www.clitheroetoday.co.uk £6,000 boost for charity which helps young to a better lifestyle
AS the night sky of Clitheroe was set ablaze with this year’s successful bon-, fire, £6,000 was raised for charity. Due to the generosity of the people
who attended the bonfire, organised by Clitheroe’s two Rotary Clubs, Ribblesdale and Clitheroe, plus local Round Tablets and Lions, the Life Education chanty will be £6,000 bet ter off. The charity has mobile education
units which visit junior schools all over the country, offering a pro gramme to illustrate how children can achieve a healthy lifestyle and have respect for their bodies. Emphasis on the dangers and
drawbacks of drugs, solvent abuse, alcohol and smoking, and how exer cise and diet can help you have a long and healthy life, are included in this programme. The unit is accessible to all junior
schools in the Ribble Valley. Our picture shows a unit at a
school with Mr Jim Duxbury, presi dent of Clitheroe Rotary Club, and Mr Nick Mahon, vice-president of Ribblesdale Rotary Club.(s)

YOUN G people at risk from flu should be as keen to have a vaccination as older people, according to Professor Qutub Syed, the Health Protection Agency’s North-West Regional Direc tor. He said: “It is of crucial importance
for children.and young people who come into the at risk categories for flu
to be immunised. “It is a common misconception that free
PUPILS from St Augustine’s RC High School, Billington, emerged as winners at a public speaking competition held at the village’s Clar ion Hotel. Eight teams took part in the contest and the
standard of speaking was very high, making the judges’ task a difficult one. The choice of
topics covered such diverse subjects as dialect, beauty pageants and apathy among young voters. St Augustine's choice of topic was “Drugs in
Sport”. Catherine Dudbridge spoke out against the legalisation of all performance enhancing drugs in sport. She was ably assisted by chairman Oliver Nguyen, who also took the trophy for best
chairman. This was particularly significant as it was the first year that boys have been allowed to enter the annual competition, which is organised by the Association of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs. The final member of St Augustine’s team
was Helena Oldcorne, who gave the vote of thanks to Clitheroe Royal Grammar School. Oliver’s success was also noteworthy, as he
only learned that he was taking part in the competition a few hours prior to it, when Kim Shepherd had to withdraw from the event due to illness. Our picture shows the St Augustine’s team,

flu jabs are only available for people aged over 65. They are also available to anyone with heart or chest complaints, including asthma, diabetes, chronic kidney disease or lowered immunity due to disease or treat ment, such as steroid or cancer treatment. “I would strongly advise young adults who
suffer from any of these conditions to arrange to have their flu jabs as soon as possible. The same advice applies to the parents and guardians of vulnerable children, no matter
how young. A simple injection could help pre vent dismay and heartache as winter draws in.” Prof. Syed said that fit young people would
normally recover unaided from a bout of flu in about two weeks, but it could be a devas

lies who prospered by combining export of iron and household goods to West Africa and the West Indies with slave trading. Farmers were also involved, with many
tating and occasionally fatal illness for unpro tected older people and younger people with other risk factors. “It is true that most fit, younger people
have no need of a flu jab. They will usually throw off the disease unaided and make a complete recovery as nature takes its course,” he said. “However, the same cannot be said for peo
ple with heart conditions, respiratory prob lems) diabetes or lowered immunity. They could be seriously at risk from flu and, no matter how young, they really should be immunised as soon as possible.” Latest figures for the North-West region,
published earlier this month, reveal that while flu levels are currently normal for the time of year, significantly more cases are being recorded than in the corresponding periods of the past three “unusually quiet” years. A worrying factor is that the majority of
cases currently being reported are among children and younger adults. Prof. Syed added that anyone suffering
. from flu or any other infectious condition ' should not visit relatives or friends in hospi tals or residential homes. Flu sufferers should also avoid social gatherings and public events where they might risk spreading infection to others. People suffering from flu can receive advice from NHS Direct on 0845 4647.

Phone fines warning to drivers
MOTORISTS in the Ribble Valley caught using a mobile phone while driving will soon face being fined. From December 1st, offenders caught talk
ing on the phone while driving, will be fined £30 or up to £1,000 if the matter goes to court. Drivers of goods vehicles or coaches can be fined £2,500. The penalty is likely to be increased to £60
and made subject to three penalty points in the future. The warning, which comes from police in the Ribble Valley and across Lan cashire, aims to ensure that drivers do not put themselves or other road users at risk. The head of road policing for Lancashire
Constabulary, Chief Insp. Val Prince, explained: “Mobile communication is a valu able and necessary part of modern day life,
but anyone who needs to hold telephone con versations while driving, must fit a suitable hands-free device. To drive safely, motorists must concentrate fully "and focus all their attention on the road.” Even drivers who do use hands-free phones
could still face prosecution in certain circum stances Chief Insp. Prince added: “Drivers should
remember that the police can still use exist ing legislation if drivers are distracted by calls on a hands-free phone. “They could be prosecuted for failure to
have proper control or if there were an inci dent, for careless or dangerous driving.” Calls to 999 (or 112), in genuine emergen
cies where it would be unsafe or impractical to stop, are exempt.
