Unique directory will put Whalley on the publishing map
WHALLEY is to become the pub lishing capital of the Ribble Valley, with yet another new print venture about to raise its national profile. Newly-founded Turnkey Publishing
Ltd has opened offices in Clitheroe Road, from where it is planned a unique directory will be launched. The Care and Nursing Home Directory,
due for publication in the year 2000, is the brainchild of Mrs Sarah Crowther, who founded the company on the back of the new guide's potential for success. Originally from Surrey, with a London-
based career in publishing, she married Mr Simon Crowther, son of Whalley's Mr and Mrs Kevin Crowther, proprietors of the village's Abbeydale Care Home. With her husband set to join his parents'

20,000 copies will be sent out to UK care and nursing homes free of charge. The process will then begin again with the pro duction of an updated 2001 directory. Said Mrs Crowther, who now lives in Edisford Bridge: "We undertook our own market research, which showed a need for a primary source for nursing and care home products and services. We received an over whelmingly positive response, and I hope to recruit staff in the near future to help me produce the directory." Mrs Crowther's venture follows the pub

AMBITIONS to be a teacher keep Rebecca Carlisle (10) busy, but she can always find time for a good
book. Such is her love of literature that
Rebecca, of Jubilee Street, Read, has been selected as Lancashire Library's divisional junior reader of the month. She won her award with a review of
Dick King Smith's "The Guard Dog", which is reproduced in part below. As well as reading, Rebecca, a pupil at Read CE School, enjoys swimming and gymnastics. She is a member of the Read and Simonstone Players and the
First Read Brownies. Rebecca (pictured) writes: "The guard
dog is very exciting and enjoyable, and great for dog lovers. I found it very easy to understand and I liked it very much. In the guard dog, there are six puppies in the pet shop window - five pedigree puppies and a mongrel, which wants to be a guard dog. "The other puppies think he is too small,
but when they hear his bark, they cover their ears because he makes such a racket. One day, a little girl comes in and buys him. When he gets home, he is always barking so they put him in the kennels. After about three weeks, a deaf man buys him and they live happily ever after. This is my favourite part."
