collapse can more than double
their chance of survival, the
association said.

Valley Health Network (LVHN),
will teach a free hands-only
CPR classes for members of the
community, ages 13 and up.

Creativity comes to White Haven through a combination of art and nature
The White Haven Area Community Library teamed with
the Delaware & Lehigh Trail
Alliance to co-sponsor an
inaugural Get Creative @ The
Engine House event. On Saturday, June 11, there were four
different artistic workshops led
by well-renowned Wyoming
Valley artists. The workshops
began with an instructional
portion held at the library, and
then the class would move outside to the Rails-to-Trails trail
behind the library for practical outdoor experience in the
medium that was discussed in
the library. The one-day program was titled 2016: Arts &
Photography Along the D&L
Trail.
Oil painting, colored pencil
sketching, watercolor painting
and nature photography were
the featured workshops. “The
idea, in a nutshell, is to introduce people to an art or photo
medium and then move it outside to introduce people to the
trail too,” explained event organizer Charlotte Carter from the
White Haven Area Community Library. She was very passionate about the event and is
already considering offering a
similar one-day program again

Donna and Jim Smolinsky and Bernie Perch were very interactive with Susan Sponenberg in the oil painting workshop in the

wildlife on either a blank canvas or adding color to a pre-started
painting once the workshop moved outdoors to the D&L trail.
