There are two resignations of note in Columbia.
Columbia Talk has learned that Brian Long, the newly appointed market manager has resigned. Also, rookie Columbia softball coach Brad Brubaker has also resigned.
Details to follow
I disagree completely regarding Sears returning as market manager, she was fired for a reason and the boro moved on and chose to hire someone new. Sears and her sons Mark Vera and Chris Vera have had a great hand in negativity surrounding Brian Long ever since he started his position as market manager. Mark who is a stand holder has been encouraging other stand holders to leave the market and set up in the supposed new market that would be run by his mother, Sears. Chris Vera who is a member of the local historical society has been defaming and bad mouthing Long to whom ever will listen to him and would not deal with the Market House any longer for future events such as the upcoming train show. This event drew a wonderful crowd to the market house and the event was well received. This year it has been relocated to one of the local firehouses since Chris Vera indicated that he would not work with Long and "those boro people." I have watched this negativity swarm around the market house and throughout the town not only relating to Long, but basically to anyone that is new or comes into the picture with a fresh view and ideas. If Sears in fact over stepped her boundaries it is time to deal with her approach once and for all and a decision needs to be made about her position on council. I feel very strongly that we just lost someone that was an asset to the Market House and to the community. I think it should be public knowledge what the circumstances were that caused Long to step down, the community has a right to know this information, Sears is an elected council member and she should be held accountable for her actions whether positive or negative. Enough is enough.
I still can't say that I know the reason why she was fired as the market manager, was a reason ever given? If it was for a valid reason that should be taken into consideration here.
Don't the residents of this town attend committee or council meetings? Please start attending if you are going to post on Barry's blog. It was stated last year why she was fired. She was not taking direction from the committee, she was not collecting full rent money and she was bartering services in exchange for rent discounts, which she did not have the authority to do.
the committee failed twice - no thid chances - Council needs to step up to the plate and hire a real manager and the Committee needs to go door to door and hand out coupons under the direction of the market manager

Thank you for the clarification, I am a new resident and working in York.
well then maybe the committee should run the market if they want to give so much direction
