Support Columbia Animal Shelter at Cruisin’ for Cats f you would like to bring your entire family to an awesome free-entrance event where they can walk around and see the evolution of the automobile, this is a great opportunity to do so,” said Tammy Jalbert, executive director of the Columbia Animal Shelter, describing Cruisin’ for Cats. “There will be music, food, cars, bikes, chances to win prizes, and while you are here, you can see some awesome animals that are available for adoption.

Jack was known for creating watercolors that reflected what he saw on his hikes around Marietta trees, landscapes, streams, buildings and more. He soon became a mentor to Tom, who in turn became a fulltime artist. The two stayed friends for 20 years, until Jack’s death from cancer at age 53 in 1996. See Watercolor pg 2

Susquehanna Stage will present “Children of Eden” BY CATHY MOLITORIS
“Children of Eden” is a musical about relationships, specifically the relationships between parents and children, told through two Bible stories. “It’s a reinterpretation of the creation narrative as well as the flood narrative … exploring the way that God’s parentship of humans interacts and how His influence is passed down through
generations,” explained Ethan Goss, who portrays Adam and Noah in the show, noting that act one focuses on the Garden of Eden and act two is about the ark. “Children of Eden” will be performed at Susquehanna Stage, 133 W.

breakfast sandwiches hot off the grill,” Jalbert commented. “There will also be hamburgers, hot dogs and pulled chicken sandwiches as well as some yummy desserts available for purchase. We will have T-shirts, Koozies, a 50/50 (giveaway) and a (giveaway) table with all kinds of awesome donations from our local community.” People will also have the opportunity to tour the shelter and visit with cats up for adoption. Jalbert noted that the car show is a natural fit for the shelter. “The shelter came about because of a dream Judy McKonly had to help as many cats as she possibly could,” she explained. “She and her husband were the founders of Kleen-Rite car wash, and together with The McKonly Family Foundation, this seemed like the best way to bring the two arenas together and support one great cause.” Jalbert added that attending the car show helps support the mission of the shelter, providing funds for animal care, community outreach programs and a spay/neuter clinic. “We continue to make strides in tackling cat overpopulation and offering affordable vet care, in huge

Tom Newnam is the perfect example of following your heart. The professional artist was inspired to begin painting after meeting Jack R. Shaub, although neither man was painting full time when they met. Jack, a court-appointed juvenile probation officer for York County, was Tom’s boss, and the two became fast friends. One day, Jack invited Tom to his Marietta home to see the paintings he created in his spare time. It was a moment that would change Tom’s life. “It’s hard to explain, or even believe, but I had a totally unexpected epiphany,” Tom said, recalling seeing Jack’s watercolors for the first time. “My soul informed me, strongly and clearly, that I was also called to be an artist, which completely blew my mind as I knew nothing about painting.”
