Where's the Borough Manager? - Update

A phone call to the borough office this morning yielded the following results:
A request to speak to Sam Sulkosky was answered by a phone receptionist with a reply that he was not in but a message could be left on his voicemail. When asked when he would be in, the receptionist said, "Probably Monday."

Where's the Borough Manager?

Borough Manager Sam Sulkosky was conspicuously absent from Columbia Borough Council's Meeting of the Whole on Monday night. Columbia resident Frank Doutrich asked Council about his whereabouts but was initially met with stunned silence. Finally, Councillor Mary Barninger said Sulkosky is currently on leave. When Doutrich asked if he was coming back, Barninger replied, "That's yet to be determined." Doutrich pressed for further clarification on rumors about Sulkosky's departure, but Council declined to give specific answers.

What I Saw November 23, 2014

A few shots from around town today . . .

 Weathercock
There's an old Jethro Tull song by that name . . .


 Cairn-like stacks of bricks,
Reminds me of something artist Andy Goldsworthy might have done.

 Stone facing on the pillars of the Visitors Center, similar to - but not the same as - those at the Columbia Plaza.

 Someone spayed creosote on this utility pole on Linden Street.
The problem is they sprayed the already narrow sidewalk, too.
Probably our friends at PPL.

 They're still at it.
Inane graffiti at Locust Street Park.

And a hairline crack on a bench. Could be the beginning of the end for this one, as well.
