Some of the children who
go to kindergarten at Kissel
Hill Elementary School had
a "four bus day” Monday,
counting the big yellow
Warwick school bus that
took them to the school in the
first place.
After spending a fun day in
class Monday morning, the
31 children boarded then-school
bus to be taken home.
What normally turns out to
be routine ended up to be
quite an experience for the
children.
Their school bus driver,
Robert Risser, North Broad
Street, was travelling west
on East Woods Drive and
upon reaching Route 501,
stopped and then made a left
turn onto the Lititz Pike.
Then while southbound the
bus was struck by a vehicle
operated by Carol L. Noll, of
Ephrata Rl, who was also
southbound on Route 501,
according to Warwick
Township police. Damage to
the Noll car was light; the
bus suffered moderate
damage and had to be towed
from the scene, police said.
No injuries were suffered in
the mishap. Lititz Police
Officer Charles Shenen-berger
assisted at the scene.
The accident is under in­vestigation
by acting Police
Chief Ray Lausch.
A second bus was then
dispatched to the scene to
take the children home, was
loaded and underway with
Mildred A. Eby, 216 E.
Lincoln Ave., at the wheel
when it too was involved in a
slithering accident at 12 noon
on ice-covered West Woods
Drive, about one-quarter
mile west of Hess Lane,
according to Ephrata State
Trooper Edward Noll, who
was in charge of the in­vestigation.
Noll sa id a 1972
Volkswagen, operated by
Jackie Houshower, 24, of
Manheim R3, was disabled,
facing west on West Woods
Drive, and was partially on
the highway. When Eby saw
the Houshower car as she
was driving the bus down a
steep icy hill, she applied her

The Warwick School District school bus is being towed from the scene of the

the side of the road, Noll
added.

Lititz Borough Council
Tuesday night "regretfully”
accepted the resignation of
Leroy Emmerich as an
officer in the Lititz Police
Department, effective
Monday, Feb. 1, 1982. In his
letter to council, Emmerich
stated that he was "leaving
active employment” with
the force.
Emmerich has been with
the police force for 17 years
and 8 months. When con­tacted
he said that although
his future plans do not in­clude
employment in the law
enforcement field, he will
remain as president of the
Lancaster County Law
Enforcement Officers
Association.
Christmas Stars
Karen Koncie, Borough
Officer Manager, told
council that the borough has
received cash contributions
ot $430 thus fa r to
i-ebuild/restore the present
Christmas star decorations.
The estimated cost to build
an exact replica of the
current star is $62 per star.
The borough originally had
50 stars but only 35 remain
and they need either to be
rebuilt or repaired. If the
borough could raise enough
money it could rebuild 50
stars at an estimated cost of
approximately $3,100. This
would place decorations on
two blocks of East Main
Stieet (to Water Street) and
two blocks of Broad Street,
just as it was years ago.
Mrs. Koncie announced
that the Lititz Woman’s Club
has pledged $500 to the

project. She also said that
the Lititz Rotary and Lions
Clubs, Lititz Jaycees and the
Lititz Retailers Association
have called the borough
office for more information,
but have not as yet indicated
what their plans are.
(With $930 already in cash
and pledges, only an
estimated $2,170 more would
be required to restore the
Christmas decorations in the
downtown area to the way
they originally were.)
Public Works Report
Borough council heard the
public works report for
January given by David
Anderson, Director of Public
Services. Among the
projects completed in
January were: installed
sewer lateral for 217
Raspberry Lane from home

Lane; picked up and
mulched 745 Christmas
trees; dug and placed stone
foundation for swim team
shed at the swimming pool;
removed and stored the
Christmas stars and nativity
scene; removed parking
meters and changed signs on
North Broad Street as
directed by council; in­stalled
no-parking signs on
West Lincoln Avenue near
Warner-Lambert; and
repaired water main break
on North Broad Street.
Clay Road Bridge
Council received a request
from the Warwick Township
Board 5f Supervisors asking
council and the Lititz Sewer
Authority to join with
Warwick Township in
petitioning the State for a
new bridge to replace the
present inadequate expanse
over Lititz Run on Clay
Road.
Council authorized Mrs.
Koncie to write letters of
support for the project to the
Lancaster County Planning
Commission and to Penn-

Anderson to tell the Lititz

DSA, OYFF, OYE, OYM
and OYW-the initials may
not be familiar to many; but
the faces of those individuals
who received these awards
should be familiar to many
around Lititz.
These initials stand for the
awards presented this past
Thursday night at the
Distinguished Service
Awards Banquet hosted by
the Lititz Area Jaycees and
Jaycettes. The awards
program, held each year
during Jay c e e week,
recognized those individuals
in the community who have
given distinguished service
to the Lititz area:
Recipients of this year’s
awards include: Jerry
Kiralfy, Distinguished
Service Award (DSA); Tom
Clausen, Outstanding Young
Educator (OYE); Ron
Roberts, Outstanding Young
Fire Fighter (OYFF); A1
Olah, Outstanding Young
Man (OYM); and Marsha
Campbell, Outstanding
Young Woman (OYM).
In previous years the
Jaycees had only recognized
the Outstanding Young
Educator; however, this
year is the beginning of the
expanded awards program.
Nominees from the
community were sought,
judges selected and award
winners selected through the
efforts of individual
chairmen for each award.
This year’s chairmen in­cluded
Jeff Stanley, Guy
Malleus, Joe Textor, and
Rick Dombach. 1
Awards banquet chair­man,
Terry Zeiders, served
as emcee for the annual
event and keynote speaker
was Jim Kinder, past
president of the Penn­sylvania
Jaycees.
OYE - Tom Clausen
Thomas R. Clausen, of
Kissel Hill Elementary
School was selected Out­standing
Young Educator by
a panel of judges under the
supervision of OYE Project
chairman Guy Malleus.
Clausen is employed by
the Warwick School District
and has been a fifth grade
teacher since 1971. He
graduated from Warwick
High School and earned his
B.S. and Masters degrees in
elementary education and
physical education from
Millersville State College.
He, his wife Margaret and
sons, Jonathan, Jeffrey and
Joel, reside at 309 Front St.
The purpose of the Out­standing
Young Educator
Program is to foster better
com m u n ity r e la tio n s
through Jaycee-Educator
contacts and by creating a
greater public interest in
and understanding of todays
educator and his problems,
according to chairman
Malleus.
The Jaycees believe that
education is an important
past of American Life, and
by honoring young teachers
like Tom Clausen, the im­portance
of this profession to
the growth of our community
can be emphasized, Malleus
said.
Speaking on behalf of the
Lititz Area Jaycees, Malleus
said:
Tom exemplifies all the
qualities that typify ex­cellence
in the teaching
profession. He is a
responsible and dedicated
family man, an active and
involved community worker
and a truly creative and
imaginative teacher.
With students Tom
demonstrates a sincere
interest in each student. He
works constantly to improve
their performance and in­spire
their curiosity.
Tom is employed during
the summer months by the
Lititz Recreation Center as a
playground director and as a
swimming instructor for the
Lititz Springs Swimming
Pool.
Active in sports, Clausen is
an Assistant Varsity Boys
basketball coach and a
Assistant Varsity Boys track
coach. He also supervises
the School Safety Patrol.
Additionally, Tom is a
Sunday School Teacher and
member of the Lititz United
Methodist Church.
The Jay c e e s thank
Warwick School District
Superintendent Dr. John
Bonfield for his support of
this program and the in­dividual
school principals
for their cooperation. Also to
be congratulated are the
s em i- f in a lis ts , C ra ig
Wagaman of the Lititz
Elementary School, Earl
Groff of the Warwick Middle
School and Dale Dietrich of
the Warwick High School.
Although not selected this
year, these people have
more than demonstrated
their outstanding abilities
the devotion to their
profession, as evidenced by
their nomination to the OYE
selection panel from their
peers.
Tom Clausen was of­ficially
recognized as the
O u ts ta n d in g Young
Educator at the first annual
Distinguished Service
Awards banquet on Jan. 21,
