The Wahkiakum County Eagle - Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891

An article in last week's edition reporting questions and answers for candidates to fill a vacancy on the Cathlamet Town Council mistakenly attributed two comments by Jean Burnham to "Waller." The article should have said:

First question: "What do you hope to accomplish?

"--Burnham. I'd like to see a better relationship with Wahkiakum County and Port District 1, a symbiotic relationship and not adversarial so we could add ratepayers and fill empty buildings. In the long term, I'd like to see us be more of a tourist destination. Cathlamet is ideally situated for that."

Second question: "What do you think the job of a council member is?

"--Burnham: I think the council's job is to affirm and re-inforce what direction the mayor decides to go in."

And, to clarify, Paige Lake’s four years’ experience with the downtown core and as downtown association treasurer was for the City of Centralia, not Cathlamet.
