Ramona Phillips, Chairman Wallowa Comnty Planninw Commission Gina R. Binkley Sierra Hull and her mandolin. Mandolin in hand, Sierra Hull returns to play OK Theatre a second time By Steve Tool Wallowa County Chieftain The OK Theatre is doing its share of provid- ing quality entertainment, this time, presenting man- dolin wunderkind, Sierra Hull for the second time. The 28-year-old is already a master on her instrument while also playing gui- tar. Hull plays the OK on March 21. A virtual prodigy at eight, Hull a native Ten- nesseean, recorded her fi rst album at the age of 10 and was befriended and men- tored by Alison Krauss at the age of 11. Hull had played the White House by the age of 20 and had also attended the esteemed Berklee School of Music in its fl edgling folk/Americana program. OK Theatre owner Dar- rell Brann said he fi rst heard of Hull about fi ve years ago as her name kept popping up in discussions of bluegrass performers and on the Nashville scene. “Though she’s a won- derful bluegrass picker, her skills are far beyond that in what you’re going to hear in her playing,” Brann said. “She can play well in any genre.” For example, Hull is coming to the valley with a guitar, sax and bass player accompanying. “I watched the little video clip they sent me, and that band is just smok- ing,” Brann said. Hull is also bringing along opening act, Sam Reider, a wonderful musi- cian from New York, according to Brann. “It’s fun to see these young kids killing it with their musicianship,” Brann said. The theatre owner also said that he’s looking for- ward to showing the pub- lic the progress that’s been made on the OK’s renovation. “We’ve got some things to show people,” Brann said. “But we’ve come a long way.” Tickets are $25 and are available at eventbrite.com as well as the Bookloft, Joseph Hardware and the Dollar Stretcher. The doors open at 6 p.m. and the show runs from 7-10 p.m. Lawmakers come and go, but the lobby remains a powerful constant in Oregon By Claire Withycombe, Aubrey Wieber and Paris Achen Oregon Capital Bureau SALEM — As the 2019 Legislature steams ahead, an army of 1,000 lobbyists is at work to gain political favors from the state’s 90 legislators. Two years ago, special interests reported to the state that they spent $39 million on that effort. The most expensive lob- bying effort in 2017 was staged by the Oregon Asso- ciation of Realtors, fol- lowed by Western States Petroleum Association and the Oregon Nurses Associ- ation, according to spend- ing reports required by the state. Oregon law requires anyone who hires a lob- byist to report what they spend to try to bend the Legislature to their will. That transparency is intended to hold legisla- tors and lobbyists account- able, providing the public a way to judge who’s serving whom. Housing advocates and hospitals have already secured big wins with a fi rst-of-its-kind rent control bill signed into law Thurs- day and a Medicaid bill awaiting signature by Gov. Kate Brown. Still to come are sig- nifi cant proposals such as carbon pricing, campaign fi nance reform and educa- tion spending, as well as a THE ONE STOP SHOP FOR YOUR HVAC... resents businesses such as Schnitzer Steel Indus- tries and pharmaceutical companies. “Everyone has a lob- byist, whether or not they are some high-paid, pow- er-wielding person who has notable wins or losses,” Wittenberg said. “Basic associations have lobbyists, like AARP, the Humane Society. The food bank has a lobbyist because they want to feed more people.” For that money, inter- Claire Withycombe/Oregon Capital Bureau est groups expect to have Visitors and advocates at the Oregon Capitol, Feb. 28 2019. infl uence, raising the ques- Lobbyists can often be found sitting or standing in the tion of whether lawmakers hallways or rotunda waiting to meet lawmakers. are voting on behalf of their constituents back home or tobacco tax and pharma- lobbying than they did a for the interest groups fi ll- ceutical pricing bills.
