In Sunday's story highlighting the long mayoral career of East Cape Girardeau's Joe Aden, it should have read that Al Blumenberg is the current mayor.
Aden served 32 years as mayor of the village of East Cape Girardeau, which celebrated Joe Aden Day on Saturday. "I've had plenty of phone calls all day asking if I was still mayor," Aden said Monday after the story was printed.
Blumenberg was elected in April. He said East Cape Girardeau has installed new sewer pumps, fixed a road and spruced up the park since he has been in office.
