T H E R E S S SERVING THE WARWICK AREA FOR NEARLY A CENTURY 97th Year E s ta b lis h e d A p ril, 1877, a s T h e S u n b e am (C o n so lid a te d w ith T h e L it i t z R e co rd , 1937) Lititz, Lancaster County, Penna. 17543, Thursday, June 21,1973 10 c e n ts a Copy; $4.00 p e r y e a r b y m a ll w ith in L a n c a s te r C o u n ty 18 PAGES — No. 13 County Recommendations on Warwick Township Sewers Conflict with DER Orders Warwick Township was thrown back on the merry-ground over sewerage lines last week when it received notice from the Lancaster County Sewer and Water Authority that the county does not want any “excess”sewerage lines built in the Longenecker Church area. The county recommended that the township limit further development in the area to comply with the county’s comprehensive plan regarding preservation of agricultural land. The area, also known as the Pfautz Avenue area, is one of four sections of the township which the Department of Environmental Resources (DER) has said requires immediate sewerage lines. It is also included in the c o u n ty ’s C om p re h e n s iv e Sewerage Plan. Terry Brown, of the Lancaster County Planning Commission, who sent the county’s recommendation to township supervisors, told the Record-Express that the county’s recommendation is mainly an effort to preserve agricultural land. He said a study of Warwick Township showed that this area west of Lititz is prime agricultural land. He said that sewerage is one of the tools the county will use to preserve agricultural land, adding that land becomes “opened up” for developers when sewerage lines are put in. He said the county Sewer and Water Authority is “in conflict” right now with the present Comprehensive Sewerage Plan and with the DER over the matter, adding that the authority is in “sort of a vague position” with the DER and municipalities at this time. “We are trying to work out a procedure with the DER tc amend the Comprehensivt Sewerage Plan based on lane use,” he said. Warwick Township has a “lot of problems” in the Longnecker Church are», he said, adding that the only solution was “undersized lines to handle existing sewerage.” The land in question lies west of the borough and includes a housing development known as the Pfautz development. It is zoned RD2, according to township planners. A Gap developer, Amos Stoltzfus, recently submitted a partial preliminary plan to the township Planning Commission for a 159-unit housing development for another portion of the land, the Chester Sensening farm. The land also lies in the borough’s watershed area, which includes an area four to five square miles west of Lititz. Richard I. Hoffer, township secretary, commenting on Brown’s letter last week during a regular supervisors’ meeting, said it means that the township - cannot approve any more development in this area. “In essence, if no sewers, no development,” Hoffer said. He said it could also mean the township will become involved in law suits by developers who want to put up houses. Brown told the Record-Express that the county’s comprehensive plan does not give the county any enforcement power at this time, but it could have a direct effect ’’later,” because HUD (Housing and Urban Development) requires the county to make “comments” on land use when federal funds are sought. He said HUD must make the final decision on whether funds are granted, but funds could be “held up” if the county doesn’t approve a plan. Township supervisors also commented last week that they might not be able to get federal grants for sewerage lines if the township does not comply with county recommendations. Township Zoning Officer and Planning Commission chairman, Joseph Snavely, told the Record- Express that he had received a similar letter from Brown and pointed out that the Authority’s recommendations are in direct conflict with earlier state and county recommendations to install sewer lines in the Longnecker Church area. It would be the most expensive of the four areas in which to install sewers, because there are so few houses there, Snavely said. He said the only thing that would make it “economically feasible” would be development of the area. \ The township has been under pressure (from the DER for the past year to commit itself to being included in the borough’s sewage treatment plant expansion, planned for 1975. Meanwhile the borough is (Continued on Page 8) New Miss Pernio.

Other items on Council’s agenda will include an account of contributions to community services and organizations, and discussion of appointing a Civil Defense director for the borough. School District to Send Students To Marine Center, Gets Grant Pizza king John Cali, owner of Roma Pizza, 54 E. Main St., slices one of his popular homemade pizzas. Homemade Pizzas Featured at'Roma' (Editor’s Note: This is the 74th in a series of articles to acquaint our readers with our local retail merchants.) For one of the tastiest pizzas you’ll ever eat, stop in at Roma Pizza, 54 E. Main St. There, working at his stainless steel counter, Pizza King John Cali spins and builds some of the most fascinating pizzas a ro u n d - loaded with cheese, peperoni, sausage, meatballs, or onions, whatever your taste prefers. “Freshness” is one of his secrets, John says. All the pizzas are made fresh upon order, and are served up hot out of the oven. John makes the dough and the sauce himself using his own special recipe. The pizzas are available in large and small sizes, or by the piece, and can be eaten at the store or carried out. Also available are spaghetti platters, and a variety of sandwiches, including meatball, sausage, steak, or subs. The store has become a popular place for lunches, suppers, and snacks, and John’s reputation for good pizzas has spread all over the county. A resident of Ephrata, John opened the local store about eight months ago, remodeling it to include a lunch counter at the front and booths in the rear. He also owns a similar shop in Ephrata, operated under the same name and managed by his son, Sal Cali. John and his %ife, Angelina, live at 211 E. Walnut St., Ephrata, and have three children: Sal, Polina, and Patricia Mary. Now operating under new summer hours, Roma Pizza opens daily, Monday through Sunday, at 11 a.m. The store remains open until 11:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and until 12:30 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Winger Condemns Student Bill of Rights Proposal The proposed Student Bill of Rights and Responsibilities would be an infringement on School Board policy making and the will of the public on control of the schools, and some of it is an 'open invitation to a breakdown in school discipline, Dr. H. Dale Winger told School Board members Tuesday night. Winger, as superintendent of schools, was asked by state Secretary of Education, John Pittenger, to review and comment on the proposed bill. Winger told school directors he would refute and condemn the proposed bill in a letter to Pittenger. The bill is a 24 page document written by the Student Advisory Board, a staff of 37 high school juniors and seniors chosen by Pittenger. If passed into law, the document would give students a greater voice in state school system policies. No state action has been taken on the bill of rights, other than to solicit local educators’ view’ on it. Winger said the recom mendations in the bill are based on a Philadelphia model, and are “not necessary or desirable” in a non-metropolitan school district. He said Philadelphia city grievances, based on racial crises there, are used. He also said many of the recommendations are already covered by due process legislation and court decisions. “Some of the recommendations are an open invitation to a breakdown in school discipline,” Winger said. He said some of them “dangle the impossible” before students and would incite unrest. Many of the recommendations, he said, are an infringement on School Board policy making and the will of the public regarding control of the schools, citing recommendations on expulsion and suspension as examples. He said recommendations on study halls, parking, etc. are “not state prerogatives,” and “border on the ridiculous.” Winger said he did approve Warwick School District will try another innovation next year when it sends 40 of its students on three-day field trips at the Marine Science Consortium at Lewes, Del. for study of marine science and oceanography. The seminars are being made possible through a $1,000 grant to the school district from Miller-sville State College, one of 17 colleges and universitites that belong to the consortium. MSC has received a $50,000 grant from the state Department of Education, designed to introduce students in the public schools to the study of oceanography. Barry Smith, administrative assistant at the Middle School, announced the grant to school directors Tuesday night, asking them to approve an $800 allotment to cover part of the transportation costs for students, chaperons, substitute teachers, film and processing, and text materials. Smith said the program will involve 20 students from the Middle School, who will go to Lewes in the fall, and 20 students from the high school, scheduled to go in the spring. Cost to each student will be $25, half of the tuition. The $1000 grant from MSC will cover the other half of each tuition, he said. The students will live in dormitory facilities at the consortium and will have use of facilities and equipment there, including research vessels, for oceanography study. According to Smith, the seminar will be made a part of the Earth Science course in the high school, and part of a four-week mini-course to be added to the Middle School curriculum. Students will be selected according to interest and ability, and will include primarily ninth graders from the high school and third year students from the Middle School, Smith said. The program and activities at the consortium will be under the control of MSC, he said. In recommending approval of the program, Dr. H. Dale Winger, superintendent of schools, said it will ’’broaden the science program beyond anything we can do here.” School Director William Owens expressed concern that the $25 tuition fee from students might result in discrimination, asked that the program be approved only if the fee not be a deterrent to any student eligible to attend. Directors approved the plan, and authorized $790 expenses toward it, stating that funds would be made available “somehow” to eligible students not able to pay the tuition costs. Resignations In further business, the board accepted resignations Irom four teachers, effective June 8: Mrs. Leslie K. Anton, English teacher at the Middle School, Mrs. Sheryl J. George, Lititz Elementary School, Mrs. Helen E. Miksch, art teacher at the Middle School, and Richard L. Stum, math teacher at the high school. Teachers Hired Two teachers were hired for next term: Michael R. Mohler, Denver RD1, assigned to teach art in the Middle School at a salary of $7,000. Mohler is a 1973 graduate of Millersville State College, with a B.S. degree in art education. Michelle A. Ranck, 215 E. Central Ave., South Williamsport, to teach art in the high school, at a salary of $7,000. She is a 1973 graduate of Pennsylvania State University with a B.S. degree in art education. Also hired were Amirali M. Virmani, as a custodian, and Kent Gingrich, as a summer custodian. Sukenik Transfered The board granted a request from John K. Sukenik, who has been serving as administrative assistant to the senior high principal since last November, to return from this position to that of social studies teacher in the senior high school. Mrs. Janet F. Frace, a teacher at Kissel Hill Elementary School, was granted a maternity leave of absence effective June 19. The board turned down a request from John W. Mast, a teacher at Kissel Hill Elementary School, for an unpaid leave of absence from Sept. 1 to June 30, 1974, to do undergraduate study. The board authorized paying Donald Petty, instructor in the high school print shop, $5 an hour for preparing and printing forms and other materials used by the school district. The board approved the following student medical insurance programs for the next school year: -$3.25 per student with $i0 deductible —$13.25 per student for 24 hour insurance with $10 deductible. - -$27.50 per student in senior high football, with $10 deductible. The insurance is optional and is payable by the students with the exception of the football insurance, paid by the school district. The board also approved a dental insurance program at $2 per student, optional, and payable by the student. The board defeated by a tie vote a motion to buy furniture for three primary rooms at the Rothsville Elementary School. Low bid on the furniture was $2819. The district will provide hot lunches for pupils attending the Intermediate Unit 13-operated classes at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and Lititz Church of the Brethren. The lunches will be delivered out of either the high school or middle school cafeteria, at a cost of 40 cents per pupil and 60 cents per adult. The program has been approved for reimbursement by the state. A total of 126 students, and 26 staff members, will be involved in the program. Lititz is the largest of two centers for the IU (Continued On Page 8) Local Children Have Special Roles in July 4 Celebration some of the recommendations, including ones that involve students in some curriculum planning. “Students don’t need more rights, they need more counseling from schools and parents,” Winger said. He said the proposed bill should not be allowed to come into effect by the State Secretary or the state School Board. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ According to tradition, two local children have been selected to play special roles in the borough’s Queen of Candles Celebration on the Fourth of July in Lititz Springs Park.
