Where's the Sunday News?

By -
None of the vending dispensers around town contained any copies of the Sunday News this morning, as of about 10 a.m., although some contained last Thursday's paper. Stover's and the Minit Market on the highway had stacks of the Sunday News. So why not these street corner racks? 
(Phone calls to the circulation department yielded no answers, just recordings.)

I thought that LNP became so great now with all the changes. Don't they have a slogan something like "always Lancaster" maybe that is quite true and no longer includes Columbia.

Could be, which would be ironic since the first newspaper vending machine in the US was used here in Columbia.

I saw an elderly woman from saint peter's apartments looking to get a paper at the dispenser, of course she left empty handed.
I wonder what happened.

If something happened to Sunday's delivery ok, but then how does that explain there being papers in a couple of the dispensers since last Thursday? Seems like no one was around to fill them for a few days.

I called about this on Monday and was transferred to the circulation department and the person speaking knew nothing about the problem. I get the feeling LNP is going to be a half #*! operation, especially since they moved the printing portion to another area.

With the pathetic reporting that goes on in that news paper who give a flyin rats a#s if the vending machine is empty. They should just give up and call it a day. Never report anything good in columbia anyway . Just the police logs and who stole what from who and what junkie overdosed and when. When it comes to lancaster county columbia is considered a hell hole unto itself. Support columbia by not buying that trash paper to begin with. Good investment if ya need to start a fire in your wood stove....

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...
