specifically, will DEFRA act on the varied grievances of country people? . I doubt it, if what has happened since
its formation is any thing to go by. Last summer, Margaret Beckett took
I over DEFRA and local people gave her I a grilling over the Government's foot, and mouth disease policy. What has she been up to since? She and her department have backed '
the Government-sponsored inquiries into the foot and mouth disease out break and the barbaric way with which it was tackled, refusing demands for a full public inquiry. The Government was found to-be at fault in every area of its actions and received criticism from Europe on its methods and its refusal to contemplate vaccination. , Nothing has changed. Slaughter is
still this Government's policy. The rural terrorists have been exonerated just like the Irish terrorists - and both are still in Government.

As I see i t .. by Robbie Robinson - This month, a new book and a new
look are the products of the firm that gave us mass slaughter. ’ The DEFRA sponsored book, “The
New Atlas of the British and Irish Flora”, sounds delightful, but will it
actually provoke action from DEFRA? Will there be a mass slaughter of the invading Danish scurvygrass, or at least
a reduction in the use of road salt which is apparently the reason for its spread
inland. , ■ The book tells us that the principal
threat to British florais nitrogen oxide pollution from cars and lorries, so per haps there could be a huge inter-depart mental co-operation resulting in a reduction in road building and motor vehicle use, and an associated "green" bus and railway expansion to stop the spread of the foreign invader and also save our native species. I doubt it. The scurvygrass would be
given asylum, found suitable growing sites and subsidised salt. Corporate interest's will ensure plans for traffic reduction measures continue to shuttle
However, there will be lots more talk about what must be done, though
'
rather less in the way of right action. There will also be a concomitant; mass production of the files, reports and press releases necessary to record and publi cise the talking. This will take place under the depart
ment's new look, its "corporate identity" logo, unveiled last week and described as a symbol of DEFRA's aim, values
and approach. It is composed of a new "namestyle"
with DEFRA spelt all in lower case let ters and "a symbol depicting three inter linking elements, signifying working together: new, corporate colours of sage green and cinnamon, reflecting the department's focus on sustainable devel
opment." I t cost well over £20,000 for the
rebranding consultants. The Prime Minister himself rejected the first logo. All this from the department that can not afford inspections on illegal meat

A TOP tra in in g trophy has been won by appren tice Martin Dugdale. At Training 2000’s annu
al awards ceremony held at M y t to n Fold H o tel , he received the Singer Cobble Cup in r ecognition of becoming F ir s t Year Apprentice of the Year 2000/2001. Mr Dugdale, of Park
Avenue, Clitheroe, works for Ultraframe. He was one of 49 apprentices from 25 compa nies who received awards
from Mr Paul Smith, North- West regional representative *
of the Engineering and Marine Training Authority. The ceremony was intro
duced by Mr Jeff Cowbum, chief executive of Training 2000, who explained that the awards evening had been moved from June to Septem ber to enable success in the further eduction aspect of apprenticeships to be reward ed, something which had not been previously done.’ i . Speaking about his
achievement, Mr Dugdale said: "ft certainly came as a great surprise to be present ed, with such a prestigious award! I would just like to thank all those who granted me the opportunity to be involved in such a scheme, and to all those who support ed me throughout." And Mr Donnie Doran,

imports, considered the cause of the foot • 1 1 I 1 _ _ _ a r f n A *
and mouth outbreak. Why does a Government department ■
need a corporate identity? It doesn't. It's the New Labour image thing, all fluff and no substance, appearing to be doing something, but busy doing noth
ing. Perhaps that's just why they feel they .
need it. Having .helped create a world where image is more important,than content, it can rely on the support of people who will warm to the cute letter head, then swallow the spin. Well done the country folk who went
to London to protest. I didn't join you as I was at the barricades last year, but it just made me so angry to see the way some good people were being treated, that I decided to stay at home and write this, instead of being ignored by politicians, or being imprisoned for throwing a brick at them. They are s t i l l there, though, in
- charge, not listening and planning the next war, which they can then blame for a rise in petrol prices and the next reces sion.
For "Government sponsored sustain ;
able development" read "corporate con trol".
LOOKING r BACK
100 years ago A MORE candid applicant for the post
of nurse at Clitheroe workhouse could hardly be conceived. She wrote that she. desired more information about the town or village - she did not know which, as she had never heard of it - and that she was five feet tall and ugly.
□ The passengers occupying a balloon
which passed over Clitheroe had a rather exciting experience. They had descended to drop a bag of letters on the town and were on their way to Skipton, when the report of a rifle was heard. A bullet flew close to. the car, followed by a second, which passed through the netting. Later inquiries revealed the shots had been made in the spirit of fun by people
under the impression it was a toy bal loon,, the marksmen’havin gnoideait carried human beingsl " • ! - - - ,
□ A fire occurred at Mr Henry Small
ey's farm, White Hall, Grindleton, when the ground-mow got overheated and took fire. Fortunately he discovered the fire early and it was put out without damage to the barn, although a quanti ty of good hay was spoiled by the smoke.

Scholarly successes
i TWO pupils from Stonyhurst College have won scholar ships at prestigious universi-:
ties. Elizabeth Sheehy (19), of :'V ■ -
New South Wales, Australia, has won a scholarship at Syd ney University to study law. Catherine Gardner (19), of
Buckinghamshire, has secured a Senior Exhibition studying philosophy at Emmanuel College, Cam bridge.
Elizabeth was deputy head .' ' ;
of the college and was the first female pupil to address the Stonyhurst Association at Boodles Club in London. The association is a long-estab lished network-of former
pupils with a tradition of inviting senior pupils to speak at its gatherings in London/ , • Both girls tested their
endurance and sense of adventure by taking part in the World Challenge expedi tion to Nepal. "It is great to see two for
mer girl pupils doing well so soon after the introduction of full co-education," said head master Mr Adrian Aylward
THE District Medical Officer for the Bowland Area said: "Country folk are becoming increasingly conscious that most of the benefits of the welfare state are concentrated in the cities and while no-one wishes to deprive the town- dweller of anything, it is felt some things could and should be better shared." .
. □. While visiting her son and daughter
in . Australia, Mrs M. Pinder, aged 67, of Shawbridge Street, travelled for hun dreds of miles through the bush. She returned home via Colombo, Port Said, Capri and Algiers and said: "They're all alike; they're all heat and sand. I've still seen nothing to beat the old Ribble Val
ley." □ The Clitheroe Division Conserva
tive, Association submitted a resolution to the party which stated: "The lack of decisive steps to reduce the intolerable burden of administrative expenditure (and therefore taxation) incurred during the life of the Socialist Government since the war is damaging to the country's economy, is-losing the Conservative Party support and is promoting a cyni cal attitude to Government generally."

LUCKY charms may well be needed by this intrepid trio of Ribble Valley fitness instructors if they are to break the spell of Pendle Hill on Hallowe'en! At first light on October
31st, they will leave the vil lage of Barley to begin the first of 10 planned consecu tive climbs to Pcndle's high est point. Yet far from having been
bewitched to take on this marathon, they are doing it voluntarily in a bid to raise £4,000 to buy a heart start defibrillator machine. The machine will be kept
at the Ribble Valley Coun try Club, the leisure centre attached to Gisburn's Stirk House Hotel, where the three work. Hotel propri etor Mr Malcolm Weaving is sponsoring club manager Mr Kevin Maree and assis tant manager Mr Johnny Roe to attend a Leeds- based cardiac rehabilitation course, which will qualify them to teach fitness to people recovering from heart attacks and all kinds of heart surgery.
