Once again, the children of St
Augustine’s RC High School are telling the story of a world-wide environmen tal issue, through their music, to an international audience.
The latest in a. succession of suc cessful World Wide Fund for Nature-
commissioned musicals is being pre miered by 175 St Augustine’s pupils on Monday, at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, on London’s South Bank. ‘ The school’s head of music, Peter
Rose, and his colleague, Colne-based teacher Anne Conlon, have written the musical and it is expected to receive the same international acclaim as their earlier productions of “Yanamamo” — which Sting performed in New York — “African J ig saw ’’ and “Ocean World”. -

will be the Royal Shakespeare Com pany’s Bert Caesar. The production will come to the
Palace Theatre, Manchester, on June 23rd, and King George’s Hall, Black burn, on June 29th.
Focus is on farmland birdlife
FARMLAND birdlife is the focus of a forth
coming special event
in the Ribble Valley. The decline of British
farmland birds such as the com bunting and the sky lark is the theme of this year’s Farm Walk Week. Bird enth usiasts can
attend a bird conservation, walk a t Harrop Fold Farm, Bolton-by-Bow- land, on June 4th, at 7 p.m. Farm Walk Week is a
national event, organised by the Farming and Wild life Advisory Group, this year in conjunction with th e B r i t ish T ru s t for
Ornithology. Further details of the
Bolton-by-Bowland walk
are available from Mr Jeff Simpkin on 01995 640611.
Young farmers win top awards
TWO leading members of the local young farm ers* movement have won prestigious county
awards. Julie Bennett, of Moss Street, Clitheroe, and Paul
year as president, picked the pair for their outstanding voluntary services to the federation during a time of s ta ff reorganisation at the YFC headquarters at Clitheroe. Julie, who is a management employee at the ICI
Morris, of Goodshaw Farm, Dutton, were chosen from among 1,000 contenders county-wide for the president’s awards connected with the Lancashire Federation of Young Fanners’Clubs. Hurst Green farmer Mr David Kay, now in his third
plant in Clithcroe, is a current member and past chair man of Chipping YFC. Paul, a Lancashire County Coun cil employee at County Hall, Preston, is a current member and past leader of Clitheorc YFC. “It is quite rare for both awards to go to the Ribblc
Valley as YFC members from throughout Lancashire are all contenders,” said Mr Kay, of Greengore Farm. “The president has sole discretion over who should receive the awards. This year, Julie and Paul gave invaluable help while we were making major staff changes. They were particularly helpful with the com puters and the upkeep of the building.” The awards, crystal decanters, were donated by Clith eroe animal feed company B. Dugdnle and Son Ltd.

WHERE there’s a will there’s a way — and,for people who die without making one, there can be a lot of heartache for those left behind. The Law Society recommends that people review
their wills every three to five years, as family cir cumstances change. Your children may now be adults and you may
wish to appoint them as executors. You may have more assets now than at the time you made your initial will and,if you readjust it, you may be able to lessen the terms of inheritance tax for your children. Making a will is one of the most important things

More and more people arc choosing to live together,
but despite many misconceptions there is little protec tion for cohabitees, even when the relationship has lasted for many years.
Once the partnership breaks up, problems often
arise, particularly if property or children are involved. Breakdown of marriage is another common factor
in today’s society and, to obtain a divorce, it is neces sary to* show a court that the marriage has “irretriev ably broken down.” There are a number of ways this can be dorie and your solicitor is the best person to advise you; not parents, aunts, cousins, in fact Uncle Tom Cobley and all!
Today, divorce can be handled discreetly without
public disclosure of personal details. Arrangements for children and sorting out prop
