Local organizations p la n Easter Egg H unts Local children can enjoy an egg-ceptional variety of Easter Egg Hunts this weekend. Several were brought to the attention of the Lititz Record Express. They include: • St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church is sponsoring an Easter Egg hunt for children ages 0 through 10 at the Penryn Picnic Grove at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 10. The raindate is April 17. • Lititz Lions Club will host its annual egg hunt on Saturday, April 10 at 10:30 a.m. at various locations at the Warwick High School. The five groups and their locations are: Ages 1 &2, the circle in front of the high school; Ages 3 & 4, outfield of the baseball diamond; Ages 5-7, practice football field; Ages (T u rn to Page 15) Record Express Staff Borough Council members approved the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance at a recent meeting as well as discussed problems with storm water and sludge. An ad hoc committee had been meeting twice a month since September to develop a new Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance for the borough. In the process, the committee decided that a separate ordinance for storm water management was needed to regulate special situations that are not under the jurisdiction of the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance. The approved ordinance provides criteria for land development projects and subdivision in the borough. Procedures for processing plans, legal action, and submittal guidlines are included. The ordinance also outlines technical requirements for designing streets, parking lots, sidewalks, curbs, street lights, lots, right-of-ways, monuments, landscaping and other activities that would require design standards. The borough is still in the process of reviewing the Storm Water Management Ordinance. Storm water was also a central topic during the council meeting. Due to the abundance of rain and snow this year, excess water, possibly from rainspouts and sump pumps is infiltrating into the borough’s sewer system causing an increased amount of sludge. Jeff Doutrich of ST Environmental Services said that residents who have downspouts should discharge water onto the street or land surface. “In the long run it will keep then-sewer bills low,” he said. Doutrich also requested that 600,000 gallons of sludge be dewatered to make room for the increased amount of sewage. Currently, the borough is dewatering sludge and taking it to a compost company in Manheim. The problem, however, is that the borough has only limited funds for dewatering and compost. Council President Russell Pettyjohn proposed two short term goals: raising the sewage rate to pay for dewatering and trying to get more farmers to apply sludge on their fields’. (Turn to Page 7) Historical foundation slates flower show and garden tour CONNIE BUCKWALTER Record Express Staff As sure as April showers bring ay flowers, the Lititz Historical Foundation will host its second annual Garden Tour in June. This year the foundation decided to add a colorful, botanic twist to the tour — a flower arrangement show. The show, open to both professionals and amateurs — will occur at the same time as the tour. Arrangers will display their floral creations at The Lititz Museum, Mueller House and the Mary Dixon Chapel at Linden Hall. “I think the diversity of what we hope will be entered will draw people,” said Portia A. Bowman, cochair of the event. The foundation will accept between 50 and 60 entrants for the show. There is no entry fee. Judging will be done by people attending the show, who will cast a vote for their favorite arrangement. The four designs receiving the most votes will receive ribbons. Bowman said the foundation will accept entrants from inside and outside the Lititz area. Guidelines for the show include: no artificial flowers, dried materials — that had been live — are acceptable, potted flowers or plants can be used, more than one person can help assemble a single entry and entrants do not have to grown their own materials. The committee will choose locations for the arrangements.

Arrangments should be placed in the assigned place on Sunday, June 13 between 10 a.m. and noon. For those people who don’t possess a green thumb or a creative mind — but can appreciate those who do — the show will be presented as part of the garden tour. For $5 individuals can enjoy the lovely combinations of all varieties of flowers in the garden tour and flower arrangement show. Almost 400 people bought tickets for last year’s garden tour. Mary Sweger, who is in charge of the tour, said the foundation hopes to sell 600 tickets this year. (Turn to Page 15) CONNIE BUCKWALTER Record Express Staff The Warwick community is a terrific place to raise children — and parents and local officials are determined to keep it that way. Early this week, officials from Warwick Township, Lititz Borough and the school district endorsed a new grassroots anti-drug and alcohol initiative. Called “The Parents Connection for Kid’s Protection,” Lititz resident Sally A. Grigg initiated the idea for parents to work in a group in conjunction with police and schools for the protection of children. Her friend, B liz z a r d e f f e c t s a r e d is c u s s e d b y su p e r v is o r s LISA ECKEL ____________ _ Record Express Staff The Blizzard of ’93 dominated the Board of Supervisors meeting Monday night at Elizabeth Township. The snowstorm cost the township $4,938 which included costs for fuel, parts and repairs, road salt and stone. “We got away kind of lucky really,” said supervisor Larry Wiker. Wiker added that the township might be reimbursed for the money spent on the storm through the Federal government because Pennsylvania was declared a disaster area. The township could possibly receive 75 cents to each dollar spent. Wjker also extended thanks to road crews for their hard work during the storm. In addition, he expressed a thank you to the many Elizabeth Township residents who called during the storm to ask when their roads would be cleared. He added that their patience was greatly appreciated by the township. One important discovery that came about as a result of the storm was the need for two new radios for township equipment. “We weren’t able to talk to workers during ths storm,” said Wiker. The supervisors discussed various types of radios from walkie talkie models, to those that could be mounted inside a truck. A hand held radio would cost the tqwnship $520, Wiker said. No decision had been made about the purchase of the radios. Brenda Rhoads, has worked closely with her on the endeavor. The first of what Grigg hopes will be a continuing series of monthly meetings is scheduled for May 1 from 7-9 p.m. in the Warwick Township Municipal Building. In a strong showing of solidarity, officials met Monday afternoon at the Warwick School District offices to announce their unified support for Grigg’s project. “We want to mobilize the whole community in this fight against drugs and alcohol,” said Dr. John R. Bonfield, Warwick superintendent. Lititz Mayor Roy Clair expressed similar sentiment, “The greater community needs to get involved sooner or later. If it isn’t sooner, it’ll be later.” “The Parents Connection for the Kid’s Protection” intends to encourage all parents to become involved in the fight for their children’s welfare. Children today face temptation and peer pressure around every corner, Grigg said. As teens try to find a niche, they may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol and other inappropriate behaviors. Grigg’s is the voice of experience. A recovering alcholic, she recognizes the behaviors that often lead children down the wrong path. Three of her own children have also exhibited at-risk behavior. All of these combined experiences and her strong belief in God encouraged her to start the connection. She now works as a therapist for Recovery Unlimited, which provides counseling for recovery. “I know the feelings of loneliness that lead to using the drugs or alcohol or seeking out the ‘wrong’ influences in our lives because we think they care or we relate or we feel as though we ‘fit in,”’ she said in a written statement. The police and the schools can only do so much, Grigg acknowledges. By the time police get involved with children, it’s often too late, she said. “Parents need to take a more aggressive role. We can cross boundaries where police aren’t able to,” Grigg said. “They really don’t want to arrest these kids.” The police are more than willing to cooperate in helping youths, said Warwick Township Police Chief Alfred O. Olsen and Lititz Borough Police Chief James S. Fritz along with representatives from their two departments. Olsen said that unlike some other anti-drug and alcohol groups, this one may not phase out as parents lose interest when their children graduate because the police and the schools will serve as the unchanging anchors.
