Folks in Rothsville didn’t let a
little thing like a downpour stop the
fun at their 39th annual Halloween
Parade last Friday.
Although it “rained on their para­de”
as the marchers were leaving
their journey from Old Rothsville
Road to the Rothsville Fire Station,
the festivities continued, mostly
under the shelter of the fire station.
The costumed marchers and floats
braved the chilly rains and eventually
made it to the fire station, drenched
but smiling.

Manheim Parade
treats audience
The frightful and the fright­fully
funny joined at Manheim’s
annual Halloween Parade last
Thursday. Young and old alike
marched through the borough
showing off their creative and
fun costumes.

Manheim news, see page 24.
Teen-agers opening

Field Hockey continues
in District tournament
Despite a 3-1 loss to Boyer-town
that placed the Lady
Warriors in the loser’s bracket of
the District tournament and
eliminated them from a possible
District title, the team still clings
to hope that it can capture a state
tournament berth.

It was the perfect night for a para­de,
and the community took full
advantage of Monday’s crisp, clear
autumn weather to cheer the cos­tumed
marchers in downtown Lititz.
Hundreds lined the streets as the
marchers made their way through
town, hoping that their costume or
float caught the attention of the
judges and earned them a prize.
With a large number of creative
entries this year, that was no easy
task for judges Marsha Campbell,
Ruby Trimble and Arlene Bartle.
But it was hard to argue with their
grand prize choice, as The Owl Hill
Learning Center dazzled the audi­ence
with their re-creation of the land
of Oz, complete with Dorothy, the
Tin Man, Lion and Scarecrow, and
even an appearance by the Lollipop
Guild.
Winners in the float division, from
first to fourth place, were: The Child­ren’s
Comer, Lititz Cub Scout Pack
44 — Den 3, Ye Olde Toy Shoppe,
and St. Paul Nursery School. Conso­lation
prize went to the Troop 288
and 1411.
In the children’s division the win­ners
were, listed from first to third
place, were:
•Best Artistic Individual — Kate-lyn
Pilon, Elizabeth Riden, Megan
Senecal;
•Best Artistic Couple — Everett
and Ahnastasia Albert, Landon
Nuss and Morgan Eshleman, Erica
Hendrickson;
•Most Comical Individual —
Dylan Stauffer, Xala Hugues,
Adam GrafTius;

Commissioners highlight Tuesday’s vote
On Tuesday, voters across the
country will take to the polls, and
although many contests locally may
seem cut-and-dry, there are enough
contested elections to make a trip to
the booth worthwhile.
One of the most important choices
Pennsylvanians will make involves a
referendum vote that would amend
the state constitution concerning the
right of someone accused of a crime
to meet their accuser face-to-face in a
court.
The statewide question reads:
“Shall the Pennsylvania Constitution
be amended to provide (1) that a per­son
accused of a crime has the right
to be ‘confronted with the witnesses
against him,” instead of the right to
‘meet the witnesses face to face,’ and Residents
and teens
at odds

Congregating teenagers and con­cerned
residents led to a Monday
night standoff on West Orange
Street.
Nine angry residents of that area
took their case to Lititz Borough
Council’s Tuesday meeting with the
intention of shutting down the Power
Connection Youth Center — what
they believe to be the source of the
problem.
Power Connection Director Paul
Castellitto, who did not attend the
Council meeting, said Monday
night’s confrontation between teens
and adults was a serious problem that
got worse when residents, upset with

enact laws regarding the manner by
which children may testify in crimi­nal
proceedings, including the use of
video-taped depositions or testimony

Countywide Races
The county-wide race for commis­sioner
is the most visible contest loc­ally,
with five candidates vying for
three seats on the board.
The candidates are: Ron Ford,
John Bucher Herr, Terry Kauff­man,
Lilia Nice and Paul Thibault.
Voters must pick two candidates.

Auto Auction poses questions RICHARD REITZ

A proposed expansion by the
Manheim Auto Auction has forced
Penn Township officials to examine
their zoning definitions.
According to Melvin Hess, a
lawyer representing the Auto Auc­tion,
the auction would like to
acquire the Risser Farm, located
south of Auction Road on the west
side of Route 72; and also the Cassell
property, which adjoins the current
auction site.
‘The auction would like to acquire
the properties to help their central
operations and to help eliminate
some of the satellite parking areas
around the township,” Hess said at
Monday’s hearing before the town­ship
supervisors,

The November 1995 cover of Pennsylvania Game News features
peregrine falcons painted by Lititz wildlife artist Stephen Leed.
Leed swoops in for
2nd wildlife win

When does art imitate life?
Lititz wildlife artist Stephen Leed
has been bringing familiar Pennsyl­vania
animals to life on canvas since
1977, but his most recent accom­plishment
goes beyond the brush and
easel — it will help pay for the
restocking of native wildlife
throughout the state.
The Pennsylvania Game Commis­sion
announced Oct. 4 that Leed’s
painting of peregrine falcons took
first place in the prestigious “Work­ing
Together For Wildlife” competi­tion.
The peregrine print is featured
on the cover of Pennsylvania Game
News' November edition. The
monthly Game Commission publica­tion
was released this week, and pro­ceeds
from the prints will be used to
bring back local animals that once
flourished in Pennsylvania forests.
“I never really expect to win,”
Leed said. “I’ve noticed that if you
build yourself up too much you’re in
for a let down.”
This is the second time Leed, 225
N. Cedar St., won the cover competi­tion,
which was initiated by the Com­mission
in the mid 1980s, shortly
after the death of legendary Pennsyl­vania
wildlife artist and Game News
editor Ned Smith. Leed won the con­test
in 1993 with his frosty flight
depiction, “Winter Birds,” placing
him in a unique category with York
artistBob Sopchick as the one of two
painters to win the contest more than
once. Sopchick has won on three
occasions.
“I was real pleased when the
phone rang so soon after the judg­ing,”
Leed said of his peregrine suc­cess,
“that’s definitely a good sign.”
This year’s peregrine theme drew
more than 40 paintings for some
tough competition.
“We’re competitive, but artists are
pretty sportsmanlike people,” Leed
quickly pointed out
