‘Do not despair’ is message to sufferers


and carers alike SUFFERERS of Alz­ heimer's disease and their carers should not despair because help is


only a phone call away. Tha t is the message


from Mrs Zena Altham, of Highfield Road, Clitheroe, whose elderly mother battled with the illness for more than three


years. She says that no one


should struggle alone with the disease because the Alzheimer's Disease Society offers a "wonderful service” to both sufferers and their carers.The society is stag­ ing a special awareness week, beginning on July 2nd, and as there is no branch in the Ribble Valley, Mrs Altham said she would like to take on the responsi­ bility for spreading the word among local people. The society gives advice


idential and nursing home information and practical help for carers. Members such as Mrs Altham are also on hand to offer a sym­ pathetic car to anyone who wants to talk over prob­


lems.Mrs Altham and her sis­ ter, Mrs Doreen Wilson, of Park Avenue, Clitheroe, cared for their mother, Mrs Elsie Bridge, who died 18


months ago. In its literature, the soci­


ety says at present there is no cure for Alzheimer's, but scientists, backed by the


society, are busy trying to


change that. "We have invested £2m.


on such things as day care, holidays, legal matters, res­


in research into the under­ lying causes of dementia," said a spokesman. "This is already leading to the development of new treat­ ments and could one day pave the way for a cure." The Alzheimer's helpline is 0845 300 0336.

lies are pictured with Clitheroe Mayor Couti. Alan Yearing. On the left is

Business boss is new board member

board appointment. A businessman who has worked for several leading


firms in America, Mr David Ewing (52), has become a non-executive director of the company. He is a lead­ ing figure in FKI and president of both its hardware division and its lifting products group.

Red Cross centre to close for temporary repairs


DUE to building work, the Clitheroe Red Cross Centre is


to close on July 6th. The building, in Back King Street, will be closed for


essential building works and will open again at 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 1st, when normal drop-in-centre activi­


ties will resume. In an emergency, or if local people require the loan ol


medical equipment during this period, please contact cen­ tre organiser Mr Jeff Entwistle on 01 ( i2 424965, or the Lancashire branch headquarters on 01772 709555, who will be more than happy to help. The Ribble Valley Red Cross Centre apologies for any inconvenience this may


cause. Lighting ‘like an aircraft runway’!


COUNCILLORS have ordered a hotel to remove drive­ way lighting stanchions, after hearing they were "more in keeping with an aircraft runway". The description came from Coun. John Hill (oimon-


stone), when a retrospective planning application from the Higher Trapp Hotel, Trapp Lane, Simonstone, was being discussed by the Ribble Valley Council's Planning and Development Committee. The committee heard that the lights shone directly into


neighbouring properties along Whins Lane and beyond causing a nuisance and disturbance.


Walk in the woods provides a much-needed cash boost


A WALK in the woods has helped children from Whalley


Pre-School raise much-needed money. Youngsters were joined by parents and siblings for the


sponsored stroll round Spring Wood, near Whalley, to col­ lect cash for the group which meets at the adult education


centre in Station Road. Those who put their best feet forward in aid of the


organisation were given a balloon and rewarded with a lol-


lipop for completing the course. Pre-school leader Mrs Johanna Chambers said she


hopes that the event will raise in the region of £500. She added that some of the children who were unable to take part in the walk on the actual day went to the wood and finished the course in their own time. And, as a result of the stroll's success, Mrs Chambers says she hopes to make


it an annual event. Our picture shows Mrs Michelle Bolton, her daughter
