Missed last night’s council meeting? | Watch it here. 567 other Columbia stakeholders watched it at this posting.

Do something good | “The Columbia Borough Police Department’s Bike Patrol will be watching for kids ages 17 and under who are doing something good.  This could be anything from wearing your helmet while riding bike, to picking up trash in a park, to assisting an elderly person carry groceries etc…  When an officer spots you doing something good he/she will stop and talk to you and give you a gift certificate for Murphy’s Mercantile & Co. at Hinkle’s (compliments of Cimarron Investments LLC.).  Get out there and do GOOD! – Columbia Police Department CrimeWatch Page
