Families Invited To Attend
Close Encounters Center
Holds Open House Saturday
By Pat Herr
Close Encounters Teen
Center, located at 23J/a East
Main St., below the White
Shield Store, will welcome
the Lititz/Warwick com­munity
to an Open House
this Saturday from 10 a.m. to
5 p.m.
Special feature attractions
Saturday will include a
Foosball (German footballJ
Tournament for youths ages
nine to 12; a special discount
price on all food from the
snack bar for two weeks for
anyone ages nine to 18 who
brings one or both parents to
the open house; plus parents
get any item on the menu
FREE, according to Bob
Love, director of Close
Encounters.
The Teen Center opened
its doors to the youth of the
community November 10,
1981 and has been a
resounding success. Initially
geared toward junior high
age (13-15 years old), the
center has expanded to also
include young people ages
nine to 12 and ages 16 to 18.
Sponsored by SALT
Ministeries and the Warwick
Council of Churches, the
center is a place where
young people can ‘hang
around and have a good
time,” according to Love. It
provides an alternative to
standing around the street
corners and "hanging out”
at the shopping centers, etc.
to fill their spare time.
Several Lititz police of­ficers
are ardent supporters
of the center, citing the need
for activities such as this in
the community.
"The kids that come in
here are well behaved and
we’ve had very few incidents
of trouble,” Love stated and
added, "In fact, we’ve had a
lot of kids who come for the
first time and then go out
and bring their friends with
them the next time. We’re
thrilled with the response
we’ve received so far.”
Linford Good, executive
director of SALT Ministries,
explained, “ We offer
alternatives in lifestyle,
different from what may be
promoted and pushed by
their peers...our goal is to
have a program where every
kid can feel he belongs. ’ ’
In addition to Love, the
center is staffed by four to
six volunteers from the
community.
The center offers table
games, pool and ping-pong
tables, pinball machines and
one or two electronic games.
It also offers a quiet place
where the kids may read or
play cards. A snack bar is
also available.
Parents and kids, do
yourselves a favor and take
time out to visit the Open
House at the center Satur­day.

The Warwick School
Board approved the joint
operation of the Diversified
Occupation Program during
the 1982-83 school year,
sharing a diversified oc­cupation
teacher with
Manheim Township and
cutting the operation costs in
half for both districts.
By sharing the cost to
Warwick will be ap­proximately
$16,000 which
will be paid through a
reimbursement to Manheim
Township which has hired
Bob Jackson to work as the?
shared teacher for the
program.
The $16,000 represents a
savings of about $3,000 over
what the district would pay
in the Vo-Tech run program,
and is one half of the total of
the shared cost with
Manheim Township District.
The program cost for the two
d i s t r i c t s to t a ls ap ­proximately
$32,000.
Dr. Bonfield said that
Manheim Township was
chosen as a "partner” for
Warwick mainly because of
the geographical location ,
"so there could be closer
cooperation and use of work
sites.”
At the June 15 meeting, the
board voted to withdraw
from the Vo-Tech Diver­sified
Occupation Program
effective with, the 1982-83
school year and stated that it
planned to provide the DOP
program on its own or by
contracting the service on a
part-time basis with another
school district.
The board approved the
election of David Althouse,
403 Arrowhead Drive, as the
Athletic Director for the
District, effective July 20 for
the 1982-83 school year.

Correction
An error appeared in
the Warwick Township
police report last week.
The owners of Joan’s
Economy Shop, 1721 Old
Rothsville Road, are
Donald and Joian Rader,
1721 Orchard Road, not
the persons whose
names were reported
last week.
The Record Express
regrets the error.
Correction
In the July 15 article
featuring recollections
of the preceeding
Village Art Association
sidewalk art shows,
sponsored jointly by the
L it itz R e t a i le r s
Association, it was
incorrectly reported
that during the planning
stages of the first show,
Bill Bell met with the
com m itte e a s a
representative of the
Rotarians.
Mr. H a ckm a n ’ s
recollections were that
Bell represented the
Lititz Retailers. All the
VAA art shows have
been jointly sponsored
by the VAA and the
L it it z R e t a i l e r s
Association.
The Record Express
apologizes for the error.
It appears that General Sutter is having a yard sale as one antique dealer set
up a stand in front of the restored home on Main Street, during the sidewalk
antiques sale Saturday. See more pictures on page 9.
