Mind, body, spirit is a whole entity working within itself.” The sixth annual Midsummer Holistic Expo will be conducted from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 11, and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 12, outside of and inside multiple rooms of the Lancaster Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster.

achel Eberly is finished with her schooling for now, but her evolution as a person continues. The Lancaster Inferno provides her with an opportunity for continued self-exploration through soccer, a game she has always played. “I have evolved tremendously as both a player and a person through soccer,” said Eberly. “I credit much of my confidence and my maturity to Lancaster Inferno. From starting with the club at 17 years old to now entering my fifth season, I have changed immensely over the years. Soccer has taught me how important it is to show up fully in everything you do. Your effort impacts everyone around you, including those watching. The

Humans are adaptable; we can function quite well when one or two of the pillars of our existence are out of whack.

Fostering Pets a Chance to Be Part of the Journey Anne Hendricks, outreach coordinator with All 4 Paws Rescue, a nonprofit, fosterbased, all-breed organization located in Malvern, is familiar with the most common excuse potential pet foster parents give. “They all say, ‘I could never foster because I would want to adopt them all,’” noted Hendricks, who has fostered more than 100 dogs over nine years. “We have all foster-failed at least once,” she added, referring to a foster dog she knew she would be keeping within the first 24 hours of fostering her. According to Kisha Reinmiller, site director for Pennsylvania SPCA Lancaster Center, many who foster do become adoptive pet parents. “ We are always recruiting new fosters,” she shared. “A lot of them adopt for the first time.” Both organizations reported that becoming a foster parent for an animal is not complicated. The Lancaster Center application can be found online at www.pspca .org, and the All 4 Paws application is at www.all4pawsrescue .com. Representatives of both organizations noted that the foster application is similar to the adoption application. “We process (the applications), and then we reach out,” said Reinmiller. Hendricks pointed out that for potential fosters who already have pets, contacting the applicant’s vet is a crucial step. “We talk to the vet to be sure (the applicant’s) pets have been well taken care of,” she stated.
