Fall chinook runs look to be big Sutton receives

COLUMBIA RIVER —
Another record return of fall
chinook salmon is likely on its
way, according to preliminary
estimates released Feb. 13.
Fishery managers with the
Washington Department of Fish
and Wildlife are predicting an
estimated return of 900,200
adult fall chinook. It would be
the third largest return on record
dating back to 1938. Returns in
2013 — a total of 1.2 million
adults — remain the highest on
record. Last year, the second
highest return, came out to 1.1
million adults.

was even higher at 784,300.

On Friday, approximate-
ly 25 Latino high school
students from Astoria and
Seaside High Schools visit-
ed the Clatsop Community
College campus to explore
opportunities for continuing
their education.
The group was welcomed
by CCC President Lawrence
*DOL]LR 7KH\ OLVWHQHG WR D
panel of current CCC Latino
Club students discuss their
experiences. A campus tour
was followed by lunch with
students and faculty. One
highlight of the lunch was
the creation of instant ice
cream using liquid nitrogen
by faculty member Randy
Weese and his chemistry
students.
Information sessions re-
garding admission to CCC,
financial aid and a variety
of student support programs
were also provided.
This first-time event to
introduce Latino students
to Clatsop Community
College was planned and
funded by the CCC Latino
Club, which repeatedly has
been named the Most Ac-
tive Club on campus and
regularly sponsors campus
events such as tamale sales
and Día De Los Muertos
celebrations to raise funds
for scholarships. Members
also engage in a variety of
community service activi-
ties.
“Our Latino Club stu-
dents not only strive to suc-
ceed in their own classes,
but also act upon a deep
sense of obligation to bet-
ter our community through
service to others,” said club
adviser Eileen Purcell.
The visit by Latino stu-
dents precedes CCC’s Se-
nior Preview Day which is
8:15 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thurs-
day.
The day’s activities are
designed to help seniors
learn about the numerous
programs and opportunities
available at CCC and why
it’s an affordable option.
The Horatio Alger Asso-
ciation gives away hundreds
of thousands of dollars in
scholarship money to stu-
dents all around the country.
And earlier this month
Maddie Sutton, and Astoria
High School senior and Clat-
sop Community College Up-
ward Bound program partic-
ipant, was awarded a $7,000
scholarship from the asso-
ciation to attend a four-year
postsecondary institution of
her choice.
“This scholarship will
help me further my educa-
tion by giving me the op-
portunity to attend the col-
lege of my dreams,” said
Sutton. “I am considering
studying education when
I go to college. My career
plans at this point are to
graduate college and work
LQWKHHGXFDWLRQ¿HOG´
Sutton has a wide range
of interests but she also takes
time to help other people.
“My personal interests
include hiking, working,
spending time with my
family and friends, and
cadet teaching. My senior
project was volunteer-
ing with kindergartners,
which inspired me to con-
tinue as a cadet teacher,”
she said.
The CCC Upward
Bound program is ded-
icated to helping high
school students prepare
for college. Sutton’s Up-
ward Bound adviser, Mo-
ria Golub, as part of the
broad array of services she
provides, helped Sutton
apply for scholarships and
submit applications to the
colleges of her choice.

Seaside students cut loose with ‘Footloose’ this Friday
SEASIDE — About 25 Sea-
side High School students have
been singing and dancing since
January, preparing to bring the
school’s spring musical, “Foot-
loose,” to the stage.
The show opens Friday,
with additional performances
Saturday and March 5 through
7. All shows begin at 7 p.m.;
doors open at 6:30 p.m.
When Ren and his mother
move from Chicago to a small
farming town, Ren is prepared
for the inevitable adjustment pe-
riod at his new high school. What
he isn’t prepared for are the rigor-
ous local edicts, including a ban
on dancing instituted by the local
preacher, determined to exercise
the control over the town’s youth
that he cannot command in his
own home.
When the minister’s rebel-
lious daughter sets her sights
on Ren, her roughneck boy-
friend tries to sabotage Ren’s
reputation, with many of the
locals eager to believe the
worst about the new kid. The
story that emerges is of a father
longing for the son he lost and
of a young man aching for the
father who left him.
Luke Surber, Claire Ogilvie
and Joseph Harkins are in the lead
roles of Ren McCormack, Ariel
Shaw and the Reverend Shaw.
They are supported by students
