Columbia Borough has determined that, in the interest of safety, it is necessary to correct and adjust the traffic flow at the following street(s):

Please be advised that North Tenth Street, between Ironville Pike and Spruce Street will no longer be a two-way street due to poor sight distance and difficulty turning onto Ironville Pike.

Susquehanna Heritage to feature free "Stars Over the Susquehanna" astronomy program

Columbia and Wrightsville, PA – Join Susquehanna Heritage for "Stars Over the Susquehanna" on April 20th for an evening of stargazing and exploring the night sky while celebrating The National Park Service’s Monthly Theme for April: Find Your Park After Dark – Starry Skies.

Beginning at 7:30 p.m. at Columbia Crossing River Trails Center, we will be joined by the Astronomy Enthusiasts of Lancaster County (AELC) for a public star watch party and presentation. Have you ever wondered how many stars there are or where they came from? How about black holes and galaxies? Join us for an informative, science-based discussion of these topics and more starting with a presentation inside Columbia Crossing at 8 p.m. followed by viewing through telescopes outside, weather permitting. The telescopes will show a variety of celestial objects such as the Pleiades star cluster and the Orion nebula. AELC will also be pointing out various constellations and discussing how to navigate the sky using smart phones.

Across the river at the Zimmerman Center for Heritage, from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., learn how early explorers like Captain John Smith navigated by using the stars, and create a navigation tool similar to those that early explorers used.

Both sites are FREE and open to all ages. Have a fun evening exploring the night sky with your friends and neighbors at two scenic spots along the Susquehanna River. Visit both sites for an out of this world experience!

Columbia Crossing is located at 41 Walnut Street, Columbia, PA 17512. The Zimmerman Center for Heritage is located at 1706 Long Level Road, Wrightsville, PA 17368. Both sites are managed by Susquehanna Heritage.

Howard accepts plea deal, faces 6-12 years for attack on Columbia man

Randy Howard is escorted into District Judge Miles Bixler's office this afternoon for a preliminary hearing. Howard is charged in connection with an assault on a Columbia man last September.

Randy Howard accepted a plea deal of 6 to 12 years at a preliminary hearing at District Judge Miles Bixler’s office in Columbia today. The deal allows Howard to avoid a trial. He will be sentenced at a formal arraignment later this month. Howard could have faced 10 to 20 years if he had not accepted the deal, which was offered by Assistant District Attorney Andrew Gonzalez. Howard still has the option to reject the deal before sentencing.

Howard is charged with aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy in connection with the September 3, 2017 wolfpack attack on a Columbia man on the 600 block of Walnut Street. He was apprehended in Columbia on March 15 by Columbia Borough and West Hempfield Township police. Shakim McIlwain was convicted last month for his part in the attack.

Howard will also do time for a parole violation stemming from a previous crime, to be served consecutively.

Starview Brews to set up shop in Columbia this fall

Columbia developer Cimarron Properties announces that Starview Brews has leased part of their property at 224 Locust Street in historic downtown Columbia, which also houses the Susquehanna Center for the Creative Arts.

Scheduled to open in late fall of 2018, Starview Brews was founded by longtime brewer Mike Knaub of York, PA. Mike’s passion for brewing great beer dates back over 25 years. His specialty is handcrafted European Lagers. Mike is also a BJCP Certified Judge.

Starview Brews will offer lite fare and specialty foods along with Mike’s signature house beef jerky. The new brewery operation will include a convivial taproom and several areas for patrons to relax and experience great beer and enjoy the amazing atmosphere.

“We are thrilled to welcome Starview Brews to this beautiful historic building. Starview Brews is an exciting venture and will be another key part of the revitalization of downtown Columbia”, says Don Murphy, President of Cimarron Properties. Cimarron renovated the old tobacco warehouse building in 2014 and received an award from the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County for its restoration.

With the Susquehanna River and nearby towns, Marietta and Wrightsville in close proximity, the Starview Brewery will be themed around the rich history of the local area. Just a short distance from the Columbia Crossing and River Park, visitors to the river and Northwest Lancaster County River Trail will find another great destination to unwind after enjoying all that the area has to offer.
