[LNP | LancasterOnline] Despite low numbers, Columbia is still thinking big for football success in 2024

It's a numbers game at Columbia, which is an all-too-familiar topic when you're chatting about Crimson Tide football.

Columbia finished last season at 2-8 overall, and the Tide suited up just 16 kids for their Week 10 finale against Hamburg.

They'll have more than 16 kids this time around, but probably only somewhere south of 30.

That's always a sticky wicket. Not only for games, but for practice.

"We have some lower numbers, and we know that," Columbia sophomore QB Cameron McClair said. "But we still have to play and we have to put up a fight and play strong, physical football. We're going to be the underdogs, but that makes us want to prove that we can play with the best teams in the section."

The Section Five chase should be crowded once again. Can Columbia wedge its way into the lead pack? That remains to be seen, as the Tide set sail on what they hope is a season where they keep throwing roundhouses and gain everyone's respect — even without an overflowing roster.

[LNP | LancasterOnline] Factory, farm workers in Lancaster County confront heat stress [photos]

Waldemar Camps has seen the temperature spike to 130 degrees inside the Anvil International foundry in Columbia where he works as a molding operator.

"We wear protective clothing, helmets and shields to protect the face. When you have to deal with the high temperature inside the plant, combined with the really hot weather conditions outside, it's suffocating," said Camps, who has worked at the site for three years and was recently elected the union vice president.

Anvil International provides a nurse to deal with emergency situations during heat advisories, stocks electrolyte-infused drinks and allows employees to have a drink every 20 minutes, Camps said.

"Workers keep an eye on one another to make sure everyone is OK and to prevent injuries," Camps said. "Supervisors come around to do checks."

More ventilation, cooling areas and a rotation schedule for workers would improve safety, Camps said.

"It is understood that work must be done," Camps said, "and production must continue, but that must happen without endangering the health of employees."

ASC Engineered Solutions, Anvil International's parent company, did not return a request for comment.

CANCELED!

Vehicle into river: More information

This photo was circulated on social media. Photographer unknown. 

Manor Township emergency personnel and others received a call at 8:22 p.m. regarding a vehicle in the river in Windsor Township. Officers discovered a 2021 BMW X5 submerged in the water. The driver had driven down a public ramp near Lock 2 and ended up in the river on the York County side. 

The vehicle was towed from the river. Police believe alcohol might have been a factor. No injuries were reported.

Manor Township extends all the way across the river to the shoreline, so crews from there - and York County - responded. (All municipalities in Lancaster County go all the way to the shoreline of York County.)
