RESS SERV ISI, THE WARWICK AREA EOR MORE THAÏS A T E S T E R V 108th Year ESTABLISHED APRIL4877 ASTHE SUNBEAM CONSOLIDATED WITH THE LITITZ RECORD 1937 Lititz, Lancaster County, PA. 17543, Thursday, September 27,1984 25 CENTS ACOPY: $7,00 PER YEAR BYMAIL WITHIN LANCASTER COUNTY 24 Pages-No. 27 Tenants of the Kleine House Apartments at the corner of Front and Water Streets submitted a petition to borough council Tuesday asking council to investigate alleged violations of fire and safety codes. Tenants want fire escapes from the skylight windows, fire extinguishers and smoke detectors in each apartment, rope ladders for escape in case of emergency and repairs done to the roof. In Warwick Township County Planners Endorse Higher Density By Kathleen King A proposed commercial zone along Route 501 south of Lititz borough and an increase in the agricultural zone were two major areas of discussion by the Lancaster County Planning Commission when it reviewed the proposed changes to Warwick Township’s zoning ordinance Monday at the county planning commission’s re g u la r semi-monthly meeting. The county planners also noted that proposed increased density in residential districts was an appropriate decision which would help save open farmland. The c om m is s io n e rs reviewed a proposed draft of the new zoning ordinance, which has yet to be voted on by either the Warwick Township supervisors or planning commission. Both local bodies will be holding public hearings on the proposed zoning amendments sometime in the near future, but have yet to come to a concensus on the proposals. Although the proposed increased density has been an item of discussion and disagreement by township residents and supervisors, the county planning commission said in its comments that it was a “generally appropriate revision which (will) provide for higher d e n s ity r e s id e n tia l development in arease where public sewer and water facilities are in place or ^will eventually be provided...” A c co rd in g to Ray Pickering, associate community planner for the Lancaster County Planning Commission, the proposed zoning changes in Warwick Township which increase density “is a logical way to go about it.” “Overall, it’s a good effort by increasing densities in the residential areas,” Pickering said, which in turn leaves the open and agricultural lands free from development. According to County Planning Commission director John Ahlfeld, higher density zoning allows for less expensive housing which is needed. Ahlfeld said the proposed high density areas in Warwick Township are “not really very high density.” “Population growth is inevitable,” Pickering said. “It’s going to come. It’s a matter of determining and planning for the best way to house these people.” In their comments on the revised map the county planning commission expressed concern that the proposed commercial district along Lititz Pike in the southern end of the township, which would extend from the existing commercially zoned land in the Kissel Hill area to the southern boundary of the township, would create “strip commercial zone.” “ S tr ip c om m e rc ia l development would increase traffic congestion along this In This Issue Editorial 4 Sports Section 5,6,7,8 Social 9,10 Church 18 Business Directory 20 Classified 22,23 heavily travelled arterial highway and promote energy inefficiency,” the planners said in their written comments. They noted that the area is designated as appropriate for agricultural uses in the county’s comprehensive plan and for rural uses in the township’s comprehensive plan. “The (county) planning commission recommends that, in making its decision on this map revision, the township carefully consider the demand for additional commercial zoning and whether other locations in the township might be more ap p ro p ria te for such development,” the commissioners said. The county planning commission also recommended that the township consider extending the existing agricultural district into the southern portion of the township. “Inclusion of this area in the agricultural district would represent a positive step toward preserving this very productive agricultural (Turn to Page 4) Council Hears Petition From Concerned Apartment Tenants Tenants of an historic Lititz structure which has been converted to apartments presented a petition to borough council Tuesday night asking council to look into the tenants’ contentions that the building is lacking fire safety equipment and is in need of repair. Carol Egolf, a tenant at Kleine House Apartments, 166 E. Front St., presented the petition on behalf of the tenants of the other six apartments and 18 neighbors. The petition requested the borough to see to the “proper installation, by and at the expense of the landlord named on each tenant’s lease” of exit lights over building exterior doors; rope ladders providing access to the outside of the building; fire escapes from third story skylight windows; smoke detectors on each floor of each building; and fire extinguishers in each apartment and one in each common hallway within the building. The petition also requested that “any and all apartment water damage caused by poor maintenance of the property’s roof be properly repaired prior to further rent collection by the landlord...” and that the roof of the building be repaired. Ms. Egolf told council that she moved into the building in July and had been told the roof would be repaired and that the building would have more fire extinguishers. She said she has not signed her lease because these promises were not kept. A fire extinguisher is located in the hallway that leads to the apartment entrances. Council directed borough manager Sue Scarcia to write a letter to the property owner, Norman Norris, who lives in the Philadelphia area, expressing the concerns of the tenants. The property is managed locally by Coldwell B an k e r Realvest, 159 Farmington Lane, Lancaster. Council president C. Wendell Hower told Ms. Egolf that he “didn’t think he (the owner) has violated any borough ordinance,” and unless the building “reaches a point it is unsafe and is considered a hazard” and could be condemned, the most the council could do is have a letter written to the owner. According to David Anderson, director of public works, the borough does not have its own fire code or 48-year-old Schoeneck man was injured last Thursday afternoon when his motorcycle collided with fuel truck which had broken down on Route 772 near Warwick Road in Warwick Township. According to Warwick Township Police, Donald R. Torrence, 48, of Schoeneck Rl, was traveling east on Route 772 on his 1984 Kawasaki motorcycle when he rounded a curve and struck an International fuel truck which had broken down and was parked on the roadway. Torrence was transported by the Rothsville ambulance to Lancaster Osteopathic Hospital where he was treated and released. Police said the driver of the truck, Robert Gene Zug, 34, of Refton, Pa., was not injured in the collision. A tow truck was called to remove the fuel truck from the scene of the collision. The accident is still under investigation, police said. A 17-year-old Newport Road motorist was cited for not remaining in the proper lane of traffic Friday night after she lost control of her vehicle which flipped onto its roof and came to rest in the roadway. According to police, the teenager was traveling west on East Newport Road, rounded a curve a 35 mph building inspection code, but by way of reference uses codes printed by the Building Officials Code Association. The borough does also not have a building inspector, Anderson said, and can do little to enforce the BOCA Codes. Hower suggested looking into the possibility of requiring all apartments in the future to have smoke detectors. and swerved to avoid an object crossing the road. She lost control of her vehicle, and struck an embankment, which caused the car to roll over on to its roof, blocking the westbound land, police said. The driver was not injured, but the vehicle was damaged and had to be towed from the scene. The accident occurred shortly after 10 p.m., police said. Police said Gene G. Murphy, 30, of 314 Chocolate Ave., Mount Joy, was cited for driving under the influence of alcohol Sept. 22 after his car struck a mailbox and utility pole 1 along Rabbit Hill Road shortly before midnight. There were no injuries. The vehicle had to be towed from the scene. Warwick Township police cited Bea Moua, 31, of 1053 Pershing Road, Reading, with not yielding half of the roadway following a two-car collision on Sept. 20 at 1:45 p.m. According to police, Moua was traveling north on Skyview Lane in the middle of the road and, upon observing an oncoming vehicle, swerved to the right, lost control of her car and struck a legally parked vehicle owned by Victor C. Stepina, 107 Skyview Lane. There were no injuries, but both cars were damaged, Norris, the owner, contacted Tuesday evening after the meeting, said he and his wife had purchased the building in the fall of 1979 and renovated it in the early ‘80’s “at the request and pleasure of the Lititz Historical Society.” Norris said the building has seven apartments, each of them a two story unit with (Turn to Page 22) pol \e said. H. Landis Martin, 69, of 449 E. Brubaker Valley Road, was cited for failure to yield the right of way following a collision Sept. 19 at 2:15 p.m. near the intersection of Church and Main streets in Rothsville. According to police, Martin pulled from Church Street onto Main in the path of a westbound vehicle, driven by William A. Radell Jr. of 340 E. Main St. Police said Radell, who was traveling about 30 mph, applied his brakes, swerved to the right and struck a utility pole. His car was slightly damaged, police said. Warwick Township police charged Alvin Lee Stoltzfus, 19, with driving under the influence, a stop sign violation and a liquor law violation after he allegedly failed to come to a complete stop at the intersection of Newport Road and Route 772 shortly before midnight on Sept. 22. Police cited Jam es Staggers, 18, of 1309 Church St., with underage drinking, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct following an incident at H.S.Dull and Sons auto parts, 1230 Dridge Hill Road, on Sept. 18. Warwick Township police are investigating an incident which occurred early (Turn to Page 24) Motorcyclist Injured In Route 772 Accident F i v e F o r e i g n S t u d e n t s E x c h a n g e I m p r e s s i o n s O f L i t i t z By Karen Belber Five young students from Tunisia, Holland, Japan, Finland and Germany have something in common - they’re different. A common ground has been founded by their obvious cultural and ethnic differences. The five students are involved in international exchange programs, all designed to allow students of various nationalities an opportunity to get to know the American way of life, and to help strengthen and bridge diplomatic relations. The U n ited S ta te s reciprocates, with several thousand American students traveling to other countries each year as part of the international exchange programs. Warwick has accepted three different programs into the district this year - American Field Service, Educational Foundation for Foreign Service and the Youth For Understanding programs. AFS student Mohammed Baoueb is from Monastir, a middle eastern region of Tunisia where olive trees flourish. His Tunisian family is a large one, with ten children. Mohammed, 19, is living with the Kenneth Boak family at 701 Pine Hill Raod in Brunnerville. The Boaks hosted a Bolivian girl in their home during the 1976-77 school year. Mr. Boak said that they are very pleased with the AFS program in Warwick. Mohammed indicated that life in Lititz is really not too different from his way of life, at least in the “routine” sense. “You get up and go to school. Then you come home and you study. “American schools are very well organized...In Tunisia, though, you are able to go home between classes and for lunch,” he said, Mohammed also mentioned that the academics are different, too. Apparently, Tunisian students have few scholastic electives, but they are given more personal freedom during the course of the school day. Mohammed is a well traveled young man. Before coming to the states in August he and his father visited one of Mohammed’s s i s te r s in F r a n c e . Mohammed traveled solo to Iraq, Greece and Switzerland. “The travels were a gift from my family,” he said with gratitude. Mohammed explained that his country, which is situated in Northern Africa and bordered by Algeria on the west and Libya on the east, “is very influenced by the western world,” because western technology is superior, he said. He was a little disappointed that American te le v is io n i s n ’t as educational, though, Mr. Boak said. But Mohammed had seen “Dallas” before coming to America. Mohammed, who has a fine command of the French language, was discouraged from taking it at Warwick. Instead he is studying German and so far not having any difficulty with it. His native tongue is Arabic, and his religion is Islamic. “There are no problems for me here because of my religious background,” he said. After finishing his secondary education, Mohammed plans to study art at one of the universities in Tunisia. His father is a secondary school headmaster, which, Mohammed said, explains his interest in education. “ I a lre ad y have a bibliothèque (library),” he said spreading his arms to describe its magnitude. Central Tunisia, he said, is very warm and produces alot of wheat and barley. “Olive oil also is a main production,” he added. The Sahara desert is about 300 kilometers southwest of his city. Mountains abound in the northern regions of his country. Mohammed, aside from being a conscientious student, is an ex-soccer player, who now plays IS P volleyball and participates in track events. He said that a foot injury has forced him to retire from the internationally popular soccer sport. He and the Boaks enjoy going to high school football games together, as well as competing in family ping pong matches. “He’s gotten good at ping pong in the past month,” Mr. Boak said. EFFS student, Yvonne Kruiswijk, 17, of Holland, said that the Lititz area is really very similar to her native Netherlands, located north of France and west of Germany. In her town of Gelderson, which is twice the size of (Turn to Page 24) Itpw i i » » Lititz Retailer’s Mohammed Baoueb of Tunisia spoke for his country in Northern Africa when he said, "We're more interested in the West than in the East in Tunisia.” For Jun Sato, who studies a lot of mathematics in his native Japan, “ Political Behavior and Geography of the U.S. are very difficult” subjects for him at Warwick.
