horror of the Holocaust PUPILS from Stonyhurs't College and its prep school, St Mary’s Hall, helped mark Holocaust Day in two sepa­ rate events, which remem­ bered the millions of Jews who. died at the hands of the Nazis. Two boys from St Mary’s


Hall appeared on ITV’s "My Favourite Hymns" which was dedicated to the day and led by Fr Dennis Blacklidge, of Black­ pool. It was filmed in one of the Stonyhurst chapels. Max Attard (12) and Tom


O'Donnell (12) read Bible extracts.


While the service was being


broadcast, pupils from Stony­ hurst College’ attended "Remembering Terezin", a-


Holocaust Memorial Concert at Beth Shalom in Notting­ hamshire.


The Solaris Quartet played


pieces written in the Terezin Ghetto, Prague, by composers who later died in Auschwitz. Most of their works were lost


with them, and it was by pure chance that those performed at Beth Shalom survived. The pupils also visited the


Beth Shalom Holocaust Memo­ rial Centre a t Laxton in Not­ tinghamshire and heard the tes­ timonies of Mr Stephen Frank, a child survivor of Terezin, and Arek Hersch, who survived both Terezin and Auschwitz. Both speakers read poetry


written by children from the Terezin Ghetto. Of the 15,000 children sent to Terezin, only 100 survived. Head of history at Stony­


hurst College Mr Michael Turner described the experience as "a day when those who lost their lives were remembered


with honour and sensitivity." ' Pictured is Holocaust sur­


vivor Mr Frank with Stony­ hurst pupils, from the left: Ana Mendez, Amy Crouch, Eliza­ beth Adlemann, and Rachel Betts, (s)


Fact-finding trip for business boss


A BUSINESSMAN from the Ribble Valley left at the weekend for a fact­ finding trip to America on behalf of 400 retailers. ■ Mr Simon Barnes, who


owns Bashall Barn Farm Shop and Cafe, is hoping to find out how businesses like his own operate in North Carolina. On his return he will


report back to 400 fellow members of the Farm Retailer Association. He said before he left:


“The trip will give me the chance to see how we can encourage more people to buy, think and act locally. Rural businesses took a battering thanks to foot and mouth, but now we are becoming increasingly aware that a small-scale,


local approach is attractive to customers. “They like to know


where their meat and gro­ ceries come from and that is why farm shops and farmers’ markets are becoming more popular.” In America, Mr Barnes


will also visit a micro-brew­ ery, which he is exploring as a possibility in redun­ dant farm buildings adja­ cent to his complex in the Ribble Valley. He said: “I t is about


rural businesses diversify­ ing, creating jobs and breathing life back into the countryside.” While in the States, he


will attend the North American Farmers Direct Marketing Association Conference.


Anti-war demo expected to attract many locals


MANY people from the Ribble Valley are expect­ ed to join a large contin­ gent from East Lan­ cashire travelling to Lon­ don to demonstrate against war with Iraq. Mr Graham Carter,


secretary of the Black­ burn with Darwen Stop file, tVar:,Cpalition;jsaid th a t ’ th e rew ere 's till place's available on coaches travelling to the capital for the demon­ stration.


"A lot of Clitheroe


people already come to our group meetings in Blackburn," said Mr Carter, adding that coaches are travelling to London from Preston, Blackpool and Wigan and the Blackburn coach is due to leave the Boule­ vard at 6-45 a.m. on Feb­ ruary 15th. Anyone requiring more


information is asked to telephone 01254 265729.


Lives may be saved thanks to machine


m 11631


LIVES could be saved in Clitheroe because of some new equipment being handed over this


week. The British Heart Foun­


dation is paying the £3,000 needed to equip Clitheroe First Responders with an automated defibrillator for use in heart attack cases. The Clitheroe First-


Responder Scheme was launched last year. Now there is a team of


20 people in the town who can be at the scene of a col­ lapse case within minutes and render first aid prior to the arrival of paramedics. The object of a First


Responder is to be at the scene of a cardiac arrest emergency within eight


minutes. Every minute that elaps­


es after a cardiac arrest reduces the victim’s chances of recovery by 10% - after eight minutes there is virtually no chance of recovery. To keep the patient alive,


emergency life support by cardiac massage and mouth-to-mouth resuscita­ tion must be started imme­ diately the heart stops. But only a defribillator


can restart an arrested heart. Although the Clitheroe


team has 20 volunteers, they are always looking for more. Anyone interested is asked to contact Gary Tay­ lor on 01200 443008.

High praise from assessors for hospital and its caring staff


by Tim Procter


THE very special status and high standards of Calderstones Hospital, Whalley, have been recognised in a


Government report. The hospital and its associated com­


munity homes, some in the Manchester area, look after 135 men and 40 women. There is a staff of 655 and an operating budget this year of £19m. Assessors visiting under the Charter


Mark scheme found th a t staff of the NHS trust which runs the hospital were enthusiastic and professional. They provided a high level of care and


treatment to vulnerable and sometimes difficult clients. “They are well supported by your


managers and senior staff and highly val­ ued by clients who appreciate their car­ ing approach,” said the assessors’ report. “Overall, staff, clients, carers and part­


ners presented an excellent image of the trust’s services.” The accommodation provided was wel­


come and homely, and there were pleas­ ant, clean and modern facilities for secure, medium and long-term care. The house-based community homes


run by the trust offered freedoms and choices with an impressive level of care. The tru s t had also taken the lead in developing services for women. “We commend the development of


your treatment and care planning process, the level of partnership working and your leaflet packs for clients and vis­ itors.” The trust performed particularly well,


said the report, on setting standards, con­ sulting and involving, providing access and choice, putting things right and inno­ vating and improving. “Your clients’ abilities to comprehend


are varied, but generally poor and you reproduce your standards in a client-


A mark of excellence


friendly form for explanation and discus­ sion.” There was convincing evidence that


clients were happy and settled. The asses­ sors noted that there was good communi­ cation with clients, easy access for clients and carers to co-ordinated services throughout their stay and effective work with other providers to deliver efficien­ cies, including good use of modern tech­ nology. “Your security improvements, together


with your ‘Calderstones News’ initiative are an excellent example of listening to and involving your neighbours.” The assessors suggest that Calderstones


NHS Trust managers monitor all its stan­ dards, keep information material under review, seek to express survey results in percentages, introduce a specific policy statement for the needs of the physically and sensory disabled, test the views of carers more and implement a client satis­ faction survey at the earliest opportunity.

Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, February 6th, 2003 9 Long distance mail


MEMBERS of Ribble Valley Philatelic Society were given an insight into a different subject during their first meeting of the year when they were given an illustrated talk on the Union Castle Shipping Line, with partic­ ular reference to the Round Africa route and the carriage of mail. The talk was given by Mr Strong, who also


produced some philatelic items, including mail carried on board in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1890, he told the society, a postcard took 19 days to get from England to Capetown. He also showed mem­ bers a special souvenir cover to commemo­ rate the last voyage of the liner Windsor Cas­ tle in 1977.
