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

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

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.
