbs. two-row pale ale malt1 lb. 40-50L crystal malt2 oz. hops of your choice (mine
were homegrown, dried Cascade)1 tsp. Irish mossAle yeast to your liking3/4cup of corn sugar or
1/2 cup of honey (mypreference) for bottlingAdd the crushed grains to 1.75 gal
lons of168-degree F water. The mashshould stabilize at150-155. Hold thattemp, as close as you can, for an hour.Sparge with 4.5 gallons of170-degreewater. Add water as needed to brewpot for a total of 6 gallons.
When it is "finally" boiling add1 oz. hops, boil 75 minutes. Add1/2 oz. hops, Irish moss and boil15 minutes. Turn off heat and addthe last hops, steep for 2 minutes.Homebrewers know what to donext — others can read a book.
