local projects. In just one month, the
youngsters raised over £800 through various sponsored initiatives for the children’s
charity Barnardo's. Their efforts were recog

(280299/19/15a) _____________________ Plenty of bulls on offer
T1IK first opportunity of selling mule cuttle after the retention period awaited patrons of Clitheroe Auction Mart's weekly sale of prime cattle, sheep and calves on Monday. A good number of bulls w;is on
offer, mostly Kricsians, and the best of these sold at around 93p per kilogram, a surprising figure and not far behind that for Conti nental bulls. Bulls: prime made to f)7p (average 93.67p), commercial to
88p (82.-13p). Steers: prime made to lOup
(105p), commercial to 81)p (87p) Heifers: premium made to 118p (118))), prime to flop
(92.8Gp), commercial to 89p
(85.3-lp). Sheep continued to arrive in
good numbers and Monday saw a better-quality show than of late. Prime hoggs: light made to
80.65p (74.33p), standard to 92.89p (77.13p), medium to 93.1Gp (84.01p), heavy to 87.7Gp (81.70), overweight to 61.94p

Action urged over sheep dip spill
danger to water life
ACTION is being urged to combat the effect of sheep dip spillages on
water life. Leakage of synthetic pyrethroid sheep
dip into rivers and streams can have seri ous effects on invertebrates, causing knock- on problems in the food chain. The Ribble Fisheries' Association Coun
cil of Management is contacting local MPs, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fish eries and Food, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, and Friends of the Earth to demand greater action. "Incidents have already occurred in the
upper Ribble area, as in many other upland areas in the North-West," said an
RFA spokesman. "From the legal outcome of these cases,
it would appear that magistrates are inad equately aware of the degree of environ mental damage these sheep dips can pro
duce." Although the Environment Agency is
taking action to try to reduce the problem, anglers and conservationists believe the use of this type of sheep dip should be dis
continued. The meeting at the Three Fishes Hotel,
Mitton, heard that coarse and trout licences will increase from £16 to £18 from April 1st, and it was likely that the full salmon licence would also increase by £2.
FARMERS in the Rib ble Valley are being warned that attempts to beat next week's budget could backfire with serious financial
consequences. Any changes to farm
business such as the for mation of a new partner ship or the transfer or sale of land could jeopardise income from livestock retention schemes, amounting to thousands
of pounds. The warning comes from
Mr Aubrey Davies, chair man of the Institute of Chartered Accountants' Farming Group, who fears that many farmers, unaware of the pitfalls, are contemplating changes to
minimise tax liabilities. He explained: "Farmers
who have signed forms for the sheep annual premium, the suckler cow scheme or beef special premium are particularly vulnerable. These will attract pay ments later this year, pro viding there has been:no change of ownership. Farm ers should make absolutely sure they aren't going to be caught in this trap." Mr Davies said that the
farming community was already anticipating anoth er budget increase in duty on "white" diesel, which will increase transportation costs. He added: "It's another example of how our farmers are at a disadvan tage compared with those in other European coun
tries." Millennium lottery boost
COUNTY coffers reserved for Millennium celebrations have received a National Lottery boost. A grant of £50,000 has
been awarded by the Lot tery Commission to Lan cashire County Council for its party plans. These include the devel
opment of a Showcase for Lancashire, a proposed £300,000 project to win national recognition for the
region. As part of the showcase, Lancashire County Council
wants local youngsters to voice their opinions on what kind of world they would like in the next cen tury. A panel of county coun
cillors and church leaders will then select up to. 40 individuals or groups to present their vision at spe cial celebration scheduled for next year. Teachers and youth
workers who would like fur ther details on participa tion should contact County I-Iaii on 01772 263536.
