The couples, Photo by John Tropp who celebrate each anniversary together, join together here after the ceremony last weekend when the Bortzes reaffirmed their wedding vows. ‘Golden’ couples mark 50 years, celebrate anniversaries together By Becky Collins Record-Express News Editor Harold and Florence Bortz, 202 Oxford Drive, were married again last weekend. Actually, the Bortzes reaffirmed wedding vows made a half-century ago Saturday at St. Luke’s United Church of Ctirisl. This time, however, they weren’t alone with the pastor. Instead, they were wed before their families and friends in a church ceremony complete wilh attendants and a reception at the Holiday Inn. Romance was in the air on April 8,1939. It was the day that Harold married Florence for the first time, culminating a courtship of 3'A years. It was also the day that Frank and Laura Bucher, 2160 Main St., Rothsville, eloped to Virginia. On that day, Roy and Helen Davidson, 635 S. Spruce St., said their “I do’s” in front of the late Rev. James Moore at the parsonage of the Lititz. Church of the Brethren. Henry and Alda Hufford, 122 Academy Drive, Ephrala, were married in the United Methodist church in Rothsville by the late Wesley Martin on the same day. Fifty years later, all four couples are grandparenis>and all are still happily married. Together, they have formed an exclusive anniversary club of sorts and meet eacn Apiti 8 to celebrate their common anniversaries. Soon after their wedding, Harold and Florence set up (Turn to Page 17) Rothsville water goes on line By Becky Collins Record-Express News Editor Five hundred Rothsville homeowners now have 90 days to connect to a new # public water system at a cost of $1,200 per household. Warwick Township’s supervisors approved notification of residents by certified mail last week, inform-' ing them of the requirements , and cost for hooking up with the system. According to Ron Nuss, operations manager for the Warwick Township Municipal Authority, each home-owner will pay a $550 tapping fee, a $600 connection 500 residents to receive water connection notices fee and $50 for a meter yoke assembly. An additional $25 permit fee will be charged for homes currently under construction. The quarterly charge for the minimum water usage will be $61 for 15,000 gallons of water. Additional costs will be incurred for consumption above the minimum. Nuss oversaw the installation of 24,325 feet of six-inch water main in the village of Rothsville, a project that began last August. He . reported Monday that the mains and laterals for the system have been laid, an 80-foot standpipe is in place and the well house is nearly completed. “The job went very well,” Nuss observed. “All we need is an electrical panel for the pump and then we can test the lines,” he added. He reported that the authority could open the spigot providing public water to die village early next month. The addition of 500 customers in the Rothsville area brings the customer base of the authority up to 1,150. Currently 650 residential and business customers are supplied with water from Lititz by the authority. The Rothsville system will operate on the township’s first public well. The authority also operates waste water lines for a large portion of the township bordering Lititz borough. The township supervisors also got a first-hand look at elevations for a new municipal building. Gregory Scott, (Turn to Page 10) Recycling is coming to borough By Dave Knauss Record-Express Editor Residents of Lititz, get to know your food and beverage containers better. Come January of 1991, you’ll be recycling them. That’s the month when Lititz Borough will start its new trash collection contract as well as its new state-mandated recycling program. Consumers will have to set aside tin and steel food cans, aluminum cans, glass containers, and hopefully newspapers, according to Jim Warner, recycling manager of the Lancaster County Solid Waste Authority. The state passed a law last July stating that all municipalities of more than 5,000 people in the Commonwealth must start recycling by 1991. It won’t be voluntary. The Lititz Borough ordinance will include penalties for those not cooperating. However, Warner notes that, like with every law, the penalties will only be as good as enforcement. Only about 15 percent of Litilz residents are currently participating in the curbside recycling program of the Water Street Rescue Mission in Lancaster, Warner says. But he expects that to change in Lititz, perhaps go up to 70 percent, as it is in Mountville. The Solid Waste Authority set up a pilot project in that community last June and now the borough has a three-contract for a hauler to take away trash and recyclables. Mount Joy and Marietta have similar three-year contracts. Recycling will be easier and more common in Lititz because residents will get into the habit of placing their recyclables out on the curb every week — along with the trash, Warner explains. Now, it’s once a month for Water Street. To boot, all residents will receive from the Solid Waste Authority nice, rigid, colorful receptacles to put their cans and botttles in. In Lititz one trash hauler will contract with the borough to collect trash and recyclable materials, says Sue Barry, borough business manager. The borough (Turn to Page 1:0) Council approves hike in township water quota By Dave Knauss Record-Express Editor An agreement between Lititz Borough and Warwick Township to allocate a total of 700,000 gallons of water a day to township users is in the works. Tuesday night Lititz Borough Council voted 5-0 to include Option B in a new contract to be made with the township. The option, approved a week before by the Warwick Township Municipal Authority, gives the township another 476,000 gallons of water — making the total 700,000—providing the township pays for die new pump and gas generator that will make the extra allocation possible In its vote, the council moved to have its attorney do research for a contract on the agreement. The contract will then have to be signed by representatives of the borough and township to take effect. Following that, bids will be solicited for the new pump and generator. This second high-lift pump and gas generator — which would allow 3 million gallons a day to be treated and pumped at the borough water plam—are estimated to cost a iota: of SI 10,000. Also under Option B, existing rates paid by township users of Lititz public water would remain the same, although rates would increase as new facilities are added, such as the nitrate-removal equipment planned by the borough council. (Turn to Page 4) Sports complex costs $1 million, plans for new stadium shelved By Jed Kensinger Record-Express Staff Writer A new recreational area and sports complex for Warwick School District has been estimated to cost $1 million, bqt concern over costs has shelved plans to build a new football stadium. The existing football stadium would be lighted, according to a plan presented by administrators at a Committee of the Whole meeting last week. The Buch farm plan, which has not yet been approved, carries a cost of $982,000. “There’s no question the estimate is higher than we thought,” said Dr. John R. Bonfield Warwick superintendent after the meeting. But “it’s still the direction to go,” he added optimistically. “We want to be careful about funding. We want to proceed in the most cost-effective way,” Bonfield said. Due to the prohibitive costs of building a new stadium, the administration recommends several costsaving alternatives to the preliminary layout prepared by the Derek and Edson landscape architectural firm two months ago. In addition to lighting the existing stadium, Bonfield also recommends lighting a second playing field for night-time field hockey and soccer games, a proposal which was not part of the preliminary layout. “If we light the existing football field, I see no need to build a new football field for a long, long time, if ever,” he said. ■ However, a site has been (Turn to Page 4) Local fishermen reveal secrets Trout season starts this Saturday By Jed Kensinger Record-Express Staff Writer “Trout season is a symbolic gesture that indicates the real fishing is coming. It’s like buds on a tree. The actual fish is very unimportant,” says John Hanna, a Lititz angler. Hanna is one of several Lititz fishermen who recently sat around the table at Bingeman’s Restaurant to swap pre-season fishing secrets, during a mid-afternoon coffee break. This Saturday, Hanna and thousands of other anglers are heading for the water for the opening day of trout season. Next week, the gang at “Bingy’s” ought to have some pretty good fish stories. Although his favorite spot is the Delaware Bay, where he goes salt-water fishing, Hanna makes an annual pilgrimage to Perry County for the opening. day of trout season. He leaves the local area for several reasons. “Number one — you don’t have mud in the streams. Number two — you don’t have crowds of people,” Hanna explains, alluding to the fishermen who fight shoulder to shoulder for the best spot in some local streams. Streams weren’t always so ■ crowded around here. Hanna likes to reminisce about a time, several decades ago, when he and his teenage buddies camped out on the bank of the Hammer Creek, anxiously await- (Turn to Page 12) Photo by Jed Kensinger Harold Alleman, volunteer manager of the Robert B. Koch Nursery, nets a few of 5,600 trout that will be stocked by the Lititz Sportsmen’s Association in the weeks ahead. Springs Park cleanup set It’s springtime, and that means the annual Lititz Springs Park Cleanup is just around the corner. Residents of the area will ready the natural area for Summertime leisure April 22 during an allday cleanup effort. Bring your rakes, brooms and glo ves; the park board will supply the coffee. The story is on page 26. Recycling schedule Recyclable materials will be picked up in Lititz in the area south of Main Street and east of Route 501 on Wednesday, April 19. Recyclables — aluminum cans and glass containers — should be placed on the curb by 7:30 a.m. for pickup by the Water Street Rescue Mission.
