CBC in town for Goats video ARNE PE TRYSHEN Townsman Staff
On Friday, a crew from CBC was in town filming local band The Good Ol’ Goats at Mount Baker Secondary for a segment that will appear on national TV and radio. The filming was a part of radio host Grant Lawrence’s cross-Canada trip in a VW Beetle called the Beetle Roadtrip Sessions. Students packed into the school’s music room to take part in the activities, which included the Goats playing a five-song set. There was even a real live goat brought in at the request of the producers. At the end of the segment, the six members of the band, Lawrence and the goat all squeezed into the Beetle for a shot of them driving away. The rest of the event was more conventional, with students cheering on

Two cancer survivors who dub themselves “The Moyie Hammers” speak about their journey during the Relay for Life on Saturday, May 25 at the College of the Rockies track in Cranbrook. For a photo feature of the event, turn to Page 5.
Students in Cranbrook, as young as nine years old, will be showing and selling livestock, pigs, sheep and cows that they have raised themselves on June 2 in Wycliffe. The 4H club is a group made up of students who run agricultural activities that include tending to livestock, swine, cows and sheep. The group holds selling markets where the com-
munity can bid on the animals. Two members of the 4H club in Cranbrook are Taylor Holt, 14, and Hannah Boulton, 13, and they both attend Parkland Middle School. Each agrees that they are learning a lot about their chosen hobbies but that the challenge of taking care of animals has taught them more than just textbook information.
