Turkey Hill re-opens its remodeled Prospect Road store

The Turkey Hill Minit Markets store at 1199 Prospect Road, Columbia, re-opened its doors Thursday after a renovation and expansion that took more than 12 weeks.

Now 4,500 square feet, the store has an updated décor and broader selection of products.

New offerings include hot pizza, available in 14-inch pies or by the slice,  and an upgraded coffee brewing system.

The cost and other details of the renovation and expansion, which began Dec. 1, were not immediately available.

Open 24 hours a day, the Prospect Road store employs 25 people.

Turkey Hill will hold a grand re-opening for the store on Friday, March 14, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Lancaster-based Turkey Hill has 61 convenience stores in Lancaster County. The first opened in 1967.

Columbia K-9 program 'on hold' amid heated conflict; Mayor Lutz on the hot seat

Columbia Borough Mayor Leo Lutz said Monday the plan to have a new K-9 officer and handler in place by spring is "on hold."

His statement prompted outbursts from members of both council and the Columbia K-9 Committee, a nonprofit organization that defrays the cost of the borough's K-9 officer.

Mike Beury, council president, told Lutz that it was time to "tell the truth."

Lutz said the reason for the decision was personal, and based on Keyser's concern about having a dog trained to bite in his home.

Council vice president Barry Ford said that he spoke with Keyser last week, and that the mayor's statement about the reason for the officer's decision was incorrect.

Under heated questions from council and residents alike about the timing of communications and the way in which decisions were being made, Lutz appeared to lose his temper, countering that the K-9 program is a police program and, therefore, not officially the business of the council.

Council member Jim Smith said that Lutz had "drawn a line in the sand. I always felt you felt we don't exist."
