Lr, father and family all toffed- [ip and mum and dad with hats bn that would be the,correct [ittire of the day. A lady called into the Cancer Research shop when I was on tiuty who we called the "nice


gady". She lived in Blackburn and a


day out would mean a bus from Blackburn to Clitheroe, a short


lireak here, and then the bus to JSkipton. She was always dressed in


the latest fashions and, being a tall lady, set them off well. The feason for this little story - she Dnce said she had relations liv­


ing in Clitheroe who had a [small snack bar, by the station, called Smithsons. I said I remembered the name and she


|said it was the first time any­ one had some knowledge of the


[snack bar by the station, and it had to be Smithsons. We have not seen the lady for /ears, but I will never forget


[the "nice lady", well-dressed and charming. The business had other tenants over the years, but I have no names.

IThrowback to


Imedieval times ITHE recent protest in London |by the Countryside Alliance |was well stage managed. Many people will have sym-


|pathy with their issues, but others of different outlook or profession will see this march as an act of camouflaging or putting up a smokescreen to cover up the real problem, blood sports, fox hunting in particular. This has got to stop and be


outlawed. It is a throwback to nedieval times when not just


animals, but people were beat­ en in a barbaric manner. To urban dwellers, it may


beem to be just a dressed up social event, drinks at the pub, jfollowed by pursuit of a fox, if any, which then can be tom to pieces while enthusiastic riders, jjview the ritual.


. Everyone must wish the


I keepers of our countryside well, ] but foxhunting never; - ' • • OBSERVER. .

A CARDIAC support group is being formed to help local people . deal with heart prob-


. lems. Ribble Valley Heart­


beat will provide support for those who have, or have previously had, heart trouble, their fami­ lies and carers. The support group is the


idea of Ms Angela Shaw, a specialist heart nurse with NHS Hyndburn and Rib­ ble Valley Primary Care Trust. She is being assisted by


Mr Syd Bennett, who experienced a heart attack in 2000. Mr Bennett cannot


speak highly enough of the treatment he received from the doctors, nurses and other staff at the Black­ burn hospital ;and .the


t.'fWhalley surgery.-? He sajdra’Everyqne-waSj

jet


address my anxieties. A , support group would have been extremely useful in my rehabilitation, but no such group was available in the Ribble Valley." Ms Shaw and Mr Ben­


nett (pictured) decided that the primary aim of the group is to offer a forum for heart patients, families and carers at regular meetings, where mutual support can . be offered by people who have experienced the trau­ ma of heart problems and treatment. They explained that this


has been recognised as as being helpful in restoring confidence and removing anxieties about the future. ' There are already estab­

^ flooding issues in the top 10 most troublesome locations


• and £15,000 will be used to carry out culvert repair work at Highmobr Park. The money will also be used to provide additional dog waste'bins, install


extra signs to the borough's main tourist destinations, provide goal nets for foot­ ball pitches at Roefield and Mardale, as well as being spent on repairing a hole in the ceiling of - Level A in the council offices.

As well as asking whether

PUPILS of a Clitheroe school have had a lesson in caring for people worse off than themselves. One result of this year's harvest festi­


val at Brookside Primary School hap­ pened to be pleasant surprises for 50 sick and elderly people in Clitheroe and 100 poor children in impoverished countries like Belarus; Romania and the Ukraine. The 50 Clitheroe people will receive


gifts takersto school by the children to celebrate the annual autumn festival. The boxes were donated by the chil­


dren as part of Operation Christmas Child.


, : . This is an international scheme where


shoe boxes are filled with essentials and little luxuries for needy children abroad. Head teacher Mr Graham Claydon


. said: "It was another tremendous response from our parents and children." Our picture shqws some of the children


with the gift boxes, packed in festive paper and ready to help make Christmas


ra little more special for less-fortunate youngsters.
