Drivers attempting a left turn onto Front Street Wednesday morning couldn’t believe their eyes, but it was true. The house movers were moving Curt Amidon’s house from the south side to the north side of Front Street to make room for an expanding Yerger Bros, plant. (Record Express Photo) Amidon House Moved Across Front Street Wednesday By Bonnie Szymanski In times past, turtles, snails and certain nomadic peoples were the only ones to take their homes with them into a new neighborhood. The rest of us had to be content with staying in one place - be it castle, cabin or cave - or be faced with the sometimes unpleasant experience of leaving a secure nest for unfamiliar lodgings. Locally, one man has followed the example of the tortoise and has decided to take his house with him. He has moved it from the south side of Front Street all the way to...the north side of Front Street. Two years ago, D. Curtis Amidon, assistant borough manager and one-time president of Lititz Borough Council, sold his property to his neighbor, Yerger Bros., Inc., 520 Front St. Both Amidon and the company assumed plant expansion would take place within a decade, and Amidon felt secure in the fact that he would be living in his own home for another 10 years. But, said Amidon’s son, Tom, the custom woodworking company began to need its growing room sooner than expected, and Amidon was faced with the prospect of leaving his home. One of the family’s first ideas was to move the house, said the younger Amidon. Because, after living in a home for 32 years and raising six children there, it’s hard to say goodbye. So, after negotiating to purchase the property across the street, Amidon made the decision: he would move, but his house was going to go with him. According to Tom Amidon, who with his wife, Christine, and their family of four children also will be moving into the newly situated house, the entire operation will cost them the price of buying or building a new home. Tom explained that a new heating system will be installed and a three-car garage built onto the new site to replace the old two- (Turnto Page 2) Warwick seniors selected as Halloween Queen candidates for the Halloween Parade in Lititz Monday night are (left to right) Jo Ann Washchysian, 508 Kissel Hill Rd., Kathy Jo Gibble, 11 E.

The ra in d a te was changed so it would not conflict with Trick Or Treat Night Warwick Band Places Second In Nationals, Band Front, Brum Major Take Top Honors By Peggy Frailey “It’s like kissing your cousin,” said Warwick High School Band Director Dale Weller this week after the band placed second in n a tio n a l c om p e titio n Saturday night at Veteran Stadium in Philadelphia. “It was disappointing to get so close (to first place) and not take it all,” he said. “But generally, I’m pleased and I think the kids feel about the same way.” Competing against seven other top high school bands in the nation, Warwook took second in the Class A Division in the National Championship of Marching Bands. Two Trophies Warwick also brought home two first place trophies - one for showing the best band front, and one for having the best drum major, Warwick senior, Beth Rohrer. “I couldn’t believe it” ! was Beth’s reaction to being named top drum major in the national competition. At 5’3” , Beth is one of the shorter drum majors on the marching field, but she finds this no hindrance when she climbs up on her platform to lead the band through its show. “As long as the band can see me, it’s okay,” she says. Beth, daughter of Mr. and f ween Roundup Lititz Boro Halloween Parade - Mon., Oct. 30, 7 p.m. (raindate, Wed., Nov. 1). Trick Or Treat Night - Tues., Oct. 31,6-9 p.m. Warwick Township Rothsvilie Halloween Parade - Fri., Oct. 27, 7 p.m. (if rain, no parade). Trick-Or-Treat Night - Tues., Oct. 31,6-9 p.m. Penn Township Penryn Halloween Parade - Sat., Oct. 28, 7 p.m. (rain or shine). Trick-Or-Treat Night - Mon., Oct. 30, 6-9 p.m. Mrs. J. Lloyd Rohrer, Owl Hill Road, has been playing flute in the band since her freshman year, and before that played in the Middle School Band. Drum major is a job she wanted badly this year and was thrilled to get. She was “a little nervous” Saturday night before the band’s performance at Veteran Stadium, “but I get nervous before any show, even at football games,” she said. Best Showing The band gave its best showing yet on Saturday night, Director Dale Weller said. It lost first place by only 1.4 points to its p e r e n n ia l o p p o n en t, Plymouth-Whitemarsh, outclassed by P-W in the “marching execution” category, Weller explained. Village Art Assn. Plans Show & Sale The Lititz Village Art Association will hold their second annual Membership Show and Sale Nov. 3 and 4 at the studio and gallery of AlTaft, 413 N. Water St. The event will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. on Friday and from 1 to 8 p.m. on Saturday. It will feature members’ art, including work in watercolor, oil, and acrylic. Paintings will be on sale in time for holiday giftgiving ideas. Refreshments will be served. The show was first held last November to promote the work of the Village Art Association, which sponsors the Lititz Outdoor Art Show every summer. The public is invited to attend, to browse, or to buy. Anyone interested in joining the Village Art Association should contact to A1 Taft, membership chairman. However, Warwick came away with the best score for music, band front, and total show, he said. P-W (from Plymouth Meeting, Pa.) compiled 82.30 points. Warwick compiled 80.90 points, and Hammton High School from Ham-monton, N.J. took third with 80.50. This is the third year the Warwick band has competed in the nationals. It finished third in the last two events. State Competition Weller says he plans no basic changes in the show before its next big competition for the Cavalcade of Bands Championships Nov. 4 at Hershey. The band has another week of hard core practice before that event, and meanwhile will be marching in both the Lititz and Rothsvilie Halloween parades. More than 300 fans from the Lititz area followed the band to P h ilad elp h ia Saturday to view the national competition. A total of 28 bands in the classes A, B, and C performed, with Warwick among the last eight competing, in Class A. Although Warwick was scheduled to Warwick High School Band’s drum major, Beth Rohrer, salutes smartly after being named top drum major in national band competitions Saturday in Philadelphia. do its show at about 9:45 the field, and about 4:30 a.m. p.m., it was close to mid- until band and spectators got night until the band got onto back home to Lititz. Landfill Hearing Scheduled Dec. 8 Friday, Dec. 8 has been set by Commonwealth Court in Harrisburg as the date it will hear an appeal from Penn and Elizabeth township residents against a proposed sanitary landfill along Penryn Road. Residents filed the appeal with Commonwealth Court after a Lancaster County Court decision that the townships must permit the landfill. The appeal was filed by a group formed to fight the landfill, the Save Our Soils Committee of Penn and Elizabeth Townships. The case will be heard in Courtroom #1 at 9:30 a.m. on Dec. 8. Some members of the committee plan to be there, including Jim Bachman and Scott Shank, officers of the committee. No new testimony will be permitted at the hearing. A panel of judges will make a decision based on transcripts from hearings held in Lancaster County. Residents of the two townships have been in action for over two years now fighting the landfill, which a Harrisburg firm, R. E. Wright Associates, wants to install along Penryn Road in the midst of both housing developments and farm land. The site lies partly in Penn, and p a rtly in Elizabeth township. The site is close to Hammer Creek, and residents protest that the land is too full of springs and limestone to avoid the danger of well pollution. Numerous other objections were also made to the fill. The zoning boards of both townships tel used lr> pf ¡n>.R the landfill, but Wright appealed these decisions, and won his case with the county court. It is this decision by the county court that is being appealed to the higher court by the SOS Committee. During the past two years, the committee has held a number of fund raising projects, and has received private contributions to pay the legal fees involved with the appeal. More fund raising projects are planned for this fall and winter, Shank said. Il l is Issue Editorial 4 Sports Section 6,7,8,9 Sod fi < 12 d ì Ì! r!3V 3 18 Business Directory 20 Classified 22,23
