Astoria School District
honors Wadsworth
Electric’s generosity
The Astoria School District
Board of Directors recognized
Wadsworth Electric, and man-
ager Cass Liljenwall, at their
regular board meeting Feb.
10. ASD and Wadsworth have
built a collaborative partner-
ship for over the last decade,
and this year school year Wad-
sworth has helped the dis-
trict convert indoor and out-
door electrical ¿xtures to more
energy ef¿cient LED styles.
Wadsworth has also taken
care of the leg work involved
in applying for and receiving
Oregon Energy credit monies
to help with these projects. In
addition to their work around
energy conservation, Wad-
sworth has been generous with
donations to the district. This
year alone they have donated
the use of their utility bucket
truck to change exterior park-
ing lights at no charge, and
they have installed conduit and
electrical outlets for an addi-
tional cooler needed at Lewis
and Clark Elementary School.
Additionally, they keep an
inventory of parts and supplies
on hand to better serve the
needs of students.
As part of Columbia Bank’s “Warm Hearts” Cam-
paign, the Astoria and Warrenton branches togeth-
er raised $2506.58 in cash, plus a large amount
of winter clothing, blankets, hats and gloves for
the Astoria Warming Center. Pictured, from left,

vieve Butenshon, vice president/ branch manager

School district
shows appreciation
for P & L Johnson
The Astoria School Dis-
trict Board of Directors recog-
nized P & L Johnson, speci¿-
cally co-owners Dale Johnson
and Paul Radu, at its Feb. 10
board meeting. Over the past
¿ve years the company has
guided the district in reduc-
ing energy consumption. Elec-
tronic controls for boilers and
other heating systems have
been installed at the last two
buildings needing them, Astor
and Astoria High School.
Other systems reducing energy
consumption include updated
timers for heating systems and
upgraded refrigeration units
for the many coolers were all
installed. Controlling tempera-
tures and fan systems during
non-scheduled building use
times reduces a signi¿cant
amount of energy waste.
P & L Johnson has also
been instrumental with work-
ing with district of¿cials to
plan for the future, charges
a reduced rate for all service
calls and continually donates
labor and supplies at cost for
system improvements.
