Golfer Kim’s Chile world cup dream hangs in balance


by George Embley


GOLF ace Kim Andrew's world cup dream still


hangs in the balance. The 24-year-old Clitheroe


Golf Club member and England number one will learn later today whether she will be able to fly out to Chile tomorrow to compete against 35 other nations in the Esprito Santo Trophy. Great Britain and Ire­

home yesterday, Kim said:


"It would set the seal on a magnificent year for me if I


could play in this event. "It would be a great hon­


our to compete against the world's best and I am pre­ pared and ready to go. "But there is more to life


than golf and if there is any danger involved it would be sensible to pull out." The Foreign Office has advised against non-essen-

high. There have been reports


of abuse and physical assaults on persons mistak­ enly identified as British. Curtis Cup s ta r Kim

Generations of remembrance


ON. National Poppy Day on Saturday, three generations of a Clitheroe family will be helping Ribbie Valley folk to remember those who have served in the


forces. Mrs Marilyn Harris (70), her


daughter Mrs Carolyn Nairn (43),


her son-in-law David (50) and her two granddaughters'Sally-Anne'(22) ’and Kris tine (17) will all take to the streets rattling the tins and handing


out the poppies. Over the last 20 years, Mrs Harris


has been collecting for the fund and now her daughter and granddaugh­


ters are following suit. Her late husband, Ben, who died


four years ago, served as a naval sea­ man and was involved in the D-day


landings. A prominent figure in the Chatbum branch of the Royal British Legion, Mr Harris cycled from Glas­ gow to London in 1984 to raise money for the organisation. He used to regale his daughter and


granddaughters with stories about the war and it was through his recol­ lections and Mrs Harris's shining example th a t they all became


Mrs Harris said: "I always wanted


to do something to help, because I was just too young to join the forces at the time of the war and I felt I owed something. My granddaughters came along with us when they were younger and now they are over 16 years of age they have started collecting in their own right and I am very proud of


them. Asthma inhaler breakthrough Christmas At.... by Vicky Carlin


CLITHEROE firm 3M Neotechnic has played a major role in the development of a revolutionary, environ- mentally-friendly treatment


for asthma sufferers. In 1995 the company, based at


Up Brooks, was the first in the world to produce a CFC-free salbu- tamol asthma inhaler, called an Airomir. Now, after five years of research and development, new valve technology has brought about the launch of the pioneering Qvar inhaler, the UK's first CFC- free beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) asthma inhaler. "It's good news for the 3.4 million

THE Crown Prosecu­ tion Service has dropped a charge alleg­ ing the manslaughter of Mark Hall which was brought against Neil Anthony Morton fol­ lowing an incident in Clitheroe in June.


Morton (27), whose


address was not given in court, was committed on bail by Blackburn magis­ trates to stand trial at Pre­ ston Crown Court on a charge of wounding Mr Hall, of Dowham. He was charged with the


charge was added on Sep­ tember 29th, three weeks after Mr Hall died sudden­ ly at his home. In court on Monday, Mr

David Macro, for the CPS, applied to the magistrates to discharge the charge of manslaughter." Morton's bail was condi­ tional on a surety of £3,000,


which has been provided by his mother, Betty Morton. He is not to contact wit­ nesses and he is subject to a curfew, which was varied at the request of his solicitor, Miss Emma Morrissey, to between 1 a.m. and 8 p.m. The variation was to allow Morton to start work as a waiter in a pub.


In a separate case, Mor­


to n was also charged, together with Paul. Alan Reilly (22), of no fixed address, with assaulting Paul Smith causing actual bodily harm on August 29th. Both men were com­ mitted to Preston Crown Court for trial, Morton on; bail and Reilly in custody.

"Poppy collections are very impor­


tant because, apart from the fact that they help many veterans who were maimed and disabled, the collection also helps us to remember the horrors of war. Some people say we try to glo­ rify war, but there are few ex-service­ men who will tell you that there is any glory in war. We need to keep remem­ bering and we need to raise funds for those who have served the country - there are so many of them, from the Second World War to the Falklands


and Northern Ireland." Our picture shows three generations


. generating money for ex-servicemen: Mrs Harris, Mr and Mrs David Naim and their daughters, Kristine and Sally-Anne Naim, rattling the collec­


tion tins. (311098/15/07) _______
