Ribblesdale’s Euro day gives pupils taste of the Continent


by Vivien Meath


PUPILS at Ribblesdale High School Tech­ nology College held a European Awareness Day to mark the European Day of Lan­ guages


It was led by the


school's modern lan­ guages department, members of which started the day with


s t a r L e u l u c u a . y


notices to staff in three ' different languages. Many of the staff dressed in red, white and


blue, while members of the science department represented famous European scientists and reproduced their experi­ ments in class. In the languages


department, pupils tried to identify eight Euro­ pean languages and had a go at learning simple phrases in Spanish, Ger­ man and Italian. At break, staff were invited for coffee and croissants. Year 11 GCSE French


pupils linked up with students at Blackburn College and held a video-


Pupils aim to show that they


mean business PUPILS of Clitheroe Royal Grammar School are keeping ideas for their latest Young Enter- prise business project well under wraps. The 25 young people,


aged 15 and 16, have already formed their company, Fusion, which will soon go into business. The scheme aims to


give youngsters an insight into the kind of business life they might face on leaving school. Last year, the pupils'


company produced, among other things, plastic bottle rockets.

A COUPLE who went down in the world have raised money for a local


charity. Mr Peter Wells and his wife, Anne,


of Chatburn Old Road, Clitheroe, abseiled down the side of Manchester Town Hall to raise cash for East Lan­


cashire Hospice. As a result, they were able to hand


£550 to Mr Geoffrey Braithwaite, chairman of the hospice.


Couple’s abseil raises £550 for hospice The hospice fund-raising event was


arranged through an adventure sports company which ensured that the activity was carried out safely. On completion of the descent, the


couple were presented with certificates recording their achievement. Our picture shows Mr and Mrs


Wells holding their certificates along with Mr Geoffrey Braithwaite, who is holding the cheque for the hospice.

Harvest This year, harvest cele­


brations coincided with World Church Sunday, so the congregation of Whal- ley Methodist Church, while giving thanks for God's provision to them, thought about Christians in other parts of the world who do not enjoy sharing such a good harvest. Children brought gifts


conference, practising questions and answers in French in preparation for an oral examination. In food technology,


European dishes, includ­ ing spaghetti bolognese, risotto, crepes and tiramisu. In mathematics,


pupils were busy con­ verting currencies and drawing graphs. The art department


explored European artists, while the music department listened to European composers. In personal and social edu­ cation lessons, pupils compared different school systems in Europe, were asked to identify different coun­ tries and learnt about the European parlia­ ment.


In history, pupils


researched famous Euro­ pean figures and pro­ duced reports on them. Six Year 11 pupils rep­


resented the school at a Languages at Work event, organised by the East Lancashire Educa­ tion Business Partner­


ship, and experienced sessions based on the use of languages in the work­


place. In the previous week,


12 pupils who had designed posters encour­ aging people to learn languages attended a special event at Black­


burn College where they were able to devise a menu in French, shop for the ingredients, cook the meal and, finally, eat it.


Cumbrian cases may delay lifting of F&M restrictions locally


AN outbreak of foot and mouth disease in Cum­ bria may delay the lift­ ing of restrictions in the


Ribble Valley. Tough regulations


that apply to farms in the Penrith area of Cum­ bria have been extended to cover a new outbreak in southern Cumbria. These are known as


"blue box" restrictions, which demand cleansing and disinfection of all vehicles visiting or leav­ ing farms, plus a range of other biosecurity mea­ sures. They will now apply to premises as far south as Carnforth in Lancashire and Ingleton in North Yorkshire. In addition, five com­


pulsory cleansing and disinfection points have been set up around the village of Barbon, which is close to the latest out­ break. A further five

Mobile police station is to visit Read


A CARAVAN is being used as a mobile police station and the public are invited to use the facility. The caravan is nor­


mally used in the more remote villages of the Ribble Valley in conjunc tion with organisations such as Age Concern. To extend its use, it


will be parked in Read next week so that the people of the area can speak to police officers on duty, for a chat or for a more confidential talk if required. The caravan will be


located in Straits Lane, Read, on Monday, Octo­ ber 8th, between 10 a.m and 2 p.m.

mobile units are in opera­ tion on roads in the area. Mr Ray Anderson,


DEFRA's regional oper­ ations officer in Cum­ bria, said: "This is a very worrying development and we are determined to hit it hard and fast. "In the meantime, we


would request the patience and support of local people for the mea­ sures we have put in place and for people from outside not to visit the village of Barbon unless absolutely neces­ sary. A DEFRA spokes­


man has said that the situation in the Ribble Valley remains unchang­ ed, but any outbreak nearby could affect the lifting of restrictions. DEFRA also stressed that biosecurity mea­ sures must not be relaxed.


Fears of disease’s return culling was the right way


-tryside Agency and described as the Govern­ ment's "rural advocate", has said that a vaccina­ tion programme should be tested during the epi­ demic as the public would be unlikely to tol­ erate mass slaughter in a future outbreak. DEFRA Has repeated


that the Government's policy on vaccination has not changed. A state­ ment reads: "Vaccination is still an option and would be employed, where appropriate, on the basis of advice from the Chief Scientific Adviser and Chief Vet­ erinary Officer. This has always been the Govern­ ment position. It has not identified any new cir­ cumstances in which vac­ cination is appropriate." However, Professor


David King, the Govern­ ment's Chief Scientific Adviser, has repeated his reasons why he believes that vaccination is not the answer and said that


to deal with the crisis. Clitheroe man Mr


Dave Robinson, who is actively campaigning for a public inquiry into the crisis, said that despite the Government's state­ ments, it was still ignor­ ing world experts. Professor Fred Brown


FRS, of the Plum Island Animal Disease Centre, USA, offered his assis­ tance early in the out­ break. Mr Robinson said:


"Professor Brown and two eminent colleagues spoke at a meeting in Penrith last week. He demonstrated a machine that could be used in the field to demonstrate, with as near 100% accu­ racy as possible, the pres­ ence of the FMD virus.” Meanwhile, a new


round of blood testing has commenced in the Ribble Valley. This has led to the cancellation of the traditional Hal­ lowe'en celebrations on Pendle Hill.
