by Tim Procter


A FORMER headmaster of Stonyhurst College, Fr George Earle, has died aged 78. F r Earle was in charge of the

Balliol College, Oxford, before start­ ing the long training to become a Jesuit. Ordained in 1960, Fr Earle spent three years as Rector of St Aloysius’s


College, Glasgow, a fte r leaving Stonyhurst. Later he was chosen as head of the


English province of the Jesuits, which he had renamed British. On retiring from the post, Fr Earle was involvied in priest training in

AMERICAN-STYLE cheerleading is the latest subject on the currriculum at a Ribble Valley primary school. Children at Gisburn Primary School had


great fun learning how to be cheeerleaders, with help from Burnley Football Club. Its Rural Schools Project is working with smaller


schools across the district, helping children to experience a wide range of sporting activities and discover which they enjoy most. Gisburn headteacher Mr Andrew Symonds


said: “As soon as we found out that cheer­ leading was a possibility, we jumped at the chance to give those children who aren’t foot­ ball mad the chance to keep fit in an unusual and enjoyable way.” It proved a very popular experience for all the children, who had never done anything


like it before. Aimee Smith, from Class 3, said: “I really liked dancing to the music. I would love to do


it again.” So the next time that the school’s football


team takes to the field they might just have their very own cheerleaders on the touchline to give them support.

Work starts on hospital build


WORK has begun on a £28m. hospital devel­ opment that will benefit patients across the Ribble Valley. The major development and expansion is


under way a t Burnley General Hospital, where many patients from the Valley receive treatment. The signing of contracts between East Lan­


cashire Hospitals NHS Trust and Catalyst Healthcare marked the start of the three-year project. Mr John L. Thomas, chief executive of the


trust, said: “I am delighted that the trust has signed contracts on this major development at Burnley General Hospital. The project will provide the trust with superb new facilities for


patients, staff and visitors alike.” “Visitors will see a new main entrance with


parking close by. A 15-station renal dialysis unit will be built and will be a boost for patients undergoing treatment as it means that they can now receive treatment on their own doorstep. There are currently no renal dialysis facilities in the Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale area. There will be 170 beds with­ in the new building and there will be facilities within the new outpatient departments for radiology, satellite pharmacy, ECG and der­ matology. “The new development will also allow all


medical specialties for in-patients and out­ patients to be located together in one build­ ing. The out-of-date Victorian accommoda­ tion, containing Wards 10 tol6, will be demol­ ished as a result of this new development.” The estimated completion date for the development is spring 2006.

Glamour proves a real boost


TWO days of glamour, entertain­ ment, food, champagne and cat- walk chic raised £1,000 a t a recent event. Maureen Cooksons, of Whal-


ley, linked up with Michelin starred Northcote Manor, Lang- ho, to host the first-ever catwalk fashion show at the store. Customers who had travelled


from as far as Gloucester enjoyed lunch a t the hotel before they were transported by coach to the store to see some of the country’s top models showing off the latest designs. International labels including


Marc Caine, Tuzzi, Zaek, Sand and a variety of others were mod­ elled on the day. Proprietor Hilary Cookson,


said: “We have worked with Northcote for some time now as we share a commitment to bring the best of th e N o r th West together for our customers. “I t was absolutely fantastic. Everybody enjoyed themselves so


much.” The day raised £1,000 which


will be given to the neonatal intensive care unit, a t Queen’s Park Hospital, Blackburn. “This was th e f irs t time we


have held a fashion show a t the store and judging by the great success, we will be holding anoth­ er one next year,” added Hilary. Our picture shows guests and

Clitheroe and customers can be assured of a personal service with a smile from the manageress, Miss Shan Wringe,” added Mrs Ormerod. Exclusive glassware, including


Leonardo, LSA and Ritzenhoff.is sold at the shop at affordable prices, the majority under £20. “I t took us a month to set the


shop up and my husband did most of th e hard work. The interior retains many of its original features, including the stone flag and wooden flooring,” said Mrs Ormerod. “We pride ourselves on
