their stay was a visit to Blackpool where Lan­ cashire-based Russian ice dance stars Alexei Kislit- syn and Natalia Pestova performed. The couple, who are well


known where they how live in Rawtenstall for helping children through their own charity, "Rossendale Chil­ dren's Day," arranged for the group of seven to 12- year- olds to enjoy rides on the Pleasure Beach, before seeing the Russian pair perform in the spectacular Hot Ice Show. The duo organised a simi­


lar trip last year and, due to its success, were approached again by the charity. "Obvi­ ously, we were more than happy to help out again," explained Natalia. "There is no knowing what the future holds for these children. Many have problems with their auto-immune systems and the incidence of chil­ dren's cancers in the region is up by 800%.

the end of the day was unbelievable. They were so thrilled that we were nearly deafened when they all shouted 'thank you' at the tops of their voices." The children stayed with


various families throughout the area and, during the day, used St James' Church new pastoral centre as their

COMMUNITY life in th e Bolton-by-Bowland area will feel th e loss of Mr R o b e r t


James Howard. Retired farmer Mr Howard,


who died on Thursday at the age of 90, was deeply involved in vil­ lage affairs - he was a parish councillor and a member of the former Bowland Rural District


Council. He had lived in Main Street, Bolton-by-Bowland, for the last


10 years. He was bom in 1911, one of five


children, on Lowlands Farm,

the tenancy of Atkinson’s in Bolton-by-Bowland, which he


farmed for two years. Then he took on Burn House


Farm, Slaidbum, during the war, farming 250, acres of low fell with


several hundred acres of fell


rights. ■ The family was given the help of a group of Italian prisoners of war to help grow oats and turnips. Mr Howard and one particular prisoner, Mr Renato Furbatto, had a major part to play in assist­ ing at the aftermath of a tragedy in 1945, when an American Liber­ ator bomber crashed at Bum Fell, above Slaidbum, killing a number of airmen. They assisted the injured and the farmhouse was used as a centre’for the rescue operation.


Mr Howard (pictured) and his


late wife were able to be reunited with the Italian during a holiday in Italy in 1990. Mr Howard was a member of


Bowland RDC from 1967 to 1974. He was also a former president


of Bolton-by-Bowland Young Farmers' Club and a founder member of the village hall com­ mittee. He was also on the war memor­


ial committee. In his earlier days, he was a


keen competitor at clay pigeon shoots and, although he did not


compete, he was a devotee of sheep dog trials. He leaves a son, Mr David


Howard, and two grandchildren. The funeral is at Skipton Cre­
