Art Therapy for Cancer Patients
Free art therapy is available to cancer patients in the Cancer Treatment and CyberKnife Center conference room, which can be reached by taking the elevator down from the Cancer Center lobby. On the first Wednesday of each month, sessions take place in the Center’s lobby. No prior art experience is needed, and a range of materials will be used. Sessions are facilitated by certified art therapist Yael Divon. Art therapy is a mental health practice where an art therapist guides participants in using creative media to process emotions, reduce stress and anxiety, resolve conflicts, increase self-awareness and self-esteem, manage behavior, and improve orientation to reality. The goal is to support or restore daily functioning and a sense of well-being. It can benefit those facing developmental, medical, educational, social, or psychological challenges, offering a way to express difficult feelings when words are not enough and the uplifting experience of making art. The emphasis is on the creative process rather than the finished piece. Walk-ins are accepted. For information or to sign up, Cancer Treatment & CyberKnife Center patients may call (910) 615-4626 or (910) 615-4435, and Health Pavilion North Cancer Center patients may call (910) 615-3856. Support for this program is provided by the Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County and the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

Bass Fundamentals: Introduction to Crankbaits
Crankbaits are a powerful option for bass anglers, built to sweep water quickly, spark reaction bites, and reveal active fish. This guided, hands-on class explains when to use a crankbait, how to choose the right type, and the most effective ways to fish it with confidence. Participants learn to match lure selection to depth, water clarity, and conditions, understand the roles of shallow, medium, and deep-diving models, select productive colors and patterns for different environments, and apply retrieval methods that trigger strikes. The session also demonstrates how crankbaits can efficiently find and target bass so time on the water is more productive. It is suitable for newcomers to artificial lures as well as anglers looking to sharpen their approach. All rods, reels, and lures are provided. Ages 13 and older are eligible, and those 15 or younger must have a parent or guardian on site. Participants should wear closed-toe footwear, a hat with a visor, and eye protection.
