T H U R S D A Y , J a n u a r y 2 1 , 1 9 9 3 Lititz Record Express 116TH YEAR Two sections LITITZ, PENNSYLVANIA 26 Pages- No. 40 30 cents Concession p ro fit sharing gets nixed by HS p u p il group JENNIFER KOPF ________________ _______ L ititz Record News Editor Whenever someone purchases a candy bar, a Coke or a hot dog from the concession stand during an athletic event, the after-expense profits go to the senior class. A plan to change that arrangement met with some resistance last week, as nearly two dozen high school students attended a Student Activities Committee meeting to ask the alterations be reconsidered. Composed primarily of seniors, the group contended that the money is all needed by the senior class, and that the proposal for re-allocating the funds would be devisive. Many were concerned that the profits would be shared with a newly formed Athletic Department Fund, and that those monies would only work to the benefit of athletes, not the student body as a whole. Currently, for every dollar taken in by the concession stands, the senior ¿ass must cover the operational expenses — an amount that hovers around 50 percent. The remainder is split: half goes toward helping to reduce the cost of the senior class trip for those who work at the stand, the other half to class expenses and the purchase of a class gift for the school. As proposed by Athletic Director Terry Kauffman and High School Principal Fred Cummins, the profits would be split differently: after the operating expenses were deducted, half would go to the senior class and half to a new athletic fund. That fund would cover several new initiatives, and one existing program: • A Warwick Student-Athlete Scholarship program, with funds available to student who meet certain criteria, for example, two-sport athletes with a minimum GPA of 3.5; • A student-athlete spring banquet, honoring all athletes. This currently is held on a funds-available basis by the Varsity Club, according to Kauffman; some banquets are also sponsored by individual teams; ■ MVP awards, now paid for by each team and sometimes not awarded because of lack of funds; and • Championship awards, to be presented to winners of league, district, section or state titles. Presently, these are paid for by individual parents’ groups or teams, and the students’ awards are based on these groups’ ability to pay. Finally, limited financial assistance would be available to the Varsity Club. “We felt money (raised at athletic event food sales) should be coming back to the athletes,” Kauffman told the committee. As proposed, naif of what the athletic department would earn would go toward scholarships. It would also make sense, he said, to cover the expense of awards in this way. “I hate to go to the (school) board and ask for money for awards,” he said.‘T '’ rather see it put in education... I’d rather see (the money) come from the concision stand, rather than the school budget.” This would also, he said, free athletes from spending time raising funds and make them available for more student-related activities, especially working with students in the younger grades. The profit funds, he said, would be overseen by an operating panel which would include four permanent members: the high school principal, the athletic director, a Varsity Club advisor and a Student Activity Committee member. Two-year terms would be served by one boys’ varsity sport head coach, and one girls’ varsity sport head coach. Students, however, were present to voice concern that this senior class, and others, cannot afford to lose this income. With the rising cost of going on senior class trips, they said, earning financial credit through working the concession stand is crucial to whether some students will go or stay home. According to Bree Derr, class officer, the Class of 1993 “is already in the hole” in its bank account. Of the $7,829 now in the account, she said, $6,833 is earmarked for the trip. There are another $1,632 in outstanding expenses. Senior Brita Snyder told the committee that, if this is put into effect this year, it will be too late for the Class of 1993 to make other fund-raising arrangements to make up the difference. Students also said the requirement that the scholarship recipient(s) be two-sport athletes, rather than two-activity students, is unfair.

The road was closed most of the morning forcing travelers to find an alternate route to work and school. » V - V S * ■* f ? *■ At • ■£ " .- ..i f, i * ■*.*&<> -T —i f ■A ' \ * r f - * ’ * ' K — " s . 4 - Photo by Kathryn Koncle Jan Wynkoop and Jim Nuss hang out on one of the current pieces of play equipment in the park. ‘Our Kids Turn’ in Lititz Springs Park KATHRYN KONCLE Record Express Staff Children of all ages will appreciate the Lititz Springs Park’s most recent project. It’s called “Our Kids Turn”, and is sure to be a major point of attraction come summer. Park directors have officially begun a fundraising drive with a goal of $40,000 to reconstruct the playground area within the park. Included in the new and improved playground is a tot lot with tunnels, slides and areas to climb, a junior high, teenage hang-out, and an adult fitness area complete with seven to 10 different stretching exercise stations. Publicity and committee chair Jan Wynkoop said park officials wanted to meet the needs of all age groups. “We felt the kids deserved a place to call their own,” she explained. The way the new playground will be designed will also allow an entire family to play together. “We wanted an open kind of playground,” Wynkoop said. The park conducted a casual survey of local residents who suggested this kind of a play area set-up. Wynkoop said results from the survey also showed that people pre-fered a traditional kind of playground as opposed to a “Leather” playground, the more modem and popular facility designed by Robert Leather. But reconditioning the playground will cost money, possibly lots of it. Wynkoop said play pieces are very expensive and buying them will depend on the amount of funds the park can raise. Another major expense is remulching the area once the playground is ready for use. “If we raise more, we’ll do more,” she said. She explained that some of the equipment currently being used doesn’t meet safety codes and therefore will need to be removed. (Turn to Page 18) Grinches steal Santas and lights KATHRYN KONCLE Record Express Staff Many area residents show their holiday spirit by adorning their properties with Christmas lights and decorations, Unfortunately, every year the Lititz area falls victim to grinches who steal these festive decorations and smash light strands. According to Lititz Police Chief James Fritz, the first incident was reported on Dec. 5 with the last one reported on Dec. 26. During the Christmas season, a total of $120 worth of holiday items, including a four to five-foot plywood Santa, a Christmas manger scene and a three-foot Santa, were damaged or taken. The plywood Santa was later recovered in the CR’s Friendly Market parking lot by Warwick Township police. “This has gone on every year,” Fritz explained. “It was probably about the same (the number of cases) as last year.” But as decoration prices increase, so does the amount of the loss. Warwick Township police reported three incidents which took place on Dec. 6, 15 and 22 in three separate neighborhoods. Detective Ed Tobin said Christmas lights were taken from properties on Buttonwood Drive and Sherry Lane and lights and lawn ornaments were taken from a residence on Landis Valley Road. Tobin believes those involved with the vandalism are not purposely stealing the decorations for their own use. “It’s more like kids being mischievous,” he explained. Zoning board gives OK on school plan KATHRYN KONCLE__________ _______ ___________ __________ Record Express Staff The Warwick School District moved one step closer to building a new elementary school at Monday night’s Lititz Borough Zoning Hearing Board meeting. School district officials were requesting that a special exception to the zoning ordinance be granted for the construction of a public school and school-related facilities on the R-l zoned, 26.95-acre Wrigley track located in the northeast corner of Oak and Front streets. School Superintendent Dr. John Bonfield said the district had originally indentified six or seven possible sites for the new school with each site evaluated by “a high priority on the neighborhood concept.” Bonfield explained the Wrigley site meets the neighborhood criteria, fits with existing schools, is accessible, facilitates growth and fits in with the park and recreation plans of both Warwick Township and Lititz Borough. The new elementary school would serve as a “collector school,” where a large number of students could walk and those from Rothsville could attend the same school. Currently, Rothsville students are split between going to Lititz Elementary and Kissel Hill. Bonfield said, with the students walking, between $30,000 and $40,000 could be saved in transportation expenses. “Time is of the essence,” Bonfield testified. “We needed the school two years ago.” Rick Jackson, of Herbert, Rowland and Grubic Inc. of Lancaster, said the proposed school building would only take up a maximum of 25 percent of the land, with the rest being used as a recreation area. The one-story, 93,000 square-foot building will house 27 classrooms, three special education rooms and three kindergarten rooms with the possibility for future expansion of six additional classrooms. Front Street would serve as the main access where buses, teachers and students would enter the school, and Oak Street would accomodate traffic to the service areas of the school. Two combination baseball and soccer fields and one all-purpose field will be located behind the building. Jackson said studies indicate that construction of the school would in no way negatively impact the soil on the tract. He said construction of the fields would improve floodplain areas on the property. “The school will adaptively re-use the floodplain area,” he stated. Zoning board chairman A1 Olah asked Jackson about the traffic. Jackson compared the residential traffic and school traffic on the site. If the tract served as a residential community about 1,120 trips to and from the site would occur during a weekday. A school with 850 students, on the other hand, would produce only 927 trips daily. Following some discussion about parking, the board granted the exception.
