Busy Charlotte wins our junior reader prize


'


A W E S T It R AD FO RD 10-year-old who loves reading mysteries is the most recent winner of our Junior Rentier o f the Month competition. Charlotte Kccles, of


W a d d i n g t o n It o a d , reviewed Reman! Ash­ ley's “ I'm trying to tell you." Her favourite subjects


at St I .conurd's Primary School, Langho, are art,


gym and Charlotte


1 technology, also plays the


keyboard and is a Itlack- hurn Rovers fan. The following is her


winning review: “ In this book, there are


four stories. These stories tire written by four chil­ dren in the stone class at Saffm Street School. “ The main characters


tire Norissa who writes the firs t story culled “Monday Morning.” Kay is next and he writes a story called “Sir's New Car.” I.yn writes the third story. This is called “ Dear Ri ch.” Next up is Prakash Patel whose story is “ Kenny's Red L e t te r


Hay.” “ My favourite stories


tire “Sir’s New Cur” by Ray and “Dear Rren" by I.yn. My worst story is “ I .eniiy’s Red Letter Day"


by Prakash. The thing 1


.iked about “ Sir's New Car" was that it was funny especially the bit where they make up which mem­ ber of Rapid owned the


car. “ I also liked how the


author made you think they were at schoo because they had lots of enthusiasm and I hey had funny squabbles. The tiling I liked about "Dear Rren" was that she told Rren everything that you


would tell a sister and she told her mum and dad everythin); you would tell


a mum and dad.” Goodies all round from Santa


Clitheroe Advertiser X- Times, December tilth tutu


Mayor vows: ‘we’ll carry on fighting’


“W E will fight on!” That was the message delivered to the area’s press by Kibble Valley Mayor Coun. Tony Jackson and director ol environmental services Mr David Morris at an


informal briefing on Monday. Representatives of the


“ Advertiser and Times/’ the “ Longridge News,” the “ Lancashire Kvening


Telegraph” and the Kibble Valley Council press group


gathered in the civic suite following a lunchtime reception. The Mayor broke his Christmas visits schedule to convey his thanks to the local press for recent pub­ l ic i ty re g a rd in g the


reorganisation of local government, making par­ ticular mention of last week’s “ Advertiser and Times” front page story “ They ’ re ready to do battle.” He thanked the press


for their help during the year, stating: "It is essen­ tial that we have a good press and a free press.” Mr Morris apologised


for the absence of chief executive Mr Ossie Hop­ kins, before giving a brief update on the situation regarding local govern­ ment reform. Mr Hopkins and Coun.


Ted Roden (Chatburn) had, he said, attended a meeting on Friday. There was no change in the two options which involved the carve-up of the Kibble


Valley. The original resolution


to support Id district councils based on the existing boundaries, doing away with Lancashire County Council, was again put forward, proposed by South Kibble and seconded by Kibble Valley, but was


lost by six votes to five, with three absentions. AI further meeting is to be


held in the New Year. The Mayor commented
