Boyack spreads love of Gospel Warwick graduate spends two years in South Africa DIANE NIXDORF Record Express Staff Darren Boyack is a dedicated young man. For two full years, he put his college career on hold to minister in the tribal homelands, Indian enclaves and white suburbs of South Africa. “I wanted to go ever since I was a little boy,” said Boyack. “And as I grew older I realized the importance of what it really was.” Through his sharing of the Gospel, he delivered an inspirational message of hope and peace. An active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Boyack eagerly took advantage of the opportunity to serve on a fulltime missions trip. The church encourages young men to spend two years in the mission field upon tum-ing 19. “I gained a lot of security through what the church has taught me," he said. A 1990 graduate of Warwick High School, Boyack was a sophomore at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah when he made the decision to venture, for the first time, outside of the United States. In preparation for the trip, Boyack spent two weeks at the Missionary Training Center in Utah. “We learned how to teach people,” he said. “It really prepared me mentally and spiritually.” Leaving his family, friends and homeland behind, Boyack left for South Africa on March 25, 1992. After a long, tiring day-and-a-half of travel, he found himself in the unfamiliar land that he called his home for two years. One of 15 young Americans with the Durban Mission, Boyack vividly (Turn to Page 21) Elizabeth planners survey residents Goin9 Fishin9 ROB HELLER Record Express Staff The Elizabeth Township Planning Commission wants to know how the township citizens feel about the proposed comprehensive plan. At the planning commission’s meeting Monday night, the planning commissiion passed a motion to distribute a survey to every household in the township. The main objectiveof the planning commission at this meeting was to discuss possible survey questions and to put together a quality finished product. Members of the commission drafted questions prior to the meeting and discussed them at the meeting. “We want to know the opinions of the township residents as a whole as to what the future land plan should look like,” said one member of the planning commission. The way the citizens respond to this survey will “definitely” have an impact on land use for the next 20 years, officials said. The survey is comprised of 22 questions, with the last three specifically designed for those citizens owning farms with more than 50 acres.. The planning commission last conducted a survey about 18 months ago and had a more than 50 percent response rate,1 One commission rriember suggested that this response could be even higher. Elizabeth Township citizens should expect to receive the survey in their mail sometime in early May. The questionnaire is currently being worked on by the planning commission and should be sent to the printer this week. The next regular meeting of the planning commission will be held Wednesday May 4 at 7 p.m. It is a public meeting, and everyone is welcome to attend. f f e i g s t ;r ; P i ■ . . «3 * •* J» ^ ■*». t wmm - Photo by Bruce Morgan TROUT SEASON BEGINS— Fishermen flocked to their favorite fishing holes as trout season opened last Saturday, April 16. T aking advantage of the pleasant weather late Monday afternoon, friends Tim Bolton, T.J. Badorf, and Mike Bonfanti patiently wait for a bjte while fishing in Lititz Run. District faces tough battle with budget Tw o-digit ta x in crease p ossib le CONNIE BUCKWALTER Record Express Staff Faced with almost $2 million in increased expenditures for the 1994-95 school year, the Warwick School District is bracing itself for a tough budget experience. District superintendent Dr. John R. Bonfield warned during Tuesday night’s school board meeting that it may be difficult to keep the tax increase out of the “two digit range.” Last year the district raised the school tax 4.5 mills to its current 66 mill rate. Major factors contributing to the increased expenses include the addition of $800,000 for debt associated with the construction of the new elementary school, $750,000 for increases in professional salaries, $150,000 for increases in other salaries and $300,000 for other costs associated with opening the new school. The increase in expenses comes at a time when there is only a “modest” overall increase in the tax base and no increase in state support, Bonfield said. Previous to 1991, the state would probably have appropriated an additional $300,000 to $400,000 to the district each year, Bonfield said. Instead, that money has had to come directly from district taxpayers, he said. In looking at the budget, Bonfield said the district seeks to maintain the high quality of the educational programs while being fair to the residents of the community. Before adopting the budget, which is in the process of (Turn to Page 23) Ambulance volunteers give life CONNIE BUCKWALTER Record Express Staff The Warwick Ambulance Association serves people in emergency situations — a time when individuals can least help themselves. Donations from local individuals, clubs and companies help to keep the vital service up and running year after year. In addition to the volunteer contributions of time and money, the Warwick Ambulance Association is also a service of the Lititz AMBUCS club. AMBUCS Président Mac Sapovits serves as the ambulance association’s assistant business manager. Currently, the ambulance coips have about 28 unpaid volunteers who take turns serving the community 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Secretary/treasurer Don Coble said that number is about 10 volunteers short of what the association would like to have. The toughest times to get people to be on call is during the day on weekdays and on weekends. Weekdays are tough because many people work first shift, Coble said. Also, some volunteers gradually Build families or move away — again diminishing the numbers. In 1990, the corps made a move that ensured non-stop service when they hired their first paid driver. Earlier this year they hired a second paid driver on an as-needed basis. Figures from 1993 indicate that the ctxps received an average of about three calls a day— totalling about 1,405 a year. For the past several years, that figure has continued to inch upward. Being a volunteer for the ambulance crew does not necessarily require hours of specialized training, Coble said. Besides needing people to serve on the emergency crews, Coble said they could use volunteers to help with routine transports. Transport volunteers take people to where they need to go for medical tests or examinations. Having people on call specifically for transports helps to free up the trained emergency personnel for life-and-death situations, Coble said. Transport volunteers are trained in necessary, basic life support skills — not the more intensive training ambulance- volunteers must go through. In order to volunteer in any capacity, individuals must be at least 18 years of age. A good mix of men and women give of their time to be volunteers, Coble said. Coble said that some people are afraid of what they can expect to encounter as an ambulance volunteer, but he said that the training helps to prepáre people for the various situations. The training, skills and knowledge gained from being an ambulance association volunteer can also be applied on personal level. Volunteers must be certified in CPR (cardio-pulmonary rescusitation) and at least one of the following three areas, First Responder, EMT or Emergency Response. Memhers of the Ambulance Association Board of Directors include Charles Eshelman, Ron Sandhaus, Jim Wynkoop, Bill Charles, Rich France and Mike Lavery. Sapovits is the president To find out more information about what it takes to become an ambulance volunteer, call the ambulance office at 627-0143. ■M! ¡ ■ I Æ- L :.> I:• -•; HJ I sill - * ■ : í » « - « ■ .
