Air rifle offence brings fine


of £80 AFTER admitting tres­ pass and air rifle offences, Tyrone Michael Henshaw was fined by Clitheroe magistrates. Henshaw (20), of Union


Street, Low Moor, was fined £12 for trespassing on land in pursuit of game and £80 for entering pri­ vate land with an air rifle. He was also ordered .to pay £20 costs. Miss Patricia Bramley,


prosecuting, said that a police officer entered the grounds of Waddow Hall, Waddington, and saw three youths. Henshaw had a rifle


under his right arm. The officer asked the defen­ dant what he was looking for, to which he replied:


“ Rabbits, wood pigeons, anything really.” The officer also saw a bag which contained .another air rifle. In mitigation, Mr David


Parkinson said that, three weeks before the offence, the defendant purchased an air rifle in Preston, but sent it back because it was broken. He had got it back on the day of the incident. The court heard that


Henshaw had permission from a local farmer to shoot on his land and must have strayed on to private- land. Mr Parkinson said that Henshaw did know he was on private land. He added that Henshaw


had never been in court before.


Soldier is traced to Canada


THE hunt for a Ribble V a l l e y s o ld i e r who befriended a German cou­ ple while stationed abroad has ended in Canada. Diana and Dima Mon-


dcllo, who are visiting an aunt in Clitheroe later this month, were hoping for a reunion with their lost friend, Michael Williams, who often spoke to them of his home in the Ribble Valley. An a r t i c l e in the


“Advertiser and Times” caught the attention of his parents, who l iv e in Langho. Unfortunately, Michael has moved to Canada, but at least the threesome can resume contact by post, if not in person. Diana is the cousin of


Mr Ronald Loebell, of- Edislord Road, and niece of Mrs Mary Loebell, of Monk S t r e e t , whose brother was married to a German woman. Ironi­ cally, Dima is English as well. The couple, who live in Celle, near Hanover, met when the Army posted him to Germany.

Afternoon tea treat


AN afternoon tea at St Michael and St John’s Social Centre on Saturday afternoon raised £50 for the church’s Scouts, Cubs,


Guides and Brownies. Tea and cream scones


were on sale, along with jew e l le ry , books and


bric-a-brac. A spokesman for the


event thanked parents who provided goods for the stalls and all -who helped on Saturday after- noon. The strawberries provided by Burney’s fruit and vegetable stall on Clitheroe market were also appreciated. The money raised will


go towards the upkeep of rooms and the genera running of the groups and is one of a number of fund ra is in g e v en ts held


annually.


Had to clear beer cans before we could play


A SUNDAY evening stroll to the Castle with the family should be a pleasant way to end a weekend. How wrong could I be?


plea The intention was to


kick a ball around on the playing field. In the end, we only managed to play for about five minutes. Before we could start we had to make some room. This involved picking up empty drinks cans (mainly beer)", some crushed, some split with jagged edges. In total, 7S cans were


picked up and this was from just one area of the Castle grounds. I f we had collected all the empty wine and spirit bottles as well, we would have been' there until darkness fell. One thing we did notice


on leaving the Castle with our collection was that the cans we had just picked up were about to be replaced. Several teenagers, none of whom appeared to be over the age of 16, walked on to


the Castle field carrying a carrier bag full of beer cans — presumably to fin­ ish off the weekend on a high note!


Three questions imme­


diately spring to mind: 1. Do the owners of


whichever off-licence sold the beer realise they have committed an offence? 2. Are the parents of


these teenagers aware of what they are doing? 3. Do the teenagers themselves, know of the


possible dangers, to them­ selves and others, asso­ ciated with alcohol?


The only people who can


answer these questions are the people concerned. Until attitudes start to


change towards this prob­ lem, all that can be asked is that the persons con­ cerned consider the needs of other users and take their empty cans and bot­ tles home with them at the end of the evening — if they dare!

THE letter from Doris Brown depicts vividly the concern felt by many people over the Sunday markets held at Brookhouse Farm,


Legislation needed on the markets j


Letters to the E d ito r


Wh alley. She also highlights the


crux of the matter when she defines the two main problems as the misery caused to local residents by the traffic jams and the potentially dangerous situation concerning the lack of free access for emergency services.


Although both Ribble


Valley Borough Council and the police are well aware of the problems, under permitted devel-


opment rights the owner of the land is allowed to hold up to 14 markets each year without the need to a p p 1 y f o r p 1 a n n i n g permission. The council has very


limited powers with which to exert any real control over attractions of this sort and lack of manpower means th a t p o I i c e resources are considerably stretched, particularly at weekends, when other events are likely to be held in the area. It is not disputed that


Sunday markets provide a source of enjoyment for many people and, where appropriately located, like tne Sunday market in Clitheroe, do not cause problems. The market at


•Brookhouse Farm IS a problem, because the site and the roads leading to it are unable to cope with the t r a f f ic which it generates. Our former MP, Mr


Michael Carr, agreed that the situation in Whalley had become intolerable. Until his defeat in the


Parental indifference is partly to blame


I HAVE read with considerable interest over recent weeks the com­ ments in your paper on two apparently dissimilar issues, smoking in public places and vandalism/assaulls in the town.


(By the way, 1 have


never understood why so many of your correspon­ dents feel the need to hide behind pseudonymity: ‘total anti-smoker,” for example, has some impor­ tant points to make; surely he or she does not fear reprisals? What has hap­ pened to freedom of speech?) I wonder whether there


might be a link? I was both saddened and horri­ fied to witness in town this past weekend an obviously pregnant woman smoking. The evidence of medical harm caused by smoking to “ active” and to “ pas­ sive” smokers is now both well-known and incontro­ vertible. Just as well- known and, no doubt, fre­ quently stressed to preg­ nant women at clinics, is the harm done to the unborn child. If, in the light of all this


information, one cannot simply assume ignorance on the part of the parent- to-be, then does it not seem reasonable to assume negligence? I f a parent is negligent, or otherwise lacking in care and concern towards the unborn child, then why should its upbringing be treated any differently? How can such a child learn to live with love and concern for those


around him/her? Whoever is perpetrating


these incidents of assault and damage in our town — and I understand that some, at least, are quite young and also that many of the incidents occur well into the night hours — then there are probably parents at home. What responsibility are


these parents taking for their children? Are they even aware that the tod­ dler and child they have raised is now out causing damage to person and property? Do they care? Now I am fully aware


that the roots of such behaviour are complex; nevertheless I suspect that among the causes of anti-social behaviour is to be found considerable parental indifference to the lifestyles of their children. Until all those who are


privileged — and it is a privilege, not a right-with- out-responsibility, to bring new life into our troubled world — face up to the responsibilities entailed in doing so — and, again, I recognise that the irre­ sponsible are probably a minority, albeit a signifi­ cant minority — then we can only expect this sort of behaviour to flourish, despite the best efforts of


my good colleague and friend, the Mayor, Coun. John Travis.


TH E R E V . P E T E R SHEPHERD, Homestead, Eastham Street, Clitheroe.


AS liibblcsdalc High and Pendle Junior Schools celebrate their diamond jubilees, some former pupils are remembering their final year at the National School, which


closed lo make way for the new schools. The school in Moor Lane for children aged five


recent General Election, lie was actively pursuing a solution involving new legislation. What is needed is a sys­


tem of licensing for Sun­ day markets which would take into account the suit­ ability of the site and the level of disruption likely to be caused to local resi­ dents. Those sites unable to satisfy basic conditions of acceptability would quite simply not receive licences.


This is not just a local


issue, but something which is giving rise to con­ cern in various places, with similar problems across the country. It requires national legisla­ tion to deal with it and this can surely be achieved if enough of our MPs have the will to work towards this end.


People in Whalley can


bring pressure to bear by making sure our new MP is fully aware of the situa­ tion and of the level of


concern fe l l by those affected. Let us hope he will then take up the fight where Michael Carr unfortunately, was obliged to leave it.

Make the vandals clean up to put them on ‘show’


SOMETHING must be clone about Clitheroe’s vandals. Why should they get away with spoil­ ing our lovely town and frightening the older and younger people?


1 d on ’ t know the


answer, but here are a few thoughts on the matter: 1. Do they realise that


putting things right may be costing them money, or their parents — to say nothing of us, the inno­ cents — with higher com­ munity charges? 2. Is it possible to make them help to put things

right, like putting in more plants or building a new dog loo, or mowing grass wi th an old manua 1 machine? 3. Could they be given


community service, like picking up litter or sweep ing dirty streets, which would put them “on show and could act as deterrent? J . I have re c en t ly


returned from California and was amazed to find no dog dirt. Coming home, 1 am sickened by it, and I own a dog and, yes, I pick it up. How about the “star prize” for vandals, with them being m a d c remove all visible signs of dog faeces from our neigh bourhoods (that would keep them busy for while)? We should also fine guilty dog owners. I am ashamed to be British, at times.

to Li, with its eight rooms and smoky coke boiler, was located in the space now occupied by Approved Electronics. Headmaster of the upper school was Mr Arthur Langshaw and headmistress of the lower school was Miss Kitty llushton, who were pictured in the "Advertiser and Times” last week in a photograph taken at the opening of Ribblesdale, where they continued their leadership, assisted by teachers Miss Roberts and Miss Cowman. The above photo was loaned by Mrs Helen Rod-


well. It was taken by Mr Ronald I’yc in July 1932, near the rose garden in the Castle grounds. Mrs Rodwell, who was eight at the time, is pic­


tured in the front row. Others in the photo include her sister, I’cggy Hinchliff, Jeff Banks, Kenneth Turner, Kathleen Ililder, Edna Hudson, Nora Por­ ter, Peggy Safton and Kenneth Walsh, who owns the o r ig inal photograph and now lives in

Unusual jewellery


on display IF unusual hand-crafted


jewellery captures your imagination, then visit Clitheroe, Whalley or Longridge library from next Saturday. Exhibitions of jewellery


have been organised by Carol Fielding, of Whal­ ley, whose “ Touch of Class” business markets hand-made jewellery from w i d e v a r i e t y of


designers. The jewellery on display


covers a range of styles and tastes, from classic Austrian crystal and antique-style brooches to designer and leather wear. To complement the collec­ tion, one of the designers has created a range of unusual mirrors and is w il lin g t o t a k e commissions. Mrs Fielding sells her


jewellery privately, taking it out to groups or individ­ uals, rather than working through a shop. She cur rently markets products from about 17 designers,


most of whom work in the East Lancashire area. The exhibition runs until July 25th.


Fine of £100 for speeding


AFTER pleading guilty to a motoring offence, jour­ nalist Joanne Louise Dug- dale was fined by the town’s magistrates.


Dugdale (IS), of 53 Park


Avenue, Clitheroe, was fined £100, ordered to pay £20 costs and had her licence endorsed with three penalty points when she admitted driving a car at a speed exceeding 30 m.p.h.


Miss Patricia Bramley,


prosecuting, said that an officer on duty on Crow- trees Brow with radar equipment recorded the defendant travelling at 53


m.p.h. In mitigation, the defen­


dant, who represented herself, said she accepted that she did speed, but said she had just left a 60 m.p.h. area and was slow­ ing down.
