Lititz Record Express 122ND YEAR 28 Pages - No. 7 LITITZ, PENNSYLVANIA 30 Cents □ INSIDE DEP explains Lititz Run pollution report Listing means eligibility for state grant □ Back Page Garden Tour returning June 14 The Lititz Historical Foundation’s annual Garden four is returning, and this year it will focus on beautiful landscapes and water gardens located in the historic downtown district. For more details and ticket information, See Page 28. RICHARD REITZ______________ Record Express Editor WARWICK TWP. — Maybe being listed among the state’s most polluted waterways will turn out to be a blessing for the Lititz Run watershed. On Tuesday, two representatives from the Pa. Department of Environmental Protection came to the meeting of the Lititz Run Watershed Alliance to explain why the waterway received that less-than-flattering distinction. When the list was released, members of the Alliance were perplexed, especially considering the awardwinning effort that has been continuing to improve the health of the streams in the watershed. “We wanted to know why we were on there,” said Lititz Mayor Russell Pettyjohn, an active member of the Alliance. “We had just received an award for our efforts. We thought we were clean, then all of the sudden we’re polluted.” But Mike Sherman, from DEP’s Bureau of Watershed Protection, told the group that the upcoming state budget, which goes into effect July 1, has set aside $ 1 million dollars speci-fically to fund watershed projects. Only waterways that were pinpointed on that list — called the 303D report and required by states to be filed as part of the federal Clean Water Act — will be eligible to apply for those funds. Although the state has no authority to distribute money until after July 1, Shennan urged the organization to apply for a grant as soon as possible. Though pleased with the prospect of a grant for the environmental effort, members of the Alliance are still interested in doing whatever it takes to get Lititz Run off of the list. Sherman said they “are not used to taking things off of the list,” but acknowledged that the Lititz Run Watershed Alliance is doing every-thing that DEP recommends for wetlands conservation.

Page 21. Warwick’s money hinges on lawsuit STEPHEN SEEBER___________ Record Express Staff Last month, a federal judge ruled that Warwick School District would recoup only a fraction of its money in what has been called one of the state’s biggest investment scams. Meanwhile, other school districts, including Manheim Central, will get back every cent. David Zerbe, Warwick’s business manager, continues to be amazed with the beating that the local district has taken as the victim of fraudulent action. “We (all investors) are all involved,” he said this week. “For one group to be singled out as the sole group to suffer losses, to me, isn’t fair.” Last June, Warwick did what it has dope successfully for many years, borrow money in anticipation of revenue and invest it with a reputable money manager. “It’s money used until tax revenue comes in,” said Zerbe. “We borrow at one rate and invest at another, and, in the past, it has made money for the school district" He said $2.1 million was invested with an anticipated gain of $30,000 over the next 12 months. What was unanticipated was that John G. Black, the money manager for Devon Capital Management, was making unauthorized transactions with a complex web of investments that involved 56 school districts from across the state. The Securities and Exchanged Commission, during a routine audit last September, found $71 million missing from over $200 million in various investments. While Black has yet to be charged with any criminal action, his accounts were frozen and handed over to former governor Dick Thornburgh.

Community honors war sacrifices RICHARD REITZ Record Express Editor LITITZ — Those who have seen the movie “Patton” may recall the scene where Gen. George Patton requests a prayer for good weather from his chaplain on the eve of a key battle. Retired U.S. Army Col. John L-Patten, deputy adjutant general in the state Bureau of Veterans’ Affairs, may have been making the same plea for decent weather as he prepared to deliver the Memorial Day addresses in Lititz and Rothsville early Monday morning. And like Gen. Patton, Col. Patten also received his wish, as the rain threatened, but ultimately refrained from falling during both ceremonies. Patten, whose wife Miriam has taught second grade at Lititz Elementary School, told a gathering of well over 1,000 observers at Lititz that America must continue in the fight for freedom. “As the last remaining superpower, America alone carries the responsibility of maintaining the peace,” Patten said. Because of ongoing threats in the Middle East, China, North Korea, and potential conflict between India and Pakistan, “the U.S. must be prepared to meet the Iraq and Mogadishu, need to defend its security.” “Each responded readily when He remembered four individual their country called., and they gave Pennsylvania soldiers who died in the last full measure of devotion.” service to their country in Vietnam, (See Memorial Day, Page 28) Photo by Richard Reitz Don Hine (left) of Lancaster and Frederick Gutjahr (right) of Lititz were on opposing sides during World War II, but work side-by-side today with the Christian veterans group Welcome Home.

Record Express general manager Robert Campbell retiring June 1 EPHRATA — The current general manager and former owner of the Lititz Record Express has announced he will be stepping down at the end of the month. Robert G. Campbell, general manager and executive vice president of The Lititz Record Express, Ephrata Review, Lancaster Farming and Susquehanna Printing, has announced ¿ a t he will retiring effective June 1 after more than 43 years in the business. Bill Burgess, currently serving as assistant general manager, will assume Campbell’s duties on Monday. Campbell’s experience in newspapers is vast, but he may be best known for taking Lancaster Farming to the top of the ag publishing industry. He helped start the newspaper in 1955 and played a huge role in maik-ing it one of the most successful ag trade publications on the eastern sea-bord with a weekly circulation just under 50,000 and an average of 188 tabloid pages per week. Campbell began his association with the Lititz community in 1962, when he purchased the Lititz Record Express from William Young. When he purchased the newspaper, he became only the seventh owner associated with ¿ e publication that began in 1877 as two rival newspapers, The lititz Record and The Sunbeam (eventually The L ititz Express). John G. Zook owned the Express and Frank Buch the Record Until the Express was sold to Nevin E. Danner and the Record to Edward Robert Campbell Fulweiler and James R. Johnson in 1937. Itwason June 17,1937 that the papers merged, and a year later, William Young purchased the newly-combined Record Express. After buying the Record Express, Campbell moved Lancaster Farming into ¿ e historic old brick building at 22 E. Main St., Lititz, and for over 25 (See Campbell, Page 17) Bill Burgess
