Columbia debates sewer plant options - LancasterOnline
Columbia residents have two choices when it comes to dealing with their aging wastewater treatment plant: refurbish the facility or relocate the sewage.
Two recently suggested designs simply upgrade the old plant, the first major improvement since 1972.
The second option, a proposed bulk services agreement from Lancaster Area Sewer Authority, abandons the old plant and instead builds a pump station and moves sewage to LASA for treatment.

Artist Dale Weibley offers you a glimpse of Jules Verne's "character," the famous Captain Nemo, from another perspective. Jules Verne immortalized Captain Nemo in several of his novels as the scientific genius behind and the Captain of the "Nautilus" submarine. Could Captain Nemo's scientific genius come from beyond the stars? Open your mind and your eyes to the possibility! Come see "NEMO'S ARRIVAL" from beyond the stars in Dale Weibley's original 2012 Pen & Ink in Black and White, and now in 2013 he introduces Pen & Ink / Polychrome edition. A must to see, a must to own! **************************************************************************************************************************************** Start, end or stay with us at Jonal Gallery/Alverta Arts Shop during this River Towns Fourth Friday celebration!

What I Saw - 2/18/13 - Butts, Books, and Cameras
Might be time to kick the habit.
(Pile of butts along Second Street)
Whoever delivered the phone books was undeterred even by CONDEMNED signs here . . .
and here.
Some people never picked theirs up.
(Who knows if this Locust Street property is even occupied.)
Here's another unclaimed book on Locust Street.
And another.
Here's one on the 200 block of Walnut.
It was delivered even though these notices are posted on the property.
And finally, another camera.
This one was on Commerce Street, at the lower end of Rotary Park.
(I hadn't seen this one before.)

Columbia OKs preliminary school budget for 2013-14 - LancasterOnline.com
Columbia Borough School District officials passed a preliminary budget Thursday at their committee of the whole meeting.
Passing the $21.7 million spending plan in February was necessary for the district to be eligible for exceptions that would allow it to increase taxes above the 2.5 percent index, board President Tom Strickler said in an interview in January.

Caught in the act!
This morning, just before 10 o'clock, this guy was canvassing Locust Street Park with his metal detector and digging up the ground with his trowel. I don't know how long he'd been there, or how much ground he had already covered. He wasn't even trying to be furtive. He was doing it right out in the open, where he could be seen by . . . anyone.
Here, he can be seen pulling up the dirt.
. . . and here.
Note the size of the trowel. Even state parks that allow metal detecting don't allow anything this wide for digging.
He's obviously disturbed the soil here.
Here, he attempts to put it back in place.
A quick video clip of the action.
And another.
I guess he didn't see the signs.
ALL FOUR OF THEM:
On the Locust Street side, where he was digging,
along Route 462,
at the 6th and Locust entrance,
and inside the park.
