Payments ranging from $56 to $8,750 have been mailed to 126 commercial salmon permit holders eligi- ble for compensation.

In the wake of the new poli- cy, many commercial fishers invested in new equipment in anticipation of the new rules, saw their harvests re- duced or experienced other financial impacts. Fire department seeks needy residents for food baskets Warrenton Fire Depart- ment is taking applications from those in need who’d like a Christmas food bas- ket. Applications are available during business hours at the main fire station, 225 S. Main Ave. Since today, Nov. 30, is the last day to apply, it’s recommended residents fill out applications while at the fire station. No late ap- plications will be accepted. The baskets are for those who live in the city of War- renton or the Warrenton Fire Protection District. Proof of residency is re- quired and only 100 appli- cations will be accepted. Food baskets can be picked up from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 19, at the fire station. The agency is not provid- ing gifts this year so it can focus on providing the max- imum amount of food per basket.
