Finger lick in ’ L ititz is barbecue h o t spot STEPHEN SEEBER Record Express Staff During the past few centuries, while Lititz metamorphosed into its current borough form, a collection of tourist attractions developed. The Moravian Church, a military hospital of the American Revolution, the world’s oldest pretzel factory, the grave of General John Sutter, chocolate and antiques are all a part of the curious draw that fetch visitors and spur the local economy. An often overlooked borough trademark is the incredulous number of chicken barbecues that take place during the warmer months of the year. The man who is quickly promoting this Saturday poultry fest into a legendary status for the benefit of local clubs and non-profit organizations is Lititz Chicken King Mike Himes, master barbecuer of Mike’s Chicken Bar-B-Q Service. Granted, there are other chicken barbecuers in the Warwick School District, but as Himes grills for about 80 percent of the area’s barbecue fund-raisers, he is responsible for cooking thousands of chickens each year, and the hungry public cannot get enough. The Warwick Area Republican Committee (WARC), Boy Scout troops, the Lititz Fire Company, Lititz Springs Swim Team, Warwick Wrestling, Soccer, Baseball and St. James Catholic Church are a few of the groups that Himes has helped to raise money for over the years. Himes said that he does profit from the business, but as a fulltime warhouse maintenance assistant at Lancaster-Lebanon I.U. 13, he commits most of his Saturdays to the grill for the satisfaction of lending a hand in local fundraising. Mike’s Chicken Bar-B-Q Service is now in its fourth year, a move that Himes made after working for Graybill Miller’s barbecue service in Manheim for about 3 years.

Some things never change. This year, Lititz Springs Park is honoring the 150th anniversary of that first Independence Day fireworks display with a “Star Spangled Salute” that Park Board President Ronald Reedy promises will be “one of the largest fireworks displays we’ve ever had.” And anyone who has ever seen the July 4th extravaganza in the past knows that means it will be huge. Fireworks have long been one of the featured attractions to the longest running continuous Independence Day celebration in the United States, first celebrated in Lititz Springs Park in 1818. The show’s history progressed from a simple but creative homemade display to the elaborate, eye-and- ear popping gala that attracts thousands to Lititz every year.

Sixteen years later this former Lititz backhoe operator continues his wait for a cure, hopefully before his body completely degenerates. According to Scleroderma Association of Susquehanna Valley President Harold N. Hillegass, few people have even heard of this autoimmune connective tissue disease, and they usually don’t until it affects them personally. Although the cause is unknown, Hillegass said that it is related to the over-production of collagen, which is an insoluble fibrous protein in vertebrates and the chief constituent of connective tissues and bones. Scleroderma patients tend to experience hardening in these affected areas to the point of immobility. “A lot of these patients are suffer- (See Scleroderma, Page 4) Chinese restaurant receives good sign STEPHEN SEEBER Parkgoers lik e Lititz Train Station con cep t RICHARD REITZ, STEPHEN SEEBER AND JILL IVEY Beth Superdock Tom Clausen Record Express Staff Although it would no longer serve as the hub of transportation to and from Lititz, a replica Lititz Train Station would be a welcome addition to Lititz Springs Park, according to several park patrons questioned in a survey. The Lititz Record Express asked several park patrons last week what they thought about the plan to construct a facility adjacent to the park entrance that would house an information center, meeting room, public restrooms and a historic display. Since the train station is just part of a larger capital improvement plan for the park, they were also asked what improvements, if any, they felt were needed. Beth Superdock of Brickerville, who was enjoying a perfect summer day in the park with her 2-year-old son David, offered her support for the concept. “I think its a good idea, especially for visitors in the area, with the restrooms, and maybe with the information,” Superdock said. “I think it will add to the community.” When asked if there was any way the park could be improved, she replied that it is nice just the way it is. “It’s much nicer than what I had growing up. To me its a great place to come with the kids,” Superdock said. Tom Clausen of Lititz, a fifth grade teacher at Kissel Hill Elementary, remembers the station as a youngster growing up in Lititz, although it wasn’t as functional as the proposed station would be. “I’m from the old school, and I’ve (See Train Station, Page 19) Record Express Staff Monday night’s Lititz Zoning Hearing Board meeting finally brought an end to the ongoing signage requests from restaurant owner Chun K. Eng, as the board voted unanimously to grant authorization for three signs on the front of his New China Restaurant at 370 E. Main St “I can’t believe we’re ready to vote on this,” said Board Chairman Glenn B. Knight just before the decision. The language barrier between Eng and the board, which required a professional interpreter during most of the testimony, added to the delay of the authorization. Fortunately for Eng, the Monday decision followed brief testimony, and the only language on the table this time was sign language as the zoners agreed to allow Eng to place an encased menu, an internally illuminated open sign, and to keep an existing business identification sign. Eng and his attorney Stephen Gibble first approached the board in November of 1994 with plans for larger signs, including one that would display business hours, as well as a non-conforming use request to allow eat-in dining at the establishment During the November meeting, and throughout the next several months, the board found several problems with the proposals. Insufficient parking for eat-in customers in a residential zone eventually led to Eng’s decision to drop the table service request. Later, he agree-d to take some of the existing signs down and then adjusted the size of the three proposed signs to fit within the 29.25 square foot requirement Gibble described the entire process as “give and take between the Zoning Board and Eng.” Two neighbors of the restaurant, Terry L. Weaver and June Herr, both filled out appearance forms in order to express their support for Eng. The Zoning Hearing Board’s decision is on die condition that Eng arrange to remove an ice cream sign in the rear of the building, that he take down the current open and entree signs in the front of the restaurant, and that his business offer only takeout food service.
