Design students showcase work during art hike
ASTORIA — Students from
Clatsop Community Col-
lege’s basic design class will
showcase their spring term
projects during an art hike in
a local forest Friday, June 2.
The projects for the
“Shinrin-Yoku Art Hike”
have an ecological theme
and will be installed along
on the trail connecting
the college to the Astoria
Column. The trail can be ac-
cessed from the east end of
the lower parking lot. Flags
crated by Lives in Transition
students will signal the trail
entrance.
The project is inspired
by the Japanese concept
“Shinrin-Yoku Forest Bath-
ing,” a form of healing that
involves wandering along
a forest trail and spending
time in nature, according to
press materials. The art hike
is also inspired by Marco
Davis’ “A Sunday in the
Park with Art.”
From 12:30 to 2 p.m. and
4 to 5:30 p.m., the event will
feature special performanc-
es, including belly dancing
by Varyin Parham and
Allystar Green. Dave Drury,
a college guitar instructor,

will help kick off the event
by performing on the trail
between 12:30 and 1 p.m.
In addition, the event will
feature the college Rocks
Campaign, an off-shoot of
the Astoria Rocks group, in
which hand-painted rocks
are placed along the trail for
hikers to find.
“If you are lucky enough
to spot a rock along the trail,
you may keep it or relocate
it for another hiker to dis-
cover,” organizers wrote.
The painted rocks have
been created not only by the
design students taught by
Instructor Kristin Shauck,
but by watercolor students,
Lives in Transition students,
Talent Search middle school
students, and creative non-
fiction students.

tours of the Maya Lin-de-

SEASIDE — Two Seaside
High School students are
helping with the second an-
nual Jason Goodding Memo-
rial Cornhole Tournament, a
fundraiser that will be held
noon Saturday, June 17, at
the Seaside Elks Lodge (324
Ave. A).
Registration begins at
11:30 a.m., but early online
registration is also encour-
aged. All ages are welcome.
The cost is $100 for a
two-person team. Participa-
tion in the tournament is not

page can do so at the event
location.
The event will include a

the tournament.
On Feb. 5, 2016, Good-
ding, a Seaside police
sergeant, was shot and killed
in the line of duty. The
tournament honors Jason
and his legacy of community
service.
Proceeds are marked for
the Jason Goodding schol-
arship of $1,000 that will
go to a Seaside High School
graduate pursuing a career in
teaching or criminal justice.
The Seaside students’
participation is for their
Pacific Project, a graduation
requirement. Students must
perform 50 hours of commu-
nity service, followed by a
presentation before a board
JASON GOODDING
of prominent community
members.
But, the students said,
this “is not a project to us,
it is a way to help carry on
Jason’s legacy, and what he
stood for as a person.”
