Artist donates works for community betterment
Though the community may be
small, Cranbrook has supporters
who donate time and effort to help
maintain the facilities which serve
as centerpieces to hamlet activities.
One such man, a part-time resi-
dent for 14 years, now a year-round
inhabitant, Peter Hagedoorn, is
contributing two of his water-
colours to a fundraising raffle for
Cranbrook Community Hall.
As many villages are finding, it

to some of the women attending the
Women's Institute conference in
Brussels.
The euchre party was hosted by
Gary and Sharon Evans.
There were six tables played.
Prizes went to: high man, Harvey

truly does take a community effort
to keep such buildings functioning
and this raffle will help pay for the
regular maintenance and possibly
go towards a much-needed new
heating system, says Hagedoorn.
The two watercolours, which will
be the first and second place prizes
in the draw, are scenes of the Mait-
land River in the Cranbrook area.

Welcome to Landon Harrison, a
new baby boy at the Les and
Joanne Stafford home, a brother for
Jacklyn and Lance.
Hagedoorn's are well acquainted
with some of the unique pieces he
creates, from cats made of second-
hand beads to a beautiful metal
peacock whose colours burst forth
from the exteriors of beer cans.
The peacock has a humorous
story behind it which is typical of
the community spirit which can be
found in small communities such as
Cranbrook.
Not a beer drinker himself, Hage-
doorn enlisted the assistance of
neighbours .to consume the variety
of selected amber liquids. "I would
purchase beer with a can of the
required colour, set them on neigh-
bours' doorsteps in the evening and
find the empty cans on mine in the
morning. It really was a community
effort," he says.
Many of Hagedoom's works can
claim the help of many hands.
Friends stop by in the afternoon for
a chat and begin pulling threads for
material creations, he says.
It is obvious by the look on his
face, Hagedoorn is enjoying his
retirement to Cranbrook after 25
years with the Children's Aid Soci-
ety in Toronto. It was a job he just
sort of fell into as an art student in
the city. He needed funds to sup-
port himself through his years of
study, applied to the CAS and
ended up staying. Working with the
foster families is one aspect of the
job Hagedoom admits to missing.
However, his life in Cranbrook
has been busy, staying involved
with community projects such as
