Man witli a mountain to a first-rate example for others to follow
[HE town of Clitheroe is fortunate enough to have a classic example of how
th e rac es can live to g e th e r in peace and harmony, each con tributing something to the other. Father-of-three Mr Sonan Choe-
pel is from - almost - another world, his homeland of Tibet being
not just a long way away, but dif ficult to reach, except by a tortu ous journey by plane and Jeep of
at least five days. He made the anguished decision to
flee 17 years ago when the Chinese moved in to Tibet. They swamped traditional Tibetan values, imposing their way of life on another nation. He had to walk for 29 days across
rugged terrain, travelling mainly at night, lest he be captured by the hordes of Chinese soldiers who had moved in on Tibet. There were fears of imprisonment and torture. Crucifixion and electro-
As I seeMt.;. . b y J oh n Turner
cution were said to have been used by the Chinese to force the Tibetans to accept Chinese rule.
,• T h a t long journey ended up,
strangely, in a ter raced home in Clitheroe, a wife from the Ribble Valley, three children and a job at one of the town's largest employers, Ultraframe. Altough he has since become a
naturalised citizen of Britain, Mr Choepel has not forgotten his home land. To his credit, and to the credit of the people of Clitheroe, they unit ed to raise money for the impover ished people of Tibet and will be doing so again soon. Close activities between people of
different races can only serve to enrich the lives of each. Perhaps this is a lesson which could be learned in
areas no t so far d is ta n t from Clitheroe to the mutual benefit, of
everyone. But for Clitheroe's favourite
Tibetan there could still be more anguish on the horizon. Soon, with his wife and two of his
young children, he will be making th e arduous journey back to his home village in Tibet. Goodness knows what he will find when he reaches the tiny isolated community where his a u n ts and uncles and nephews and nieces live. I t will be his first visit since the day he crossed the border into India
17 years ago. In th a t time negative messages
have been coming ou t of the Himalayan country about what the Chinese have been doing.

A LETTER to the Clitheroe Times from Mr Perris, of Lucien Road, Lon don, gave readers the opportunity to obtain the leaflet "Six Reasons against the Sugar Tax." He said th a t the Chancellor was
being pressed to throw the burden of tax off the luxuries of the rich and on to the necessities of the poor, and that the most monstrous suggestion was the doubling of the sugar tax to a penny per lb. He also exhorted readers to write a' few plain words of warning to their

A VISION which will shape the future of Clitheroe Castle
has been unveiled. Over the next six weeks, residents across
the Ribble Valley are being asked to study the plans and have their say on the suggestions being put forward. The wraps were taken
off the next phase in a £246,000 scheme to restore and improve the site at a meeting of Rib ble Valley Borough Council's Community Committee, where mem bers praised the contro versial felling of 27 trees at the Castle carried out as p a r t of the overall project. Coun. Harry Back
house (Waddington) said he had received more than 100 positive comments about the removal of the trees. And a report to commit tee said: "Despite a sig nificant amount of oppo sition to the proposed work, there is now a strong view th a t what has been done has been worthwhile
and
enhances what is a scheduled monument of national importance." The next phase of
tures of the scheme will link the Castle field with the slopes leading to the Keep. Landscaping work to create a rolling grass effect will see the removal of the old bowl ing green and a 1920s ornamental garden, which are not felt to be in keeping with the over all concept. However, council officials are keen to emphasise th a t the well-used howling green by the cafe is an impor- : tant feature of the Cas
