living Look Inside
Lancaster artist featured in statewide art competition BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
If you look closely enough, you can find consistent patterns that tie together anything from a constellation to the petals of a flower. Although mathematical sequences, humans’ thumbprints and the inside of a tree trunk may seem to have nothing
in common at first glance, their unique shapes share eerily similar designs. These patterns are the primary inspiration for the work of Lancaster-based artist JJ Roach, who was a finalist in a statewide art competition held in September. For the third consecutive year, JJ was selected as a finalist in See Local artist pg 3
JJ Roach displayed his drawing “Celestial Nights” during his time as a finalist in the annual Art of the State competition in Harrisburg.

Making the beauty of nature accessible to everyone BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
On Sept. 19, Lancaster Conservancy celebrated the opening of the Lloyd Clark Trail at Clark Nature Preserve, 400 House Rock Road, Pequea, with a dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony. The opening was attended by representatives of organizations that Lancaster Conservancy partnered with to complete the project, and a
guided hike of the new trail followed the ceremony. As a universal access trail, the Lloyd Clark Trail is designed to accommodate community members who have limited mobility and use wheelchairs, walkers or similar devices. The 1-mile trail also offers an accessible way for families with young children and strollers to access the natural beauty of the area, taking hikers through the wooded meadow
