Delve into the art/hike experience
In Their Footsteps
provides an intro to
Sunday in the Park
with Art event
ASTORIA — The last In
Their Footsteps lecture of
the season will take place
at 1 p.m. Sunday, May 15
at the Fort Clatsop Visitor
Center. Marco Davis will
give the talk “Connectivity
Through Art and Nature:
The Art/Hike Experience.”
Davis, an Astoria native,
has been inspired by the
beauty and mystery of local
forests his whole life. A few
years ago, the Kwis Kwis
Trail at Lewis and Clark
National Historical Park
began to speak to him and
a vision was planted in his
mind. He started a conver-
sation with park staff about
the potential of having an
art/hike experience on the
trail.
Davis organized the
park’s irst Sunday in the
Park with Art event and
invited his artist friends
to join. On Sept. 20, they
shared their art with the
community on the Kwis
Kwis Trail as people hiked
the 3-mile loop taking in the
art, music and dance and the
beauty of the natural area.
Davis’ talk will focus on
Find ‘Magic in the
Kitchen’ in Rosburg
Annual Spring Tea
and Luncheon set
May 15 with rale
and silent auction
ROSBURG, Wash. — Grays
River Methodist Church
Friendship Circle will host
its annual Spring Tea and
Luncheon on Sunday, May
15.
Doors will open at
11:30 a.m. at the Rosburg
Community Hall, and
lunch will begin at 12:30
p.m. 4-H youths will again
be the servers.
This year’s theme is
“Magic in the Kitch-
en,” with comedian and
magician Steve Hamilton
as the entertainment. The
program will be about 20
to 25 minutes long and
will appeal to both adults
and children. Children
are welcome to attend but
must be accompanied by
an adult.
The annual tea is known
as a fun mother-daughter
activity. A display com-
prised of unusual kitchen
antiquities, aprons and
memorable cookbooks will
provide topics of conver-
sation. To complement the
theme, Appelo Archives
Center will be selling Don-
na Gatens-Klint’s book
“The Magic in the Back-
woods Kitchen,” which is
filled with recipes, photos
and stories from Naselle
through Grays River in the
Willapa Hills of southwest
Washington.
There will be the usual
pick-your-own-prize raffle
for $1 each and a silent
auction. The raffle will
be held all throughout the
luncheon rather than just
at the end of the event.
The silent auction will
continue throughout the
afternoon. Proceeds from
the silent auction will be
donated to the West End
Food Bank.
Suggested donation at
the door is $8 per person.
Children under age 12 are
$5. For more information,
call 360-465-2740 or 360-
484-7749.
how the art-hike is a way
for people to enjoy nature
and get some exercise while
experiencing art in a way
less travelled. Part of the
“magic” of this event is the
transitory aspect of the art,
which leaves no trace along
the trail afterwards.
Both artists and hikers
enjoyed the September
event so much that the
second Sunday in the Park
with Art will begin right
after Davis’ talk, and the
audience is welcome to join
the hike.
“Sunday in the Park with
Art is Fort Clatsop’s offer-
ing of a peek into the mind
of a park user,” says Davis.
“Comparing Sunday in the
Park with Art as a gallery
show would be mistaken;
the visual and auditory ex-
periences emerge only after
large gaps of quiet and un-
adorned trail. The trail user
is therefore still provided
with mostly the sights and
sounds of nature.”
In Their Footsteps is a
free monthly speaker series
sponsored by the Lewis
& Clark National Park
Association and the park.
The program is held in the
Netul River Room of Fort
Clatsop’s Visitor Center and
is free of charge. For more

Northwest Author Series
hosts Lois Leveen May 14
CANNON BEACH — Author
Lois Leveen will speak at
the next Northwest Author
Series event at the Cannon
Beach Library, located at
131 N. Hemlock St. The
free event is set for 2 p.m.
Saturday, May 14; it will
be the last event for the
2015-16 season.
Leveen, an award-win-
ning author, dwells in the
space between literature and
history. he earned degrees
in history and literature
from Harvard, University
of Southern California and
University of California,
Los Angeles, and has taught
on the faculty of UCLA and
Reed College.
In “Juliet’s Nurse,” a
book which is by turns
comic, sensual and tragic,
Leveen gives voice to one
of literature’s most unfor-
gettable characters, seen
through the eyes of her
long-time nurse, Angelica.
The book has been de-
scribed as richly detailed,
fast-paced and well-re-
searched. One reviewer
commented that “con-

vincing historical details
are sprinkled throughout,
provoking in the reader the
sense of how it must have
been in the 14th century.”
Leveen’s first book,
“Secrets of Mary Bowser,”
was the story of a slave
turned spy for the Union
army. Shining a light on
America’s darkest his-
tory, the story is a good
old-fashioned historical
novel packed with drama,
intrigue, love, loss, and,
most of all, the resilience
of a remarkable heroine
— a story of how ordinary
people can do remarkable
things.
