Sex-charge men appear in court


I A MAN of 65 has been committed to Preston Crown Court on charges of indecent assault on former pupils at St Mary's


Hall, Stonyhurst. Raymond Turner, of


Smithy Row, Hurst Green, was committed on bail when he appeared before Blackburn magistrates


I charged with three I offences of indecent assault on boys under the age of 14. The charges date back to 1976 and


I 1977. John James Pearson


(87), of Winckley Square, Preston, a former priest, was remanded on bail until August 13th on two charges of indecent assault on boys under the age of 14, both dating back to


1973. Pearson has also been


directed to stand trial at Preston Crown Court and his case is awaiting com

Teachers hope for pay-plan U-turn


LOCAL teachers are hoping to re-educate Government ministers in a bid to overturn pro­ posals to introduce pay linked to classroom


results. Members of the Ilynd-


burn and Ribble Valley branch of the National Union of Teachers are to join forces with fellow pro­ fessionals in the National Association of Head Teach- I ers in a campaign aimed at shifting Government atti­ tude away from payment by


results. Branch secretary of the


NUT Mr Bob Allonby said: "The Government has refused to respond to the profession's massive rejec­ tion of the concept of pay­ ment by results. This is a political decision coming from Downing Street, not from the Department for Education. Those in the department know such a system can never work fair­ ly or equitably."

Liberal criticism for Tory plans


A LIBERAL councillor has criticised the ruling Tory group's ideas for pushing forward two key


projects. Members of Ribble Val­


ley Borough Council's Poli­ cy and Finance Committee were discussing estimates for work on Clitheroe Cas­ tle and the Edisford com­


plex. "We seem to be lurching


into the realms of ad-hoc- cery," declared Coun. Stephen


(Clitheroe). He pointed out that the now abandoned lottery projects had con­ sumed a huge amount of officers' and councillors' time over the years - but taking them forward need­ ed more time than they were now giving it. Coun. Frank Dyson

them. But officials explained


that the scheme had been reduced and was less ambi­ tious than the lottery bid, and £100,000 for refurbish­ ing the pool changing was urgent. The work could only be done during the Christmas shutdown. Conservative councillors


(Clitheroe) confessed him­ self "astounded" that an original estimate of £600,000 for re-modelling the Edisford reception and


dry sport changing area was now half that sum. He too wanted more time to look carefully at the new

It was also agreed that £120,000 be committed to repairs to the keep of the Castle, to be spent during the next financial year. A report will be submit­ a future meeting
