■HUBBLE, bubble, toil and trouble, there were some strange mixtures brewing at Clitheroe Castle Museum this week. Witch Demdike (pictured) flew in from,


ifreckleton, complete with her cauldron, to entertain adults and children with recipes from her spellbook and eerie tales of witch­


craft. From a sackful of various ingredi­ ents, she helped youngsters concoct potions for ever-lasting love, which required a pinch of ivory, and make spells to banish love rivals, which needed dandelion headsl Accompanied by her pet rat, which she claimed was her bewitched husband who


she would be transforming back to human form later in the day, Witch Demdike was at the. museum to promote its Lancashire Witches exhibition. . The exhibition runs until the end of the


year. (C260802/5) Join in the charity fun run

A FIRE destroyed a car at Chatbum in the early hours'of Sunday. A police spokesman


said an accelerant had been used on the vehicle, a three-year-old Skoda valued at £4,000, which was burnt out. Guttering at a house in Downham Road, next to which the car was.parked, began to melt and flames were also licking the house roof. Three wing mirrors


were broken off cars in the same area, at what is thought 'to have been around the same time. Fire-fighters, from


Clitheroe were called to the scene and the police are seeking any witness­ es to the incidents. Any­ one with information is asked to ring Crimestop- pers on 0800 555111'.

Blind ex-serviceman Brian returns after I sporting and personal success at camp


A BLIND ex-serviceman from •


Billington has returned from a week-long summer camp with a hag of sporting trophies and new experiences.


< Mr Brian Beniston attended the ■


camp as a new member of St Dun- - stan’s, the centre for blind ex-ser- vice- men and women. Although the St Dunstan’s home is lo cated at Brighton, the camp was held in HMS Sultan, the Royal Navy Engi­ neering School at Gosport, Hamp­


shire. At the camp, Mr Beniston, who is


66, took part in a variety of sports and activities, accompanied by 30 other blind ex-servicemen and a group o f■ helpers, themselves ex-Fleet Air Arm personnel and families. He said: "I was a bit apprehensive


about being back on a Naval Base' after 40 years, but they couldn't do enough for us. I really enjoyed it." The veteran took part in several


indoor sports, plus sailing, gliding and, archery. He said: "The gliding was an.; experience. We went up to 2,000 feet. "When it came to the archery I said


I'd never fired before, but I had a " young lady, telling me where to aim. To my surprise I got five golds." He was presented with the archery trophy


, and shield for the best sports beginner by the Commodore of HMS Sultan. Mr Beniston also took the helm of


i : s * v ^


the Gosport and Fareham Inshore Rescue craft. He said: "The coxswain put my hand on the throttle and told me to open it up. There we were doing about 36 knots down the Solent." Another event Mr Beniston partic-


i ularly enjoyed was the Royal Marine 1 Band concert and parade at the Guild­ hall, Portsmouth.. .He explained that one of the partic­


ipants at the camp was a young ex­ marine who was blinded when he was


. hit by an Iraqi truck during the Gulf War and another was an ex-POW from - a Japanese prison camp. He said:


"They all had stories to tell, some of | them you couldn't print. What I found was that they all mucked in and nobody complained." He is now looking forward, to


-------r i


attending the Remembrance Ceremo- | ny- at the: Cenotaph in London in November and to joining.next year's I camp. Mr .Beniston served in the Royal


Tank Regiment from 1952 to 1956, fol­ lowed by a short spell in the Merchant Navy. He then-joined the Royal Marines in 1958 and served with 42 Commando unit,.mainly in the Far East, seeing active service in Borneo and Brunei. He was demobilised in | 1969.


- He then worked as a lorry driver for I Castle Cementj.but contracted dia­ betes, which blinded him. After diag1 j nosis and treatment it was realised that surgery could hot restore hid sights He said: "They can't do any­ thing else, so I can't complain." He and'his wife Maureen now share their home with parley, his black labrador


■guidedog. j j ;;; — Regarding his blindness and contin­ uing activity^ Mr Beniston sai.d: "There's nothing to stop you doing things if you want to do them. It's no good sitting at home." • - This is a philosophy shared by St j


Dunstan's, which was founded in 1915 by Arthur Pearson, a blind man who declared that full independence was achievable for those blinded, a highly radical view in the early 1900s. St Dunstan's was originally set up

Over the moon after charges are


dropped WHEN the week began, I Robert Crime was in the | depths of despair. For months he had I


been out of work and, on top of that, he was due to face a charge of arson which could have, result­ ed in a prison sentence of up to .15 years. But on the Monday he


was given a job in! a'car­ pet factory and,fat the


end of the week, his solic­


itor told him the Crown Prosecution Service had decided not, after all, to proceed with a charge of | arson against him. "I was over the moon," I


'•-’v V - ■ “ 'i'


said Mr Graham. "I have been down in the dumps for months. This was my | lucky week." Mr Grime (21), of I


M s


Newlands Avenue, Clitheroe, had been charged with arson after an attack on the Islamic Learning Centre in Holden Street in May when first a car wheel, | then a burning maga­ zine, were thrown | through a window. Another youth wasj


dealt with by the court at Blackburn last month. Mr Grime was due to


have appeared before the crown court on Friday to | answer the charge. "It was nothing to do I


with me," he told the Advertiser and Times. "I was at the end of the road and didn't see what | happened."


Monday afternoons, from September 9th, she will be able to host infor­ mal get-togethers~for those touched by the ill­ ness and arrange, visits from complementary health therapists, coun­ sellors and advocacy rep­ resentatives, who advise on benefits and other entitlements, in a town centre location for the first time. .- .


Says a delighted Miss


Dylan, founder of the Anna Dylan Cancer- Foundation: "We are still


; busy fund-raising to buy and equip our own premises, but because of its close proximity to Clitheroe town centre, the Corbridge Court house is an ideal tempo­ rary base." Miss Dylan, of


Grindleton, and her committee, have been


' given use of the house's j lounge and one of "its i bedrooms to use as a ! therapy room. Support sessions will start at 3 p.m. and run well into the evening. For further information, telephone the foundation on 01200 440113 or 01200 441969. Alternatively, call the house on 01200 443630. (C230802/2c)
