Later in the evening, the mayor announced that he might use his veto power to block a rezoning decision by council. Borough Council voted 3-2 to approve the rezoning of a controversial tract of land on the south side of Arrowhead Drive to permit high density townhouses and apartments. Voting no, councilman David Bucher said he voted a “ borderline no” in response to neighbors’ arguments against rezoning and to re-emphasize his belief that Lancaster County, in general, is being overdeveloped. New council member Sam Hess said his negative vote reflected his belief that the 60 units that could be built under R2 zoning would be sufficient. Voting yes were coun-cilmen Clyde Tshudy, Jeff Siegrist and Russ Pettyjohn. Tshudy said he thinks the construction would alleviate drainage problems in the area, while Siegrist and Pettyjohn said they felt the R-A zoning would create a “good buffer” between the present residential area and "Wall of water" hits home, owner seeks boro, twp. aid by Bonnie Szymanski “It was not a build-up. We were watching it. We saw it coming and hysterically ran into the house.” Joan Thomas, 301 Cardinal Road, was telling members of Lititz Borough Council about the wall of water that rampaged into her house Saturday night as she and family members watched. Previous to the time the water hit the back of her house, said Mrs. Thomas, her basement was being easily cleared of water from the downpour at a rate of 2 to ■ 3 inches each 15 to 20 seconds, she estimated. “No problem with that,” she added. It was ’’all this water rolling, smashing up the side of the house,” that broke through the windows and, according to Mrs. Thomas, could have decapitated her daughter, who, moments before, had been standing in its path. She contended that her daughter also could have drowned if she had been sleeping in the room that quickly filled with two feet of water. A neighbor, Frank Javorka, said he arrived minutes after the water washed into the Thomas house. “We spent till 1:30 a.m. pumping out Mrs. Thomas’ basement,” said Javorka. He estimated they were taking out 300 gallons a minute with five shop vacuum cleaners. Javorka said he took 50 to 60 pictures of the destruction and of the area he contends is responsible for Saturday’s problem. Javorka, who is program m a n a g e r with ISC Technologies of Lancaster, said he has spent 10 years working with industry and EPA on environmental projects. He said he investigated and found that the developer of Fairmeadows has been given a permit by the D e p a rtm e n t of E n vironmental Resources to construct sewer and water lines on the flood plain on the southeast corner of the Brunnerville/Newport roads intersection. The problem is, said Javorka, the developer has already dug a collection pit. On Saturday, the earthen dam that enclosed the western end of the pit “blew out” from water pressure, said Javorka. The result was a 2-foot high wall of water that rushed down the 60-foot wide Cardinal Road into the Thomas residence. He said that the 60-foot- (Turn to Page 16) the industrial zone west of the borough along West Lincoln Avenue. Mayor to veto? Lititz mayor Roy Clair told council that he is considering using his veto power with regard to the rezoning of the 11-acre tract of land. He said he considers re s id e n ts ’ arguments against the denser rezoning a prime reason for the possible veto. Clair explained that to utilize his veto power, he must present his objections in writing at the next regularly scheduled meeting of council, but not less than 10 days from the date of rezoning approval. The next meeting is a work session scheduled for Aug. 25. In other business, council approved a resolution to include fire fighters, fire police and members of the fire company auxiliary in workmen’s compensation coverage under nonemergency situations. Non-emergencies include such activities as fundraisers, flag raising and lowering, basement pumping and other public service activities. Rec Center land Council approved a request from the Rec Center board of directors to authorize the donation and/or long-term sale or lease of land located between the Lititz Springs swimming pool and the middle school to the Lititz Community Center Inc. This authorization allows the rec center board to begin an official community fundraising project for the proposed new recreational center.

Two models of the Fenwick Fencolor units will be introduced. Each model indicates bottom, fish and underwater structures, using state-of-the-art, multicolor, split-screen, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panels. The display technology has been adapted from previously-tested automotive and marine LCD research. The units have a capacity for night viewing as well as viewing in direct sunlight without the need to remove polarized sunglasses. According to a written report from Woodstream, the Fencolor units have “none of the operational complexities that have dampened the enthusiasm of many LCD users in the past.” Says the report, “The ‘zoom split screens’ allow simultaneous viewing of a large area under the boat while zooming in for a close-up look at objects picked up by the wider scan.” The units produce instant readings in water as shallow New easy-to-use Fenwick(R) Fencolor(tm) fish finders utilize technology adapted from automotive and marine LCD research to provide display for night viewing as well as one that can be viewed in direct sunlight even with polarized sunglasses.

An “instant replay” feature allows anglers to electronically “back up the boat” to see what was under the area of water just crossed. New rods Also introduced for 1987 marketing at the trade show will be a new line of four Fenwick saltwater rods. Called Hotsticks, the rods are crafted from an impact-resistant fiberglass material for handling big fish such as albacore, bluefish, stripers, barracuda, yellowtail and bigeye tuna. Constructed with thick walls, the rods are tapered gradually to absorb sudden shocks from the fish. Three casting rods and a spinning version are included in the line. All are 7 feet long, except the casting model HC 667, which is a 6-1/ 2-foot model designed to handle lure weights from 3/4 to 3-ounces. The spinning model HS 705 handles the same weights as the HC 667. Several new models of Fenwick rods are also being introduced for 1987 fishing. Fenwick’s World Class all-graphite rods introduced last year have been expanded from fly rods to include one-and two-piece spinning and (Turn to Page 2) Lititz resident Owen Dodge measures the height of the creek in Lititz Springs Park with his bike, demonstrating the water’s dramatic rise, which lasted into Sunday morning, when this photo was taken.

The wall was unable to contain the high waters that peaked Saturday night shortly after midnight and didn't begin receding until 2 a.m. Hood damage reported light, but park was lake in minutes photos and text by Bonnie Szymanski The rain in Lititz stayed mainly in the park and surrounding floodplain during Saturday night’s (July 26) downpour that left a measured 7.4 inches of rain in the borough, according to Lititz Public Works director David Anderson. Despite widespread flooding and the closing of all north-south streets except Oak Street, the Lititz Run Creek didn’t reach its Agnes level (1972 hurricane) and the Santo Domingo never breached its banks, said Anderson. “We came through very well considering the nature of the storm,” contended Anderson, who spent Monday morning assessing damage in the borough. He said that the only public building affected by the high water was the old digester building at the sewage plant, which is no longer in use. But the rush of water did blow out the building’s basement windows, Anderson informed council members Tuesday night. “We did end up with excessive flow through the plant,” added Anderson, noting that there was in excess of 8 million gallons per day continuing to flow through the treatment plant on Monday. A normal day’s flow is about 2 million gallons. Gauges at the plant will not measure volume above 8 million gallons per day. “The only thing to do is keep pumping,” said Anderson. “As far as we know, there have been no overspills,” he assured us, explaining that an indication of overspill into a creek would be the discovery of a manhole top or similar clue. Anderson estimated that the creek in Lititz Springs Park peaked between the hours of 12:30 and 2 a.m. Sunday morning. During that period, North Broad Street remained officially open, although it was all but impassable. “Some hearty souls did drive through,” admitted Anderson. The public works director did manage a less-than-scientific but loeally-significant statistic on the water level on North Broad Street at the park’s entrance during this critical period. Said Anderson, “It was up to Bingey’s doorstep. When In this issue Editorial 4 Sports Section 6,7,8 Social 9,10 Church 12 Manheim 13,14 Business Directory 15,16 Classified 17,18,19 somebody rippled the water, it went in.

Three businesses along North Broad Street within stream-overflow range were flooded and were being pumped out Sunday morning: Parkview Hotel, 25 N. Broad St., Long & Bom-berger’s Hardware, 45 N. Broad St.; and Bingey’s, 35 N. Broad St. All dentention basins in the borough overflowed their spillways, said Anderson, including those at Moravian Manor, Warner Lambert, Federal-Mogul and Fair-meadows development at Cardinal and Chickadee roads. Park as detention basin Anderson explained that, according to federa l floodplain guidelines, a park like the Lititz Springs Park is actually a “valuable detention area” for flooding streams. Although a considerable clean-up effort will be necessary in the park, the cost will be only a fraction of the monetary outlay needed to refurbish homes or municipal buildings. He noted that a federal study completed several years ago designated the borough as a floodplain, making residents eligible for flood insurance rates established by the government. Maps of the study and information on flood insurance rates are available in the Lititz Borough office and in Anderson’s office.

Loop Road, with DUI after Adams was involved in an accident at South Broad Street and Second Avenue July 25 at 10:25 p.m. Adams failed a breath test with a reading of .17. Duane David Clymans, 29, of P.O. Box 191, Rock Hill Furnace, was charged with DUI July 24 at 12:47 a.m. after Officer William Seace observed his vehicle weaving on Broad Street between Second Avenue and Main Street. Clymans failed a breath test with a reading of .21. Robert Francis Stoner III, 20, of 11 W. Lexington Road, was cited for public drunkeness July 26 at 4:25 p.m. by Officer Nye. Nye had responded to 355 N. Broad St., after receiving a report of a man passed out in the yard. When he arrived, he found Stoner in an intoxicated condition and took him into custody. Cynthia Hummer, 318 Linden St. (rear), called police July 28 to report that someone had taken a pair of white slacks from her clothesline. The slacks were valued at $42. Officer Nye is conducting the investigation. Bernice Edtmiller, 203 N. Locust St., called police July 23 to report the theft of two diamond rings and a watch from a locked gun case in her home. Officer Charles Shenenberger is conducting the investigation into the theft which is thought to have occurred prior to July 3. Officer Nye is investigating the theft of a registration plate, Pennsylvania 9CBOD, from a Kawasaki motorcycle owned by Robert H. Moon Jr., 7 Ranck Lane. The theft occurred during the period July 26-27. Two 14-year-old males have been cited for retail theft by Officer Shenenberger. Kyle Awkerman, of Bicycle World, 747 S. Broad St., told Shenenberger that the youths had been in the store July 22 and when they were ready to leave, it was discovered that they had attempted to conceal four pairs of bike shorts under their outer shorts. Winifred M. Pinkerton, 62, of 310 Linden St., sustained abrasions and bruises to the chest area as a result of a one-vehicle accident July 25 at 4:10 p.m. at East Second Avenue and Linden Street. Officer Nye reported that Pinkerton had pulled her vehicle onto Second Avenue from Linden Street to head west. The driver’s side door opened and while Pinkerton was attempting to close the door, the car continued in a turning movement until it struck a tree at 25-27 E. Second Ave. Pinkerton was transported to Lancaster General Hospital by Warwick Ambulance. Marian L. Shatto, 316 S.
