Speaking before the North Portland
meeting of the Save Our County Charter
Committee Senator Vern Cook (D) Gres
ham criticized the Multnomah County
Commissioners for refusing to issue a
voters pamphlet covering the forth
coming special election to repeal the
county charter amendments voted into
the Multnomah County Charter by the
voters at the general election last No
vember. Senator Cook stated that the
compromise offer to print the text of the
measure made by the League of Women
Voters explaining the arguments in the
Oregonian, Journal, and Gresham Out
look was not an adequate substitute for a
voter’s pamphlet. Senator Cook pointed
out, “The Oregonian and Journal reach
not more than 60% of the approximate
236,000 households in Multnomah
County.” He further stated, “If news
papers are to be used as a substitute for
the voters pamphlet the County Commis
sioners should also utilize The Commu
nity Press, The St. Johns Review, The
Sellwood-Moreland Bee, The Portland
Observer, and the other local newspapers
with strong local readership. The use of
these additional local papers should in
crease the delivery to an estimated 90%
of Multnomah County households. This
latter approach would be the next best
thing to a voters pamphlet.”

“STARDUST” - ITS A WINNER!!
“Stardust” is the best locally produced musical I’ve seen in years. It is presented by
Star Productions and directed by the multi-talented Rosemary Allen. With gifted
Thara Memory doing the musical arrangements. “Stardust” is a musical about Black
people - their sorrow, their happiness, their dreams, their frustrations and their
relentless strides for stardom.
“Stardust” incorporates the Black Renaissance of the 20’s, when Black people were
making measurable headway on all fronts in American society. “Stardust” denotes the
general attitude of Black during that era and brings you right along to the year 1977
with “The Wiz.”
There are scenes from several Broadway musicals:“Purlie,” “Porgy and B ess,’
“Raisin In The Sun,” “Green Pastures,” and “The Wiz.” As the actors sailed through
the fifteen scenes, it was quite clear, not only to me, but to the entire audience, that a
lot of hard work, dedication and talent went into this production.
As with any musical, it becomes apparent who the standout performers are.
“Stardust” is no exception to the rule, in terms of theatrical talent, delivery and
overall professionalism. Sandra Love, in scenes one, four and eight, showed the talent
of a young actress full of talent, wit and humor. Her roles are very compatible with
her abilities. Roger Reid was impressive in all of the scenes he appeared in - singing,
dancing and acting. You name it, he’s good at all of it. Luerine Wilson, not only is a
good dancer and actress, she also has a very strong and lovely voice.
If Beverly Hudges doesn’t make it as an actress, she certainly will as a singer! Her
voice is soft, fluid and a delight to listen to. During the course of the evening, she
sang, “Stormy Weather,” “Satin Doll,” “Porgy,” and Summertime.” The dancers in
“Stardust” were simply excellent. Scenes three, seven and thirteen were done in good
taste, style and inventiveness. Rosemary Allen, the writer, director and one of the
stars of “Stardust,” offered a life-like performance in scene twelve, entitled
“Graduation,” Kolleh Dura Suma and Sandra Love did a commendable job in scene
ten, “Raisin In The Sun."
The cast of actors and actresses include: Roger Reid, Gloria Johnson, LeCheryl
Cooper, Barbara Pittman, Kolleh Dura Suma, Liz Mosley, Damon Easley, Rosemary
Allen, Sandra Love, Luerine Wilson, Richard Jones, Elaine Simms, Beverly Hodges,
Mrytle Brown, Veronica Alberti and Ayesha Shamsod Dim. It was a truly and
admirable performance by all.
Thara Memory and his Big Band have made a big splash on the musical scene the
last couple of years. Memory has been a familiar name in the Pacific Northwest for
quite sometime. Although he’s noted for his trumpet playing, he also plays a dozen
other instruments. The scoring and arranging of “Stardust" has added yet another
dimension to this multi-talented performer. He and his band contributed greatly to
the overall success of “Stardust.” Members of his band include: Ramon Ortega, Doug
Lawrence, Richard Tippets, Peter Piazza, Mel Abel, Dave Mills, Harry Faulkner,
Terry Hampel, Jim Sours, Bill Harris, Lester Macfarland, Raymond Torrence. Jimmy
Sanders, Mark Neal and Michael Cooper.
Everyone involved in the production of “Stardust” is to be congratulated for their
efforts. It was two hours of musical pleasure.
