A Stomp Odyssey
The smash hit “Stomp " transforms the
ordinary into the extraordinary by giving
everyday life a rhythm. The international
sensation uses lighters, brooms, pipes and
garbage lids, anything but conventional per­
cussion instruments, to fill the stage with
compelling and infectious rhythms, suitable for
the whole family. Stomp is making its second
stop in Portland as part of Keller Auditorium’s
Broadway in Portland series with perfor-
L mances Tuesday, Aug. 12 through Sun­
day, Aug. 17. For more information, call

Mars will not only be in direct

be closer to Earth than humankind
has ever seen.
“T hat’s because o f the planets’
elliptical orbits,” said Jim Todd,
OMSI Murdock Planetarium man-

circles, so it takes 60,000 years for
Earth and Mars to meet up at their
closest possible point,” he said.

State law requires lobbyists to
register and document their spend­
