SUICIDE bombs and terrorist attacks are regularly reported in the international news. As I write this there has just

is Iraq and several other coun­ tries.


an attempt to tear down the established government system ; because those committing the atrocities do not like the present' situation.


These attacks are apparently .


| '/ Most of us, quite rightly, feel a 1' sense of outrage and revulsion at these things.


But there seems to be within


21st Century human nature a greater desire to tear down rather than build up.


We have recently-seen the situ­ ation where a small number of


. .


ment were dissatisfied with Iain Duncan Smith as Tory Party leader. The national press got hold of this and so pursued it, looking for any possible negative information, that in a short space of time there was a change of leadership. ; ■ The very day th a t Michael


Howard was confirmed as Tory leader the national press focused on the division they perceived between the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. • There are those in the national press who, it seems, would like to bring about another downfall. - The question is: Are we any


different? Do we gladly receive and pass on gossip about some­ one that puts them in a bad light?; Do we enjoy seeing our politi­ cians humiliated? Are we better at pulling people to pieces than encouraging them.

Conservative Members of Parlia- ij talks about the authority God ■O


In the Bible, the Apostle Paul


has given Him to build up not to tear down.


We all need encouragement. It


helps us get through life and deal with the challenges and demands we meet.


We recently approached a


number of people including bus drivers to give them a tube of sweets and a small card saying: “You are appreciated for the job


•you do.” The result was amazing. Some of the drivers were so used to getting complaints and abuse that they were overwhelmed by this encouragement. , May I encourage you this week to look for people you can encour­ age or build up. Just a few words can do a great deal.

Police chief’s backing for more frontline bobbies on the beat


AS council taxes face a possible national increase following a pre­ dicted shortfall in police authority


- funding, Lancashire's Chief Con­ stable gives his thoughts.


and Lancashire Police Authority) regarding likely significant shortfalls in government funding for police forces in the forthcoming 2004/5 financial year. If the predicted three per cent increase does come about, there will be a £250m. funding gap nationally, which concerns me greatly.


I


AM aware of the comments by Dr Ruth Henig (Chair of the Association of Police Authorities


As I see it-. . . by]Paul$ ' Step.nenson I have discussed with Dr Henig and


cant increase in the council tax for policing here and my view is that local people would want to see some improvement in their policing service rather than just pay more for the same, particularly as we currently have one of the lowest council taxes for policing in the country. There is no doubt that the demand


colleagues in the Lancashire Police Authority what the implications of such a settlement would be for Lan­ cashire. There would inevitably be a signifi­


testing their views on increases in the local Council Tax for more policing. As part of this process, Divisional


for policing continues to outstrip our ability to meet it and people's expecta-


' tions of the police are also increasing. The “one size fits all” solution is no longer acceptable and communities properly expect services that are tai­ lored to their specific needs. We recognised this a year ago and the


Police Authority.then supported an increase of 80 Community Beat Man­ agers, which has been hugely appreciat­ ed in the communities in which they now operate. I fully support the Police Authority in their consultation with the public,


Commanders (or their representatives) will be available to explain how, during


’ this year, they have used their additional Community Beat Managers and also, how they would propose to use any addi­ tional resources for the forthcoming financial year that might be agreed dur­


ing the Police Authority's consultation. ' My commitment to the people of Lan­


cashire is that, should they support the provision of additional officers in 2004/5, the vast majority of those staff will be highly visible, uniformed, front-line offi­ cers, that is, extra "Bobbies on the Beat", which is the request I hear most regular­ ly from all of our communities.


-LOOKING BACK 100 years ago


THE Board of Guardians rejected the recommendation of the purchase of a boardroom chair, costing £8, for the use of the chairman. Members stated that as responsi­ ble as the work of the occupant undoubtedly was, he himself had no desire to be, as it were, enthroned above his fellows in a chair costing as many pounds as theirs did sixpences. ■ The Local Government Inspector, Mr Fust, gave a


satisfactory report on the condition of the Clitheroe Workhouse. He then told the Board of Guardians that he favoured a resolution which advocated new legisla­ tion in order to checkmate the dragging about the coun­ try of vagrant children, which he said was perpetuating the existence of a vagrant class in the country. He declared that once the Unions took the matter up it was expected that they would see the parents of child vagrants punished by law. ■ At the Borough Police Court, Thomas Sweeney, of


no fixed address, was charged with sleeping on a haystack in Greenacre Street. He was sent to Preston for seven days hard labour.

New leases of life for old computers Jigsaw Employment Services has supplied a


“recycled” computer to one of their clients, Claire Metcalf, for personal and college work use. The personal computer was obtained from Trin­


ity Community Centre. As many computers become old and obsolete they are often worth so little in monetary terms, that they are simply thrown away. Trinity and Jigsaw are now seeking more old


computers so that they can be donated to their clients.

can be used in this way can contact Trinity Com­ munity Centre on 01200 427886. Our picture shows Claire with her computer, (s)

25 years ago


THE worst job crisis in years hit the Clitheroe area, but contrary to the national trend it was a case of too many ; obs chasing too few people. Young adults and those with specialist mechanical skills were required, but there were not sufficient locally to supply the Valley’s engi­ neering companies. . A Clitheroe employment officer said that half the available men were in their 60s and therefore deemed unsuitable for retraining.
