The Columbia Borough School Board will hold its regular monthly meeting at 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 20, at the District Administration Building, 200 N. 5th Street.
At last month's meeting, several residents voiced concerns to the board about ongoing bullying during and after school. One resident also touched on the topic of political scheming among board members. A few of the residents who addressed the bullying problem are shown below:
Jim Johnson: "If you don't care about our children, Columbia has no future."
Bruce Murray: "We gotta start protecting our kids."
Randy Fletcher: "I don't know who you got running that school, but it's the wrong person in charge."
Jackie Shive: "Please discipline these bullies."

Street Invasion Purge Meet draws crowd Saturday night
The smell of burning rubber saturated the air around the AutoZone parking lot along Columbia Avenue as clouds of smoke drifted overhead. About 100 people with over three dozen vehicles, including cars, trucks, and bikes, converged on the lot Saturday night. The Street Invasion Purge Meet featured revving and burnouts, most in the nearby McDonald's parking lot. Squealing tires and roaring engines dominated the night for over an hour as drivers were urged on by spectators who recorded the action with cellphones. At one point a female employee of McDonald's approached the motorists and shouted at them to leave. Although the crowd was high-spirited, no fighting or vandalism occurred.
Shortly after 9 p.m., a line of vehicles abruptly left the lot in anticipation of police arriving. After the mass exodus, two police cruisers – one each from West Hempfield and Columbia - appeared after most of the participants had left.
