A HONEYMOON in Mex­ ico followed the wedding of Miss Janine Rothwell and Mr Keith Roberts, both of Chatburn, a t St Paul’s Church, Low Moor. The bride, a secretary for

and a Blackburn Rovers supporter, is the son of Mr and Mrs John and Carole Roberts of Siddows Farm,

Henthorn. Given away by her father,

Chatburn. NFU kteeps up the


pressure for increase SOME progress is being made in the battle to gain an increase in farm gate milk prices says the Nation­ al Farmers' Union. NFU milk chairman Ter-


rig Morgan said th a t the key to an increase remains in the cheese sector. I t is understood tha t there has been some price movement


of approximately £200 per tonne in this sector. Mr Morgan said: "This


movement is a recognition of the fact that prices had to go up as demanded by the market fundamentals. "However, this must be


converted into real money in farmers’ pockets. "If there is to be more


progress, i t is important that everyone in the supply chain ensures that the mar­ ket operates normally."


The NFU is continuing to


back the major milk co­ operatives’ demands for at least a 2p per litre rise in the farm gate price of milk and says it will continue to do so while negotiations continue. Hundreds of farmers have


protested outside major pro­ cessing plants in recent weeks. The NFU is support­


ive of members taking part in peaceful demonstrations to highlight their demands for a price rise. The NFU with, other


farming organisations, has called since March for a rise


‘in the price of milk paid to producers with many not even covering the 20p per litre production cost. The cheese market has


been identified as key to farmers’ receiving price increases.

COURT IN BRIEF Admitted shoplifting


A MAN who was stopped as he left a Clitheroe store with stolen razor blades told security staff they were lucky he had not attacked them with the knife he had in his bag. Blackburn magistrates heard that Michael


Paul Briscoe (32), then produced a craft knife from his bag and dragged it across his hand and nails before reiterating th a t he could have used it. The court heard th a t Briscoe, of Tong


Lane, Bacup, then asked relieved staff if he could throw the knife in the bin and they


gladly agreed. The defendant pleaded guilty to shoplift­


ing at Booths. He was remanded on bail until October


31st for the preparation of pre-sentence reports. The magistrates said th a t all options,


including custody, should be open to the sen­ tencing magistrates after hearing th a t Briscoe was already subject to a conditional discharge, a community rehabilitation order and a community punishment order. They were imposed this year for offences


of shoplifting by courts in Bury, Burnley and Rochdale.


' " - Mr Neil Standage (prosecuting) said that


“refreshingly” Briscoe claimed he had stolen the razors because he needed a shave.

THREE people have appeared before Black­ burn magistrates charged with affray. Alan James Nester (32), and Mark


Anthony Nester (21), both of Mitchell Street, Clitheroe, pleaded not guilty and were remanded on bail until November 24th. Simon Ian Bartlett (26), of George Street,

Farmer David is a top student


• • • • \ •


TEENAGE hill farmer David Parkinson has proved there are no dunces in Dunsop Bridge. He has been presented with a


p re s tig io u s fu r th e r ed u c a t io n award from the University of Cen­ tra l Lancashire’s Cumbria Cam­


pus, a t Newton Rigg. David (18) of Hareden Farm,


received the award for Best National Diploma in Agriculture (Hill Farm­ ing) after consistently impressing his tutors throughout the demanding course. At a special awards ceremony at


Newton Rigg, the university’s vice- chancellor, Professor Malcolm McVicar, said: “David worked dili­ gently and effectively throughout the course and tackled his studies with a great deal of maturity. “He never failed to submit


assigned work to the deadline and his work was consistently of an exceed­ ingly high standard. “He achieved 13 distinction grades and three merit grades -


this speaks


volumes for his application and abili­ ty; an excellent performance from a popular student.” Now David is extending his stud­


ies part-time at Newton Rigg while also working on the family beef and sheep farm. He previously attended Thorney-


holme RC Primary School, in Dun- sop Bridge, and St Augustine’s RC High School, at Billington, before going to the University of Central Lancashire. His parents, Mr Edward and Mrs Jean Parkinson, are delighted at his


success. “He’s achieved a very high stan­


dard right through his course and we’re very proud of him,” said Mrs Parkinson.


Norm al Price Also during the recent ceremony,


Cumbrian broadcaster and current chairman of Radio 4’s Gardener’s Question Time Mr Eric Robson was presented with an Honorary Fellow­ ship of the University.


The award was made in recogni­

BUSINESSES throughout the Ribble Valley are being warned to be on their guard for let­ ters containing an unsolicited invoice for £499 from an Internet naming company called


"Nodots". Lancashire Trading Standards is already


receiving complaints about the Danish com­ pany which has been sending out letters to businesses throughout the country. The letters include an invoice and paying-


in slip for a service offering web registration for five similar names which allow Internet users to find a company without knowing the correct Internet address.


Firms warned over £499 invoices Although the covering letter states that if


the recipient does not want the service they should disregard the invoice, in some cases the invoice has arrived on its own and could be mistakenly paid by a business. Lancashire County Council's chief trading


standards officer Jim Potts said: "While Nodots may not be breaking any legislation, the sending of an unsolicited invoice for £499 may confuse businesses into thinking that they are obliged to pay the money. "If businesses receive these invoices and


they have not requested the service, then they should not pay."
