DalesRail problems;


hit service-


PROBLEMS with service interruptions cut the num­ ber of people using the pop­ ular. DalesRail service, through the Ribble Valley this sumer. The Sunday trains run


from both Blackpool and Preston to Carlisle, and had 8,000 passengers this time' less than previously. - - A report to the Public


Transport Committee of the county council, one of five partners running the scheme, says that a freight train derailment affecting two Sundays, a landslip blocking the line on seven, and generally poor weather throughout the summer affected bookings.


But, said the report, it


was pleasing to note that the number of passengers who: were also walkers increased. Railtrack sup­ ported the operation of a one-off bus link to help with the landslip problem. The report says that


plans for the 1999 season are well advanced. The first train will be on April 4th.

was told that, after daubing shoe polish around the home of Louise Hacking and professing his love for her by scrawling on a wall with lipstick, Charles Fowler (25), of Eastmoor Drive, rang police and con­ fessed, saying he was suici­ dal.


and left to thaw, and eggs were smashed on the floor. Curtains had been pulled down and a washing machine door broken, as well as a panel in'the . kitchen door.


■' Mr Darrel Crilley, prose­


cuting, told the court that Miss Hacking lived in Bol- . land Prospect, Clitheroe, and that the couple had a young son ■. She had started a new relationship and the trouble escalated. ■ ■ On October 17th, Miss


Hacking went away to Carlisle for the weekend. At 4-40 a.m. police received a' call from Fowler, who said he was responsible for caus­ ing serious damage at her home. Fowler said he con­ sidered himself to be suici­ dal. Police took him to Miss Hacking's home, which was


in a sorry state. ■ "It was a serious and sub­


stantial act of vandalism," said Mr Crilley, who out­ lined the extent of the dam­ age to the court. In the kitchen, black shoe


polish was smeared all over and blackcurrant put in the cooker. Food had been removed from the freezer


tains damaged. In the bath­ room,, shampoo.had been:


emptied in the sink and per-, sonal effects put in the toi­ let. In the bedroom, clothes.; had been ripped \ and:, daubed in nail varnish. < On the walls.Fowler, had

In the lounge, the settee -


was slashed and daubed ;; with shoe polish and cur- ■


dent at the property, but police were called, and on a third ' occasion: Fowler ■ shouted abuse and began going through a,chest of drawers. He' leftfbefore police arrived: Mr Robert Baldwin, - defending;,said:,I'This.is,.a;

’decent young manwith'a 'blind spot, that is his failure , to accept the break-up of --X the relationship. He could .,


jiot come to terms that the : mother of; his son was see-,,;

.written "I love you" with . lipstick. The hall had simi-, lar damage to the rest of the ■ house. ... • Mr Crilley said Fowler-,


left a note written: on card­ board saying: VI love you, but you turned out to.be a - slut: I ’ve gone to heaven,.. . T>.love you, goodnight."


Fowler, said Mr Crilley, also faced a harassment charge, which related to his inabili­ ty to accept the new rela­ tionship. He went round to Miss Hacking's f lat and verbally attacked her. and made unsavoury accusa­ tions. He pulled the tele­ phone from the socket to stop Miss Hacking calling the police.


when he vandalised Miss Hacking's home and he was now ashamed.; He had been in' custody since November 12th and had learnt his les-;. son; Spending 18 hours ah day in a cell had given him . ■ plenty of time to think about the relationship. . . • Judge Brian DuckwOTth,


told Fowler: "This .was a- despicable piece of, behav-. iour." .


Fowler was committed _ ■ ■ There was a further inci­


for sentence for offences of burglary and harassment and he was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment, suspended for two years, with a suspended sentence supervision order attached., He was also ordered to pay £500 compensation.

deserving children. As they arrived, some 80 visitors were


served with mulled wine and canapes, and serenaded by the John Ilesketh Quartet. They sang carols round the Christmas


| tree and met staff and children visiting for the day.


| The manor was founded in 1927 with donations from Hyndburn and has since received support from the Ribble Valley. Mayors from Clitheroe, Ribble Valley


and Hyndburn were among the guests. This time, the event was sponsored by sev­ eral businesses both inside and outside the


Ribble Valley. A spokesman for the charity, Mr Steve,


Cook, said that there was a happy atmos­ phere throughout the afternoon and that all profits would go to the charity.' Chaigley Manor not only provides


accommodation for deserving children, but is also available for such groups asWIs, col­ leges, and church organisations. Our pictures shows civic dignitaries and


other guests at the carols and canapes event. (141298/14/12)

I club did well, coming fourth out of 13. Philip Anforth, Stuart Clark, Raymond Greenwood and Roy Mason


all scored solidly, getting eight or nine out of ten and only just falling short of the


| winners. At an extra seminar


meeting, member John West, FRPS, demonstrated digital manipulation of photographs, using a com­ puter. Many subjects were covered, from removing colour casts and unwanted aerials on old buildings to putting in figures. Creative work was demonstrated, from false colours to imita­ tion pen and wash draw­ ings. A range of members was present, from those who simply want to tidy up their images to those who would like to create the sort of work which has brought John such success in inter­ national competitions. The meeting was very welcome as it helped the


debate between those who have no objection to digital techniques and those who see photography as only images produced by wet chemistry to better informed. More and more club


members are obtaining their own computer equip­ ment and will produce work by both media , as appro­ priate. The next meeting will be


in the Chatburn clubroom on Tuesday, January 5th, at 7 30 p. m. A recorded pre­ sentation of the Vancouver Inter-nation Club Slide Challenge promises to show the cream of world club photography.
