RIBBLE Valley MP Nigel Evans has urged the Chancel­ lor to rethink his plans to add 6p per gallon to petrol duty. The plans - which actually


m s'A


mean a 7p per gallon rise once VAT is added - have been roundly condemned by motor­ ing groups. The A A called it “an appalling state of affairs for UK drivers”. Mr Evans said: “I would


urge Gordon Brown to rethink this move, as it disproportion­ ately hurts those living in rural areas.


“At a time when we have


declining bus services and clo­ sures of rural post offices and schools, the car is not simply an option but a way of life. “It is not right that a tax is


imposed which penalises peo­ ple for living rurally. ” Mr Evans added: “I have


written to Gordon Brown, asking him to rethink this, measure and not to take the easy route in punishing those living in rural areas in order to fill the predicted black hole in the nation’s finances.”

Intruder disturbed during break-in


AN intruder was disturbed attempting to break into an isolated farmhouse at Downham at about 3- 30 p.m. on Wednesday of last week. Attempts were made to force a rear door and win­


dow at the property in Pendleton Road, but the intruder escaped on foot after being disturbed by a resident. . He is described as a white male aged about 30,


approximately six feet tall, of a broad, stocky build, with very short, light brown hair. The intruder was wearing a white shirt, blue jeans


and dark-rimmed glasses. Police are warning people who live in outlying or


remote properties to make sure their homes and out­ buildings are left secure. Anyone whose suspicions are aroused by people or vehicles in remote locations should alert the police on 01200 443344.

Roland helps in selection of a new town crier


CLITHEROE Town Crier Roland Hailwood showed them how it is done before judging a contest to choose a new crier for Barnoldswick. Back in 1998, Mr Hailwood was instrumen­


tal in the appointment of Barnoldswick’s first town crier, when its town council asked for his help. He went to talk to members about the role of a town crier and what they should be looking for. That led to the appointment of Kevin Grif- fithsywhoreceived ■


ing to their peers in a foreign lan­ guage and making mistakes, so Gabi designed the finger puppets after two characters in a book the children are using. “So now it is not the children


speaking but the finger puppets, who are two little clowns. It all works rather well and on these occasions we don’t mind the chil­ dren clowning around - as long as they speak in German.” The German lesson was just


one of the activities held at the school as part of the Europe-wide celebrations promoted by the Council of Europe.


The boarders at the school


awoke to a Continental (French) breakfast and then the nursery class - three to four-year-olds - made pizzas. The whole school enjoyed a German lunch of such things as frankfurters and, in the evening, the day was rounded off with a European feast. “It was all great fun and the


children thoroughly enjoyed it,” said Marie Lea, Key Stage 1 Co­ ordinator Pictured is Lucy Rowland

nity arts festival, auditions were held on the Town Square for potential new criers. Mr Hailwood was asked to demonstrate the ancient art and then judge the competition, together with Clitheroe Advertiser and Times news'editor Duncan Smith, who formerly cov­ ered Bamoldswick for another local newspa­ per and closely followed Mr Griffiths’ town crier exploits. Would-be criers got a masterclass when Mr


Hailwood performed a specially written cry in his inimitable style, giving them something to aim for. Even fellow judge Mr Smith was per­ suaded to have a go. The contestants were cheered on by a good


crowd and, after the judges had deliberated, the winner was announced as Liz Woolnough, of neighbouring town Earby. At just 29, she could be the youngest town crier in the UK. Mr Hailwood praised her for having written


a good cry for the event and delivering it loud and clear, with a confidence beyond her years. The judges were also impressed by her outgo­ ing personality - essential for a crier - and her desire to get involved in the community and become an ambassador for the town. Married to Mark and with a five-year-old


daughter, Hazel, Mrs Woolnough works as an activities co-ordinator in a home for the elder­ ly. She is no stranger to performing, as she and her husband write and perform songs together. “I’m really, really chuffed at winning,” she


said. “I love performing and doing things for the area, so I’m really looking forward to being town crier.” Mr Hailwood will continue to pass on his experience to Bamoldswick’s new crier.

and the week in a cottage in the Dordogne attracted a final bid of £200. With "walk your dog", "do your shopping",
