The name of brave sports campaigner Doreen Euinton will live on at Roefield Leisure Centre — the showpiece sports complex she, above


anyone else, helped to create. ------------------------------------------- Members of the Rotary Club of Ribblesdale nomin­ ated her for their move­ ment’s highest honour, the Paul Harris Fellowship Award, but she died last year before they could present it to her. How ev e r , only days


before she passed away, R tn R o g e r t H i r s t informed her about the award and, on the day of her funeral in October, president Mr Brian Haig presented it to her family. Her relatives, in turn,


decided to present the award to Roefield and the Rotary Club arranged an unveiling ceremony by Clitheroe Mayor Coun. Stephen Holt. The framed certificate


and medal have .been mounted on the wall in the foyer, so that visitors to the centre for generations to come may know of her lifetime’s work for the local sports scene. The inscription says


that “the award was made on behalf of a grateful community by the Rotary Club of Ribblesdale in remembrance of an inde­ fatigable fighter, without whose efforts this sports centre would not exist”. Mrs Euinton, of Ribb­


lesdale View, Chatburn, who was wheelchair-bound with osteo-arthritis during


the latter part of her life, had been a founder mem­ ber of the Ribble Valley Sports and Recreation Council, which battled long and hard over many years for a purpose-built shorts centre for the Rib-


ness, £500,000 fund-raising, which resulted in the opening of the privately- run centre in 1991. “This sporting complex a fitting trib

Fright — but this beetle turns out to be harmless


AN ugly discovery on the banks of the River Ribble led to fears that the area was about to be invaded by the crop-ravaging


Colorado beetle. Whilst enjoying a


picnic during the recent spelj of hot weather,


Billington teenager Paul Keirby (15) found a large, strange-Iooking insect in the reeds growing by the water’s edge. Paul’s mother, Mrs


Lily Keirby, of Billington Gardens, explains: “We didn’t know what it was; I have never seen anything like it before. I wondered whether it might be a Colorado beetle, so we caught it in a plastic con-


tainer and took it to Clitheroe police station.” However, thankfully,


it turned out to be a false


alarm, as the large, salmon-coloured creepy-crawly was finally


identified as a harmless cockchafer beetle, a type


of insect that commonly lives in trees. Mrs Keirby said:


“When we saw the poster warning people to be on their guard against Colorado beetles, we realised that our beetle was quite different. The next day, we received a telephone call from the police confirming that our feairs had been groundless, as our friend was not an illegal immigrant after all!” Colorado beetles have


a distinctive appearance, being around half an


inch long. They are predominantly yellow with black stripes.


Anyone who suspects


that they have found one should inform either the local police or the Ministry of Agriculture,


Fisheries nnd Food. Our picture shows the


cockchafer, whose size and appearance might give someone a needless fright, although it is nothing more than a harmless member of our local wildlife population.


CLITHEROE, one of Lancashire’s oldest boroughs, has a new tourist


guide — and one with a difference! k V o n « t O


Whalley, have produced the booklet, priced at 85p, which is intended for children of their


Eight Year 8 pupils from Oakhill College, iriceci

own age. i It was officially launched in the new market place i the type of cei


local celebrities. But then, their eight-page guide, with an alter­


native view of Clitheroe town centre, has all the trappings of a well-researched masterpiece.


The children sr where they (tool


and features researched thei textsahdcompletecf tfieir own draw­ ings and layout. At the new market place launch, the children pre­


sented a guide to the Ribble Valley Mayor, Coun. Dorothy Pearson, after which they sold copies to shoppers.


• The guide has been put together by 12-year-olds,^ for 12-year-olds and it is their own idea. On visits to other areas, the schoolchildren have to buy guides from a national series and they thought that they could produce their own. The new Clitheroe tourist guide is now on sale at


outlets in the town, including the railway station, Cowgill’s, the library and the tourist information


centre. Anyone else interested in selling the booklet should contact the college or Mr Keith Taylor at the Station Gallery (tel: 01200 443800). Coun. Pearson is pictured accepting her issue of the new guide from the eight Oakhill children. -
