TH E RECOR RESS SERVING THE WARWICK AREA FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY 113th Year ESTABLISHED APRIL 1877 AS THE SUNBEAM CONSOLIDATED WITH THE LITITZ RECORD 1937 Lititz, Lancaster County, PA, 17543. Thursday, January 11, 1990 30 CENTS A COPY $9.50 PER YEAR BY MAIL WITHIN LANCASTER COUNTY 20 Pages- No. 40 Mishaps down, injuries up in township By Dave Knauss Record Express Managing Editor There were slightly fewer traffic accidents in Warwick Township in 1989 compared to the year before, but total injuries increased by 13 — and there were four traffic fatalities in contrast to none in 1988. The Warwick Township Police Department reports 239 accidents occurred in 1989 compared to 244 in 1988, despite continued population growth and more traffic. But injuries jumped from 95 to 108. Township Police Chief A1 Olsen has mixed feelings about these statistics. On the one hand, he is pleased about the fewer accidents, saying beefcd-up police enforcement is working. But the fatalities and the higher number of injuries “means speeding has got to be a factor” for those who do drive unsafely. Another factor, points out Officer Rick Groff, transportation safety coordinator, is more people are wearing their seat belts due to the new state law requiring their use. Consequently, the shoulder harnesses sometimes cause chest pains when accidents occur. “But it’s still worthwhile to wear seat belts,” Groff hastens to add. To wit, he cites two separate accidents in 1989 in which people died — one of them a driver and the other a passenger — who were not wearing seat belts. “I would like to see these numbers (injuries and fatalities) reduced, as well as the number of accidents,” Olsen says. One way to do that is continued enforcement of the law by his officers. And the trend has been greater enforcement. In 1988 the township police issued 587 traffic citations and in 1989 they handed out 661, Olsen says. Of that 661,369 were issued from August to December. “It’s fair to say we’ve become busy,” Olsen says. “We want to slow people down on the road. Wc don’t want to see the speeders or the drunks on the road.” He says one of the department’s goals for 1990 is to lower the accident total to below the 1985 figure of 203. That may be tough, con- (Turn to Page 11) a w n i i l S j l THE OLD AND THE NEW — Ron Nelson (right), 133 Spruce St., demonstrates the old way of clearing snow while Edward Kegel, 28 W.

Photos by Bruce Morgan Old business discussed by Lititz Council By Jennifer Kopf Record Express News Editor It was a night for tying up some loose ends, and continuing discussion on standing matters, at Tuesday’s Lititz Borough Council meeting. At that time, Council President Russell Pettyjohn announced that federal funds have been approved for a traffic light project within Lititz. The project, which at the present time has no timetable for completion, directly affects six intersections (see related story below).

The comer of Main and Cedar streets in the borough has been the site of several accidents involving vehicles in the past few months, and pedestrians have also been involved in several others, including at least one fatal accident. For years, said Borough Manager/Secretary Sue Ann Barry, Lititz has been trying to get the intersection’s safety improved, and had begun to run out of hope that state or federal funding would ever come through to help the situation. “Normally, the state doesn’t pay for lights,” Barry said. “But they do have something like a special traffic project fund, for something that’s out-of-the- (Turn to Page 4) Buckwalter re-elected chairman By Dave Knauss Record Express Managing Editor The Warwick Township supervisors are staying with their current leadership for 1990, having re-elected Irel D. Buckwalter as chairman and James N. Klopp as vice chairman at last week’s meeting. Also at the reorganiza-tional meeting, Judge Wayne Hummer of the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas administered the oath of office to newly re-elected supervisors Klopp and Michael W. Brubaker, said Township Manager Robert C. Smith. Sworn in by the judge as auditors for six-year terms were Joseph V. Stewart and Irene D. Moody. And he gave the oath of office to two new officers on the township’s police force — Dale R. Nelson and Duane E. Koons. One of them fills a newly created position, bringing the number of full-time officers to 13. The supervisors made these annual appointments: • Robert C. Smith as secretary-treasurer and township manager. • Marlene Harris as assistant secretary-treasurer. • Lester Andes' and Thomas Caskey to the municipal authority. • Richard Huxta and Dale Fetter to the planning commission. 8 W. Scott Cummings, Leighton Stover and Wilmer Burkhart to the zoning hearing board, and Ernest Forney as an alternate. • The law firm of Morgan, Hallgren, Croswell and Kane, of Lancaster, as township solicitor. • The engineering firm of Herbert, Roland, and Grub-ic, Inc., of Lancaster, as township engineer. • Glenn Nelson to the vacancy board, by which he would temporarily fill an open slot on the board of supervisors if a replacement could not be found in 30 days. • Lynn Williamson as Brickerville man loses life in a three-car accident Stephen L. “Mo” Ulrich, 31, a Brickerville cabinetmaker and volunteer fireman, died Friday morning in a fiery three-car collision on Elm R o ad in P en n Township. Three other people were injured in the 8:30 a.m. crash, including Mary Martin, 19, of 1331 Line Road, Manheim. Also injured in the crash were Linda Sherk of 207 S. Barbara St., Mount Joy, and a passenger in the Sherk vehicle, Darlene Valle, 22, of 219 Mount Joy St., Mount Joy.V alle was treated and released from Lancaster General Hospital. Martin was released from Lancaster General Hospital by Tuesday morning. An investigation by Officer Larry Snavely of the Stephen L. Ulrich Penn Township force was continuing Tuesday. Ulrich, a resident of 307 E. 28th Division Highway, was the husband of Sharon Myers Ulrich. Police reports said Ulrich was driving a small truck that collided with a van on Elm Road, just south of Bomberger’s store in Elm. The truck and van caught fire, and a car then hit she van from behind, according to police. Ulrich was identified Saturday through dental records. According to Penn Township police reports, Ulrich was driving his pickup truck south on Elm Road when he hit a slippery spot on the road on a downhill right curve and slid into the northbound lane. His truck hit the guardrail, then the northbound van driven by Martin. The impact drove the van into the guardrail on the right side of the northbound lane. A car, operated by Sherk, (Turn to Page 5) sewage enforcement officer. ° Alfred Olsen as the chief of police. • James Maser as road-master and Karl Schmidt as assistant roadmaster. In other business the supervisors approved planning modules — sewage systems — for about two homes in section four of Skyview Heights, Smith said. The modules must now get final approval by the state Department of Environmental Resources. The supervisors also accepted the dedication of Pleasant Hill Drive and Homestead Drive to the township. They are located in Wheatfield Estates Phase II.Borough to widen alleyway By Bruce Morgan Record Express Staff Writer The Lititz Borough will accomodate a potential increase in traffic along North Lane by tearing down the house located at the corner of Cedar Street and North Lane to widen the alley. Borough officials believe traffic might get heavier with the completion of renovations by Farmers First Bank to the former Morgan Paper Mill. The bank purchased the building in July of 1985 and then had it preserved and renovated to be their headquarters and operations center and to be a new home for its partner company, Susquehanna Bancs-hares, Inc.

Girl, steer are in Farm Show today Sharon Harnish taking part in baby beef competition By Dave Knauss Record Express Managing Editor When Sharon Harnish of Penn Township showed her steer Alex at the Manheim Farm Show this past fall, the animal weighed only 910 pounds. Alex placed first in his class but no better. But today Sharon is exhibiting Alex at the junior steer contest at the Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg. He now weighs 1,275 pounds. Sharon expects him to be in contention for good placing, entered through 4-H. Sharon has good reason to hope. Her steer, an Angus-Chianina cross, has qualities that catch the judge’s eye: He now has more rump and is thicker overall. He’s square in his hindquarters “where all the steaks are and other things are,” she explains. His finish is smoother and he has more style, and is cleaner. One fault he has, though, is he’s not real straight across at the top; his top dips in the middle. Win or lose, this 16-year-old Manheim Central sophomore is enjoying being at the agricultural extravaganza. Simple fact is, she loves animals. At her family’s farmette at 347 Dead End Road Sharon owns Alex-three calf steers, three horses and a beef cow. “I’m just drawn to animals,” she says. Now very active in showing horses, she was the first in her family to get involved in equestrian activities.
