Gentle walk in the heat


ONE of the hottest days of the year was promised for the Clitheroe Ram­ blers’ walk up Inglebor- ough. They took it gently,


with lots of stops for drinks. Starting from Clapham, the 10 walkers took the Long Lane route to Sulber, then turned to head directly for the sum­ mit. The dilapidated shoot­


ing hut provided a stop­ ping point for lunch before the final ascent over Simon Fell Breast and the climb to the plateau. A cool breeze made it


pleasant as the group enjoyed the rarity of clear views all round - and another drink. Returning to the edge of


the plateau, the descent was made over Little Ingleborough to Gaping Gill, Trow Gill, Inglebor­ ough Cave and the Clap- dale Drive to Clapham. The next weekend walk


will be on Sunday July 20th, climbing Gragareth - the highest peak wholly in Lancashire -


from Ireby.


They will meet at the Chester Avenue car park at 9.30 a.m.


Broadband promise


PUBLIC pressure has obtained a Broadband promise for another Valley community. Whalley’s telephone


exchange will have the nec­ essary equipment for the high speed link by October 15th, BT has promised the Whalley Action Group. "We are very grateful to


everyone who helped in this campaign,” said group official Mr Alan Ilolgate.

Tuneful pupils entertained at a


service


YOUNG people from Clitheroe Royal Gram­ mar School played a host of instruments at their annual Commem­


oration Day service. The musical line-up


included a trio of trum­ peters, a brass quintet, an organist and an accompa­ nying choir. The sermon was given by


the Venerable John Hawley, the Archdeacon of Black- bum. The congregation at the


service included many retired staff members, school governors and friends of the school. Headteacher Mr Stuart


Holt said: “This year's ser­ vice was particularly good, the sermon was geared very much towards the students. “Many people comment­


ed that it was the best Com­ memoration Day the school has ever had.” Pictured, from the left, is


Mr James Parker MBE, Mr Holt and guests includ­ ing, far right, the Mayor and Mayoress of the Ribble Valley, Coun. and Mrs Alan and Susan Yearing, and the Mayor and Mayoress of Clitheroe, Mrs Joan Knight and Mrs Helen Ashworth. (B090703/1)

Local businessman is running to raise cash for hospital which saved his wife


A LOCAL businessman is run­ ning a half-marathon to help the hospital which saved his wife. Mr Richard Wood will be join­


ing thousands of other fun run­ ners, joggers and athletes on the Great North Run in Newcastle in September, his aim being to raise money for the Adult Leukaemia Unit at Christie Hospital, Man­ chester. His wife, Jane, spent almost a


year in the unit after being diag­ nosed with acute myloid leukaemia. This culminated in a successful unrelated bone marrow transplant in 1997, a match found using the Anthony Nolan Trust. Jane recovered from this, but


then had to undergo an operation at Hope Hospital to remove a brain tumour. The couple have since changed their lives and careers to adapt to


their new circumstances and have opened Ribble Valley Recliners in Clitheroe, a venture where they


can work together and Richard can help out with their two daughters. Richard will be running with


their friends Jane and David Earnshaw and his brother Andrew. He said: “This will be a bit of a challenge to me, as I can’t


recall doing anything active since leaving school. “ I feel this is an opportunity to


to help the fantastic facility and staff of Christie ALU and give something back to the unit that helped our family back to a nor­ mal life.” Anyone wishing to sponsor


Richard can drop into the King Street shop and pledge a dona­ tion. Our picture shows Richard


training near the family’s home in Barrow, accompanied by Millie the dalmatian, who, he said, seems to enjoy the exercise, (s)

CUSTOMERS voted with their feet in our Hair Salon of the Year 2003 competition. Hair Care, Clitheroe, was overwhelmingly


declared the winner. Entry coupons arrived at our office day after


day, brought in by delighted customers of the Par­ son Lane salon.


Hair Care is one of the town's long established


hairdressers, with Susan Higham handing over the reins to Heather Mitton just eight weeks ago. Susan had owned the salon for 25 years and Heather had worked alongside her for 22 of them.


Starting as a Saturday girl, on the day she left


school she joined the staff and has been there ever since. Working alongside her are stylists Julie Barton,


Janet Faulkner and Carol Carter (not pictured). General assistant is Patty Trotter. A good measure of any salon is the loyalty of its


staff and Hair Care's employees are no exception. Julie left Hair Care 16 years ago for family reasons and returned 12 months ago. Janet has been with


the salon for more than 12 years, leaving for a short while to return 15 months ago.

THE borough council is alerting residents and shop­ keepers to the dangers of mini cup jelly sweets contain­ ing Konjac after two of these illegal products were found on sale in the United Kingdom. This type of sweet was banned across Europe last


year following the deaths from choking of about 18 children worldwide. A product called Jellyace


Lychee Flavor Konjac has now been found on sale in shops in England and Wales and a similar mini-cup sweet called Jellyace Buko Pandan,


labelled as containing Kon­ jac, was found at a shop in Oswestry, Shropshire. Ribble Vallqy Borough


Council has issued the warn­ ing on behalf of the Food Standards Agency and says that parents should be alert to the potential risk from


these sweets and children should not buy or eat them. The agency has asked the


borough council to visit local shops to ensure that if any of these products are found, they are removed from sale. In both Jellyace products, the jelly is contained in a


dome-shaped plastic cup, similar to a coffee creamer container, with a peel-off foil lid. These are sold in 192g packs, each containing 12 sweets. The manufacturer of the


named products is the San Miguel Corporation, a food,


beverage and packaging com­ pany based in the Phillip- pines. Anyone requiring further


information should contact James Russell, Environmen­ tal Health Manager at Ribble Valley Borough Council, tel. 01200 414466.
