place' at St : James's Church on Monday at 9- 45 a.m., followed by cre­ mation at Accrington at 11 a.m. The family has asked for donations to the Salvation Army instead of flowers.


Ribble Valley joins fund-raising to buy ‘Magic Eye Cancer Scanner’


Campaign team


launches appeal by Vivien Meath


F U N D -R A IS IN G has begun in a bid to give the area a £200,000 revolution­ ary scanner which will help in the early detection of cancers. The Ribble Valley


spur of the "Magic Eye Cancer Scanner" appeal was officially launched in Clitheroe on Monday. Former Ribble Valley


Borough Council leader and, until last Apr il, chairman of Communi- Care NHS Community Health Trust Mrs Sheila Maw is leading a team of local volunteers working to raise money towards funding the endoscopic ultrasound equipment which enab­ les earlier diagnosis of throat, oesophageal, stomach, liver and pan­ creatic cancers. The sensor works very


much in the same way as the scan carried out on pregnant women, and is small enough to be passed down a patient's throat. The scanner will save


unnecessary surgery, benefiting both patients and surgeons. A simple test can be carried out, enabling surgeons to see what needs to be done and accurately pinpoint­ ing the stage the cancer has reached. Teams have been set


up throughout East Lancashire in a bid to achieve the money neces­ sary. Said Mrs Maw, area


representative for the Ribble Valley spur of the appeal: "This equipment will make all the differ­ ence in the early diagno­ sis of certain cancers and I am proud to have been asked to take this lead. I have a dedicated and hard-working team and we are hoping to raise


£50,000 over the next 12 months as Ribble Val­ ley's contribution. A number of initiatives have already been set in motion and we are hop­ ing that our local com­ munity will give us lots of support."


The Ribble Valley


spur was launched on Monday in the borough council's Mayor's Par­ lour, during which Val­ ley Mayor Coun. Mrs Joyce Holgate pledged her support to the Hyn- dburn and Ribble Valley

Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, June 20th, 2002 5 Plea to ‘scoop that poop’


B Y scooping poop, Ribble Valley dog owners could cut the number of fouling complaints made each year. . An estimated


140,000 tonnes of canine waste is left on the country's streets and parks every year, with more than £3m. spent on the cleaning up operation. Although'many local


dog owners do clear up after their pets, around 150 complaints are still registered annually with Ribble Valley Bor­ ough Council. The law requires own­


ers to pick up the mess in the event of fouling and enforcement action is pursued against those who d o -n o t comply. Failure to follow the requirements o f the Dogs (Fouling of Land) Act 1996 could result in a £50 fixed penalty, but if the matter goes to cou r t the co s t could soar up to £1,000.


In a bid to raise


awareness about the problem, the council's Environmental Health Department has teamed up with the National Canine Defence League


to promote the third annual National Poop Scoop Week. To coincide with the


campaign, a display is being staged in the coun­ cil's offices in Clitheroe


and dog wardens on patrol will be handing out leaflets and poop scoop bags. The message to own­


ers across the Valley is "Scoop that Poop".

The youngsters are guests of the


charity Friends of Chernobyl's Chil­ dren (FOCC) and planted oak and sil­ ver birch trees in Bellman Quarry, accompanied by pupils from Chatbum CE Primary School. The trees were planted to celebrate seven years of children's visits from


Mogilev, which was one of the towns badly affected by radioactive fallout


from the meltdown of the nuclear reac­ tor at the Chernobyl power station in April 1986. The types of tree chosen symbolise


the two countries and the links between them; silver birch for Belarus and oak for England. Belarus means White Russia and is so named for the forests of silver birch which give the countryside a white appearance. Earthwatch International provided


funding for the planting. Support was also received from local environmental­ ist Dr Ron Freethy, who gave technical advice and quarry manager Coun. Keith Hall of Castle Cement, who pro­ vided the site and soil for the planting. The children had previously plant­


ed trees in Mogilev in April. They were accompanied at that ceremony by cyclists from Clitheroe and Black-

bum, who then hiked the 1,500 miles from Mogilev to Blackburn in aid of


the charity. Mr Brian Davies, of Shays Drive,


Clitheroe, was one of the riders and helped with the spadework at the planting ceremonies. He said: "Each child has been given


a tree that they can call their own and watch it grow." He added that all the children had been given a better understanding of how trees clean the environment. ' Mr Davies will be holding a slide presentation of the Belarus to Black- ' burn by Bike cycle run later in the


year. Our picture shows Thomas Stratton


from Chatbum School and Kristina Kulmanava from Mogilev at the tree planting in Bellman Quarry, watched by friends, FOCC hosts and teachers. .
