Cla. SER EE RE SUSQUEHANNA BULLETIN Vol. 75 No. 48 December 10, 1975 Walt Price (seated) laughs at a joke told by Kemp Zangari (standing) last Weds. Resid 2 .3nydor Rn . -s “ k - "ty OV, Ye Susquehanna Times & The Mount Joy Bulletin MARIETTA & MOUNT JOY, PA. photo by Corky Flick Walt Price was really surprised Walt Price thought he was going to an office party for the sports staff of WPDC radio last Wednesday night. Walt, former Donegal High wrestling coach, has been broadcasting football games for the radio station. Walt picked up fellow sportscaster, Kemp Zan- gari, and the two of them drove to the Mount Joy Legion. The door opened on a room full of 250 Donegal wrestling fans. Walt turned to Zangari and said, ‘‘We're in the wrong place.” It took Walt a minute to realize that he had arrived at a surprise banquet in his own honor. Besides the present DHS coaches, wrestlers and fans, old proteges of Walt’s were on hand to toast the man who taught them their wrestling fundamentals. Paul Stehman, now head wrestling coach at . Line Mountain High School, said, ‘“My whole career in wrest- ling could be attributed to Walt, and there are a lot of guys who feel the same.” (For more on the party, see Jeanne Freed’s story on the Donegal School page.) Coach Price, whose wrest- ling team was undefeated last year, resigned suddenly this fall because of ‘‘perso- nal reasons’’. A letter Walt sent to parents of wrestlers, ex- plaining why he resigned, was quoted extensively in last Thursday's Intelligen- cier Journal. (continued on page 2) Gingrich demands updated police facilities; Budget approved at Boro Council meeting Mount Joy Borough Council approved the 1976 budget which calls for a reduction of 1 mil in real estate tax. The ordinance providing for the reduction brought a halt to the proceedings when Mayor James Gingrich refused to sign it until he had a commitment from President Foley on the updating of the police facili- ties. Foley charged the public works committee to put the police facilities updating on their priority list for the coming year, and Gingrich signed. The budget provides for a 7 to 10 % increase in wages for borough employees, largely for sanitation department employees who are past due by Zelda Heisey for their increase. Friendship Fire Company asked council to consider turning over the deed to the present firehouse at 7-9 N. Market St. The building is not providing any income for the borough ‘and the fire company owning the proper- ty would relieve the burden of upkeep and insurance from that body. The public works committee will meet with the fire company rep- resentatives to discuss the matter and report back to council. Racer pigeons owned by Robert Kline, 567 N. Angle St., were the cause of a complaint by neighbors who objected to their dropp- ings on homes and cars. Mr. Kline purchased the land the coops now stand on after checking with borough manager, Joseph Bateman and receiving a permit July 8. Council has now revoked the permit and the pigeons are to be moved from the property by December 8. Kline stated he would not have purchased the land had he thought he could not keep the birds there. In other business the council approved an insur- ance purchase of $12,675.00; lifted the mora- torium on street lighting; started plans for mercury type street lights; approved vacation of portions of Rose Alley, Plank Alley, and Hamaker Alley; and agreed to collect the Occupation Tax. Ten Cents East Donegal Municipal Building Open House this Sunday, Dec. 14 i From left to right; Abraham Groff, Lloyd Fuhrman and James Johnstin, township supervisors, stand in front of the new E. Donegal Township Municipal Building. by Zelda Heisey The new East Donegal Township Municipal Build- ing will be shown at an Open House, Sunday, December 14, from 1 to 4 p.m. The public is invited to inspect the facility at Rock Point Road. The office - workshop building was constructed because of the lack of space in the former building. The facility will house all author- ity boards as well as the police office. Each authority will have its own office. In the past all township busi- ness was conducted in the same office and lack of space was of prime concern. The new building was constructed at a cost of approximately $100,000.00. The office space is 80 by 55 and the workshop area is 100 by 60. The plan began three years ago when it became very evident that the old building was becom- ing smaller and smaller as the township business grew. The actual construction be- gan in late spring, 1975. East Donegal Township Supervisors are: James Johnstin, president; Lloyd Fuhrman, secretary-trea- surer; and Abram Groff, vice-president.
