CONNIE BUCKWALTER Record Express Staff Although the 1995 Warwick Township budget will not be available for public review until November 28, supervisors gave one sneak preview — no tax hike in 1995. During their meeting last Wednesday night, supervisors reported that the millage rate would stay at two mills for at least one more year. After November 28, budget spe-cilics will be addressed. However, Township Manager Daniel Zimmerman said that township is waiting to advertise the budget until a matter concerning insurance coverage can be handled. ■ ■■a-*,»-* H p ; *, -i —JL -.'s'. *> V ......W - - - Santa Claus will arrive in Lititz — direct from the North Pole —- via fire engine thi: turday morning to meet and greet the boys and girls and listen to their Christmas lists. Santa arrives Saturday NORTH POLE — Santa Claus arrives in Lititz this Saturday, Nov.26. The jolly old elf will arrive at his castle, located at the entrance to the Lititz Springs Park at 11 am. Santa will begin his day with a tour of Lititz streets aboard a Lititz fire engine starting at 9 a.m. Visitors to the Castle will get a chance to talk to Santa and receive a free gift. They will also be eligible to win a girls’ and boys’ bicycle. Santa’s hours this holiday season are: Sat., Nov. 26................11 a.m.^1 p.m. Fri., Dec. 2.................... 5 p.m.-8 p.m. Sat., Dec. 3 ..................10 a.m.-4 p.m. Fri., Dec. 9.....................5 p.ni.-8 p.m. Sat., Dec. 10............. ..10 a.m.-4 p.m. Fri., Dec. 16...................5 p.m.-8 p.m. Sat., Dec. 17............... .10 a.m.-^t p.m. Wed., Dec. 21..... 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. Thurs., Dec. 22....5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. Fri., Dec. 23........ 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. Sat., Dec. 24...... ............9 a.m.-Noon The board is expected to vote on the budget during the December 21 meeting. A public hearing on the budget will be held prior to the vote. From November 28 until December 21, the budget will be on display at the township office for public review. Also during the meeting, supervisors accepted a settlement with the Carlyle Group, bringing four years of litigation to an end. Zimmerman said that the Carlyle Group, which owns the Twin Brook Mobile Home Park, had filed a lawsuit against the township because it did not want to hookup to the township’s sewer and water lines. Zimmerman said that the settlement allows the mobile home park to hook-up and the township to move on. Zoning Officer Thomas Zorbaugh brought several items to the board’s attention. The 24-hour notice for inspections policy will no longer be in effect, he said. He also asked supervisors to consider a longer permit review process that would allow him to take more time on some of the larger building projects. Zorbaugh suggested prohibiting contractors to bum in dumpsters at the building site because items like insulation, shingles and plastic buckets are being disposed of improperly. In another matter, Zorbaugh said he thought it might be wise to require permits for fences to eliminate problems with fence construction or placement. Zimmerman said that nobody likes additional regulation, but as the township grows, it is important to keep things in check. During communications, Zimmerman reported that the final phase of the Rothsville sidewalk project has been rated sixth of 23 projects in the county, which means it will definitely get funding. The township plans to bid the work for the project sometime in the spring. Zimmerman also presented the township directory to the board. The directory is a list of all the elected and appointed officials in the township. Supervisor Chairman Michael Brubaker encouraged citizens interested (Turn to Page 12) Officials form ad hoc committee to study traffic relief possibilities CONNIE BUCKWALTER Record Express Staff Discussion and the rejuvenation of an ad hoc committee were the two major results of a joint meeting between local municipalities and the school district. Monday night, 18 officials representing Warwick Township, Elizabeth Township, Lititz Borough and the Warwick School District attended the annual meeting at the Warwick Township Municipal Building. During the two hour meeting, officials discussed a myriad of issues, including growth, parks and recreation, cooperative services and reassessment. Candlelight celebration set for Lititz Square Since its inception in the beginning of 1994, the purpose of the Candlelight Celebration, scheduled for Wednesday, November 30 at the Lititz Square, has been to honor the Lord in remembrance of His birth. For the Lititz Area Manger Preservation Society (LAMPS), the celebration is a way of giving back to the Lord. When considering the gift He gave mankind, LAMPS feels that it is a small gift — comparatively speaking. The celebration is one night set aside from hectic schedules. One night that buying and wrapping gifts, baking cookies and cleaning homes are forgotten as people focus again on the meaning of Christ’s birth — God on Earth. Members of LAMPS hope that the citizens of Lititz and beyond will join them for what they hope will be an awe-inspiring evening. Community caroling begins at 6:30 p.m. Carolers will be accompanied by the Lititz Moravian Trombone Choir, led by Director Jean Doherty. Pastor Fred Moury of Trinity Evangelical Congregational Church and President of the Warwick Area Ministers Association will make a brief welcoming comment and conduct the rededication of the creche. Well-known vocalist Wayne Watson will then take the stage and sing a few songs from his new Christmas album. Pastor David Jones will address the crowd, followed by a performance Lititz Manger Choir, led by Diane Parshall. As the choirs sing, representatives from the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts will go onstage to have Pastor Moury light their candles. They will then disperse into the crowd, lighting candles as they go. Community members will then pass their candlelight to those around them. There will be a special surprise for the community members while the choir is singing its final song. For the most part, the meeting served as an information exchange, with one of the hottest topics being growth. Dr. John R. Bonfield, Warwick SchoolDistrict superintendent, said that the district enrollment level is at 4,160 students, with projected enrollments nearing 5,000 students by the 2003-2004 school year. With the recent addition of the new elementary school and the return of sixth grade to the elementary buildings, Bonfield said the district has provided for its growth needs for at least the next seven years. (Turn ro Page 1 2) Photo b y Stephen Seeber Members of LAMPS and volunteers from the community gathered last Sunday afternoon to raise the recently refurbished creche, Susan Raffensperger (left) and R.J. Milholin (right). Lititz’s manger set will be rededicated during the Nov. 30 candlelight celebration on Main Street. An artist has been commissioned to design a Commemorative Sweatshirt for the evening. The proceeds from the sales of the sweatshirts will help defray the cost of the celebration. The shirts may be purchased up to and including November 29 and then again December 1 and following. There will be order blanks in the printed programs to be distributed during the celebration or call 627-1912. Because the Candlelight Celebration is dedicated to honoring the Lord, there will be no sales of the sweatshirts on November 30. Former Lititz resident Debby Dodds met television actor/comedian Jerry Seinfeld during the filming of a special program. L i t i t z n a t i v e m a k e s “S e in f e l d ” s p e c ia l CONNIE BUCKWALTER Record Express Staff For fans of the hit television comedy, “Seinfeld,” meeting the star of the show, Jerry Seinfeld, would be living out a dream. For Debby Dodds, meeting Seinfeld meant the chance to use her acting talent and to be seen by millions of television viewers. “He was very nice and not the kind of guy who is always on. He’s not always telling jokes,” Dodds said of Seinfeld. “He’s also very supportive. He had no ego relative to the situation.” Dodds, a former Lititz resident, will appear on Thursday evening’s special “Abbott and Costello Meet Jerry Seinfeld.” The hour-long program will air on NBC stations at 10 p.m. The special is a retrospective of Abbott and Costello’s career, hosted by Seinfeld. Dodds said the show was filmed in a burlesque theater, The Variety Theater. She appears in four scenes and changes costumes twice. In one of the scenes, Dodds takes off her sunglasses and winks at Seinfeld. Although the show airs in November, it was filmed in August. Dodds said she was. selected for the show after a series of interviews and auditions, competing against close to 1,000 other actresses. “I think that the show is probably the biggest thing that I have done in terms of what people will see,” she said. Debby Dodds Dodds has also appeared in an episode of “Divorce Court,” a commercial and a short film produced by Michael Jackson. Last week she filmed a children’s video on CD-rom and was cast on the spot for a film role. Dodds has lived beside the beach in Los Angeles for the past 18 months. Prior to moving to the West Coast, she lived in New York City after graduating from New York University in 1989. While in New York, she said she often worked in theater. Given a choice, Dodds said she prefers working on films. “Usually they (filmmakers) are not in a big rush to get things done,” (Turn to Page 1 2) Zoners order take-out for December meeting STEPHEN SEEBER Record Express Staff Adjustments to the interior and exterior of the New China House take-out restaurant, 370 E. Main St., Lititz, were discussed without resolution during Monday night’s Lititz Borough Zoning Hearing Board meeting. Chun K. Eng, restaurant owner, and his attorney had two requests for adjustments to his business. The R-l residential zone location of New China House presented a number of restrictions that businesses normally do not face in commercial zones, and after the Zoning Hearing Board heard the case, the only aspect of the issue that could be agreed upon was to continue the applications at next month’s December 19 meeting. Eng’s first application was a sign request to display four external signs on the front of the restaurant. The four signs — which are already up — include a sign depicting some of the entrees featured by the restaurant, a business identification sign, an “open” sign, and a sign listing business hours. All four signs have the potential for internal illumination. Throughout the hearing, Zoning Hearing Board member Robert W. Fitts consistently refered to the problem of the sign’s total square footage, which exceeds the amount traditionally allowed in an R-l district, and also said, “luminous signs are not permitted outside of the business area.” At the same time, Eng’s counsel contended that the signs are necessary to the business because the storefront has no windows, making it difficult for potential customers to know if the restaurant is open. The attorney also said that the building has been consistently used as a business since the East Town Market was there years ago, and the only difference now is the owner. The board burned to past records revealing that Eng had appealed to the board for the exact same sign requests in August 1990, when he was denied. (Turn to Page 12)
