The preliminary layout was prepared for the school district by Derek and Edson Associates, a Lititz-based landscape architectural firm. A new stadium with lights would be the centerpiece of athletic and park facilities encompassing the entire 48-acre Buch farm tract, purchased by the school district last year. The stadium, which is projected for construction in two to five years, would serve the football, soccer and hockey teams. The school board is expected to vote on the layout after cost estimates are receiyed. No estimates have yet been drawn up. Other new facilities projected for construction west of the high school, between Campus Drive and Lime Rock Road, include two hockey fields, two soccer fields, a baseball diamond, two rectangular practice fields and a community soft-ball field. Four new tennis courts may be constructed behind the high school. Existing athletic fields, except for the hockey field, would be maintained. The hockey field will be lost to the high school expansion and renovation program scheduled to begin this year. The existing track would continue to be used. An all-weather track, which has been recommended by some sports enthusiasts, is not in the current plans. Walkways and jogging paths, surfaced with modified stone, would interconnect the schools, playing fields, new Lititz Community Center and Lititz Springs Park. A macadam walkway would run parallel to Maple Avenue so that pedestrians will have a safe route to the campus and Community Center. An open lawn area with park benches would be located at Campus Drive and West Orange Street. The open lawn area would create a clear line of sight past the (Turn to Page 17) A preliminary layout for new athletic fields and park areas, shown above, was prepared by Derek and Edson Associates for Warwick School District. NLRB to issue complaint against firm Neighbors view layout favorably By Dave Knauss Record-Express Editor With, no settlement in sight, Raymark Friction in Manheim and the striking workers of Local 2590 of die United Textile Workers of America appear headed to labor relations court. The National Labor Relations Board is about to issue a complaint against Ray-mark Friction for violating federal law, said Peter Hirsch, the board’s regional director in Philadelphia. “We are going to allege in the complaint that the employer unlawfully abro-. gated the collective bargaining agreement in violation of the statutory bargaining obligation,” Hijsch said. That will place the case before one of the board’s 85 administrative law judges, Hirsch said. Although no site for the hearing has been selected yet, the board generally locates tiie hearing close to the affected company. The complaint follows an administrative investigation based on charges filed by the union. Jan. 22, nearly 400 Raymark workers walked off their jobs, three weeks after the company implemented drastic contract changes, including a 10-percent cut in pay. The union complained to the NLRB that the company was violating the existing' contract. Once the complaint is issued, Hirsch’s office will serve as the prosecution against Raymark. The union may also enter its own attorneys in the case. Even if the company loses the cases, it could appeal the decision to the NLRB in Washington, Hirsch said. The whole litigation process could take several years. Bradley C. Smith, president of Raymark, sounded non-plussed about the impending charges. “I am not entirely sure what issuing a complaint means and I’m not sure what influence it really has,” he said. “Until they actually go through and issue a ruling, nothing has changed.” He said the company and the union are not negotiating currently and that a quick solution “is not in sight.” ‘G am e s ’ is s u e m a k e s s p a r k s at m e e tin g The issue of whether to allow small games of chance in the borough is becoming more controversial even before it gets on the ballot. At Lititz Borough Counc il’s Tuesday meeting sparks flew about when council should vote on a resolution that would place a referendum on the ballot for the spring primary election. James B. Shultz, commander of the Lancaster County Council and Lititz Post Veterans of Foreign wars, berated council members for refusing to vote on the resolution until the Feb. 28 meeting. At their Jan. 31 meeting, council took the advice of the Pennsylvania Borough’s Association and decided to vote on the resolution after Feb. 17, the effective date of the law. Council also decided at the January meeting to advertise Feb. 28 as the date for a meeting when it will consider a resolution and hear public comment on the small games of chance issue. American Legion Commander Ralph Seaman said Tuesday council was “putting the cart before the horse,” by waiting to vote on the resolution. “Give the people a chance to vote on it — it relieves you of the responsibility,” Seaman said. Council President Clyde R. Tshudy questioned Seaman and Shultz on the types of games their organizations would undertake. “ T h e p e o p l e a r e spooked,” Tshudy said. “They hear you are going to have a carnival weekly.” Shultz said only VFW members could participate in games such as punch boards, strip tickets and fish bowls and only at the VFW post headquarters. He added that raffle tickets will be the only game that would be extended to include people from outside the organization. Shultz said he guaranteed raffle tickets would not be sold at craft shows, art (turn to Page 4) By Jed Kensinger Record-Express Staff Writer Neighbors of Warwick School District’s high school and middle school campus got a look at the outdoor-area plan and liked what they saw. About 15 residents living along West Orange Street and Lime Rock Road showed up Tuesday to see the layout presented by Charles Edson of the landscape architectural firm of Derek and Edson Associates. Warwick School District Superintendent Dr. John R. Bonfield personally telephoned several neighbors to invite them to see the layout Tuesday night. Edson added, “We used their suggestions from the first meeting.” An input meeting was held about two months ago. Donald Cromer of 3 Lime Rock Road said the major concern of area residents was that the school district would maintain a natural environment. After inspecting the plan, Cromer said the area would be aesthetically enhanced by the landscaping proposed by Edson. Shade trees and some evergreens would be planted along the school district’s property as a buffer for neighbors and as part of a vo-ag nursery project, Edson proposed. Cromer added that he is looking forward to the picnic area and playground equipment which may be developed near his home. He said his children and his neighbor’s children would probably use the equipment. Residents suggested shifting the position of a small parking lot adjacent to the picnic area so that it would not be located as close to their homes. Edson said he could rework that part of the layout. “Other than the parking lot, I think it looks teriffic,” said Rick Grafenstine of 525 W. Orange St. Except for the current sketch of the parking area, Don Lavigne of 521 W. Orange St. said he is in favor of seeing the plan carried out. “It’s certainly putting the property to better use than the way it is now.” After reviewing the layout Tuesday, J. Fred Garman, executive director of the Lititz Community Center, said, “I think it looks very nice.” The needs of the school district are served well by the proposal, Garman said. “I also liked the way they’ve incorporated the scheme of the land to meet the community’s recreation needs,” Garman said. Teen seeks career as art curator Sup e rviso rs learn A B C ’s of recycling By Becky Collins Record-Express News Editor “We’d essentially be creating a monopoly with Option D,” stated Irel Buck-waiter, chairman of the Warwick Township board of supervisors, after analyzing four recycling options presented by Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority, (LCSWMA). The recycling options have been presented by LCSWMA to aid 18 county municipalities, including Warwick Township, design their own trash collection and recycling programs and meet mandatory recycling deadlines in 1990 and 1991. Of those options, Option D is the least costly. The recycling plan also requires the least amount of township administration and promises a high material recovery potential. Its one fatal flaw, in Buck-waiter’s eyes, is that this plan calls for the township to contract one hauler to collect all trash and recyclables. “I don’tlike the idea of the township creating a monopoly with trash collection,” he said at last week’s supervisor’s meeting. “Granted, the cost of collection could be less with one hauler, ($120 annually per household with Option D versus $146 annually with Option C), but the big boys will come in here and put the smaller operations out of business.” Buckwalter suggested that the board “give Option C a chance” to see how the collection system would work with numerous haulers, adding that the township is currently served by a number of small trash hauling businesses.
