Warrenton High School senior is selected for Student of the Month honor 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 developed the program to recognize accomplished WHS students who clearly make a difference in their school and/or in our com- munity. The school administra- tion chooses each recipi- ent, and selected Coolidge for September because he encourages other students, and plays a leadership role 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. Information about the Warrenton Sunrise Rotary Club’s programs is avail- able on the group’s Face- book page. Submitted photo Seafoo d & Grill Simply the finest seafood to be found...

CCB#177717 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,
