today’s news and information gleanings from here and there! 

Quote for today…It’s going to be weird not wearing a Columbia Crimson Tide shirt on Friday nights.”  – Mike Burke III, in this Lancaster Intelligencer Journal/New Era article.

  • “The West Hempfield Township Police Department said this morning it is experiencing problems with its phone system. Chief Mark G. Pugliese said callers to the police department today haven’t been able to hear the office staff in some cases. The chief said callers who need help and can’t get through to West Hempfield police should call 911 in an emergency or (800)-957-2677 in a non-emergency. Pugliese, in a news release, said the department has contacted the phone company and its private vendor, which are looking into the problem.” – LancasterOnLine
  • The parking meters in Lititz are “bagged” to encourage downtown shopping during the Christmas season. So, too, are the meters in Ephrata … according to this from that Borough’s November minutes: “including ‘bagging’ of parking meters from November 23, 2012 to and including December 31, 2012.” Wonder why Columbia doesn’t consider parking meter “bagging” at Christmas?
  • “Concerns about air emissions and flammable hexane likely will be discussed Thursday evening in Hellam Township, York County, when the state Department of Environmental Protection holds a public hearing on the Perdue soybean-crushing plant proposed for Conoy Township.” – Lancaster Intelligencer Journal/New Era
