'Lollipop Cop’ Honored
“The Lollipop Cop”, Lititz
Police Officer Ronald
Sandhaus, was honored
Tuesday evening by the
Lancaster City-County
Human Relations Com­mittee
for helping the
children of this community
see a positive image of the
police at work.
His project “The Lollipop
Cop” was much in evidence
last Halloween when he was
seen-stoppingystmg-trick-or-treaters
and giving them
lollipops “to teach them that
the police are out on patrol to
protect them and that they
should not be afraid of a
policeman.”
According to Sandhaus,
his interest in young people,
especially the real young
children, is what prompted
him to become a police of­ficer,
“I like kids,” he said,
“and the time to reach them
is when they are very young.
After that, it’s too late.”
He says sometimes
parents threaten young
children who misbehave
with “I’ll get that policeman
after you!” He doesn’t like
that at all. He thinks parents
have the responsibility to
explain to the young people
that police are there to help
them, not hurt them.
Sandhaus feels there is a
need for this type of public
relations in all community
police departments.
In addition to handing out
lollipops, Sandhaus also
lectures elementary school
children on safety and high
school students on police and
government. One of his
presentations at the Kissel
Hill Elementary School was
videotaped and is now being
shown in other schools. “The
kids show a lot of interest in
my lectures and they ask a
lot of questions, ’ ’ he said.
Sandhaus has been a"
member of the Lititz police
force since 1971. He lives
with is wife, Barbara, a
math teacher at Warwick
High School, and his
daughter, Michelle, at 533
Spring Avenue.
At the request of Borough
Council, the Lititz Jaycees
agreed to the termination of
a 19-year-old trust fund
agreement regarding the
Lititz community pool. The
termination will take effect
tomorrow (Feb. 1).
The Jaycees, to show its
support for a swimming pool
project, agreed in 1961 to set
aside $15,000 in a trust fund
which the borough could use
if the pool operation ever
showed a deficit. This was
done so the borough would
not have to use taxpayers’
money to make up any
deficit.
Council noted Tuesday
night that the pool has
always turned a profit and
they do not need the fund. As
of now, interest has
multiplied the initial $15,000
gift to $26,061.
At the termination of the
agreement, council will
return the $26,061 to the
Jaycees, who said they in­tend
to return $10,000 to the
borough to be used for future
pool expenses. This $10,000
will not be in the form of a
trust fund.
According to Jeff Stanley,
a representative of the
Jaycees who was present at
Tuesday night’s meeting, the
organization will designate
the remaining portion for
recreational programs in the
borough.

Terry Kauffman Chosen By jaycees
Outstanding Young Educator Named
“As a teacher, I’m only a
member of a team...the
Warwick School District,”
Terry Kauffman told the
Lititz Area Jaycees last
Thursday evening as he
accepted this year’s Out­standing
Young Educator
award.
Kauffman, fifth-grade
math teacher at Lititz
Elementary School, com­pared
himself to Terry
Bradshaw of the Pittsburgh
Stealers who was named
Most Valuable Player of
Super Bowl XIV.
“ As the P ittsb u rg h
Steelers needed a total team
effort to become Super Bowl
Champions, we also have to
have a total team effort,”
Kauffman said. “Everyone
must work hand-in-hand to
make Warwick number one
in all areas...the parents, the
students and the com­munity.”
Kauffman was named
O u ts ta n d in g Young
Educator by the Lititz Area
Jaycees during a banquet
climaxing National Jaycee
Week. He will automatically
become a nominee for the
state’s Outstanding Young
Educator. Chosen by a panel
of three judges-a Jaycee, a
parent and a teacher or
administrator-he was one of
several teachers between
the ages of 18 and 35 who
s u bm itte d d e ta ile d
evaluation forms about
themselves to qualify for the
award.
Kauffman, who has taught
in the Warwick School
District for the past 12 years,
(three at Lititz, six at the
Middle School and three at
Kissel Hill), was graduated
from Millersville State
College in 1968 with a BS in
elementary education and a
minor in mathematics.
According to Kauffman,
he had no problem finding a
teaching job because “male
teachers are scarce at the
elementary level.” He began
his career teaching sixth
grade in the Penn Manor
School District.
Being the father of two
boys helps Kauffman do his
best in the classroom.
“Ail parents want the best
for their children,” Kauff­man
explained. “I plan my
classes as if my two sons are
students in my class. I want
the best education available
for them; hopefully, then,
I’m giving the best to each of
the students I have in my
classes.”
Kauffman tries to keep his
classrooms interesting for
his students by providing a
range of activities, such as
Tak’s Super Shopper
Grocery Store, games,
puzzles, listening stations
with basic facts records and
more.
He also tries to make
himself available to students
whenever they need help.
“It’s extremely important
to be available when the
problem arises and not two
or three days la te r,”
Kauffman stressed. “Fve
