CRGS teacher with alcoh and slapped partner after


_ — -m •


A. CRGS physics teacher with an alcohol problem drank five pints on a half- term holiday and then bit


and slapped his partner. ;• Eric John Cawley (37), of Crangle Fold, Clitheroe, is pre­ pared to seek help for his problem, and his £25,000-a-year job is safe, magistrates at Blackburn heard. • Cawley admitted assaulting Beverley Walker, causing actual bodily harm, and was given a con­ ditional discharge for a year, with £100 compensation and £75 costs. Mrs Elizabeth Reed (prosecut­


ing) said that on the day of the incident, Miss Walker was work


ing in a Clitheroe town centre shop. Cawley arrived at about 4- 30 p. m. and had clearly been drinking. "His speech was slurred and she

Reed. Miss Walker arrived home at


about 6 p. m. with the couple's 21- month-old child, and Cawley began shouting at her, accusing her of doing something to upset the baby. He started belittling her about her job, and then pushed

said Mr Barker. "My client describes it as 30


seconds of madness. I t would seem that the physical confronta­ tion vras two-sided but he realised it wa> appropriate for him to get away from the situation, and he

Cawley often had a drink on his way home. "It may be that he has a drink dependency and he is pre­ pared to seek help with that," said Mr Barker. "Miss Walker seems to think that help is appropriate and that may be the way forward in respect of addressing any alco­ hol problem in their relationship. "He wants to be responsible,

Special birthdays for these very special local ladies — as they reach 100 and 90


TON-UP birthday celebra­ tions had an antipodean flavour for Whalley resident Mrs Emma Brown.


To help her celebrate her


century, son Mr Roy Brown flew in from his home in Otorohanga in New


Zealand's North Island, where he has lived for the


past 33 years. He and his New Zealand-

THERE were celebrations recently at Waddington Almshouses, when resident Mrs Sally Hatton celebrated being 90


years young. Mrs Hatton (formerly Hanson) was


brought up in the village, her family hav­ ing lived there for generations. She has lived at the almshouses since 1991. On the day of her birthday, November


2nd, the birthday girl was treated to a party by her children and grandchildren at


the Waddington Arms. This was followed the next day with a party in the almshous­ es' community lounge organised by warden


Mrs Lesley Haywood. Fellow residents bought her two minia­


ture trees in stone planters and gave her


cards to celebrate her special day. Our picture shows Mrs Hatton looking


at one of her cards, watched by sister-in- law Elsie Hanson, of Waddington. (K021100/5)

Islamic Educ ation Centre plan is deferred after objections


PLANS to build a toilet block at Clitheroe's Islamic Education Cen­ tre in Holden Street have been deferred fol­ lowing a massive in­ crease in the number of residents objecting to the proposal. Members of Ribble


Valley Borough Council’s Planning and Develop­ ment Committee had been recommended to give the application the go-ahead, but the deci­ sion was put on hold on the casting vote of chair­ man Coun. Richard


Sherras (Gisbum). More than 100 letters


were sent to Ribble Valley Borough Council opposing the application although the report to the commit­


tee was written be fore the


deadline, at a tin >e when only two had been


received. Speaking on beh: ilf of the


Mearley Residents' Action Group Mr Gordon Halfpen ney asked counc llors to defer the decision. He said that over 100 let ;ers had been delivered before the stated closing date and sug­ gested th a t councillors should not make a decision based on a verbal i ;ummary


of their contents. Coun. Howel Jones (Cli­


theroe) said he woi dd rather have seen an appli nation for three toilets not four, but added that the application was not based on 1 iis prefer­ ences and would 1 lave to be faced as it stood. "Previous arra ngements


ment, we turn it down if it is acceptable in planning


terms." Coun. Paul Adnitt


(Clitheroe) said he, too, would have preferred less toilets and to have seen them located adjacent to the present building, but added that it seemed there were no objections from environmental health. He said if the proposal was accepted attached condi­ tions needed to be strength­ ened to ensure the toilets were used only by the chil­ dren and adults using the Islamic Education Centre for Children and were not for the public's convenience. However, Coun. John

Hill (Simonstone) said members had been asked to make their judgement based on two letters of rejection when over 100 had been sent. He said it was impossible to evaluate the information in a short space of time and asked for the
