The boys, two 13 and one 14-year-old, were petitioned to juvenile court this week and are facing charges of burglary, criminal trespass, theft, criminal conspiracy, and criminal mischief. They entered the locked building at425 Front St. by prying apart a ventilation fan in the early afternoon of Sunday, Feb. 2. According to Lititz police, the boys were in the facility for several hours and used forklifts to damage pre-fabricated furniture, packing machinery, and the structure of the building itself. They also stole $64.25 in candy before a Great Connections employee finally heard the commotion inside the warehouse around 4:30 p.m. The boys were caught by police as they '¡ i\l io escape. “Obviously, these kids d u."' .are about what they were doi:.u, ' v:\l Sgt.

Local Gulf War vet organizing Fla.-D.C. march JILL IVEY Record Exp re ss Staff ROTHSVILLE —• Donald Lecturer J r. wants America to hear the voice of the veterans. To do that, the Rothsville man is helping to organize a 950-mile march along the East Coast. The march, sponsored by The Last Patrol, a veterans advocacy group, will start Operation Thunderstorm in Melbourne, Fla. on April 20. It ends in Washington, D.C. on Memorial Day weekend. Once in Washington, D.C., the group will join forces with “Moiling Thunder,” which holds an annual motorcycle run from California. Last Patrol has held numerous marches across the United States and is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Its mission is to consolidate the entire veteran community and to enlighten the media and public and enlist their involvement in their quest for truth and accountability. According to Lechner, the purpose of the marches is to call attention to veterans issues, such as health concerns and those who are Missing in Action and Prisoners of War. “The main thing is to get more public awareness of the problems that veterans face in dealing with the government,” said Lechner, a Gulf War veteran. “All we ask is to be made whole again.” Lechner claims that the government has covered up various situations throughout history, from the nuclear bomb testing in the 1940’s to the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam and the possibility of chemical weapons used during the Gulf War. “Our government asks u - ;. t and then when we come r-.ck, .a have these problems,” said '• nm*i “They try and say that it’-1 t. heads.” Lechner knows first -k- id ¡he problems veterans face y ion 'i.c» return.

According to Lechner, quite a few chemical weapons went off during the war. He said evidence of chemical weapons were found in northern parts of Saudi Arabia as well as Kuwait. He said an engineer battalion blew up an ammunition depot that housed “tons of chemical rockets.” Lechner said that a demolition expert said something did not look right when (See Gulf War, Page 18) Photo by Stephen Seeber Tim Checket, 17, of Myerstown, is one of 27 performers with the Swatara Dance Society.

Indian dancers highlight Scout banquet STEPHEN SEEBER Record E xp re ss S ta ff LITITZ — February has been a busy month for local scouting as most troops and packs hold annual banquets. Cathy Chapis, chairman of the Cub Scout Pack 142 committee, sponsored by St. James Catholic Church, decided to add a little flare to this year’s Blue & Gold Banquet by inviting the Swatara Dance Society to give an authentic Native American performance. Lead by Paul Carmany, this group of 27 Indian dancers comprise Explorer Post 11 in Lebanon County, performing for different groups an average of 50 times per year for the past six years. “A lot of people have a misconception of what Indian dancing is, and a lot of that misconception is from TV,” said Carmany. But mass distortion of Indian culture is what draws so many people to Post l l ’s shows. Carmany and his troopc feature 32 unique structural dances, many of which are completely unfamiliar to the TV-weened Native American enthusiast. In fact, there is such a demand for the Swatara dancers’ version of the Indian story that the group is booked solid through September. When Post 11 came to Lititz last Saturday in traditional and ceremonial garb, they certainly attracted attention. Every young scout in Pack (See Scouting, Page 18) Warwick prepares for career clusters RICHARD REITZ Record E xp re ss Editor LITITZ — This year’s seventh graders at Warwick Middle School will become the first asked to focus their career interests in their high school curriculum. The Warwick School Board has adopted the career cluster system, which will be incorporated in the 1998-99 school year. When those students are asked to select high school courses as eighth graders next January, they will also be asked to select one of five career clusters. “It is a cluster, not a specific career,” said Warwick High School Assistant Principal Robert Weible, who has been working with parents and educators on the plan for the past four years. “It will be one of five broad career areas.” (See Career, Page 18) Photo by Bruce Morgan Kim Gordon talks to an ambulance driver shortly after she suffered a seizure while driving north on South Broad Street.

Penn Township resident Dianne Berlin, who is heading the petition drive, said about 40 people have signed the petition in Penn Township. And according to Tom Miller, organizer of the drive in Manheim, they have gathered 25 percent of the signatures needed in Manheim. More than 440 signatures are needed in Manheim, and nearly 600 are needed in Penn Township. The petitions must be submitted to the Lancaster County Courthouse by March 11 for the issue to be placed on the May primary election ballot. Miller attended Tuesday’s Manheim Borough Council meeting to clarify the group’s position. He said that they feel there are too many outlets for people to purchase alcohol in the borough, and they are concerned about the impact that has on the community. (See Alcohol, Page 18)
