Solicitor criticises hospital’s policy of
prosecuting residents A DEFENCE solicitor criticised Calderstones Hospital in court at
Blackburn. Mr Michael Singleton
said its policy of prosecut ing residents was "strange." Steven Peter McDonald
(28), a resident at West Drive, Calderstones, admit ted that he had assaulted a nursing assistant at the hos pital, Mr Richard Harrop. He was given a condi
tional discharge for a year and ordered to pay Mr Harrop £25 compensation. The magistrates heard
that the injured man was knocked to the ground by McDonald, who then rained blows on him. Defence solicitor Mr Sin
gleton suggested that in a compassionate, caring soci ety some measure of toler
ance needed to be excer- cised towards people with severe learning difficulties, -such as his client. Yet the hospital policy
was to report all such mat ters to the police. "It encourages prosecu
tions to be brought - 1 find that policy strange from an organisation that is acting in locum parenti," Mr Sin gleton told the magistrates. He said tha t his client
accepted that he wanted to hurt Mr Harrop. When interviewed, he
told police that Mr Harrop "winds people up all of the time. The others can't defend themselves. He said to me 'Bloody set the table now.' He made me angry and I lost my temper." McDonald had been a
memorial at 11 a.m. on Armistice Day. Staff and pupils of Oakhill College, Whalley, will join Royal British Legion members at the memorial.
PARISHIONERS at Sabden raised their glasses to church warden Ken Hodgson and vicar's wife Jillian Nicholson for pro viding two pairs of helping hands for a church hall improvement scheme. Mr Hodgson, described by his friends as
a "Jack of all trades”, and Mrs Nicholson, who is a dab hand with a sewing machine, joined forces to refurbish the upper hall at
St Nicholas's Church. They were praised for their magnificent
efforts by the vicar, the Rev. Roland Nicholson, at a cheese and wine evening held in the hall to mark the conclusion of
the work. They carried out the renovations them selves and saved the parish thousands of
pounds. The scheme included new heating and
electric lighting and a complete new set of kitchen furniture, plus new carpets, cur tains and tablecloths. The hall was also redecorated. In addition to her needlework skills, Mrs Nicholson took on the role of labourer as
Glasses raised to parish workers Mr Hodgson directed the rewiring and
plumbing work. Mrs Nicholson told the Clitheroe Adver
tiser and Times: "We started the job in January and it has taken us a good many hours over the past 10 months. "But we've enjoyed ;the work, and it is
especially pleasing to see the results.” The materials cost the parish £1,500 and
this money was raised by a variety of activities over the year, including a spon sored run by the vicar, a series of events by the parish rose queen, Clair Bruce, and several coffee evenings organised by Mrs Nicholson. Some 50 parishioners attended the
