THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1996 ett 11- ,1; .7 tr'it 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.

The next euchre is Oct. 21 at 8:30 p.m. 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 The Ontario Provincial Police has concluded its investigation into the disturbance at the Bluewater Youth Correctional Centre, (south of Goderich) which occurred on Oct. 6. This disturbance caused damage to one dormitory known as Ontario House which has 20 residents. Six residents have been charged with 16 offences, as follows: five counts of break and enter, four counts of rioting, three counts of mischief over $5,000, one count of mischief under $5,000 and three counts of breach of probation. Five of the persons charged are young offenders and will be appearing in Young Offender Court in Goderich on Dec. 12. The one adult will be appearing in Criminal Court, Goderich on Dec. 16. OPP educate On Saturday, Oct. 5, the Ontario Provincial Police in Huron County conducted a one-day enforcement and education exercise targeting drivers considered to be high-risk for collisions.
