Cancer keeping 18-year-old East Donegal Township man from firefighting, starting career | Local News | lancasteronline.com
Thanks to a Pennsylvania law passed in January 2023 to increase the number of volunteer firefighters, the age requirement for live burn and interior firefighter training dropped from 18 to 17 years old. Myles Hoffman completed the training and joined the Columbia Borough Fire Department last year, when he was 17 and a senior at Donegal High School.
Myles Hoffman has also recently received some encouraging news in that his latest scans show no signs of cancer in his body. In other words, the chemo drugs are doing their job.
He has endured eight of 12 scheduled rounds of chemo to this point, with the finish line for treatment targeted for mid-November.

Columbia Borough school board dismisses member, proposes budget calendar | Community News | lancasteronline.com
When: Columbia school board committee meeting, Sept. 3.
What happened: The school board voted unanimously to dismiss member Ryan Sexton, citing his absence as the reason for his termination. School board policy dictates a member is eligible for dismissal if they have unexcused absences for at least two consecutive board meetings. Sexton missed six meetings, including three workshops and three full board meetings.
Quotable: "The fact that these recent meetings (Sexton missed) included crucial action plans leading up to the start of the school year shows how important it is for our members to dedicate themselves to their role in our community," board member Kathleen Hohenadel said.
Response: Sexton did not return a request for comment via an email address and phone numbers listed for him online.
Next steps: With Sexton no longer a board member, the district has 30 days to fill his vacancy. Interested Columbia residents who are at least 18 years old and have resided in the borough for at least one year may go to the school board website for more information and to apply for a position.
Plans for $234M Veterans Memorial Bridge project now available online | Local News | lancasteronline.com
Project plans and comment forms will be available until Oct. 17 at https://lanc.news/BridgeMeeting under the "resources" section. The website also includes an 11-minute video showing how PennDOT plans to replace the bridge deck, barriers, horizontal beams, and vertical columns above the arches during construction.
The same information will be available at an open house scheduled for 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Columbia Market House, 15 S. Third St. in Columbia. No formal presentation will take place. Meter parking in Columbia will be free after noon on Tuesday for the meeting.
