OUR MUCKY PROBLEM
I WALKED through Henthorn P a rk recently, past the dog loo. This worthy attempt to inculcate dog owners with social responsibility and thoughts of hygiene has been about as successful as the De Lorean
sports car. The park is still full of dog muck. I only stepped
on some once, but luckily I was wearing brown shoes. That was on Friday. On Saturday I observed the very popular dog obe
dience classes in Whalley. Perhaps they should include d efe ca t ion and i ts con tro l in the curriculum. On Sunday I removed from my garden the usual
presents from my neighbour’s large brown (“They’ll never touch you”) beasts. The smell only
’ made me vomit once. I walked along Eshton Terrace on Monday. In

the park, as usual, a dog without a lead was urin ating on the “Dogs must be on a lead” sign. Its imbecile owner was shouting, from a distance, the usual orders, which were being ignored. Another large dog was taking a young girl — no adult accompanying — for a walk. The dog exhi
bited admirable control, the young girl did exactly as she was told — and she was only pulled over
once. On my way home I thought I saw some signs
on lamp-posts about dogs being on leads, but I must have been mistaken. A friend came to see me on Tuesday. Luckily he
was already in my house by the time a neighbour’s dog, unable to bite his leg, had a go at one of the tyres on his car. I will not bore you with the rest of the dog-infested week. It is time that we had a dog warden in this town.

I f our Government is not to allow dog owners to be charged, via a licence fee, for the costs of their ani mals to the community, then heavy fines for dogs not being on leads or defecating on the pavement will provide revenue for this post. No, I don’t hate dogs, but I do hate dog owners.
who show no sign of social responsibility. I wonder why some people have dogs when they find walk ing them such a chore — a neighbour’s garden is an easy alternative. Is it habit, because their par ents had one and they’ve “always had one?”

Way forward on skill share is to work as a team
IN recent weeks, your paper has published a number of articles on the activities and fund ing of the former skill-sharing scheme, based in the main at Trinity Youth and Community
Centre. What has not been made clear in many, or all of
these articles, is that the Manpower Services Com mission (not the Lancashire Education Auth-ority) established and funded the scheme, primarily to enable unemployed people to learn new skills or exchange their existing skills with others. Unemploy ment in the Ribble Valley has been reduced to three per cent and, in that sense, the scheme has played its part in the relief of unemployment and can be described as a success. However, neither the MSC, nor its successor
Training Agency, can be expected to fund adult education in general or the education of adult handi capped people in particular.

continuing some of the skill shares’ previous classes and activities. The way forward is to work as a team with the
college staff responsible, not to appeal for further funding from a body whose task was solely to provide training aimed at reducing unemployment..

BLIND Clitheroe athlete Miss Christine Bailey has
had her hopes of competing in the Rotary Club’s ' Sports for the Visually Handicapped dashed.' The event, held annually, has been cancelled due '
to lack of competitors. Christine, a member of Ribblesdale Swimming
Club, was to be sponsored for the sports, taking place at Morecambe College of Further Education this weekend, by the Rotary Club of Clitheroe. The town’s two Rotary Clubs take it in turns to sponsor local competitors.

tolerated for long enough the dirty habits and disre spect for our mutual environment shown by the yobbo minority, whether this be from dropped rub bish or uncontrolled kids? Every inch of the Ribble
Valley is someone’s back yard. Would those who create the litter problem be happy if we canned our dustbins into their homes and emptied them on their living room carpet? It is time, then, legisla
tion was c reated to ensure, for the good of us all, that these aspects are altered. A start would be on-the-spot fines for the litter lout and financial backing for the police to e n s u r e s u f f i c i e n t manpower.

Marketing firm set to leave Valley
E
SABDEN is to lose one of its most successful com- ianies, because PEN Mar- eting Ltd is looking for
new premises out of the Ribble Valley altogether.
The firm, which has
become one of the leading marketing services com panies in the country in its five years’ existence, has outg row n i t s prem ise s . . . and there is nowhere else locally to go.
Head of news, Mrs Mar

Nicholsons will be very sad to leave Sabden, but in a way the company is the victim of its own success. Many of our London-based clients are also sad about the move, as they like visiting our rural area.”
Mrs Parsons said: “The Mrs Parsons said she
had no idea where the company would move to and, when asked how the workers would reach it, she replied: “They will have to come by bus and the Sabden service isn’t the best.”
Fines for firearms offences
A MAN who had not ren ewed his firearm and shot gun certificates had a Remington .22 rifle and a shotgun confiscated by Clitheroe magistrates. John Blanc (43), of The Heaning, Newton-in-Bow-
land, was also fined £200 for having the Remington and £100 for having a shot gun without certificates. In mitigation, Mr Barry
cate he had for a shotgun had expired. He had been sent a reminder, which had been completed and lodged, but the fee for the c e r t i f ic a te had been increased and his cheque was returned to him. Mr Dearing claimed that

Dearing, said that Blanc had used the Remington rifle on a number of occa sions during the summer of 1988. An acquaintance offered him a Brownie rifle and, a f t e r ma k i n g inquiries, Blanc was issued with a permit and new firearms certificate. The Brownie was covered by a three-year certificate and the Remington by a tem porary permit, which Blanc had later failed to renew. In November, a certifi
