Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, January 21st, 1999 Clitheroe 422324 (Editorial), 422323 (Advertising), Burnley 422331 (Classified) Future of


village pub GOVERNMENT inspec­ tors are to decide the fate of a Ribble Valley village pub. Plans to transform Tos-


side's Dog and Partridge into bed and breakfast accommodation and a pri­ vate home were thrown out by Ribble Valley Borough councillors, amid fears that the loss of the pub as a com­ munity facility would be socially and economically detrimental to village life. However, following an


appeal to the Secretary of State, a site visit and hear­ ing is planned for April 20th, which could see their decision overturned. The inquiry will take


place at borough council offices in Church Street, Clitheroe, from 10 a.m.

Methodist Church There was a good atten­


dance at the Waddington Methodist Church Women's Network last Thursday afternoon, despite the wet weather. Mrs D. Knowles opened


the meeting, wishing all the ladies a "Happy New Year". She then welcomed the speaker, the Rev. Richard Atkinson, of Clitheroe, who provided a fascinating insight into the early histo­ ry of Methodism focusing on the founder, John Wes­ ley. A happy time was enjoyed by all. Pianist was Mrs Sarah Baines and the meeting concluded with tea and biscuits. At the next meeting,


which, will be on January 28th, the speaker will be Mrs Bridgeman and all ladies are invited.


Musical delights At the first meeting of


the New Year for members of Waddington WI, held in the Methodist Church schoolroom, president Miss


Joyce Lockett thanked everyone for turning out on such an atrocious evening. The guest speaker for the


evening was like a breath of fresh air, a real enthusiast on the subject of music - Mr Jim Parker's talk was entitled "My Life in Music". His vast knowl­ edge of music and playing his own voice on recorded tapes were wonderful. He told many amusing anec­ dotes about his favourite operas and the sound of the brass band accompaniment were a delight to hear. Mr Parker gave an account of how he came into singing with the BBC and many famous northern singers and played a selection from his favourite musical "The Merry Widow". Mr Parker is a direct descendent of Mr Handel Parker who wrote the hymn tune "Deep Harmony". He was thanked by Mrs Nina Fos­


ter. Secretary Mrs Foster


read a thank-you letter for a donation to Arthritis Research and gave details from the county letter. Arrangements were made for the party next month. Best wishes were extend­


ed to fellow member Mrs Mary Boucher and her husband on their diamond wedding anniversary. Tea hostesses were Mrs


M. Barrow, Mrs S. Baines, Mrs M. Boucher and Mrs Cowman.

child in the group, and her family helped explain the various customs surround­ ing Eid, the equivalent of


Christmas. There was special Asian


food and, despite their young age, many of the children were able to appre­ ciate some of the features of a different way of life to that of their own families. Our picture shows Mrs


Shanaz Hussain drawing a picture in henna on the hand of one of the play leaders, Mrs Jackie Gud­ geon. Benedict Roberts seems doubtful about the procedure — also looking on is play leader Mrs Julie Perkins. (190199/4/6)

Prime cattle sector continues to improve


TH E gradual improvement in the prime cattle sector continues each week at Clitheroe Auction Mart. Although it is only gradual, it


is most welcome. Heavier cattle are now more


keenly sought after, and at Mon­ day's sale a 620kg steer made very nearly three figures at 99p. Only a lighter weight of plainer


cattle struggled to find a place. Quality cattle were again easi­


er to sell, with John Wilson again taking top price of 113p for a Limousin heifer sold to Bob Hey-


wood. Bulls: Prime to 108p/kg (av.


102p), commercial to 82p/kg


(80p). Steers: Prime to 99p/kg


(91.34p), commercial to 81p/kg


(78.40p). Heifers: Premium to 113p/kg


(llOp), prime to 98p/kg (89.6p), commercial to 82p/kg (74.7p) In prime hoggs and cast sheep,


the trade was reasonably good for better lambs, mules also seeing decent returns and the best horned lambs were also better. There was little demand for lean ewes, with fleshy big ewes good to


sell. Prime hoggs: Standard to


71.43p/kg (av. G0.83p). medium to 72.84p/kg (64.99p), heavy to 60.87p/kg (57.68p). Cast ewes to £28 per head


(£11.74). Calves - scheme calves again


at £46 this week, but a few more beef calves present, some rearing calves a small amount above scheme, while beef heifer calves topped at £20


Time running out for licence renewals'


FARMERS who dispose of pesticides and sheep dips on their land have just over two months to apply for a licence


to allow them to continue the practice. Under new Government regulations, farmers who miss


the deadline must stop disposals until they have received a full authorisation from the licence granters, the Environ­


ment Agency. Authorisations will normally be granted for several ,


years, but they will be reviewed at least every four years The Environment Agency has responsibility for imple­


menting and enforcing the regulations, which are designed to complement existing pollution controls.


Ihristmas Day


arrest leads to fine A BILLINGTON man was arrested as he walked


home after drinking in Whalley on Christmas Day. When David Horsfield and again swore at the offi-


(39), of Longworth Road, was searched at the police station a small amount of cannabis was found in his


pocket. Horsfield pleaded guilty


to being drunk and disor­ derly and being in posses­ sion of the drug and was fined a total of £90, with


£54 costs. Mr Tom Snape, prose­


cuting, said it was just after midnight when officers spoke to Horsfield, who became abusive. He was warned about his behaviour


cers. Mr Stephen Barker,


defending, said Horsfield accepted that he had his fair share to drink and that there was a verbal exchange with the police. "He thought he was


walking home quite respectably, but accepts that when the police approached him there was an exchange of words and his language was not what it should have been," he


said. Shoplifting exploits result CLITHEROE man


stole spirits that he did not d rin k and cigars


that he did not smoke. But his bizarre shoplift­


ing exploits cost Michael George Richards (32), of Stanford Place, £234 in fines and costs, when he appeared before Blackburn magistrates and pleaded


Garage target


A PRIVATE lock-up garage which, has had the locks changed due to damage three times in recent weeks was finally broken into. The garage, near the


home of the owner in Grindleton, contained vari­ ous tools and the thief took a Stihl saw, a car jack and a tool set. Total value of the haul was £200 and police are investigating.

in court appearance guilty to stealing two packs


of cigars from Tesco in


Clitheroe. The court heard that


Richards had been cap­ tured on closed circuit TV when he took the cigars. But when police caught up with him 10 days later, the cigars were still in their wrappers. Richards was in breach of


a conditional discharge, imposed by Burnley magis­ trates, for the theft of two bottles of spirits from Sainsbury’s. He told the court that both bottles had been recovered unopened. "I didn't have a drink and


I didn't have a smoke," said Richards.
