Corn patch
adventure on
Sauvie Island
A corn field of fun brings people to the MAiZE at The Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie Island, northwest of Portland.
The MAiZE at The Pumpkin Patch on
Sauvie Island is presenting a haunted ver­
sion of its annual event this year with tours
continuing this Friday and Saturday evening
and each night of the Halloween weekend of
Oct. 28 through Oct. 31.
By moonlight visitors test their mettle as
they experience over a mile of haunted trails,
daring visitors to encounter ghouls and
monsters around every turn or perhaps right
behind them.
Those seeking a more jovial autumn ad­
venture can tour the cornfield maze by day­
light, also enjoying cow train rides and hay-
rides, a pumpkin patch, produce market and
the awesome autumn scenes on Sauvie Is­
land.
Visitors find that the pathways inside the
corn are more than an aerial piece of art. The
maze tests the physical and mental skills o f all
ages.
The Pumpkin Patch farm is located north­
west of Portland off U.S. Highway 30. Turn
right at the Sauvie Island junction and cross
the island bridge, turn left immediately after
descending the bridge and loop back under­
neath it. The Pumpkin Patch and the MAiZE
are located two miles ahead. Cost is $8 for
Haunted evenings while regular admission is
$6 for adults and $4 forchildren under 12 and
Seniors, with discounts offered to families,
groups, and field trips.

Documentary Ready for Debut
‘Grandma Zula’s
Legacy’ crosses cultures
Julianne Johnson, Portland recording artist,
actress and director-will debut her indepen­
dently-produced documentary, Grandma Zula’s
Legacy, at a luncheon on Sunday, Oct. 23 at
11:30 a.m. at Marylhurst University in Clark
Commons.
Johnson, Grandma Zula's granddaughter,
narrates while taking the audience on a journey
back to 1930, placing them at a critical time in
modem African-American history. Community
activism is depicted through three generations
o f women in Johnson’s family.
The film presents a personal account of the
African-American migration during the 1940s
and explores Oregon' s racial barriers and pol iti -
cal activism from the 1950s through the 1970s.
Johnson’s goal is to inspire others to take
account of and share their family history in
order to create cross-cultural understanding
and build community. The documentary is
complemented by music and storytelling.
“We are proud to host the premier of this
documentary that resonates with Marylhurst’s
mission-respecting the dignity of all individu­
als and overcoming obstacles to education,"
said Suzanne Washington. M arylhurst's vice
president for development.
The documentary debut luncheon event is
open to the public; tickets are $50. For reserva­
tions, call the college at 503-636-8141 ,ext. 6307.
