Clitheroe Liberal Democrat MEP Chris Davies (pictured above), has been adopted by the European Parliament. It makes clear that materials accompany ing products throughout their life will not be included, and excludes flowerpots from the recycling law. Said Mr Davies: “Most peo

a bunch of flowers is clearly packaging, but a flowerpot is an integral part of the product, and that is what we are making clear in the revised law. No one else in Europe has had this difficulty. Those who blame the EU for every inconvenience will have to think again. This has been a home grown British problem right from the very start.”(s)
A TOP honour for outstand ing service to the community has been presented to a past president of the Rotary Club of Ribblesdale. Mr George Clarkson and
his wife, Edna, received the highest award given by Rotary International. Each was honoured as a Paul Har ris Fellow, which was present ed by Mr Thomas Slinger, assistant governor for the South East area of Lan cashire and Cumbria. During a lifetime dedicated
to charitable and voluntary work in the community, Mr
Clarkson was chairman of the steering committee which raised funds for the Temple Street Centre in Burnley for people with disabilities. He is also involved with the Talk ing Newspaper for the Blind, initially in Burnley, and now he reads regularly with the team in Clitheroe. Mrs Clarkson has long been associated with the
Talking Newspaper and is now one of the editors. In addition, she was active with Meals on Wheels in Burnley and visiting deaf and blind people. Until recently the couple
were joint chairmen of the Ribble Valley branch fund raising committee for the
East Lancashire Hospice, and Mr Clarkson remains a trustee. His wife was the founder
president of the Inner Wheel Club of Ribblesdale and is cur rently secretary of the Women’s Institute, an organi sation with which she has been associated for many years.

Watch the omnibus edition for an easy way to travel around the Ribble Valley
j OR many people, the magic of the Ribble Valley lies in the small communities and mar
ket towns that nestle amongst some of Lancashire's finest countryside. The remoteness of many of these
communities - the very thing th a t makes them attractive to some - has in the past led to some people in these places feeling cut off. The Bowtand Transit bus services were

set up earlier this year in direct response to what we were told by local residents - they wanted more opportunities to travel where and when they wanted. The opening of Clitheroe Interchange
and the associated services marked the start of a new way of looking at transport - investing in projects that meet the needs of local people and the thousands of visi tors we welcome every year.
No potty
FLOWERPOTS in Clitheroe are gaining new status after q costly blunder was corrected by MEPs. Unnecessary charges have
been levied on large nurseries and garden centres after a sur
prise judgement in 2001 which led to Britain being the only European country to define flowerpots as packaging. As a result, the pots fell within the scope of the EU packaging
directive which intended to encourage the recycling of waste materials, resulting in costly cal culations and administrative headaches for specialist retailers. However, an amendment to the EU packaging law, tabled by

TWO teenagers from the Ribble Valley are taking on a 130-mile cycle trek to help out the epileptic brother of one of them. Biking-mad friends
raised over £470 for the charity Epilepsy Action. The organisation helps to support people like Matthew’s six-year-old brother, George, who suffers severely from the illness. Both Matthew, who has
just finished his GCSEs at Settle High School, and Richard, who attends Bow- land High School, will be supported by their families who will be driving along the route. The families, who are
from Tosside, are also including a few days holiday to celebrate the end of the journey. Matthew’s mum, Mrs
Carol Waddington, said: “Both of the boys are look ing forward to it - they real ly love biking, so they can’t
wait. They especially like off-roading, so the planned route is going off the beaten track.” Donations are very wel

A CLITHEROE artist has had his latest creation unveiled during a ceremony. Mr Raymond Pickup (56), of West View,
Clitheroe, has produced a unique painting of Blackburn College as if the facade were made of glass. Mr Pickup, who is following a supported learn

House, which provides support for people with dis abilities, hearing and speech difficulties. Hesaid: “I have painted people who go to.

'demand responsive' element to many routes.
All you have to do is let us know in

boost the economies of places like the Rib ble Valley.

100 years ago
THE Bowland Rural D is trict Authority had to consider the widening of the Sun Inn Bridge spanning the brook in the centre of Waddington.

A spate of accidents prompted □ The Volunteers left for their
annual encampment to be held at Ramsay, Isle of Man, and about as ideal a spot as one could wish for a week’s sojourn under canvas. Certainly the change was consid
ered far preferable to Salisbury Plain, where the absence of places of amusement to which to repair when off duty made the previous year’s encampment less enjoyable than it might otherwise have been.
□ Henry Southwarth, a well-
known character in the town, was charged with absconding from the
Workhouse with the Union clothing. He said that he had no intention of stealing the items, but had a love of liberty and took a walk into the country. The accused kept the court in laughter and, having promised to return the clothing, was discharged.
50 years ago
ABOUT 120 young people in Clitheroe and district ended their schooldays, but the cotton industry, which was in need of young entrants, received only a few of the job seekers. A survey showed that the industry proved to be at the bot tom of the list of occupations favoured by local school leavers.
□ Clitheroe Old People’s Welfare
Committee sought permission from the Town Council to erect a perma nent clubhouse for old people on land behind Princess Avenue. A flag day raised £75 towards the sum required for its purchase and other fund-raising events were organised.
D The price of certain grades of
domestic coal was raised to local consumers, in line with similar increases throughout the country. Top quality coal increased by 5d, to six shillings per hundredweight.
