National Night Out, except here
Columbia? They haven't had a National Night Out celebration since John George served as police chief. As I remember it, there were a couple of block parties and a number of people sitting out on their front porches. It was a good public relations tool for our police department and something that was well received.
Code Enforcement issues
One of the major topics of discussion at last night's town meeting, which we will do again in September, was Columbia's code enforcement.
We have heard time and time again how the borough's Code Enforcement employees are over worked -- more than 1,300 complaints. So the council hires two part-time code people to go with the current full-time person and one part-time person. In addition, the borough changes its ordinances concerning outsourcing inspections for buildings, etc.
During the discussion last night, how the borough enforces its codes were discussed.
The bottom line is that residents want to see code enforcement, not selective code enforcement but consistent code enforcement. In other words, treat everyone the same and not pick on different groups or individuals.
Also discussed was the need for the borough to clean up its own house when it comes to weeds and trash.

For the next three days
The comments without names have been for the most good, but some, well, haven't been published, But until Thursday, I'm not going to be posting posts without a name or initials. Just want to see if people are willing to put their name on something they are writing.
No, no public official has threatened me or anyone is taking legal action. Just want to possibly put a face or identification/name to the post.
Where is says "comment as" post a name in that location.

Ideas were discussed
About 18 people attended tonight's Town Meeting at Glatfelter Field.
There were regular citizens, market standholders, school board members, business leaders and former members of borough council.
Disucssion centered on Code Enforcement in the borough and the lack of enforcement. Other ideas discussed were trying to bring all of the groups in the community together to work for the betterment of Columbia. Other items were Columbia's image and getting more people involved and how to promote the events and good things within our community.
There was a little discussion on the market house and the need for the borough to get projects done such as the replacement of the street trees and street lights in the dowtown.
Also, note was made of the pending release at the end of September of the Columbia Economic Strategic Plan, which is a documment in the works for more than a year, which will guide Columbia's future.
A second meeting will be held in September.

On the Market Manager
Talked with Brian Long today. He was at the market, trying to make it better, but won't comment on what happened earlier this week. I sensed the situation is not good and still feel that if a borough council member overstepped their bounds or a borough management employee did something, they need to be reprimanded, fired or asked to resign.

Wednesday's wisdom
When I wrote for the COLUMBIA LEDGER, one of my duties was writing a weekly editorial giving the paper's thoughts on what is going on in the community. Sometimes I wrote a weekly editorial column as well, with my views on activities and people.
I've done it from time to time on this venue as well. Lately I feel as though I could do an editorial every day or twice a day because there is so much going on in our town.
So, do I feel that Columbia residents are getting their biggest bang for its buck in terms of how borough is run? No. Does it have to change? Yes. Will it change? I hope so.
I, like others are not keen on how our council meetings are being run. I know there are council members who feel the same way, but, they are in the minority when it comes to make change. We have some "dead weight" on council and perhaps in the best interest of our borough, they should resign but they won't. I think the council members who want to make changes need to speak up.
When I got home last night, I had word on the resignation of Brian Long as market manager and Brad Brubaker as Columbia softball coach.
What I was told about Long's resignation is most likely being discussed tonight at council's personnel committee meeting. What I don't like is how it came down and if a council member was behind this, this person overstepped her bounds by not going to management first and is not acting in the best interests of Columbia or council and is still holding a grudge about getting fired from the position.
This is the same person involved with the rumors of a second market opening down town.
Does it sound like this council member is working in the best interests of Columbia? No and this person should either resign or be removed from council by council for this latest action. Will this happen? Probably not. Should it happen? Yes!
As far as the vote on moving the River Park baptism, I knew back in June, this one was going to comeback and haunt council. It did and it shouldn't have taken a rocket scientist to figure out why. It's a shame, this had to happen and probably won't long be forgotten.
And finally, like many I was very apprehensive about if the Turkey Hill Experience would ever become a reality. Today, the process of developing the Turkey Hill Experience started and hopefully will work for the betterment of Columbia.
Yes, it was a big day for our town and I hope between now and the opening of the facility next year, a solid plan, as Bill Roberts said today, is developed to get people from point A to point B. If that doesn't happen, it won't work, but let's give it a try.

Monday's meeting is a go
COLUMBIA TALK will host a town meeting on Monday night, Aug. 2 at 6:30 p.m. under the big pavilion at Glatfleter Field. (RAIN OR SHINE)
Come with ideas with a vision for the future of Columbia Borough. Ideas that can be presented to our borough leaders.
COLUMBIA TALK have been reading the many comments posted on this site and have an idea of what needs to be done. Sure, there will be some complaining about issues, but if we all work together, with one goal in mind, our entire community, we can make things better.
We have a proud town of around 10,000 people and we need to draw on our pride and our sense of community to do that. COLUMBIA TALK isn't looking for single agenda people or one issue people to help, we have to work together in what is the best interest of the community. If we have to start small, let's do it. We will not form a vigilante group, which has been suggested because that won't get things done. Working together will.
Also, someone has suggested inviting members of the council and school board. They read COLUMBIA TALK and shouldn't need a special invitation if they want to be there.
I'm looking at more suggestions as to what to talk about, but here are a few -- how to run for office, what is needed to run for office, borough council, code enforcement, borough projects and how to make officials become accountable.
If you can't be there and have questions or concerns, let me know and it can be discussed.

Turkey Hill returning to its roots
Some 75 years ago, Turkey Hill Dairy got a small start by delivering milk here in Columbia.
Now, the fourth largest ice cream maker and largest ice tea maker in the United States is returning to its roots.
Welcome to the Turkey Hill Experience, an interactive museum, being built in Columbia at Third and Linden streets.
Around 100 people gathered at the site of the $11 plus million project for the kickoff for construction. The Turkey Hill Experience is expected to be completed in April of next year.
Quentin Frey is the president of Turkey Hill Dairy. They have invested $6 million to the project.
"This is a momentous time for our company and for Columbia," said Frey. "This is the beginning of an exciting times for all of us and will lead to the revitalization of the area and promote tourism."
"This is a very exciting day for Turkey Hill Dairy, a very exciting day for the borough of Columbia, Lancaster County and the state of Pennsylvania," said John Cox, also of Turkey Hill Dairy.
"This day seemed to be slow in coming but with vision, persistence and cooperation helped clear all the obstacles," Cox said.
Cox said between 40 and 50 jobs will be created and its expected more than 250,000 people will visit the attraction yearly.
"Some said this would never happen. This is evidence that we can put to rest that it is going to happen," said Columbia Mayor Leo Lutz.
"This proves purchasing the property was the right decision for the borough," Lutz said.
He thanked a number of people from county and state officials along with borough officials including former councilmen John Collier, who fought for the purchase of the property by Columbia about five years ago.
"This was a gateway for Columbia and it wasn't a good site or a good welcome. We making it a good welcome and gateway to Columbia and Lancaster County," Lutz said.
"We are looking for this project to be the keynote part of the economic revitalization of Columbia," Lutz said.
Jeff Seibert represented the Columbia Economic Development Corporation, who helped broker the deal between the borough and Museum Partners, developer of the site.
"We are here today to celebrate progress and to celebrate the working together for the betterment of all of us," Seibert said.
"Turkey Hill stayed the course on this site when other sites were more attractive," Seibert said.
"In eight months we will have a world class facility that Turkey Hill and Columbia can be proud of," Seibert said. "Columbia Borough has the opportunity to share in the success of this project."
Bill Roberts is president of Museum Partners.
"Without the support of Turkey Hill, this project would be a not be possible," Roberts said.

Softball coach cites family
It was a record setting year for the Columbia girls' softball team in 2010.
They had their first winning season, qualified for the district playoffs for the first time in school history and won a playoff game.
The architect of the success was first-year coach Brad Brubaker.
Brubaker stunned his team last night when he announced he was leaving the program after one season to become head coach at Section 4 rival Lancaster Mennonite. He told CHS Athletic Director Jim Rhoads on Monday. Brubaker told his team after a summer league game ar Garrett Park in Willow Street.
"I was presented with a situation that I felt I needed to act on as a father. Dean Weiant, Lancaster Mennonite's coach for the past four years was left go about three weeks ago. My daughter Madison, who is heading into her sophomore year, plays at LMH. They have been terrible. They were the only team not to win at least one game in 2010 and have lost 19 straight dating back two years," Brubaker said this morning.
"To the point, Madison asked me to help them get better. As a father I need to place her interests at the top of my priority list and do everything I can to help. So I accepted the position as head coach at LMH," Brubaker said.
Assistant coaches Pinky Geraci and Ali Merrifield will join him at LMH.
"It has been my privilege to have coached at Columbia. If I had seen this coming I would never have come to Columbia for just one year. I take with me many great memories from a season where the girls accomplished so much. I urge them to continue with their dedication to the game and pursue the Section 4 championship in 2011 with all their effort," the coach said.
