A personal note

By -
I would like to publicly thank Ollie Fritz and Sharon Lintner for passionately defending me at tonight's borough council meeting.  It's great to know you guys have "got my back."

It's always warming to know somebody has your back. Good for you tonight Cole, you certainly deserved it. Wished I would have been there to hear it first hand.

This is a clear case of cyber bullying. Isn't that something teenagers do?

If you did nothing wrong, why did you need defended? And why is it you couldn't speak up for yourself? Why did others do the talking for you? I don't see why this is being dragged on and on. Why not move on? I mean what's with the desperation for an apology? Did you lose your job over this? Are you in jail? Are people stoning you? Egging your house? It's over and done with. It's petty. Grow a set and move on.

The arrogance of this council and some of the borough employees is absolutely shocking.

Somebody's angry.
Council, is this one of yours?

Cole did not speak at the meeting because he did not feel he had any reason to defend himself. I felt differently and chose to speak. We did not solicit anyone else to speak in his defense. Cole has NEVER asked for an apology and it's too late for that now. I will not stand by and allow anyone, especially someone leading this community, to publicly berate my husband. If this recent comment was written by a borough employee, then this proves the derogatory remarks not only continue, but will be tolerated.

Easy for those hiding at their keyboard to tell Cole to move on and get over it after they turn the borough against him.

Not so much shocking as "expected."

Columbians are good at cyber bullying! Obviously you don't visit enough social media outlets because it happens all of the time. It happens right on this site too.

I agree Sharon, nobody should be berated publicly, especially when it is warranted. But it also happens on this site at times and it is tolerated.

I'm on your side on this one Cole because I feel she was wrong and not justified in what she said. I saw nothing wrong with what you posted about the accident and agree with your perspective and opinions on how you were treated at the scene by the authorities who overstepped their authority. I don't take sides based on who the person is but rather who I feel is right.

Columbia's decision to ban former employee from its property may be 'unconstitutional' [Lancaster Watchdog]

By Columbia Spy -
Image
Chris Vera [Columbia Spy file photo] The following information is excerpted from a December 6, 2025 LNP Watchdog article by LNP | LancasterOnline reporter Jade Campos. Still reeling from an abrupt firing from his role as head of the Columbia Market House in March, Chris Vera was surprised to get a letter in the mail from a Columbia Borough attorney two weeks later telling him he was banned indefinitely from borough property. The letter gave no reason for the ban. Nine months later, Vera, who has served as president of the Columbia Historic Preservation Society for more than a decade and has helped with the borough’s comprehensive plan, is still banned from borough property. He believes the ban includes borough parks, which is part of the reason he moved his annual Albatwitch Day festival, which celebrates the myth of a local cryptid, to Wrightsville. Vera said he’s not sure why the borough went to such lengths to keep him away from public spaces given his termination from the borough s...

NATHAN WILLISON | LNP Staff Writer An East Donegal Township man is facing criminal charges after police say he struck a 13-year-old with his truck and fled the scene last month.  Derek Scott Mohr, 28, is charged with causing an accident involving death or injury without a license, failing to stop to render aid, driving at an unsafe speed and related charges.  Mohr had been driving a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado through Chestnut Street in Columbia around 8 p.m. March 20 when he struck a 13-year-old boy riding a motorized scooter and continued driving, according to charging documents filed by police.  When police arrived, they found the boy with a broken leg and a cut to his forehead. His scooter was lying nearby, its handlebars completely snapped off.  Another teenager who witnessed what happened described the truck to police and said that the driver made no attempt to stop after striking the boy. Surveillance footage collected from the area shows the truck striking the b...

Mayor Lutz must accept responsibility

By Columbia Spy -

  GUEST COMMENTARY [Name withheld by request out of fear of retaliation] For two decades, Leo Lutz has occupied the mayor's office in Columbia, and his supporters are quick to credit him with every positive development in our borough, but leadership is a two-way street. If Mayor Lutz is going to accept praise for Columbia's successes, many of which, frankly, he had little direct involvement in, then he must also be held accountable for our failures. The facts paint a troubling picture. Despite the mayor's repeated assurances that our streets are safe, we've witnessed a disturbing rise in assaults, shootings, and vandalism. His promises have fallen by the wayside: the foot patrol we were promised never materialized, nor did the bike patrol that was supposed to increase our sense of security. Fiscally, the situation is equally dire. Taxes have increased at least twice during Mayor Lutz's tenure, yet the borough now finds itself millions of dollars in debt. This isn...
