Service groups providing lo ca l Christmas ch eer STEPHEN SEEBER JILL IVEY AND RICHARD REITZ Record Express Staff Service clubs and area organizations are busy making this a special holiday season. Here are some of what local groups have planned this year: •The Lititz Springs VFW Post 1463 generally works on three major holiday projects each December, according to Post Commander Barry Donlin. On Dec. 5, a group of volunteers from the post will visit five area rest homes to deliver fruit baskets and goodies bags to resident veterans. Donlin said the goodie bags this year will consist of crew socks, chocolate donated by Wilbur Chocolate Company, toiletries donated by Warner-Lambert, and lots of munehies. The post will then host its annual Children’s Christmas Party on Dec. 17 at 4 p.m. The holiday gathering is organized for the children and grandchildren of post members. Sign-up deadline for the party is Nov. 30. •The Lititz VFW Auxiliary is planning a special surprise for 10 needy families in the Warwick area on Dec. 20, when turkeys and food baskets purchased by the VFW ladies will be distributed. “Between now and the 20th is when we volunteer a great deal of our hours,” Donlin said. •For the past 50 years, the Baron Stiegel Lions Club has been delivering fruit baskets to the elderly as their major humanitarian project for the season. Club Secretary Ed Yost said that they hand out about 40 baskets each Christmas. •Lititz Rotary President Glenn B. Knight, said his group “does not do anything specific for Christmas.” Still, money from Rotary’s two primary fund-raisers during the year, the travelogue and the summer craft show, is given to many local nonprofit groups that sponsor a variety of Christmas events. For example, the Warwick Area Community Chest and the Gate House both offer special activities for the area’s needy, some of which is funded through Rotary Club donations. •The Lititz Jaycees, headed by Rob Hilt, will be using funds from their ever-popular Monte Carlo night, held Nov. 18, to take 22 local children on a shopping spree to buy gifts for their parents. The Jaycees have been providing this service to the community for more than two decades.

She confidently took her place on his lap and reminded him of all of her Christmas wishes, and even left with a coloring book and crayons when she was finished. The jolly elf arrived in Lititz on Saturday morning, and after touring town in the fire engine, took his place at his house in front of Lititz Springs Park. Santa will be back in Lititz on Friday from 5-8 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. T i m e e r o d i n g o n L i t i t z R u n g r a n t STEPHEN SEEBER Record Express Staff Time is running out for the borough to cash in on $10,000 for Lititz Run improvements. Mixed emotions on how to use the money, slated for erosion control between Broad Street and the Susquehanna Bancshares building at 26 N. Cedar St., led Borough Council to agree Tuesday night to keep the issue on the agenda for December. The legislative initiative grant presented to Council last December by Senator Noah Wenger will become null and void if it is not used by July. During Tuesday’s council meeting, Flood Control Committee Chairman Joe Rihn recommended the use of a greenway, which would secure the bank at a permanent grade through the development of a dense root mass. The Flood Control Committee’s report revealed that a greenway on the northern bank would stop erosion at the lowest financial cost. “Formal planting could give a good appearance, as well as hold the bank together, Rihn said, adding that a decision must be made soon in order to obtain construction permits. “We would like to pursue it in spring with council’s approval,” he said. Environmental Scientist Matthew E h rh a rt, of Landstudies Inc., brought a vegetated streambank stabilization plan before Council in May of this year, saying his firm could do the entire job at a total cost of $20,500, which would include a three-year guarantee. With the aid of the improvement grant, the project would cost the borough approximately $10,000. In May, Council agreed to consider the Lands tudies option, but it has been tabled ever since. According to Ehrhart, August and September, which mark the annual low-point in the run, would have been the optimal months for construction. Following Rihn’s report on Tuesday, Councilwoman Ruth Fry McKennon made the motion to “move forward” with the greenway, but withdrew the motion after additional discussion. “We’re waisting time and money, and erosion is occuring,” McKennon said after the withdrawal. (See Lititz, Page 15) Enjoy a Hometown Christmas If Wednesday morning’s snow didn’t boost your holiday spirit, this weekend’s festivities in downtown Lititz should take care of that. A “Hometown Christmas” returns to Lititz, beginning with the second annual “Christmas in the Park” on Friday evening. “Christmas in the Park” begins at7 p.m. and will feature the spectacular Christmas candle illumination. Over 1,000 candles along the stream in the park will be lit by local Scouts. The event is sponsored by the Lititz Springs Park Board of Trustees, in cooperation with the Lititz Retailers Association. Visitors to the park will receive a program listing the evening’s activities, as well as the carols that will be sung in the community sing-a-long. Each participant will also receive a candle that will be lit during the ceremony. The sing-a-long will be led by Jean M. Doherty, choruster, and additional music will be provided by the Lititz Moravian Trombone Choir and the Warwick High School Concert Choir directed by Deborah Kline. Lititz Mayor Russell Pettyjohn will present the Christmas message, and Rev. Gene R. Stuckey will offer the Christmas prayer. Other special events planned for Hometown Christmas weekend include: •Some festive Christmas carols will be performed by the Helping Hands Sunday school class from the Middle Creek Church of the Brethren on Saturday from 4-6 p.m. at the park entrance. •Carriage rides will be offered from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. at the park entrance on Saturday. •The Moravian Trombone Choir will perform along downtown streets on Saturday from 10:30-11:30 a.m., and again from 1-2 p.m. •The Lititz Lioness food wagon will be at the park entrance on Friday from 5:30-8:30 p.m. •Special Santa’s Castle hours will be offered on Saturday, as Old Saint Nick will be available for gift lists until 6 p.m. •There will also be numerous holiday special offers from local merchants. Shoppers can register in local stores to win one of 20 Christmas turkeys that will be given away. Registration begins Dec. 1 and ends Dec. 9.

Main St., Brownstown, died Nov. 26 at home after an illness of two years. She was the wife of Richard L. Fisher. They were married 15 years in March. Mrs. Fisher was featured in an article in the Nov. 23 issue of the Lititz Record Express. She and her family were planning a trip to Walt Disney World next week, funded by local sub and bake sales. A 1980 graduate of Warwick High School, Mrs. Fisher was a homemaker and a nurse’s aide at Lancashire Hall. A member of Calvary Baptist Church, she was involved with church youth camps and was a former Brownstown area Brownie leader. Bom in Lancaster, she was the daughter of Ronald E. Sr. and June Eckman Coldren of Lititz. Besides her husband and parents, she is survived by two sons, Aaron and Benjamin, both at home; two daughters, Rose and Becky, both at home; two sisters, Lynetta, wife of William Kimmet, and Brenda, wife of Dennis Foultz, both of Lititz; two brothers, Ronald E. Coldren Jr. of Lancaster; and Barry M. Coldren of Lancaster; and a maternal grandmother, Carrie M. Long of Lancaster. Funeral services were held from the Calvary Baptist Church, 530 Mil-ton Road, Lancaster, Pa. on Nov. 29 at 11 a.m. with Pastors Richard Hall, Robert Metze and Dale Parmer officiating. Interment was in the Mellin-ger Mennonite Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to the Calvary Baptist Church, 530 Milton Road, Lancaster, Pa. 17602. Mrs. Fisher’s family wishes to express their thanks to everyone who offered their help and support. Mrs. Kimmet said that the sale was very successful, and that her sister’s wish that her children visit Walt Disney World will still be granted. The Fisher’s will be going at the end of Feburary. Record Express Editor Warwick School District is in the process of updating its weapons policy to meet revised state guidelines, and wants to make sure that the “intent” of the item is thoroughly addressed. The school board began reviewing the policy revisions at its Nov. 7 meeting, and again at its Nov. 21 meeting. Dr. John Bonfield, superintendent, told the board that it revised the definition of weapon to include anything “intended for use to inflict bodily injury or property damage.” He said since even a pen or pencil can be used as a weapon, they want to insure that the intent is covered as well as the item. At the Nov. 7 meeting, Bonfield said look-alike weapons “will be treated as though it is the real thing.” According to the state law passed in October, the school must report any weapons violation to the State Board of Education, Bonfield said. Students found with a weapon on school property, a school bus or vehicle, or at an activity sponsored by the school, will be subject to the policy. Weapons are confiscated and the incident is reported to the student’s parents or guardians and to the police. The student will also be suspended or removed from class until a parent conference is held. Elementary students may face suspension or expulsion if there was no intent to use the weapon, but mandates expulsion for the remainder of the school year if intent to use it is proven. Secondary students face expulsion regardless of intent, according to the policy. The school board gave preliminary approval to the policy, and will formally adopt it at their Dec. 19 meeting. In other business: •The school board approved the five-year extention of contracts for Bonfield and Dr. Daniel Doremus, assistant superintendani. The extension begins on July 1, 1996, when the current contract ends, (See School board, Page 20) Cash taken from boxes at St. James Warwick Township police are investigating the theft of money from three wooden poor boxes at S L James Catholic Church on Nov. 23.
