TH E RESS SERVING THE WARWICK AREA FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY 112th Year One Section ESTABLISHED APRIL 1877 AS THE SUNBEAM CONSOLIDATED WITH THE LITITZ RECORD 1937 Lititz, Lancaster County PA, 17543. Thursday, April 6, 1989 30 CENTS A COPY $9.50 PER YEAR BY MAIL WITHIN LANCASTER COUNTY 22 Pages- No. 52 After 12 years storage shed will be built By Jed Kensinger Record-Express Staff Writer After 12 years of intermittent discussion, Elizabeth Township su p e rv iso rs awarded a contract Monday night for construction of a salt shed. Brecknock Builders, Denver Rl, was awarded a contract to build a 36-foot by 40-foot frame shed to store the township’s supply of road salt at a cost of $15,080. Construction is expected to begin shortly, the supervisors said. The supervisors were pleased with the cost estimate, which board chairman Larry Wiker remarked, “is a far cry from the previous bid.” Last fall, the supervisors rejected a bid to have the shed constructed at a cost of $52,800. Since that time, a concrete foundation has been built at the site of the proposed shed,; which is adjacent to the township office. Groffdale Poured Walls constructed the foundation late last year at a cost of $3,800. Salt and cindering materials were previously stored on the ground behind the municpal building. Last year, Wiker said he was convinced that the location of the salt pile was causing a high concentration of sodium in the municipal building’s well water. The well water, in fact, tested high for sodium content. Newspaper files at the Record indicate the on-again, off-again debate about the construction of a (Turn to Page 14) Marc Geyer, 10-year-old son of Colleen and Phil Geyer of 564 Hackman Road, gets a participation trophy from Jae C.

Township seeks comments for developing plan Karate grand master applauds program for special people Warwick Township is seeking public participation in updating its comprehensive plan at a town meeting to be held at 7:30 p.m. April 17 at the Warwick Middle School. The comprehensive plan, which coordinates land use, population growth, economic development; public utilities and services with local goals and objectives, will take about a year to complete. Harry Roth, project consultant from die firm of Gehringer-Roth Associates, Lancaster, emphasizes the importance of gaining input so that the plan can reflect local needs. “Then,” he states, “a set of planning goals will be developed for use throughout the rest of the study.” Local officials hope that the meeting will be well-attended and productive, and note that other local government issues, besides the proposed comprehensive plan, will be addressed in the public forum. Anyone who cannot attend this town meeting is encouraged to send written comments to the Warwick Township Office, 315 Clay Road, Lititz, 17543. Additional public meeting will be conducted as the comprehensive plan project continues. By Jed Kensinger Record-Express Staff Writer Jae Chul Shin, grandmaster and president of the World Tang Soo Do Association, made a special visit to Lititz last week. The grandmaster, who has trained more than 3,000 blackbelts, including Chuck Norris, presented participation trophies to 15 members of the Association of Retarded Citizens — Lancaster. The awards ceremony was held Wednesday night at the Lititz Tang Soo Do School of Karate. ARC members have been taking a karate course there for the past three months. Recher, instructor and owner of the Lititz studio, has cooperated with ARC in sponsoring the unique program. Recher provided the services of a staff and coordinated volunteers to assist him in leading the karate classes. The karate grand master presented Recher with a commendation. Lancaster karate master John Beam said that a commendation is the highest honor a blackbclt can receive. Recher presented Shin with an appreciation award for his support. He also presented his volunteers with certificates of appreciation. Volunteers are David Hull, Robert Miller, Matt Geyer and Kathy Recher. “This is very meaningful tonight,” Shul said, after presenting the trophies to the participants. Recher’s program for people with mental retardation, Shul noted, is only the second such program he’s ever known. The other program for people with mental handicaps was held in Scranton. Physically handicapped programs are available at many places, Shul said. However, the most difficult handicap for a karate participant would be a mental one, he said. “I believe c< nr-mlration and disciplinary training is beneficial to mentally handicapped people,” he said. He credited Recher for the patience and effort necessary to sponsor the program. He commended Recher for upholding the association’s virtue of supporting the spiritual and physical benefits of individuals without financial gain. “Bob Recher demonstrates that virtue and I highly commend his endeavor and result. That’s why I eame here,” Shin said. After observing the students in action, Shin said he was impressed with the “I can do it” attitude of Rcchcr’s students. Bom in Seoul, Shin has been actively involved in karate for 42 years. He now lives in Philadelphia. As grand master, he is responsible for overseeing the World Tang Soo Do Assocaition, which draws members from 22 countries. Water option approved by twp. authority By Dave Knauss Record-Express Editor Warwick Township is one meeting away from an agreement by which it would be allocated a total of700,000 gallons of water a day. Tuesday night, the Warwick Township Municipal Authority voted 4-0 to accept Option B of a proposal by the Lititz Borough Council, said Ron Nuss, operations manager for the authority. The authority has binding decisionmaking power on water and sewer matters for the township. Under this option, the township would pay for a new pump and gas generator at the borough water plant and receive an additional 476,OCX) gallons of water a day. Cost of the pump and generator—which would allow 3 million gallons a day to be treated and pumped at the plant — is estimated at $110,000. Also under the option, water rates for township users (Turn to Page 22) Nuss division okayed by town planners By Dave Knauss Record-Express Editor On Tuesday night the Lititz Planning Commission approved a 44-lot preliminary subdivision plan for the Nuss estate tract in the borough. With the stipulation that four conditions be met by the developer, the commission will now recommend approval of the subdivision plan to the Lititz Borough Council.* The council will deal with the matter at the Feb. 25 meeting, said borough Business Manager Sue Barry. These are the four conditions to be met, said Barry: • Redesign or straighten the continuation of South Cedar St. • Relocate the Montgomery House from the tract, or have the house otherwise removed from the right of way. • Continue sidewalks on the east side of South Cedar Street. All sidewalks, curbs and streets are be provided by the developer. • Ensure maximum space between the house existing next to Lot 15 and the living space of the house that will be built on that lot, for maximum privacy. The Nuss Estate has proposed 44 residential lots on the 22.5-acre tract in the southeastern part of the borough, said Borough Business Manager Sue Barry. Two sizes of lots are proposed: 12,500 and 8,400 square feet. Currently, the Nuss Estate is the sole owner and deve- (Turn to Page 2 2) Laotian refugee enjoys artistic freedom By Jed Kensinger Record-Express Staff Writer Phong Ninnasopha understands freedom. In America, Phong is able to express himself freely through art, something that might have been restricted in his native country. His poster of an incarcerated POW/MIA soldier behind bamboo bars, which has won him numerous awards in the United States, might have been enough to put him behind bars in the country he left in 1979. Although the 18-year-old Manheim Central senior was just a youngster when his family moved to America from their native Laos, he knew something was awry in his homeland. “The thing that brought us here was the Vietnam War,” he says. Political unrest and government persecution continued when his family left. People who disagreed with the government were taken away to camps without the public’s knowledge, Phong says. The government was coercing people to do things that they didn’t want to do, Phong says. “But I was so young at the time that I didn’t realize everthing that was happening.” Family members have told him that children were being brainwashed in the schools. The Ninnasopahas were not considered boat people, he explains. The family left under better conditions than those who were uprooted several years prior to their departure. “At least, all our family are here,” he says. He lives with his mother and father, 21-year-old brother and nine year-old sister. Some people were not so lucky. One of his friends came with an older sister. Until recently, the friend had not seen his father. The father recently came to visit, indicating things have changed for the better in Laos, he says. “Things have calmed down,” Phong says. In fact, some Laotians, people who are homesick, are returning now. But for Phong, America is home. After all, he’s lived more than half his life here. His immediate family and friends are here. Eventually, he hopes he can visit his aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents, all of whom remain in Laos. Assimilation, however, has not been without obstacles. He had to learn English. When he was a junior high school student, Phong’s family moved to Manheim from Boyertown, where a church sponsored his family. Moving to Manheim was tough, Phong says, because he had to adapt to a new environment again. Phong says he has met new people through his involvement in soccer and interests in art. Apparently, Phong has adjusted well to all the changes. His classmates recently elected him as Manheim Central’s representative for the Good Citizen Award, sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Shocked by the award, he says, “I never thought I had that many friends.” When he looked through the names of seniors nominated for the award, he didn’t notice his name on the list, “i voted for someone else,” he says. “I just considered myself a regular student,” Phong admits. In art, however, he’s proven himself to be an exceptional student. His art work is going places. A portfolio and three of his single pieces are in New York for the national judging of the Scholastic Art Awards competition. In addition to the three finalist awards, Phong won seven gold keys and had 13 pieces accepted in the Lancaster County Scholastic Art Awards competition. His portfolio was among the four from the region selected for the national competition. He also won two special awards. The POW/MIA poster is a pencil drawing which previously placed first in a local poster contest. Paul E. Pinkerton, an organizer of the Lancaster-Lebanon POW/ MIA organization, got Phong’s permission to reproduce the design on t-shirts and sweatshirts, which local people wore to a rally in Washington, D.C. The design was so popular that it is being used nationwide, says Bea Kreiner, Phong’s art teacher. Mrs. Kreiner says Phong works hard at realism and has an eye for Oriental culture. Dragons and mythological characters, even symbols from the Laotian language, have played an important role in Phong’s work. “The thing I enjoy the most is fantasy-type illustrations,” Phong says. “I like to dream a lot, create some- (Turn to Page 18) ■ & Photo by Jed Kensinger Phong Ninnasopha expresses himself through art work.
