Police clear
two cases
Lititz police “cleared” two
thefts recently following
several months of in­vestigation.
Audrey H. Grube, 52, a
former secretary in the
office of Dr. Paul Stoner, 515
S. Broad St., was formally
charged May 2 with theft by
deception and theft by
failure to make required
disposition of funds.
The charges were brought
by O ffic e r C h a rle s
Shenenberger after an in­vestigation
which began in
January. Shenenberger’s
investigation into office
records revealed that $13,200
was taken between January
1984 and December 1985.
A 17-year-old Berks
County youth pleaded guilty
to charges of burglary and
theft May 6 in Berks County
Juvenile Court. The charges
stemmed from an in­vestigation
into a burglary-theft
which occurred at the
Lititz Rec Center between
11:30 p.m. January 21 and
7:50 a.m. January 22. At the
time, Alan Mobley of the Rec
Center told police that
someone had entered an
office and taken about $133.
There was $100 damage to
the office door.
A break in the case oc­curred
March 27 when police
were given the name of a
suspect. He was questioned
April 10 and admitted his
guilt. The youth was
petitioned to Berks County
juvenile authorities.
On May 6, he was ordered
to make restitution, pay
court costs and perform 45
hours of community service
work. Chief James S. Fritz
and Officer Shenenberger
conducted the investigation.
A criminal attempt at
burglary at the Federal
Mogul job site is under in­vestigation
by Officer Kerry
Nye. Andrew Sorities, an
employee of TAH Con­struction,
told Nye that
between May 9 and 12,
someone had tried to break
into a construction trailer by
prying open the door.
Nothing is known to be
missing at this time, but
there is $100 damage to the
door.
Jeffrey R. Bennett, 19, of
1306 Meadow Brook Lane,
Lancaster, has been cited for
defiant criminal trespass as
a result of an incident May 7
at 10:15 p.m. at Linden Hall.
Thomas Zepp of Schaad
Security apprehended
Bennett and notified police.
Officer Ronald Sandhaus
took Bennett to the police
station where he was
charged.
James Lee Hackman, 39,
of 120 N. Liberty St., was
taken into custody May 13 at
1:25 a.m. by Officer
Shenenberger, assisted by
Warwick Township Police
Officers Ed Kilgore and
Shane Becker. He was
charged with disorderly
conduct, harassment and
simple assault.
S h e n e n b e rg e r had
responded to a complaint of
yelling and fighting on the
street at the address. On
arrival, he noted that the
disturnance had moved
inside to Hackman’s
residence.
Shenenberger found
Hackman to be under the
influence. He continued to
cause a disturbance and
allegedly struck two women
while inside the residence.
Hackman was taken to the
police station where he was
placed in a cell for the night.
He was released at 6:30 a.m.
pending the charges.
Officer Kevin Meil is in­vestigating
the theft of tires
from a garage owned by
James Stefanik, 216 Aspen
Drive. Stefanik said that two
14-inch Viking radial XTC
P225R14 tires valued at $56
each were missing. The
theft occurred between
November 1985 and May 4 of
this year.
The following were cited
for motor vehicle violations:
William R. Weachter, 32, of
35 E. Second Ave., operating
a motor vehicle without an
official certificate of in­spection,
May 7; and
Timothy B. Histand, 45 of 117
Holiday House Road,
Sellersville, traffic control
signals, May 10.

Voters to choose governor

lieutenant governor, U.S.
Senate, U.S. Congress, state
senate, state representative
and members of state
committees.
Incumbent U.S. Senator
Arlen Spector will be
challenged by an opponent
whose motivation for run­ning
is to oppose Spector’s
stand on abortion and prayer
in schools.
A social studies teacher
from Carlisle, Richard A.
Stokes took an unpaid leave
of absence to oppose Spector
in the Republican primary,
appealing to Republican
voters who reportedly
consider Spector too liberal
for the right wing of the
GOP.
Democratic voters will be
able to choose among four
U.S. senatorial candidates in

George Elder and Cyril
Sagan.
Bailey is endorsed by the

and U n ited
Steelworkers.

running unopposed for both
governor and lieutenant
governor. They are William
Scranton for governor and

Steve Douglas and Bob
Casey for governor, and

Flaherty and Mark Singel
for lieutenant governor.
Casey has endorsed Singel
as his choice for lieutenant

decide who will run with the
gubernatorial candiate in a
separate primary vote.
Democrats will have the
opportunity to make a choice
between Michael T. Neal and
James D. Hagelgans for the
U.S. representative slot on
their November ballot.
Republican voters will see
only the familiar name of
Robert S. Walker under the
U.S. representative slot on
their ballots. Walker has no
opponent in the primary for
the first time since 1980.
In the 97th Legislative
District, which includes
Lititz Borough and Warwick
Township, incumbent June
Honaman will be on the

primary, she will face

unop p o sed on the
Democratic primary ballot.
In the 102nd Legislative
District, incumbent Nicholas
B. M oehlmann, a
Republican from Lebanon, is
running unopposed for the
Republican spot, but he will

This is where it all began — Moravian Church
Square. Almost a year ago, the process began that
ended on May 9 with the acceptance of historic
Lititz, the area surrounding Church Square, as a
National Register Historic District.
O l d L i t i t z r e c o g n iz e d
b y H is t o r ic R e g is t e r
Almost one year after the
application was made,
Lititz’ historic district -
along East Main Street and
around Moravian Church
Square - has officially been
listed as a National Register
Historic District.
According to Mary Wiley,
director of preservation
services for the Historic
Preservation Trust of
Lancaster County, the
district was given official
approval at the national
level on May 9.
The National Register
functions under the auspices
of the National Parks Ser­vice.
On June 24, 1985, the first
public meeting was held in
the Brothers’ House on
Church Square to discuss the
proposed historic site.
Fewer than half of the
district’s residents, who had
been informed of the
meeting by mail, were on
hand.
Although the original
move to have Church Square
placed on the register was
initiated by the Archives
Committee of the Moravian
Church, county Historic
P r e s e r v a tio n T ru s t
representatives saw the
possibility that a larger area
of old Lititz could be in­cluded.
Nomination was made not
only for Church Square, but
also along East Main Street
to Broad Street.
Areas included are
bounded by Main, Cedar,
Marion and Locust streets.
Notified of the national
decision, Dr. Byron Horne,
former pastor of the
Moravian Church, former
headmaster at Linden Hall
and local h istorian,
responded that he thinks this
decision “is something to be
prized.”
Dr. Home said “the ex­perience
in other com­munities
has been that
property values (of Historic
Register real estate) go up
15 to 20 percent, although we
didn’t do it for that reason,”
he added.
“ ‘But there’s a sense of
security that goes with it
(register designation), and
people don’t mind investing
in it,” he noted.
Both county and state
officials studied and
researched the area before
the proposal was sent to the
state Bureau of Historic
Preservation and, in March,
was sent on to the National
Register Historic District.
Photographs and a r­chitectural
descriptions of
127 buildings in the historic
area were part of the ap­plication
package.
'Hands Across America’ has
strong link in Sue Logan
Sue Logan is the assistant coordinator for Hands Across America in the
Susquehanna Valley area.
by Kathleen King
It’s a simple gesture. One
hand reaching out and
touching another. Forging a
link.
But what if each link was
joined by others, and others,
and still others? Across
miles, through towns, over
mountains.
To form a human line...all
the way across America?
Like many other people
who saw the commercial
during the Super Bowl
halftime, Sue Logan was
struck by the magnificence
of the idea.
And by its purpose - to
fight homelessness and
hunger within the world’s
most affluent country - our
own.
Hands Across America.
And Sue Logan wanted to
be a part of it, right from the
start.
And when Sue Logan
decides to do something, it
will get done.
A woman of seemingly
endless energy, Logan
believes in being active. She
is a full-time night nursing
supervisor at the Masonic
Homes in Elizabethtown and
teaches Latin and French for
the Intermediate Unit 13’s
gifted program.
Graduating from Bucknell
University before the age of
21 (how much before, she
won’t say), she had taken a
triple major: French, music
and sociology.
She is certified to teach
English, French and com­prehensive
social studies.
She is a graduate of
Lankenau School of Nursing
has a nursing education
degree from Columbia
University.
And she in an veteran
volunteer.
F o r Hands Ac ross
America, Logan is the
Susquehanna Valley area’s
assistant coordinator and
also a mile coordinator.
All this was happening
about the same time she
became the publicity
chairman for the Warwick
High School production of
“The Sound of Music.”
She saw a link there and
suggested donating a per­centage
of the profits of the
play to Hands Across
America. In the end the
Warblers, the parent support
group for the high school
glee club, took on the
project.
For every paid admission,
the Warblers donated 10
cents toward Hands Across
America. The play got
publicity on radio and
television because of its
involvement in the project
and was a sell-out.
According to Logan,
Warwick was the first high
school to make a group effort
for Hands Across America.
It netted them a spot on a
prime-time nationwide
commerical that is to air
sometime before May 20.
Each person who joins the
line on May 25 is asked to
donate $10. The “Sound of
Music” raised enough
money to sent 25 students,
Logan said. But many more
have paid their own way to
be a part of this unique event
in American history.
The logistics are mind
boggling.
The human chain will
stretch over 4,137 miles,
cross 16 states and the
District of Columbia, and
pass within 200 miles of 60 to
70 percent of the U.S.
population.
Over six million people are
needed as links in the chain.
Over 300 miles of the line will
pass through Pennsylvania
in two segments.
The western segment
s ta r ts a t the Penn-sylvania/
Ohio border near
New Castle and runs to the
Maryland border south of
Chambersburg.
The line reenters Penn­sylvania
from New Jersey
near Yeadon and goes
through Philadelphia and
northeast toward Newark.
Logan s a id the
Susquehanna Valley office
pledged to fill five miles of
the chain along Route 11
between Chambersburg and
the Pennsylvania state line.
There are still about 1.5
miles left to fill.
Each mile of the chain has
a mile coordinator and each
mile is divided into one-tenth
mile sections so that persons
joining the line will be
assigned to a one-tenth mile
section within a specific one-mile,
she explained.
It takes 132 people to make
up one-tenth of a mile, she
pointed out.
Parking lots and areas are
designated according to
where you are assigned in
line, she added.
There is some bus tran­sportation
available for
groups in the Susquehanna
Valley’s five-mile section,
she explained.
