Be as safe as houses — thanks to a security scheme for Valley villages


report by Vivien Mason


FREE security locks fitted without charge to windows and doors are up for grabs in Ribble


Valley villages. The scheme is provided


bv Homewisc, a home improvement agency sup­ ported by Age Concern of Lancashire, Lancashire Constabulary Community Safety Department, Lan­ cashire Fire and Rescue Services, Social Services and Ribble Valley Borough


Council. Residents aged (50 and


over in the villages which are visited by the mobile police and community information office are eligi­ ble to apply for the security locks. The villages are Waddington, West Brad­ ford, Grindleton, Sawley, Bolton-by-Bowl and, Rim- ington,


Pay! borne, Tosside, Slaid- burn, Dunsop Bridge and


Gisburn,


Newton. Once an application has


been lodged, Mrs Davina Helm, police community safety officer, will call and assess what types of locks


should be fitted. She will then arrange for a handy­ man to fit them, though stresses that the service can only be offered for as long as stocks last. In addition, she has

secured more funding for a supply of locks for other vil­ lages and towns in the Rib­ ble Valley. The principle i;: tlie same whereby the locks are provided and fitted free, though it is a separate scheme. "Many people have heard

MORE than £600 has been donated to Christ­ ie's against Cancer in memory of a local per­

was 57 when she died at the end of August after a recurrence of the disease, which had first struck her three years earlier. Now family and friends


have collected the money for research at the famous hospital in celebration of


her life. Mrs Di Vito was a med­

process of doing 50 miles on the exer­ cise bike to raise money to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is both helping me to get fitter and making a worthwhile contribution to an excellent cause. I am hoping to raise between £100 and £150 for the


charity. One of the best ways 1 have found to


shed inches and weight is aerobic exer­ cise. The class I go to on a Sunday morning is a cross between kick boxing and aerobics. It helps me burn off calo-

hydrates - they're an anti­ depressant and people get addicted to them. Another reason not to eat them is that you get hungry because your stomach is empty and your blood sugar level is low. When you eat carbs your stomach fills quickly, so you think you should no longer feel hungry, but because carbs don’t release sugar into your blood for hours, you still crave the sugar and you'll end up eating more carbs or a dessert for the quick fix of sugar. Then you've eaten two meals in one and the carbs will end up as stored fat.

Young farmers keep busy after return from summer break


MEMBERS of Clitheroe Young Farmers have been very busy since they returned from their summer

kicked off the new season with a sports night at West Bradford playing fields, fol­


lowed by a walk round a wild boar farm, a treasure hunt in Waddington, organ­ ised by Julian Silverwood and Julie Whitwell, an evening of tractor backing and evaluations held at the home of Mr and Mrs Sil ver- wood, a trip to Alton Tow­ ers by 20 members, a talk by Mr Stephen Hatton on the do's and don'ts of house buying, an enjoyable evening at the golf range and a visit to Preston for an evening of tenpin bowling.

Getting physical with physio Ian Liversidge


THIS month we s ta r t a new regular column in which Ian Liversidge, senior physiotherapist with Burnley FC, will advise on how best to treat sporting injuries. We start with one of the


most common problems, muscle strains. Ian says th a t people


often suffer strains when commencing a fitness regime and that females who regularly wear high heels during everyday life are particularly prone to such complaints. Calf muscles and the Achilles tendon are most


commonly affected. What to do if you suffer


a muscle strain. The way to a cure, says


Ian, is - Rest, Ice, Com­ pression and Elevation. Immediately - apply ice


for 5-10 minutes and then bandage, as this will restrict the bleeding in the muscle fibres. Torn muscle fibres bleed and the more they bleed the longer the injury takes to recover. After 48 hours - Apply

stretching and strengthen­ ing exercises, progressively


building up. This is the same treat­


ment for any muscle strain. A partial tear will take two to four weeks to recover. If after three weeks there is no improve­ ment, seek professional


advice. Ian will respond in the


ice for 10-15 minutes with compression and start to do some gentle, no-weight bearing exercise. Seven to 10 days - aim to be walking properly and
