Birthday Greetings Golden Wedding
I-HE average council tax payer in the Ribble Valley looks set to have to find an extra £100 this year. Ribble Valley Borough Council’s
Policy and Finance Committee this week recommended a 3.2% rise in.; the borough’s share of the tax for' the new financial year.
. - b ! This means a Band D payer.wouM
pay £112.70, instead of .this year’s £109.13p, to RibbleValleyv^-.' And if the proposed Lancashire
County Council increase of 9.1% and the Police Authority’s massive rise of 18.8.%'goes through, i t will mean a to.tai.;vBand D tax of £1,145.92
instead of last year’s figure of £1,050.
- Ribble Valley has been able to keep ■its'own rise down to just above the rath of inflation only because of a big-
. ger-than-expected hand-out from the Government by way of the Local Government Finance Settlement. The
Govemment.grant goes up by
12.5 % to close to £3 million. Jane Pearson, Financial Service Manager, reported to the committee:
•■/•“This is obviously
far.in excess of the : level of g ran t we expected and is therefore welcome news.” "Mr Marshal Scott, Director of
Finance, added: / ‘Without the increase from the Government we would have had problems.” The committee agreed a revenue
budget of £5,474,120 and a precept of £2,625,305.
The budget reveals that the amount
allocated for democracy, members and civic expenses is set to rise in the com ing year by £23,320 to a to ta l of
£332,000. This includes members’ allowances
of £116,340 going up by £1,870 and includes £12,200 for civic entertain ment and £17,390 for the Mayor’s Attendant and mayoral car. The county council and police
authority figures are, as yet, only pro visional. They are expected to be rati fied at meetings next week. I t will not be the only bad news on
the household bills front. Water bills are set to rise by around
6.5%, so th a t environmental and drinking water quality improvements, costing £3 billion can be carried out in the North-West.
Village gets ready to welcome back a familiar face as its new vicar
by Margaret Parsons
A FAMILIAR face is returning to the Ribble Valley in the spring when Fr Trevor Vaughan becomes Vicar of St Nicholas’s Parish Church in Sabden - more than 20 years after he left the
village. F r Vaughan (pictured) was vicar
a t St Nicholas’s from 1977 to 1980 when he said farewell to his small Sabden flock to ta k e over a t S t George’s, Chorley, a parish with a population of 11,000. Now he and his wife, Ann, are
returning to the village which has been without a vicar a t its parish church - currently closed for safety reasons, with services being taken in the church hall - for more than a year. He will also be responsible for All
Saints’ Church, Pendleton, and will begin the process of combining the ministries of Sabden and Pendleton with Whalley Parish Church. T h e . diocese is proposing to combine the three parishes in about three years’ time and Fr Vaughan, who is 61, will begin this process which will take him up to his retirement. Known widely around the Ribble
Valley as Fr Trevor, he and his family, are due to return in early April and when the news was announced to the Sabden congregation on Sunday morning there was a general murmur of approval. “The news went down very well.
i'Mr/
B.erriard Barfitt. • .t Er Tfevor said: “Wc are really,.!
Many of us remember Trevor and his family:^n.d we are looking
forward.to .. theni'ret;urning,’’said churchwarden
a considerable amount he would be glad to return to the Ribble Yalley. I t has been a long year for the Sab
den congregation, which saw its church closed just before Christmas 2001 when a major fault was found in the structure. A few weeks later the church also found itself without a vicar when the Rev. Roland Nicholson left to move to a new parish at Poul- ton on the Fylde.
■ / Since then a succession of clergy
men have stood in for services and the congregation has met in the hall while discussions have gone on about the future of the church building. There does seem to be some light on the horizon,, however, and with mas
sive on-goirig fund-raising and lots of gr^t'md;i(^1ibpea:the church can be
happy to be returning; we are country;; folk at heart. I t ’s like coming home,/ we are very excited about it. I t ’s a ■ wonderful warm-hearted community;; where people work very hard.” . He said he had enjoyed his time as'..
vicar of St Barnabas’s, Morecambe, a parish which has a 10,000 population, but said the area has many problems and although he felt he had achieved .
saved arid rebuilt. Z ' T , ;Trevor;said he would also be
working hard to help see St Nicholas’s reopen, but if this was not possible the Church in Sabden would continue because the people, not the building, were the Church. “The basic job of a priest is to teach people about God, that is my role, ” he added. ■/ So t-he Vaughan family will be returning at a tumultuous time in the
parish’s history. Since they left Sab den in 1980 for Chorley they have served in the Bradford Diocese, with Fr Trevor the rector of Bolton-by- Bowland from 1983 to 89, vicar of Settle from 1989 to 91, and then rec tor of Broughton, Marton and Thorn ton until 2000 when he returned to Lancashire as vicar of St Barnabas’s, Morecambe. Now the family are leaving the sea
side for the rural life of Sabden and Pendleton. During their previous spells in the Valley the popular family often spoke of their love of rural life and he endeared himself to local chil dren with his skill as a cartoonist, which he used to illustrate his teach ing to them. While he was rector of Bolton-by- Bowland and St Ambrose, Grindle-
' ton, he caused a stir when he became the only Ribble Valley clergyman to put his name to a national campaign against the ordination of women priests in the Anglican church. But he openly spoke about his reasons for this and said it had not caused conflict among his parishioners. A native of Barnoldswick, he
worked in banking in the Skipton area before training for the priesthood at Lincoln Theological College, being ordained in 1969 and becoming a curate and priest in charge at several parishes in the Coventry diocese until his first move to Sabden. He served in the Territorial Army
until three years ago and was regi mental chaplain to the Duke of Lan caster’s Own Yeomanry and until recently was honorary chaplain to the
helps out with parish work. She is looking forward to renewing old acquaintances. The couple’s four children,
8th Army Veterans’ Association. His wife is a retired teacher and
Matthew, who lives in Nottingham, Philip in Ripon, Rebecca of Horsham, Sussex, and Bart, who lives in Castle- ford, all have fond memories of their Ribble Valley days and are looking forward to their parents returning to the area. The couple also have seven grandchildren, (s)

group of volunteers interested in advocat-, ing and promoting a wider participation in ; the arts. The group consists of a r t is ts . working in the fields of visual and perfor mance arts, as well as members who simply have a general interest and enjoyment in the arts. Mr Geoff Jackson, of Trinity Partner
ships, has made successful funding applica-. tions for the future development of New.: Form Arts. The sum of £10,000 was award- ■ ed from the Small Rural Projects Fund, a rural development at Lancashire County
Council, and £5,000 from Awards for All, an Art’s Lottery grant. The funding is enabling six artists the
chance to run arts workshops in village halls offering taster sessions for the local community in various art forms. Proposals are to be submitted and the most favourable workshops will be selected and should take place during March and April. A New Form Arts website has been
designed and anyone having an arts-based website which they would like to link should contact Katherine Shoesmith, Arts Development Officer, tel. 01200 443071. A digital camera has also been bought for the use of members with money raised through the Ribble Valley Borough Council culture and recreation grants.
Pensioner’s paintings go on show"
PENSIONER Mr John Cook will gladly tell people that until recent years his paint ing efforts have been confined to skirting boards, doors and walls. But now the 77-year-old great grandfa
ther has his own exhibition of oil paintings on display a t Clitheroe Library for the month of February. Mr Cook, known by most people as Jack,
of Kenilworth Drive, Clitheroe, only took up painting around six years ago, being encouraged by his late partner. He said: “I must admit th a t I throw
away nine out of every ten pictures I-paint, but so many people said I should put them
on show that is how this exhibition comes about.” Mr Cook says he only paints “when he
feels like it”. There could be several months in between picking up his brushes. He was in the Army in the Second World
War and came out to “do all sor ts of things.” For a time he was a chairmaker and he also worked for Atkinsons helping to make gritting machines. Nearly 30 years ago he successfully
recovered from an operation to remove a brain tumour. He is a father of three, grandfather to eight and great-grandfather of two.

merly of Sabden, of Glen view Court, Ribbleton, Pre ston originally faced one charge of abducting a 12- year-old girl from Sabden. He is now accused of a
