Boro adopts zoning laws STEPHEN SEEBER Record Express Staff After more than a year of research, the Lititz Borough Planning Commission presented their revised zoning ordinance to the Borough Council during the Council’s monthly meeting on Tuesday night. David Bucher and James Wenger, both of the Lititz Planning Commission, along with Steven Dellinger, a planning consultant with Rettew Associates, Inc., emphasized Lititz’s industrial tradition as a borough asset that should not be overlooked. Dellinger and the Lititz Planning R/ The Lititz Fire Company is planning a 100th birthday party — and everyone is invited. Happy B irth d a y ! Lititz Fire Company 100 years as part of celebrates community CONNIE BUCKWALTER Record Express Staff Back in 1894, a group of dedicated members of the Lititz community formed the Lititz, Fire Company No. 1. Today, 100 years later, a new group of equally dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers plans a special birthday celebration. On Saturday, October 8, from noon until 4 p.m., local residents are invited to drop by the Lititz Fire Company for some free food, fire engine rides and to see the equipment. “The party is the fire company’s way of saying thank you to the community,” said Karen Kilheffer, a member of the birthday party planning committee and Lititz Fire Police secretary. She said that they will be serving free hot dogs, popcorn, cotton candy and cake in celebration of the fire company’s first 100 years. In addition, a clown will be circulating among the children and there will be face painting and balloons. The ever-popular Bouncing Castles will be in operation as well. Although the party is mostly an informal affair, there will be set times for some events. From noon until 12:30 p.m., Lititz Mayor Russell Pettyjohn and representatives from the fire company and borough council will present brief remarks. From 1-2 p.m., the Lititz Community Band will perform and at 2 p.m., everyone will be asked to sing “Happy Birthday.” Chief Jeff Siegrist said that much has changedin fire fighting technology over the past 100 years. And actually, in current times there are fewer volunteers than years ago. Siegrist explained that in the early days, the fire company served as the social hub of the community. “At one time, practically everybody in the community had a mem-bership to the fire department,” he said. (Turn to Page 15) Commission reviewed comments on the zoning update made by the Lancaster County Planning Commission and the Borough Solicitor during the Planning Commission’s Sept. 6 meeting. Phyllis Stellfox, Lancaster County Planning Commission, studied the zoning update in detail and said that she “found no real substantial issues,” other than a need for more consistency. Stellfox did point out that the floodplain ordinance should be reviewed with the current law. Most of Lititz’s industrial zone is on the floodplain. Clyde Tshudy, owner of the Sturgis Pretzel Factory, was on hand to defend Lititz’s industrial tradition. “Lititz survived the depression because of its varied industry,” he said. Bucher said that the planning commission wants to promote industrial development. “This can’t just be a bedroom community, the industrial part has valid tradition,” he said. Upon the Planning Commission’s recommendation, the Borough Council voted in favor of adopting the ordinance revisements as presented. In response to the problem of juvenile delinquency in Lititz, Mayor Russell Pettyjohn said that any problems could be dealt with more effectively by regulating the hours that youths spend in public areas without adult supervision. Pettyjohn presented the Lititz Borough Police Department’s curfew ordinance proposal to the Council, as prepared by Chief Douglas Shertzer and Sergeant Kerry Nye. The curfew ordinance distinguishes minors as people ages 16 or 17. Those under age 15 are considered to be children. Curfew will be from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., Sunday through Thursday for minors, and 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. for all children. On Fridays and Saturdays all minors must be off the streets by Midnight; children by 11 p.m. Shertzer said that there will be a (Turn to Page 13) Photo by Preston Whitcraft THE UNDISPUTED CHAMPION — Elmer Murry of Lititz did it again last Friday at the Ephrata Fair’s cow milking contest.

The final day to register and still be eligible to vote is October 11, 1994. Hoffer said it only takes 3-5 minute to complete the official form. Changes of address can also be accomodated at the same ome. WARC Committeepersons and volunteers wjll be on hand at the registration sites to assist and answer questions about the registration pioctss. According to Karen Axe, director of the Lancaster County Board ot Elections Bureau, 50N. Duke St., Lancaster, there are 17,199 citizens age 18 years and over who are eligible to register to vote in the Warwick School DisUi^i. Of that total, 12,036, or 70 percent are officially registered to vote. This leaves 5,163, or 30 percent, that are not registered. Hoffer said taht the goal of the fall registration drive is to lower that “eligible but non-registered voter category” from 30 to 20 percent. “I guess we take it for granted, but we as American citizens have a rich heritage to preserve and be proud o f— freedom to vote, giving equal opportunity to express our faith, wishes and dreams,” Hoffer said. Potential voters can register this Friday and Saturday at various Lititz area locations.

Other contestants gun for returning champ CONNIE BUCKWALTER Record Express Staff As the returning champion, all eyes are on Craig Wagaman, who will attempt to defend his illustrious title of Lititz Historical Foundation Pie Eating Champion during this year’s festival on Sunday, October 2. Last year it only took Wagaman, a fifth grade teacher at Lititz Elementary, 2 minutes and 15 seconds to eat half an apple pie loaded with whipped cream. Maybe that sounds easy, but consider that he had his hands tied behind his back. This year Wagaman said he feels confident that he can retain his title. “I’ll show up and do my best — give it my best shot,” he said. Wagaman said his strategy and motivation are surprisingly simple. “Number one, the apple pie is very delicious. Number two, it’s free. I’m going to just try and get as much as I can during a short time span,” he said. But as relaxed and calm as Wagaman appears to be in the days leading (Turn to Page 12)
