Jennifer Cavalcante is a photographer. “I (take pictures) of (wildlife), animals, and people,” explained Cavalcante, as she held a print of flowers so vividly hued the piece resembles a painting. “(This photograph) is printed on watercolor paper, and the paper makes (the colors) really pop,” she said. Cavalcante will be one of nearly 50 professional artists who will take part in the Landis Woods Outdoor Fine Art Show that will be held rain or shine on the Boettcher House Museum grounds on Saturday, Sept. 29, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. An art walk, which will feature about a dozen high school artists, will be open from noon until 3 p.m. on the day of the show. Items that artists and craftspeople will bring to sell at the show will include jewelry, mixed media, abstract art, landscapes, watercolor paintings, and

more. The show is billed as a child-friendly and pet-friendly event. Artist Paris Llanso, known for her distinctive paintings featuring bright colors and large amounts of oil paint sculpted with a palette knife, will showcase her work including a painting of a birch tree she refers to as her “Skittles tree” because she used all the hues of the fruity candy in the piece. Lisa Madenspacher has turned her interest from goats, which she featured at the 2017 show, to pool, with a painting of oversized brightly colored billiard balls being among the pieces she will bring to the show. “I am continually inspired by my environment,” said Madenspacher. “I see composition,” she added, noting that she was invited to a dinner party and noticed the pool table at the venue. “Wherever I go, I am observant of my environment,” she stated.

Artists and musicians who will be among many to participate in the 2018 Landis Woods Art Show on Sept. 29 include (from left) Paris Llanso, Jennifer Cavalcante, Stephen Gambone, Lisa Madenspacher, and John Beaumont.

Scout Project Honors Haldeman

COBYS - Expanding To Serve The Community

By Ann Mead Ash

Garret Yoder, a member of Scout Troop 8, which meets at the Bird-in-Hand United Methodist Church, knew David G.

Foster Care Orientation Classes Posted By Ann Mead Ash

Don Fitzkee, director of development for COBYS Family Services, easily recalls the earliest days of the organization’s existence in 1980. “We began as a teen foster care agency with foster families in private homes,” said Fitzkee. During the last few years, COBYS has grown extensively in response to the drug epidemic. “You read stories in the newspaper about people affected by the opioid crisis,” said Fitzkee, “but you See COBYS pg 4

To meet the growing need in the community, COBYS Family Services purchased a building on Murry Hill Circle in Lancaster and moved a number of staff to that location. Christened the Murry Hill Center, the building is the site of monthly foster parenting orientation classes, as well as adoption and foster care services.
