coach, teacher Mrs Cath Leigh, said the secret of the team's success was their commitment to training. She commented: "The children gave
up a lot of their time to practise, using Clitheroe Royal Grammar School's facilities, and spent every lunch time for a fortnight leading up to the tourna ment practising their skills. There are currently 20 young-sters in
the school's squad, with seven, five [ilayers and two reserves, taking part in
the event. Mrs Leigh added; "The tournament
was very friendly and the team thor oughly enjoyed themselves. I would like to say a special thank you St .lames s for hosting the event and to teacher Miss Fiona Robinson, who organised it

Healthy report for the area - but region has problems to tackle
W e are at the bot tom of statistics for drug abuse and teenage pregnancy
AS usual, the Kibble Valley comes out well in the annual report of the East Lancashire Health Authority.
____________________ But the report high
lights a number of chal lenges for the area as a whole. Some need to be tackled in new ways for a variety of reasons, says the Director of Public Health, Dr Stephen Mor
ton. Although the report is for
last year, the figures are for
previous ones. They show that the Kib
ble Valley was lowest in North East Lancashire for drug misuse, with three out of every thousand men in their 20s being seen by clin ics, against an average of 12. The figure in Blackburn and Burnley was almost 18. In the years 1994-G, about five girls per thou-

sand in the age bracket 13 to 15 conceived - half the authority average, as the figure almost everywhere else was 10. The report gives no idea of how inany pregnancies were terminat
ed. Some 56 women out of
every 1,000 living in the Kibble Valley gave birth in 1997, against an average of 65, with 74 in Blackburn and 59 in the next lowest, Rossendale. Seven per cent of the 530
babies born were under the average weight, less than the average of 8.5 per cent. In the years 1990 - 1995,

EVEN the most regular of regulars would now be hard pushed to recognise the bar
in Clitheroe’s revamped Station Hotel, which re-opened this week.
A Six figure investment has seen the King Street public house closed for a total transformation, which is set to make it one of the town’s top meeting and eating places.
Landlord and landlady Mr and Mrs Derek Gooden arrived at the Station Hotel last May to restore it to former glories at the heart of Clitheroe life. Having met when they both worked at old Dutton's Breweo' in Blackburn, the couple have chalked up over 30 years experience m licensed trade as mine hosts of pubs from Halifax to Blackpool and Lancaster to Cambridge.

Working with architects, builders and electricians, they have been involved Hotel's overhaul and are confident that the changes made, both big and small, will be we corned
enthusiastically, not only by former patrons but by what they hope will become new regulars impressed by their attention to detail.
The new Station Hotel boasts Clitheroe's longest single bar, wliich stretches over 30 feet and is stocked with an unrivalled range ofThwaites' traditional bitters and milds, draught Guinness and Guinness Extra Cold, bottled beers, wines and spirits.
At each end. cosy seated nool<s provide for a more intimate setting, but the Goodens have had interior walls removed to create an extensive standing area In front of the bar which, because of Its vastness, should allow visitors to enjoy their drinlts in comfort even on _ -
the busiest of evenings, i.t
Comfort is something the pair take very seriously. For lady patrons, a large and airy powder room has been created, while they have also insisted on the addition of disabled toilet facilities.

that Rotary will also help less public causes wherever appropriate. A member for nine years, Mr Cunliffe is a for mer treasurer of the Clitheroe club. He came to the area in 1974 as head of Waddington and

coronary heart disease was less of a problem in the Kib ble Valley than elsewhere in the area. The figure was just less than 100, against an average of 130 and about 140 in several places. Dr Morton says that
heart disease needs to be tackled by identification and management of people at high risk and treatment of its various aspects.
Mental health promotion
is also highlighted in the report, with ideas for tar geting people at risk from problems. Dr Morton emphasises that a consider able amount of emotional and psychological stress is undetected. The report points out
that East Lancashire has had consistently higher
death rates from accidents than elsewhere. In some boroughs, elderly people falling push up the figures. The diagnosis and treat
ment of various cancers is reviewed in the report, but it says that difficulties in recruitment has led to frus trating hold-ups. However, a systematic approach which has already benefited treatment of common can cers is now being extended to rarer ones. The health authority needs to ensure that investment is balanced across all services for the prevention and treatment
of illness.
Two Pendle Hill walks by ramblers mark midsummer
T H E Clitheroe group of the Ramblers' Associa tion celebrated midsummer with two walks on
Pendle Hill. Starting from Barley car
park, the A party, led by Bat Barrott, walked past the reservoirs in Ogden Clough, before climbing to roach the summit of Bendle. They took a short detour from the trig point to look at the stone-flagged path which has been made down to the dough and connects with the path from the Nick of Bendle. This is already reducing erosion along the route and the stone flags blond harmoniously with the wild landscape on top of
the hill. Returning to the trig
point, the party followed the cliff edge and descended the steep path down to Pen dle House, from where they followed field paths back to Barley. The B party took a less
strenuous route and was led by Norman Thorpe. Ho also took his party along Ogden Clough, as far as the dam at Upper Ogdon Reser voir. They turned sharply uphill at this point, to pass through Buttock, out on to the bridleway which runs above the intake wall and
along the open fell as far as
Pendle House. The farm track was fol
lowed to Barley Lane and they then dropped down along field paths through Windy Harbour Farm to reach the dam at Lower Black Moss reservoir. A gentle descent through
Over Houses brought them back into Barley and a warm welcome at the Pen dle Inn, where a fine selec tion of bar snacks awaited
them. This mid-summer social
event took the place of the end of season barbecue, which is usually held in Sep tember. It was brought for ward to mid-summer to utilise the extra daylight and enable more interesting walks to be arranged. The 42 ramblers who supported the event all voted that the evening had been a huge success and hoped that it would be repeated in future
years. The next Wednesday
evening walk will start from Hurst Green at 7 p.m. For further details, ring 01254 826462.
