Arbor Day Celebration will bring community together BY CATHY MOLITORIS
For more than three decades, Columbia has been recognized by the national Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City USA, thanks to the efforts of the Columbia Borough Shade Tree Commission, the Columbia Tree Society and the Columbia Park Rangers. The groups will hold the 31st annual Arbor Day Celebration at Zion Hill Cemetery, 553 N. Fifth St., Columbia, on Friday, April 28. The event will begin at 6 p.m. Established in 1920, the cemetery was the primary burial ground for Columbia’s Black population into the 1940s. Chris Vera, president of the Columbia Historic Preservation Society, will serve as master of ceremonies for the Arbor Day event, said event organizer Bill Kloidt, who noted that the society has taken an active role in restoring the cemetery over the past few years. At the Arbor Day event, the Rev. Patricia S. McAllister, pastor of Mount Zion AME Church in Columbia, will offer an invocation and benediction. Amy Evans, chair of the Columbia Borough Shade Tree Commission, will give welcoming remarks. Columbia Mayor Leo Lutz will present the Arbor Day proclamation, and See Arbor Day pg 2
