At the Feb. 21 township supervisors meeting, both found common ground at this point of the planning process. Planners of the proposed 52-lot Buckhill Farms housing development, located adjacent to the site of the planned Route 501 Wal-Mart, have been granted an 18-month time extension for submission of a final plan.

John Yerger, former owner of the company, said he is aware of the financial hardships caused by unpaid medical bills and a frozen 401K account, but that he, like his former employees, are now at the mercy of the court. “Everyone thinks you can do whatever you need to do immediately,” Yerger said. “It wasn’t like the money was misused and not there. It’s gaining interest in a money market account and things are truely progressing the best one can expect.” Patrick Devlin and other former employees are not surprised by the delay, which makes them suspicious as unpaid bills continue to pile up.

Martin, 20, son of Clarence and Carla-Donna, of 846 Orchard Road, Lititz, also received a citation from the state Senate. “Tome this is the conclusion to the cadet program,” he said. “After working so hard and literally putting in thousands of hours over the years, this is definitely the ultimate goal.

A final plan was submitted, but rejected last spring at the same time the initial Wal-Mart plan for a 200,000-square-foot superstore was denied by township supervisors. At the time of the Wal-Mart denial, representatives from the retail chain submitted additional plans for review.

Recently, a plumber came to his home, and after finishing his job, Anderson surprised him by asking, “So, do you know what sudden death is?” Anderson has that knack of capturing your attention.. He knows that shock has the potential of saving someone’s life. Literally. Anderson is active in trying to get life-saving medical equipment into police cruisers. And now it appears his wish is coming true — in Lititz and throughout Lancaster County. Anderson, a retired Manheim Township physician, said “sudden death” is the condition when a person’s heart begins to fibrulate, or quiver, and he goes into shock. If it starts, the person becomes motionless, and has less then 10 minutes before that life-saving assistance is too late. Often the first person on the scene is a police officer, but if the person is experiencing this, help often has to wait until an ambulance crew arrives with a defibrulator to use an electric shock to revive the victim. By that time, it may be too late, he said. “If you really want to succeed, you have to involve the police,” Anderson said. Starting about April 1, about 35 police cars throughout Lancaster (See Sudden Life, Page 26) Record Express Editor The population of Warwick Township is on the increase, but the crime rate in 1995 actually decreased, according to Police Chief . Alfred Olsen. Olsen submitted his report to supervisors at their Feb. 21 meeting, and said they have received “more calls in 1995 than at any other time in history,” but experienced only a 2 percent increase in calls compared with the 1994 total. There were a total of 2,932 police calls for service in 1995, compared to 2,879 in 1994. Both criminal incidents and vehicle accidents were down slightly in 1995. There were 260 reported crimes in 1995, two less than 1994. Incidents of assault, burglary and theft were down, as were criminal mischief, drug violations, and DUI. ' There was one reported rape in the township, one robbery, and one motor vehicle theft In 1989,13 vehicles were reported stolen in the township, according to the report. Olsen added that 65 percent of those crimes.reported were cleared, “which is a very healthy number.” It was the fourth year without a fatal car accident in the township, although a Manheim woman died in a crash in January. Total accidents also dropped three percent compared to 1995, and is significantly lower than the 260 accidents registered in 1987. Alcohol-related crashed continued to decrease in Warwick, with three percent of all accidents. Five out of the 162 reported involved alcohol. In 1989, 36 accidents, or 15 percent, involved alcohol.
