My Little Princess
And I’m not the only one wearing a princess outfit. A Little Princess is coming to the Elgin Opera House! And when I say “A Little Princess”, I’m not referring to the size of the lead actress, though she is, in fact, very short and cute as a panda button. The show is called a little princess, and it’s a good old-fashioned family drama designed to give people a feel-good experience out at the Elgin theatre.
The story of the Little Princess is about Hayley, a ten year old girl who moves to London with her rich military father. But when big daddy warbucks—whoops! Wrong play–when big daddy Crewe is shipped off to the wars, the little girl is left in a religious school with a headmistress who is, well, let’s just say she’s the kind of person that makes people hate Christianity.
*Gasp!* But that’s not the end of the play…
The play ends on a high note, the actors said, and in the process we learn, like they did, a lot about father-daughter 
relationships.
The play shows two weekends, the 8th 9th and the 15th 16th. So if you, like me, sometimes want to feel like a princess, don’t buy a tiara, dress drag and walk down the streets in La Grande. You’ll get shot. I promise. Instead, head out to the Elgin Opera House and get your princess feels vicariously at The Little Princess. More information and tickets can be found on the Elgin Opera House website.

Feds Pay The Bills
Jeez, how many democrats are running against Greg Walden this year? Five or six, I think, and it seems like every single one of them has been in La Grande Alive’s studio to talk to me about their platform! Well, I guess I haven’t talked with all of them, but this week I got to sit down with another one, Tim White, a recently-retired-to-Bend ex-CFO who’s got an inkling to take a shot at politics.
Now, like Coleen McLeod-Skinner several weeks ago, Tim White is big on infrastructure: what he really wants to see in Eastern Oregon are more highways and interstates so that more big-business ventures will come into our area to manufacture. Kind of like the Boardman and Hermiston area. But roads mean taxes, you might be thinking, and taxes mean less money for me. And how exactly am I going to afford MORE taxes when I make 10 bucks an hour and have three kids to feed? Well, don’t worry. You won’t pay for the infrastructure, the feds will. And that’s the foundation of Tim’s vision: higher federal taxes on those with bigger tax brackets so that you don’t have to fork over more of your limited income to increase the infrastructure.
Overall the conversation was, well, mostly him talking and me listening. I didn’t do much yacking on this particular Coffee With Will. I just got to shut up and listen, which is nice sometimes, to be honest. The rest of the interview can be viewed on La Grande Alive’s website or Facebook page.
