The Svensen Senior Meal Site held its annual Halloween party, and nearly everyone came dressed up to enter the costume contest, judged by Barb
Marshall and Jeanie Windsor of The Logger Restaurant. The grand prize was a Logger gift certificate, donated by Mick Schumacher, and three run-
ner-up prizes were donated by Maggie Pearson. The Logger also donated gift certificates for all, and T-shirts for those who dressed up. Table decora-
tions were donated by volunteers, Marcie Gillie, Maggie Pearson and Geri Brown. Cookies and punch were served for dessert.

$745; Kim Pena’s GoFundMe
account for John Lindstrom,
$7,120; WineKraft, $220; and
Phog Bounders, $261.10. The
amounts collected, plus dona-
tions to a Wells Fargo account
set up for the Lindstroms, add
up to almost $27,000.
“Can you believe that in a
town our size?” Jensen asked.
“Everyone has done their own
thing — the Astoria Coffee
House and the Blue Scorcher
donated 25 percent of the take
on certain days, The Rusty
Cup gave $1 per drink on a
particular Friday, the Merry
Time gave 100 percent of the
cover price on a Friday night,
and WineKraft donated a por-
tion of their painting class reg-
istration. Also, Phog Bounders
did a percentage of their take
on a certain day and chal-
lenged some of their vendors
to also contribute.”
“At this point, I’m real-
ly grateful,” she added. “Big
thanks to this warm and won-
derful community.”

On Oct. 21, Coast Rehabili-

developmental disabilities for
many years. She has a gift for
understanding the needs of res-
idents. “Rosemary is graceful
and insightful in how she shares
her gentle spirit,” Shantell Ste-
vens, associate director of resi-
dential services for Coast, said.
“We are so proud to have her as
a part of our organization. ”
Bonett received the award in
front of hundreds of direct sup-
port professionals and manag-
ers gathered for a region-wide
conference sponsored by ORA.
CRS supported resident Debbie
Conti’s mother, Nancy Con-
ti, brought tears to the eyes of
many at the conference, when
she explained how important
Bonett is to her daughter —
how Bonett plans experiences
for her, rather than mere events,
and how she has transformed
her daughter’s life.

was presented by Debbie Con-
ti. In her acceptance speech,
Bonett stated how grateful she
is to be of service to others.

WARRENTON — The
Warrenton Sunrise Rotary
Club has begun a new pro-
gram, and has named War-
renton High School senior
7\OHU &RROLGJH DV LWV ¿UVW
recipient of the Student of
the Month award. The club

recognize
accomplished
WHS students who clearly
make a difference in their

munity.
The school administra-
tion chooses each recipi-

with his peers. A member of
WHS Key Club, and known
for his good manners,
Coolidge has a strong GPA,
takes his academics seri-
ously, and plans to attend
college and continue with
his passion of wrestling.
High school students
who are selected are recog-
nized at the club’s meeting
at Doogers Seafood & Grill
in Warrenton. Each student
receives a printed award
along with some gift certif-
icates from area businesses
who also want to acknowl-
edge noteworthy student
achievements.

Warrenton Sunrise Rotary
Club’s programs is avail-
able on the group’s Face-

The Danish Maid Bakery,
co-owned by John and Jan
Lindstrom, has been closed
because John had a medical
emergency that necessitated
having his left leg amputated
below the knee. Friends and
local businesses have held sev-
eral fundraisers for the couple
to help with medical expenses.
In addition, Kim Pena,
Jan’s sister and a former em-
ployee, created a GoFund-
Me account called “Raising
the Dough,” and on Oct. 24,
Rosemary Johnson and Muriel
Jensen spearheaded the Walk-
a-thon, starting at the Maritime
Memorial and terminating at
the Barbey Maritime Center,
where a silent auction was
held. Howard Rub, the Astoria
High School football coach,
sent the team on the walk to
honor John Lindstrom’s mem-
bership on the team when he
was in high school. The event
raised $6,300.
Other fundraising totals
are as follows: The Rusty
Cup, $140; Blue Scorcher
Bakery Café, $641.01; As-
toria Coffee House, $2,735;
Merry Time Bar and Grill,
