New council member is
By a 5-1 vote, Jim Smith, former owner of Smith's Hotel was selected as the newest member of Columbia Borough Council tonight.
Council President Mary Wickenheiser voted against Smith's appointment, who will serve as a replacement for Anna Gerlitzki, who resigned last month.
With his appointment, Smith was forced to resign from the Civil Service Commission, which he held for more than 30 years.
As I said last week as much as it would have been nice to serve on Borough Council, it is not the end of the world. The sun will (okay might) come up tomorrow and life goes on. Yes, I will run for election next year.
Again, what I didn't like was some of the back door stuff that was going on with this appointment, which borough council apparently knew about. Learned today, that the other candidate for the position, Carmen Swinehart, was asked to drop out as late as tonight again and also offered $1,000 to do so.
I also question that if this was suppose to be debated on at a public meeting, and I was not the only one thinking this way, why was there no debate? And why did the new council member already have a name plate.
Again, there are no sour grapes, but something just isn't right with the way this went down.

Tide is fifth
Here is a link to the updated District 3 Class A power ratings: http://district3.piaa.org/football/2010/WK6-A.pdf
Rally falls short
It was the end of the half, Northern Lebanon had just stopped a potential Columbia scoring drive.
Would the Vikings and rookie coach Roy Wall -- take a knee and go into the break with a 14-7 lead; go for the "Hail Mary" in an attempt to take a bigger lead; or run a quarterback keeper and run out the clock.
Well, Northern Lebanon took option number three -- a quarterback keeper by quarterback Tanner Dresch.
Not only did the Vikings choose a safe option, but they ran out the clock as Dresch sprinted 63 yards, basically untouched for a score to give the Vikes a 20-7 lead at the half.
That score was the difference in the gae as NL hung on for a 20-15 win over the Crimson Tide.
In fact Dresch was a one an wrecking crew against the Tide Friday night in Fredericksburg. He rushed for 191 yards and two scores. He also completed three of four passes for another score.
Dresch, who finished the night with 191 of the 340 yards that Northern Lebanon rushed for, scored on touchdown runs of 75 and 63 yards. It was the 63-yard sprint on the final play of the first half that broke the Tide’s back.
Columbia had just moved to the Viking 37 where a fourth down pass fell incomplete. At the time, NL led the game 14-7 and two things could have happened on the last second play. Many expected the Vikings to take a knee and head into the locker room. Or, have Dresch drop back and fire a “Hail Mary.” Instead, Dresch on a keeper and went up through the middle of the Tide line and once he got past the linebackers, it was all over.
That late score gave the Vikings a 20-7 lead and ended up being the difference in the game.
NL had a chance to score before they actually found the end zone.
Late in the first quarter, the Vikings moved to the Tide 16 where Dresch coughed up the football.
On their next offensive possession, the Vikings did score.
Dresch raced 75 yards, basically untouched to give the Vikes a 7-0 lead with 10:43 left in the first half.
But back came the Tide. Quarterback Tyler Harrison was huge, going 4-for-4 on the drive, completing passes to Keenan Edmond and Michael Burke, before finding Seth Lefever for a 19-yard score. With 7:40 left in the first half, the game was tied at 7-7.
Columbia averted disaster on the Vikes next possession. Ryan Daub found daylight for a 59-yard run, which would have been a score, but the Vikings were called for a hold, negating the score.
But not the drive. Nine plays later, the Vikes found the end zone again as Dresch went up top and found Colton Ryan for a 17-yard score to give NL a 14-7 lead with 2:49 left in the first half.
Again, the Tide came back. Harrison completed passes to Burke, Lefever and Nick Nobile to nove the ball to the Viking 30. But on second down, Harrison was sacked and two pass incompletions later, it looked like the half would end with the Tide trailing 14-7.
It wasn’t so.
On their second possession of the second half, the Vikings moved in for the kill. Ryan fumbled at the Tide 16, but two plays later, the Tide gave it right back as Harrison was picked off.
But the Vikings couldn’t score off the turnover and later in the fourth quarter picked Harrison again, but didn’t convert.
They put the Tide in a big hole with about seven minutes left. The Vikes punted but Burke alertly fielded the ball at the 2 and almost broke one for a score, getting tackled at the Viking 46. With new life, the Tide failed to score.
Now on defense, the Tide cae up big again. They stopped the Vikes at the Tide 26 on fourth down.
With time running out, Columbia needed to make something on offense. They moved to the Viking 36 and were faced with a second down. Harrison went up top for Edmond, but NL was called for pass interference and also a personal foul, giving the Tide the ball at the NL 12.
Three plays later, Harrison and Lefever combined for their second score of the game and then the Tide QB hit Burke for the two-point conversion. It was 20-15 with about 60 seconds left.
For a miracle finish, all Columbia needed to do was recover the onsides kick. Following a scramble near midfield, the Vikes came up with the ball and ran out the clock.
Would the Vikings and rookie coach Roy Wall -- take a knee and go into the break with a 14-7 lead; go for the "Hail Mary" in an attempt to take a bigger lead; or run a quarterback keeper and run out the clock.

Week six notebook
This is one that if you are a serious follower of Columbia High School athletics as a player, coach, fan or myself you tend to believe.
Columbia had a day off school on Friday. It got the players out of their normal routine and it showed early as the Tide struggled for the first half, giving up 20 points, including a score on the final play of the first half.
Once the Tide got back to to playing "Columbia Football," things were much better.
So, when was the last time Columbia won a game in say football or basketball when they played on a day they didn't have school? They are tough to remember.
Looking at the first six games
Last season, the Tide stood at 0-6 after six games. Of those six games, three ended in mercy rule losses and in two others, the Tide gave up 40 plus points. This season, the Tide stands at 2-4 overall. Of their four losses, only one Daniel Boone was a real blow out. The Tide lost to Northeastern by six; NL by five and Boiling Springs by 15. Columbia was in all four of those losses, including the Boone game, when they were stopped at the Boone 5, trailing 14-13. By the time Columbia scored again, they trailed by three scores.
Two straight
For the second time this season, or the first time since the opener against Eastern, the Tide made two consecutive PATs. Seth Lefever easily made the first PAT and the second PAT was a two-point conversion from Tyler Harrison to Michael Burke.
Steaks
Columbia has now lost three straight games to Northern Lebanon. Friday, the Tide will be out to stop a two-game losing streak to Annville-Cleona. The Dutchmen, who were knocked off by Donegal on Friday, beat the Tide 21-14 last year and 35-0 in 2008.

Authority to meet
The Columbia Municipal Authority and borough council are expected to meet Thursday, Oct. 21 at 6 p.m. to discuss a bond issue for the funding of a new sewer treatment plant and additional bond funding to build a marina building at the River Park and repair streets and bridges in town.
The meeting was discussed at length during Wednesday's special council meeting and it looks as though the second bond issue could cost taxpayers at least a mill of property taxes.

It's not the end of the world!
I haven't posted anything since Wednesday.
There are a couple of reasons. One, when I got home from Wednesday's council interview meeting, I got caught up in the Doctober celebration dealing with Roy Halladay's no-hitter. Thursday was a long day. I had to go to a funeral of a friend/relative's mother and on my way around town trying to come home, I got stopped quite a few times asking me about Wednesday's meeting, then had to go to a junior high football game, which Columbia won in the last minute over Elco.
When I got home, there were some more phone calls, etc. and other stuff.
Friday, I had to call a couple of friends to check on them or just say "hi," then it was off to Northern Lebanon for a football game.
Here are my thoughts on Wednesday's meeting. I enjoyed speaking and listening to the other two candidates -- Carmen Swinehart and James Smith.
I do think I have a lot to offer the borough and hope to get the opportunity to serve. But it is not a life and death situation for me. The sun will come up tomorrow and I'll put my leg on tomorrow just like I have each day. It would be nice and a great honor to serve the 10,300 residents. What I do not like is the back door issues that myself and two other candidates have been subject too. If it is that important, why not run for election previously or not wait until the last day to put your name in?
Someone asked me either yesterday or today why I didn't use this space to promote my beliefs. That's not the way I wanted to do it. Maybe, I should have, but I didn't. My bad!
Columbia is a town of 10,300 people, not one million.We are a small town, not Philly, New York or Chicago where this type back door politics is common place. My agenda is simple -- do what is best for the town -- not one person, one group or a business. Yes, I have some ideas, but they in the best interests of our town. And in due time, people will find out what they are whether it be while I am a proud member of Columbia Borough Council, or, just posting the thoughts on here.

Crimson Tide notebook, week 5
Referee Dennis Bachman was knocked out the game with about two minutes left. He was knocked to the ground after being hit by Tide linebacker Bryan Flory. Bachman, an official for 36 years, of Columbia, suffered a broken rib and a bruised kidney and lung.
Big game for 4
A number of players played well for the Tide. The standout was Michael Burke, who caught five passes for 88 yards, rushed for 28 yards and scored twice on offense. Defensively, he had two sacks and a pick.
100 yard effort
Junior Keenan Edmond became the second CHS running back to rush for more than 100 yards this season, joining Brock Taylor in the century club. Edmond, playing his first game of the season due to disciplinary reasons, finished the game with 114 yards and two scores.
Streak ends
The win over Elco was the Tide's first over the Raiders since 2007.
Sunday notebook
After a busy Saturday of people watching at the Bridge Bust, here are some thoughts.
The weather was perfect for the Bridge Bust and probably set a record for attendance. It took me about two and a half hours on the scooter to get over and back on the bridge. People were still paying to get on the bridge up until the time the Bridge Bust ended.
*****
One of the things I noticed on Saturday was the presence of the fire police for the first time in about two years. Following the passing of their chief, John Murphy, earlier this year, they have reorganized. Steve Henry Sr. is the new chief and they will be working toward getting back to doing traffic control at events. They are expected to ratify their changes at their meeting this month and be re-certified by borough council at their next meeting.

Tide wins league opener
It's been a while since Columbia dominated a football game on both sides of the football.
One might have to go back to the 2007 season when the Tide put up 66 points in a 66-0 win over Pequea Valley. That was 25 games ago.
Friday nught the Crimson Tide celebrated Homecoming with a 26-6 Section 3 opener win over Elco.
The Tide is now 1-0 in Section 3 and 2-3 overall heading into Friday's game at Northern Lebanon.
Defensively, a sign that it was going to be a good night for the Tide came on Elco's first offensive play of the game. Tide LB Seth Lefever crushed Elco receiver Eric Ondo for a 4-yard loss.
The Raiders finished the first half with seven yards on the ground and just 30 through the air. They also had just one first touchdown.
The success continued on the first offensive series for the Tide.
On their opening possession of the game, the Tide used five different backs and a couple of completed passes by quarterback Tyler Harrison to move 68 yards in 15 plays, scoring on a 1-yard run by Keenan Edmond with 4:33 left in the first quarter. On the drive, Edmond, Harrison, DJ Wells, Brock Taylor and Johnny Vazquez carried the pigskin. Harrison’s two pass completions on the drive were to Wells and Michael Burke.
Elco then went three and out on their first possession.
The two teams exchanged a couple of punts before the Tide started at their own 20. The running back by committee effort continued as the Tide moved to the Rader 24. But Harrison was picked off at the one on second down, ending the threat and the half.
Elco finally got something going on their second possession of the second half. Behind the running of Dylan Hickernell and Cameron Strausse, the Raiders moved in for the game-tying score, which edned at the Tide 26 when quarterback Tyler George was stopped just short of a first down on a fourth down scamper by Burke.
But the Tide quickly gave the ball back to the Raiders.
This time, Elco cashed in. On the last play of the third quarter, George and Ondo combined for a 20-yard score to deadlock the game. On the PAT, Elco was called for illegal procedure, moving the ball back five yards. It hurt Elco as Austin Lawrence shanked the PAT and the game would remained tied.
But on this night, a day after rains soaked the Columbia area, “High Tide” was about to roll in.
Starting at their own 27, Columbia went to work to take control of the game. Behind the running of Edmond and Vazquez and a Harrison pass completion to Lefever, the Tide had the ball at the 18. On fourth down, Burke took a handoff on a reverse from Harrison, converted the first down and more, scoring with 9:23 left in the game. At that point, Columbia led 12-6.
After forcing Elco to punt, Columbia needed just four plays to score. Harrison went up top and found Burke wide open behind the Elco secondary froa 44-yard score. This time, the Tide converted the two-point score as Harrison played pitch and catch with Lefever to give the Tide a 20-6 lead.
Columbia then turned up the defensive pressure. Kevin Simms had a sack and there were a couple of tipped passes by Taylor and Burke and the Tide got the ball back near midfield. And it was game over, turn out the lights as two plays after stopping Elco, Edmond sprinted 49 yards for a score and the Tide finished off the scoring with a 26-6 win.
Burke ended Elco’s night with a pick of George with 1:06 left in the game.
