[PAR] [TLE] Cool Runnings [SEP] Cool Runnings is a 1993 American comedy sports film directed by Jon Turteltaub and starring Leon, Doug E. Doug, Rawle D. Lewis, Malik Yoba and John Candy.  The film was released in the United States on October 1, 1993.  It was Candy's third to last film of his career and the last of his films to be released during his lifetime.  It is loosely based on the true story of the Jamaica national bobsleigh team's debut in competition during the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.  The film received positive reviews, and the film's soundtrack also became popular with Jimmy Cliff's cover of "I Can See Clearly Now" reaching the top 40 as a single in nations such as Canada, France, and the UK. [PAR] [TLE] George B. Fitch [SEP] George Bradley Fitch (February 7, 1948 – December 30, 2014) was a business consultant and Republican politician.  He served four consecutive terms as the mayor of Warrenton, Virginia, for a total of 16 years, before retiring in June 2014.  He ran in the 2005 Republican primary for the governorship of Virginia, a race which he lost to Jerry Kilgore.  Having long had ties to Jamaica, Fitch was one of the co-founders of the Jamaican Bobsled Team for the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary.  Determined to achieve what most dismissed as impossible, Fitch's success inspired the Disney film "Cool Runnings".  In 2007 he proposed that his town generate all of its energy from methane released from a nearby landfill.  In 2010 he authored the book "A Pathway To Local Energy Independence".
