CANCELED!

Manor Township emergency personnel (and others) received a call at 8:22 p.m. regarding a vehicle in the river in Windsor Township. Officers discovered a 2021 BMW X5 submerged in the water. The driver had driven down a public ramp near Lock 2 and ended up in the river on the York County side.
The vehicle was towed from the river. Police believe alcohol might have been a factor. No injuries were reported.
Manor Township extends all the way across the river to the shoreline, so crews from there – and York County – responded. (All municipalities in Lancaster County go all the way to the shoreline of York County.)

The Columbia Water Company (CWC) is applying to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to authorize a Tank Painting Project involving painting and miscellaneous repairs for three above ground water tanks in the CWC system: Columbia Tank, Columbia, PA, 17512; Manor/Mountville Tank, Mountville, PA, 17554; and Coffee Goss Tank, Marietta, PA, 17547. This project is being considered for an environmental review categorical exclusion. There will be no impacts to user fees as a result of this project. Project documents are available for review at Columbia Water Company, 220 Locust Street, Columbia, PA, 17512. Public comments must be submitted in writing within 30 days of the date of this publication and directed to: dlewis@columbiawater.net or David T. Lewis, P.E., President and General Manager, Columbia Water Company, P.O. Box 350, Columbia, PA, 17512.

CBFD 80 and other departments responded to an incident at a garage in the 400 block of Avenue G Tuesday evening (7/30/24) just before 8 o’clock. Smoke emanated from the roof, but no flames were visible. A firefighter ventilated the roof, and others eventually removed the garage door to investigate inside. No official word on the cause has been released yet.






Tiffany Hall, a self-described single mother of four young kids, blasted the Biden administration’s “disastrous liberal policies” for leaving the working class behind.
Hall, a school paraprofessional from Columbia, attacked Democrats’ education policies. “Biden and Kamala Harris feel the government knows better than parents. Being an educator and a parent, I strongly disagree,” she said.
Last year, Hall ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the board of the Columbia Borough School District.
