Schoolboy interest in architecture leads to partnership in elite firm
YEARS of hard work and dedication have
paid off for a Slaidburn man who has just been made a partner in an elite firm of Clitheroe-
based architects. Mr Stuart Herd (26) has
been appointed to his new position at Sunderland, Peacock and Associates, of Lowergate, as well as recently qualifying as a member of the Royal Insti tute of British Architects. All this is a culmination
of an ambition he had as a youngster aged 12 or 13 to go into the architectural profession at a time when all his friends and school mates had designs on becoming soccer stars. Mr Herd first became
involved with the firm while taking his GCSEs at Bowland County High School, formerly known as Riversmead, and chose Sunderland Peacock and Associates as the venue for carrying out work experi
ence. This fired his enthusiasm
further and he found him self at Dundee University
taking a BSc in architec ture. During the course, he found himself back at the Clitheroe company under taking a s tatutory 12
months’ work placement period. On gaining his degree, he completed a fur ther two-year course in Scotland to become a
Exhibition about the life
and works of a truly remarkable sculptor
AN amazing number of people born in relatively small Clitheroe have become important in one
field or another. The name of Pauline Aitken (pictured right) is
known to few members of today’s generation, it is safe to say. But, in the 1920s, she was a Royal Academy standard sculptor and an exhibition about her life and work (examples of which are featured below) runs at
Clitheroe Castle Museum until June 18th. The sculptress left behind four large Griffins used on the old bandstand in Clitheroe, but has more important
work elsewhere. She was bom in Clitheroe, where her grandfather was
tant local occasions of the time. O May is museums and galleries month and the
Clitheroe team is marking it in various ways. On the 20th and 21st, visitors can try their hand at being a curator. There are also to be special displays from the collections. Any inquiries can be made on 01200 424568.
Bachelor of Architecture. In October, 1998, he was
taken on full-time by the company and set about fur thering his qualifications.
His RIBA accolade was gained in March. Our picture shows Mr
Herd preparing plans for a client.
Busy times for Lord Clitheroe
DESPITE his retirement from the Yorkshire Bank and his departure from the House of Lords, times are still busy for Lord Clitheroe. 1-Ie and Lady Clitheroe

Saturday. Non-members will be
made very welcome; the society especially feels it has plenty to offer office holders of Anglican churches. Lord and Lady Clitheroe
will be hosting a lunch reception at the cathedral, which follows the opening of the event with holy commu nion sung by the Ribchester Camarata. The preacher will be the former Bishop of Whitby, the Rt Rev. Gor don Bates. The afternoon speaker will be the Rev. Peter Mullen, who has close connections with the City of London. The day con cludes with a late afternoon choral evensong. The festival comes at a

Happy news at the parish church
BAPTISMS at Clitheroe Parish Church have doubled in the past I year - and general church atten-
| dance has increased too. The Vicar, the Rev. Canon Philip Dearden, made these points at the
1 annual church meeting. He said that the success of the
Christian Nurture programme and the Sunday Half Hour service have had more than a little to do with the congregation increase.
Canon Dearden reminded everyone mer fete on July 2nd will go towards
that the church must continually develop its pastoral care, and encour age a range of activities connected with the wider life of the church. Improving the condition and poten
tial of the various parts of the church and hall complex is a key feature of life at St Mary Magdalene's. A lottery bid for improvements to the some what historic hall is being prepared, but the church is raising its own money as well. Proceeds from a sum
the fund. Currently, the church vestry is
being restructured and a new boiler has been put in the vicarage. The church has a large garden, which is kept in good order by a team of enthusiasts. St Mary's has an excellent choir,
good enough to stage a concert enti tled "The Glories of English Church Music", which will be on Saturday, June 17th.
A PICTURE painted by assistant priest the Rev. Alan Denyer has been pre sented to a retiring war den at St Bartholomew's Church, Tosside. There have been many
tributes to Mrs Vera New- house, who has been a war den for 20 years. Although she has retired from this post, she remains a member of the PCC. Mrs Sylvia Runswick replaces her, and there is also a change of church secretary, with Mr John Gray succeeding Mrs Judith Carter.
I secret of happiness, he replied: "Add not to a man's posses sions, but take away from his
W
desires." Discontent can spoil our lives.
Many people can never compre hend that enough is sufficient, but worry and strive all their days to add to their wealth, revealing an
| inward discontent. Contentment never comes from
the possession of material things, but from an inward attitude to life. One of the wise sayings of the Jewish rabbis was: "Who is rich? He | that is contented with his lot."
HEN the Greek philosopher Epicu rus was asked for the
great truth, that it is good for us to learn how to be content with enough. There is no special virtue in being poor, or having a constant struggle to make ends meet. Pover ty has a way of sorting out true val
The trainee rabbis were taught a
ues for us. In 1 Timothy 6:10 we read Paul
writing to his young friend: "For the love of money is a root from which all evil springs and some, in their reaching out after it, have been sadly led astray, and have transfixed themselves with many
pains." The love of money for what it
can bring can lead to evil, though money itself is neither good nor bad and can be used for good or ill. The desire for it is often founded
through a search for security, which
wealth cannot buy. Riches cannot buy health, nor
true love, or preserve us from sor row or death. The desire for wealth for security's sake can often end in nothing but anxiety. The more a person has, the greater is the fear of lossl This often makes people desire to make more, to cover all eventu alities. The love of money and con stant discontent can lead to our choosing to make the obtaining of wealth as the driving force of our life, and that can lead us into the most perilous of sins. We can only eat one meal at a

If always desiring more possessions prevents us from appreciating the blessings we have already got, then there is bound to be something wrong with our way
of life. A grim Spanish proverb says:
time, sleep one night at a time, and live one day at a time. Enough should be sufficient for us. Constantly wanting more posses
"There are no pockets in shrouds." Great wealth cannot make us happy if we know neither love nor friendshjip. Happiness comes from personal relationships and the greatest of them is the one with God, as His sons and daughters. Joe Stansfield
