Brilliant cricketer and fantastic husband dies after fall


SILENCE preceded local league cricket matches last weekend as a mark of respect for Read club wicket-keeper Mr Peter Worsley, who died following a fall at home.


Father-of-four Mr Worsley (41),


who was known as Ben, fell down the stairs of his house in Stock- bridge Road, Padiham, last Friday


evening. His wife, Elizabeth, who was at home


when the accident happened, called for an ambulance, but attempts by paramedics to save him failed.


1 Mrs Worsley, who married her husband


11 years ago, said: “He was a fantastic man and now he is gone. I can’t believe it.” In Read, where Mr Worsley (pictured)


grew up, team mates abandoned'their match. Mr Worsley had played for the club since boyhood. Club secretary Mr David Marshall


said: "He was a multi-talented person. He was very sociable and it was not just that he was a brilliant wicket-keeper, but a bril­ liant man. "He was always encouraging and very positive, which is why he was so highly


regarded.” Mr Worsley, who worked a t Lucas


before taking a job with RS Plating, Burn­ ley, was also a former goalkeeper for Read Football Club and a member of Padiham Potholing Club. There will be an inquest into his death.

Special Mass to m^trk 200th anniversary of


A SPECIAL thanksgiving Mass on Tuesday marks the joy felt by Clitheroe Roman Catholics at the 200th anniversary of their parish's


founding. An interesting exhibition also


helps to help mark the occasion. There is an open invitation to


anyone to a tten d the evening Mass, which will be led by the Bishop of Salford, the Rt Rev. Ter­ ence Brain. There will be room in the spacious church for a very large congregation. The parish of St Michael and St


John the Evangelist, Clitheroe, started with a handful of followers in a temporary chapel just over four yards square inside a loft. The first purpose-built church


was started shortly afterwards, in July, 1798, and cost £546. The present building dates from 1850 and was opened on the same day as Clitheroe's railway line.

much further building and adapta­ tion to give this large and active parish a v a rie ty of buildings,


including a club. The headmaster of St Michael


and St John's school from 1967 to 1987, Mr Bernard Warren, has written a detailed but very read­ able history of the parish - it reveals that the priests who found­ ed it travelled into the middle of England partly by canal boat. Stonyhurst College plays a big


part in the story, with Fr John Laurenson from there being the main worker for St Michael and St


John's. Mr Thomas Weld, a local


Catholic benefactor, gave the land


celebrate religious milestone Over the years there has been


for the church and school. Mr Warren's history faces the


realities of Clitheroe life, as well as the successful growth of the parish. He quotes from school log books on such matters as mill half- timers...''I have again to complain of the most irregular attendance of the half-timers and! the careless way in which they are looked after by those in authority. I have as a last resort determined to see the inspector of factories and learn if something can be done to remedy the evil." Two boys were later fined 5s. each, a large sum then, for not going to school. The history recalls th a t the


parish was founded against oppo­ sition and bigotry and emphasises


its own increasingly wider outlook in the present century. Things are being placed in a fuller perspective, with a wider concept of mission, writes Mr Warren. He points out that, in addition


to branches of many Catholic reli­ gious organisations, ad hoc groups spring up out of nowhere a t St Michael and St John's in support of various charities and ecumeni­


cal events. Some 500 copies of the history


have been printed and Mr Warren is modest ab o u t the time and effort he has put in to compile it from material collected over the 31 years since he came to the area from Leyland. But he expresses his gratitude to those who have helped, especially the parish priest, Fr Joseph Warning. The exhibition, in the Lower-

Head promises ‘open-style

THE new head teacher at Whalley Pri­ mary School has w r itten to paren ts promising to bring in a new "open style of management". Mr Brian Beresford

started at the school this week, following his appointment


in


CE. He wrote: "I am aware


th a t Whalley CE is a school which serves the community, and th a t the school, with the church, is at the heart of the commu­ nity. I am also aware that the community, and parent body in particular, have a very high standard for, the school and its pupils; I share those expectations." He said the first problem


he had to overcome was to remember the names of the 200 children and their par­ ents a t the school. He urged parents to feel free to approach him. He wrote: "I like to think


th a t I am friendly and approachable. I have an 'open' style of manage­ ment; I believe in talking whenever there is a prob­ lem or issue of concern. Indeed, I would much rather face problems head- on than to hear of discon­ ten t without having the


o p p o rtu n ity to discuss matters with you." He added: "I hope you


will also tell me when you are happy with the work of the school and with the progress your child is mak­ ing." In backing up his senti­


ments, he has organised an open night with new par­ ents at the school tonight in order to get to know them. In his previous job as


head teacher a t St Thomas's CE (Aided School), Barrowford, Mr Beresford helped to bring it up to fourth ou t of 600 schools in the Lancashire p rimary school perfor­ mance tables. He was deputy head teacher a t St


James' CE (Aided) School, , Clitheroe, for 10 y e a rs : before taking'over at Bar­

related to health and safety and food hygiene and are particularly elevated in , relation to pest control and problems with dogs. Last year, 1038 pest related com­ plaints were received, with 335 dog related. With the additional part-time pest control/ dog warden, an average of 91% of all the complaints were looked into within two working days. New Health and Safety


Enforcement Regulations have also recently been introduced and result in a further transfer of business­ es from the Health and Safety Executive to the local authority, including pre-school childcare facili­ ties, mobile vendors, horti­ cultural activities in garden centres and theatres, art galleries and museums. Last year, more than 450


general complaints were received, with an average of 92% of complaints again being looked into within two working days.


Tests show reduction in emissions


TRIAL runs of the new £5m. emission scrubber at Castle Cement, Clitheroe, are under way. General manager Mr Ian


Sutheran told the Advertis­ er and Times this week: "Our firs t results have shown that, as expected, the scrubber achieves a large reduction in the emis­ sion of 'acid rain' gases. "The scrubber

Castle Cement continues v'l ■:^ ;


to emphasise th a t the investment involved, plus the £2,000-plus the scrub­ ber costs to run every day, shows its commitment to the environment. The scrubber is the first


of its kind in the country and i t is not known how long the tests will take. But work is going on as fast as possible, says the company.
