information about the changing population, build ings and amenities, and highlighted some of the pit- falls involved in producing such a history. Some members of the
audience were reminded of their connections with Dr Fitch's special school at Dunnow Hall, and others of brushes with whooping cough in the 1920s. The book has been pre
pared by a number of local people as a portrait of life in the village. It also high lights changes in the past century. Publication date is June and orders will soon be invited to judge the likely demand. Other talks are to be
given on subjects such as research methods and access to records, drovers' ways, lime kilns, bellringing and heraldry. This talk, in November, will be given by Mr Thomas Woodcock, a Slaidburn resident featured in the Advertiser and Times last week. Inquiries about the book
or the talks can be made through the heritage centre on 01200 446161.

Pupils take walk on the
wild side
CHILDREN from Chatburn CE School can literally take "A Walk on the Wild Side." That is the name of
their wildlife area, made available by Castle Cement on land just off Crow Trees Brow, Chat- burn. The school ran a com
petition to suggest a name and it was won by one of the youngest pupils, Joshua Wilson (six.) Lancashire Wildlife
Trust experts are help ing the school to create the area and make the best of its considerable potential. A lined pond adds to the diversity of wildlife attracted. Paths, signs and infor
mation boards are key features of the area, and there is also seating for people to enjoy the envi ronment. Some members of the school team are pictured
with Chris Whiteside from the county trust. (160400/21/14)
No High Court help for man who says bypass
blight hit value of house Simonstone resident says cost of his
compensation fight near to £200,000
A HIGH court judge said he could do nothing to help a Simonstone house holder who claimed a road blight prevented him selling his house for almost a decade. Now the case may go to the Ombudsman. Mr and Mrs Brian and
Brenda Smith, of Bank Ter race in the village, came within an ace of selling their home for £75,000 in 1989 at the height of the property boom. But the deal fell through
when planning permission was granted shortly after wards for the Read-Simon- stone bypass to be built just 20 yards from the house. Last month, the scheme

that when planning permis sion was granted for the bypass in 1989, it was "plainly likely to affect the marketability of their home". But he said the council only had a duty to buy it from them if it had been "rendered virtually uninhabitable" by road blight. That policy had softened

Try not to leap into instant action mode. Excitable Uranus is in gritty aspect to Mars, your rarner hot-headed ruler, so you may be inclined to reckless decisions or snappy remarks, which may not go down well. Friends and team mates will be rather unco-operative so just try to hold to a steady course especially where cash is concerned. By weekend you will know how the situation has shaken down and be in the mood for a little social high life. Call

The Sun moving into your own sign on the I9th is definitely a relief since you can move off the sidelines back into action once more. Just react calmly to sudden changes at work.

By Saturday you will need to pause for a rethink. Treasure your happy quiet times, since they will revive you. Call my Taurus line to hear more.

Smith for his "clear and fair presentation of the case". Following the verdict, Mr
Smith (57), a self-employed joiner, said selling the three- bedroomed property had been impossible while the plans were in. "Obviously I'm pleased
they have now cancelled the scheme, but I wish they'd done it in 1996," he said. He added his home need
ed work on it and may still not be worth as much as it was in 1989. He was strug gling financially because of the case, and he may not be able to pay the £4,000 legal costs. Mr Smith is now intend
ing to pursue a maladminis tration complaint against the county council with the local government ombuds man.
Photographer of note pays much-awaited visit to camera club
THE long-anticipated visit to Ribblesdale Cam era Club of Leigh Preston, of Gloucester, took
place last week. The speaker has achieved
two Fellowships of the Royal Photographic Society, in different branches of the art, and is one of Britain's leading pictorialists. First, a small number of
prints was shown, culminat ing in a grainy one of the chimneys of Clitheroe library and the old town hall, taken from the Castle. The slide show then start
ed with 200 of the finest landscapes seen at the club.
The American mid-west provided a rich vein of thought-provoking scenes. Here the legacy of the reces sion of the '50s and '60s has left a sad combination of abandoned cars, trucks and even school buses set against derelict wooden buildings and rolling fields of wheat, stretching to the horizon and many miles beyond. Even grain silos and railway wagons were standing where they were when their opera tors had no choice but to walk away. More conventional pho
tography came from the Grand Canyon and the Bryce Canyon, but again a keen "seeing eye" trans formed what could have been just an interesting travelogue into art. The enjoyment of the
evening was not solely due to the superb photography, but also to the constant stream of anecdotes which accompanied the pictures. Evidently Mr Preston’s

Relationships always involve compromises on both sides no matter what. If you want total freedom of room for expression and manoeuvre then you may find yourself more isolated than you wish. The truth is that for all your strong, dark, silent manner you are highly emotional and need a close' partner before you feel life is really meaningful. So it really is in your best long-term interests to sound tolerant and try to steer a middle course. Call my Scorpio line to hear more.
