Artists will study impact of Castle
THE impact Clitheroe Castle has on Ribble Val ley residents will be the focus of a year-long artist-led project which has just been launched
locally.
poet/playwright Mr Robin Graham and photographer Mr Gordon Ashworth will be working with local schools, members of the public and people with spe cial needs to build up a pic ture of what the Castle means to those who live and work in its shadow. The residency is taking place as part of celebrations
For the next 12 months, Battle lines drawn to fight fish poachers
POACHING is being taken so seriously by local fishermen that rewards are on
offer for information. .lusl how much could be involved is not
being revealed by the Ribble Fisheries Asso ciation, which has set aside funds so that rewards may be paid. But members are very keen to do all they can to put the poachers, in effect fish thieves, in court. 'l’he chairman of the group, Mr Keith Spencer, emphasises that a lot of time and
money has been spent making the Ribble pro
ductive for genuine anglers. "The association has invested a lot of time
and money in ensuring that the Ribble is a pro ductive location for the genuine angler," said Mr Spencer. "Poachers can have an adverse effect on the stocks in the river and rob dedicated anglers of their pleasure. I would urge anyone who has any information about those involved in poach ing to contact Crimestoppers. The cal! is free, von don't have to leave your name and if your
information leads to a successful prosecution, you may receive a cash reward." The Environment Agency, which is responsi

to mark Year of the Artist. As a result of the festivities, more than 100 artists will be working across the region, including the Ribble Valley, in a bid to raise their status and profile among the wider community. Mr Graham added that the aim is also to help people explore their creative side, which could enrich their experiences of life. "Every one can express themselves, but they have to find a way to do it," he said. The two artists who will
be based in the Ribble Val ley want to use one of the borough's best-known sym bols as the centrepiece for their project. "We want to look at the impact of hav ing a castle in the middle of town," said Mr Graham. "The art project also aims to understand what it is like living in a town where the skyline is dominated by a
ruined castle." Using photographs and
pieces written by the par ticipating public, the pair hope to build up an artistic impression of the Castle which will be used in a spe cial interactive performed piece planned for next year. During the coming 12 months, the two artists also plan to hold a series of open days, as well as running competitions and organis ing an exhibition.

Council concerns over by-law introduction on some play areas
. \ 1. V W rk Mlik'Y'cU/AfvSoi
THE introduction of by-laws to control the use of Ribble Valley play areas could prove a double- edged sword, councillors at a Community Committee meet
ing learned. The council was asking members
to consider the implementation of by-laws as a possible measure to control certain uses of borough
council-owned play areas. Engineering manager Mr Graham
A t '
Jagger told members that the sites in the former Clitheroe borough area were already covered by a set of laws which dated’ back to 1921, but none of the other parks, open spaces or play areas elsewhere in the council's owner

by-laws could prove effective were times of use and age range of users. Other matters that could also be
looked at were dogs in play area, ball games, cycling, litter and noise or antisocial behaviour. It was also noted that having rules

of some form or another would aid groups recently set up to oversee cer tain play areas. Highfield Road play area, in Clitheroe, is one such site which has the benefit of a park watch scheme. It would also aid the police who could exercise more control in such areas if activities were going on which they knew for definite should not, such as cycling or older youths playing on young children's play
equipment. However, it was observed that
adopting measures to increase control on some parks could also backfire without a great deal of forethought. "There needs to be a lot of careful

lottery, organised by the Friends of North-West Air Ambulance, could prove just the ticket as it costs just £1 a week to enter. And it could be well worth a flutter as a jackpot as high as £1,000 per draw may be on offer, depending on membership numbers. The helicopter has just
celebrated its first birthday and has proved to be a valuable asset, carrying out around 480 missions across

Village’s
living history A FIRST-HAND his tory of Whalley as seen through the eyes of one well-known villager will
be on sale shortly. "Glancing Back" tells
the tale of the Ribble Val ley village as seen and experienced by Mr Don nie Wallis, a former Whal ley shopkeeper. "It is the history of Whaliey that I have lived through, plus additions by friends and people I have met and worked with," said the author, who also writes
dialect poetry. He says his enthusiasm
for writing has evolved gradually after he was asked to do talks on Whal ley. And three years ago he went on to produce the first edition of a book about the village. He hopes that this latest
book, a revised edition of the original, will give read ers a real flavour of Whal ley, as the subject has been "not written, rather lived". His book, which is
packed with photographs, provides an interesting, often humorous, insight
into life in the village. Copies of "Glancing
Back", which is being pub lished by Frames and Pic tures in King Street, should be available towards the end of June at outlets in Whalley and the surround ing district.
