Donna, Starlite Earn Their Keep
By Pat Herr
“Yankee Doodle came to
town a-riding on a pony?”
Not on your life! It was J.
Wilmer Lare of 728 Wood-crest
Ave. driving his over-
100-year-old spring wagon,
pulled by two registered
Welsh ponies, Starlite, 16,
and Donna, 12. They were on
their way to buy feed at
Hollinger’s.
It was a rare sight to
behold on West Marion
Street the other day. Lare,
who is 76 years old, was
driving an antique spring
wagon made in Annville by a
W. H. Boltz.
If one looked carefully,
you could still see the
Pennsylvania Dutch design
and the wagon maker’s
name and address on the
side of the wagon. A spring
wagon is the type once used
to haul milk to the creamery.
It still sports the original
wooden wheels with iron
tires.
According to Lare, who
lives on the former Hiram
Minnich farm, they make
regular trips to Lititz for
feed. He drives the ponies
500 to 800 miles a year. The
Sunday after this photo was
taken, he took them to
Schaefferstown to be a part
of the festivities there.
He feeds Donna and
Starlite a regular mixed
horse feed put out by Penn-field
and grows his own hay.
Lare told us that he and a
team of horses were in the
pageant in the Lititz Cen­tennial
in 1956. He chuckles
when he recalls how his
horses were the ones that
bolted out of the pageant
during a Monday night
thunderstorm.
J. Wilmer Lare is a
member of the Red Rose
Horse and Pony Club. He is a
man with a twinkle in his eye
and possesses a great sense
of humor.
If you should just “happen
upon” Lare, Donna and
Starlite some day in Lititz,
stop and say hello.

After more than a year of
stu d y and in te n s e
deliberation, the Long
Range Planning Advisory
Council has completed a
five-year plan for the
Warwick School District.
The plan, which was
mandated by the State
Board of Education, was
reviewed Monday evening at
a meeting of the school
board Committee of the
Whole, and will be presented
to the school board for its
approval at the Aug. 21
meeting.
The five year plan projects
no new ed u c a tio n a l
programs but calls for more
community involvement in
the educational process.
The Council, authorized by
the school board, was
composed of 22 members
representing a cross section
of the community including
parents, residents of the
district, staff, students and
r ep r e sen ta tiv e s from
business and industry. Their
job was to assist in the
development of the planning
process and advise the Long
Range Planning Coor­dinator.
The Long Range Plan for
1979 through 1984 proposes
no new programs, rating
those programs now in effect
as accomplishing the 10
goals of quality education as
set by the State Education
Department and the four
additional goals set by the
Warwick School District.
The subject areas and
content appropriate to each
goal were studied in depth
for s tr e n g th s and
weaknesses, with certain
weaknesses in the various
educational programs and
services pinpointed for
improvement.
School buildings and their
facilities were rated as good
to excellent, with the em­phasis
for the future on good
maintenance.
Program areas pinpointed
for improvements focus on
such needs as:
--More emphasis on
personal counseling in the
school programs.
--More emphasis on
reading.
-Greater use of com­munity
resource people.
-More student assembly
programs and field trips.
-More information on
curriculum made available
to a broader spectrum of the
community.
-Greater emphasis on
drug and alcohol education.
-More creative activities
in the science program in
grades 11 and 12.
-Greater emphasis on
providing information about
the vocational-technical
program and vocational
counseling and career
awareness on all levels.
The above were selected
items taken from the overall
assessments of certain goals
which are now operating
w e ll but cou ld be
strengthened in the next five
years.
Goals considered were:
self-esteem, understanding
others, basic skills, interest
in school and learning,
citizenship, health habits,
creativity, vocational at­titude
and knowledge, ap­preciating,
human ac­c
om p lishm en ts and
preparing for a changing
world.
In addition, the district
added: Family living, work
skills, consumerism and
leisure time.

Elizabeth Township
Supervisors Rodney D. May
and J. Russell Ober, acting
in the absence of Chairman
George White, Monday night
agreed to have the township
zoning officer “pursue
formal action” against
Daniel Groff, 1651 Furnace
Hills Pike, for his alleged
violation of the township’s
junk vehicle ordinance.
At their June 1 meeting,
the supervisors granted
Groff until Aug. 1 to remove
all motor vehicles and
trailers without current
inspection stickers from
property he leases in the
township.
Groff told the board
Monday night that he had
been too busy with hay and
other business to remove all
the vehicles by the August
date. (At the June meeting
he had stated that he needed
two months to remove the
junk vehicles.)
“What you have to do, you
have to do,” Groff told the
supervisors Monday night.
The supervisors said they
will take appropriate action.
Zoning Officer Dorothy
Thompkins will refer Groff
to District Justice Sharron
Simpkins for prosecution.
Delinquent Taxes
The supervisors also
agreed to turn over the
township’s 1978 delinquent
per capita taxes to Justice
Simpkins for collection.
Jeanel Circle
In other action, the
supervisors approved
township acceptance of
Jeanel Circle, a road built by
R. Glenn Hershey, providing
it passes inspection. Hershey
told the board that it had
been built according to
township specifications.
The Board also approved a
sewage module on the
property of Elmer and
Rachel Brubaker on Reif-snyder
Road.
Revised Description
In unfinished business, the
supervisors announced that
they had received revised
zoning information regar­ding
the Snavely Brothers
property between Route 501
and Snavely Mill Road from
J.C. Engineering/Surveying
Inc., Lancaster.
At their May 7 meeting,
the supervisors had passed a
m o tion s ta tin g th a t
authorized officers of the
township would approve the
revised legal description
when it arrived, so all that
remained to be done was to
change the township zoning
map.
September Meeting
The supervisors agreed to
schedule their September
meeting for the first
Tuesday of the month, since
the first Monday is Labor
Day. Their next meeting will
be held Tuesday, Sept. 4 at 7
p.m. in the Municipal
Building.
of the roadway and, as a
result, Shue, the passenger,
was thrown from the cycle,
striking a speed limit sign
with his left leg and am­putating
it above the knee.
After Shue was thrown
from the motorcycle,
Shelton tra v elled ap­proximately
200 feet before
the motorcycle upset. He
received slight injuries to his
left arm. The cycle sustained
moderate damage and was
removed from the scene.
Both Shue and Shelton
were transported to the
Lancaster Osteopathic
Hospital by the Lancaster St.
Joseph’s Hospital Mobile
Intensive Care Unit. Shelton
was treated and released.
Shue was admitted to the
hospital where he is reported
in satisfactory condition.
Following an investigation
by Officer Robert Haines, it
was determined that Shelton
was the operator of the
motorcycle and not Shue, as
had previously been
r ep o r ted in o ther
newspapers.
As a result of the in­vestigation,
Shelton was
cited for operating during
suspension, failure to drive
at a safe speed and for filing
false police reports.
Shue will also be cited for
filing false police reports.
One-Car Accident
No injuries were reported
in a one-car accident on July
31 at 7:14 p.m. on Newport
Road, east of Lexington
Road.
The car was travelling
west on Newport Road when
the operator, Barry Lynn
Knauer, 533 N. Water St.,
attempted to slow down for a
car that was attempting to
make a turn into a private
drive, in front of him.
Knauer lost control of the
car and hit and sheared a
utility pole which was the
property of the D & E
Telephone Company. The

enhanced by the distribution
of a questionnaire to

citizens and students to gain
an understanding of their
priorities and concerns.
