Correction on library sign donation A series of sign photos in last week’s Columbia Press included an error. The wooden sign for War- renton Community Library was donated by Blaine Gun- kel, a chainsaw carver from Ocean Park, Wash. Library Director Kelly Knudsen’s husband, Eric, asked Gun- kel if he could come up with a sturdier sign marker after seeing the library’s canvas sign hanging sideways.
