Columbia Township residents can call the Lorain County sheriff directly at 6 2345 Belmont. The new line costs about 45 dollars monthly and marks the move toward a 24 hour sheriff patrol starting Monday. Earl K Avins loses his township police constable pay of 3500 monthly under the changes and will keep the elected post. The dispute over jurisdiction with Sheriff Vernon Smith arose after reports the sheriff’s department did not get calls, with Smith denying and accusing Avins of not forwarding crime matters. County commissioners refused a special direct line, saying they cannot grant privileges not given to other townships.
