Painting the town BY CATHY MOLITORIS
lank spaces in Manheim just got a little more colorful, thanks to the work of Jason and Katherine Horst. The couple, which owns Horst Arts in Manheim, recently completed work on three large murals in town. One is located in the courtyard at SUPPLY, 280 S. Oak St. Another is featured on the exterior of Teen Central, 15 S. Wolf St., and the third is inside A&M Pizza, 39 Market Square. The mural at SUPPLY was completed in August of 2022. “They have a neutral space inside, so it was kind of a risk for them to say, ‘Let’s add a big pop of color,’ but they approached us with the concept they wanted,” Jason recalled. Katherine added that the mural includes imagery that has special meaning for the owners of SUPPLY. “They wanted an image of multiple mountain peaks with a sunburst behind them,” she said. “There are seven mountain peaks, which relates to seven concepts important

to the owners.” The 20-by-12-foot mural was the largest piece the Horsts had completed at that point, and the mural presented another challenge as well. “It’s on corrugated metal, so that was a new surface for us to work on,” Katherine said. “It was a learning curve.” Pleased with the results at SUPPLY, the Horsts tackled the murals at Teen Central and A&M simultaneously this past August. Teen Central’s mural was completed to coincide with a renovation of the youth center’s exterior, and it features activities kids enjoy at the organization, including gardening and basketball. “They wanted the image of hands holding a seed, and they wanted a Bible because it’s a biblically based center,” Katherine stated. It was completed on stucco, which presented another challenging surface for the Horsts. The A&M mural, which consists of six wooden panels, was completed as part of the restaurant’s renovations, Jason said. “They wanted a mural See Painting pg 3

The loss of a baby affects a family for a lifetime, and care and support are needed well beyond the immediate time of loss. People who provide that care, whether in a professional or personal capacity, can benefit from attending “A Journey of a Lifetime,” an in-person perinatal conference sponsored by Share of Lancaster. The conference will be held on Saturday, Oct. 28, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Holiday Inn, 26 E. Chestnut St., Lancaster. It will present information for people in the medical field as well as therapists and
others who have touched the lives of families that have lost a baby. “It’s been a while since Share had an in-person conference like this one,” said Dr. Serena Wu, who is a maternal fetal medicine physician at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the executive director of Share. “To have a conference that is pulling in nationally recognized speakers on this subject matter is unique.” Highlights of the “Journey of a Lifetime” conference will include morning keynote speaker Dr. Robert Silver of University of Utah, who has spent more than 20 years See Support pg 2
