manager a t Castle Cement’s Ribblesdale works, said: “The excep­ tionally high temperatures a t which they operate mean th a t cement kilns offer a valuable recovery option. Tyres make an excellent energy source and are particularly suited to the manufacture of cement. “The rubber and cotton


found in tyres are com­ pletely consumed without any of the black smoke or smells normally associated with burning them on a bonfire. Steel reinforcing in the tyres melts and replaces a portion of iron, which is otherwise added to the raw material mix. “The use of tyres makes


good all-round sense. They cut consumption of finite


- fossil fuels, help to over­ come a huge disposal prob­ lem, improve our environ­ mental performance and reduce production costs,” said Mr Price. Castle Cement is compil­


ing a report on the trial and will submit it to the Envi­ ronment Agency in due course.

CIVIC dignitaries and special guests joined the celebrations at the Rotary Club of Clitheroe’s 70th annual char­ ter dinner. Held at the Mytton Fold Hotel,


Langho, the event proved a very enjoyable and memorable evening. Around 70 members and their


guests attended, including the presi­ dents of the local Lions, Rotaract, Probus and the Ribble Valley and


Pendle View Rotary Clubs. Rotary District Governor Mr


Robert Wright attended, as did the Ribble Valley Mayor and Mayoress, Coun. Alan Yearing and his wife,


Susan, and the deputy Mayor and consort, Coun. Mary Robinson and her husband, David. All were warmly welcomed by the


Clitheroe club’s president, Rotarian Rev. Canon James Duxbury. Guest speaker for the evening was


the Rev. Arnold Harrison, Moderator of the United Reformed Church in West Yorkshire. He spoke of the many similarities between the Rotary move­


ment and the church, particularly in their common ambition to serve the community. He also shared his remi­ niscences of the many amusing aspects of life as a clergyman.


Next year will mark 100 years of


R otary In te rn a t io n a l and the Clitheroe club is busy making its own plans to mark that centenary. Its members - together with local


Round Tablers and Lions - are also busy organising this year’s bonfire night celebrations, to be held on the Castle Field on Saturday, November 1st.

School play area out of bounds


by Tim Procter


PART of the play area at Whal- le y CE S ch o o l h a s now been fenced off. This has been done to keep pupils


away from a section where boughs have fallen from p a r ish church graveyard chestnut trees spreading


above. The school governors are sending


the bill for the fence, understood to be several hundred pounds, to Whalley Parish Council, which is responsible for maintaining the trees. As reported in the Advertiser and


Times, the governors are very con­ cerned at the dangers posed by the bough falls and seek decisive action - the fence is a temporary measure. For the past 14 months, school staff


have had to stand guard to ensure that children using the playground are kept away from the chestnut canopy. Now the governors are wanting a long-term solution to be suggested,


and actioned by the parish council. A meeting between the two groups agreed that each would commission an independent expert to examine the sit­ uation and further action would be decided in the light of any recommen­


dations made. "Our expert has visited the area and


we await his report," says Mr David Borland, chairman of the governors.


"I do not know what progress the parish council has made, but I hope there will be no delay. "Clearly, great care is still needed at


school despite the fence and despite warnings to the children. We believe the situation has gone on long enough." So far, the governors have stepped


back from legal action against the council, but Mr Borland says that they have a duty to the pupils and parents and will do whatever is neces­ sary to ensure total safety. Whalley Parish Council briefly dis­


cussed the issue a t its meeting on Thursday, though it was not made


clear when its own expert would sub­ mit a report. Council chairman Coun. Eric Ron-


nan suggested that the Advertiser and Times was wrong to say that the issue of the trees was a contentious one. The council had had very good discussions with the school governors about the trees, he said. Several councillors felt that, what­


ever the outcome of the present con­ cerns, a long-term plan should be developed for the churchyard, looking 30 years forward. Coun. Norman Atty said there were


two quite young oak trees in the area by the allotments - someone had planted them - and the council should be looking to the future in the same way. "What we need is a plan," he


declared and Coun. Ronnan added: "In 50 years' time you could be looking at a different churchyard." I t was decided to consider both pre­


sent maintenance and future long­ term plans.


Rotary speaker proves a hit with guests


Date set for work to start on park facelift


THE much-anticipated project to improve Brungerley P a rk will start on Monday. The work has been divided into


two phases, the first involving arboriculture work to thin out existing growth and stimulate new, followed by the reinstate­ ment of paths, walls, street furni­ ture and public conveniences. Ribble Valley Borough Council


says that it is hoped to keep dis­ ruption down to a minimum, but anticipates that, on health and safety grounds, there may be tem­ porary closures of certain foot­ paths. There will also be the need for


temporary traffic lights on Waddington Road, Clitheroe, which are expected to be in place


for no more than two days. Weath­ er will be the key factor in deter­ mining the timetable for the work, but the council hopes to have completed most of the arboriculture, work by Christmas. The reinstatement of the foot­


paths will be the final aspect of the project and this will take place in March. Leisure and tourism manager


Mr Chris Hughes expressed the council's thanks to everyone who took p a r t in the consultation process which, he said, had helped to determine the key priorities for the project. While we will be unable to include every sugges­ tion put forward, we are confident that people will be pleased with the finished product," he added.


A century of rural change


MEMBERS of Clitheroe Probus witnessed the fruits of considerable research by the Waddington Women's Institute Millennium Project when Mrs Jenny Bradley presented the results in the form of a Power Point presentation. With husband, Don, controlling


the computer and digital projector she traced the changes to the farms and rural landscape of the Hodder Valley over the past 100 years. The scope was immense, dealing as it did with more than 150 farms


in the Valley. Witnessing through old and new


photos the change from clogs to shoes, horses to tractors, a farm house decayed to a pile of stones, the memories were poignant. Cul­ minating in modern times, the speaker described how salvation for some farms had appeared in the form of diversification and amalga­ mation. Probus meets on the first and


third Friday of the month at 11 a.m. at the Pendle Club, Lower- gate, Clitheroe. The next meeting is on November 7th when Stuart Willis will talk about "Church Clocks".


If' ■. 'L' l " ^


solve the problems of storage. A strong team of 25 pupils from Ribblesdale High


School Technology College, who are members of “Lodestar”, this year’s Young Enterprise company, will be working towards making a multi-purpose rack for the


kitchen. The rack will be made up of multiple designs i.e. spice


rack, jam rack and many more. Managing director of the company, Amy Knowles, and


personnel director Alice Houghton along with the rest of the group, will be advised by two former students of Rib­ blesdale High School Technology College, and former Young Enterprise participants Mr Andrew Bates from BAE Systems and Miss Julie Ramsbottom from Britan­ nia Airways. The firm is also working towards a Year 11 leavers’


book which will be completed before the students leave next year. The school has won many awards in the recent past for the Young Enterprise schemes and certainly hopes to win


again this year. Pictured are members of the company at the launch of


Lodestar. (B151003/11) Donor session
