It's a good sense of restlessness, that maybe obstacles that have been holding you back are beginning to shift.

£2m. jobs boost for Bowland
AT least £2.2m. was spent on jobs and business creation in the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty from April 2002 to this June. This is the amount involved in
p ro je c ts us ing th e services of Clitheroe-based Lancashire Rural Futures. Other sums are certain to have
been invested by firms or individuals ■ working on their own. Much of the area is within the
Ribble Valley. But its total population is 16,000
and parts of it are covered by the Lancaster, Pendle, Wyre, Craven and Preston councils. Lancashire Rural Futures
obtained some £700,000 in grants from various sources to help econom
ic development. The private sector put in the other £1.5m. Nearly 60 firms diversified, 17 jobs
were created and 46 safeguarded, and there were also 10 new businesses and 16 new products. Lancashire Rural Futures is an
advisory service keen to help all rural businesses, whether they are in the area of outstanding natural beauty or not.

Slides portray ‘a paradise lost’
“A PARADISE lost” was how Joe Moran
described the changes that have occurred to the dramatic mountains of the Cairngorms in his lecture to Clitheroe Naturalists entitled “Once Upon a Time in the Highlands”. Caravans, ski-lifts and many footpaths have
driven many of the birds away. Mr Moran brought slides from the 1950s, before permits from the RSPB were required, making a unique record of the area. The Cairngorms can be divided into two
parts; the dramatic high mountain plateau, which has claimed many lives and is a danger ous place where the weather can change in a flash, and the ancient Scots pine forests lower down. In former days, the wolf, bear, lynx, beaver, wild boar and reindeer abounded. Now wild cats remain. On a climbing tour to explore the whole
area, Joe and his friends encountered the ptarmigan and searched unsuccessfully for the golden eagle in the vast corries high up. In the most precarious frost-shattered
crags, the ring ousel had its nest and hides were built in these risky places. Camping near a ruined bothy, the party
recovered a mountain rescue group from cer tain death in extremely cold, snowy weather in June and used their three weeks’ supply of wood in one night to thaw the men out. The freak storm washed away part of the forest and moved a footbridge five miles further downstream. Slides were taken of stags cross ing the river. In an interlude nearer home, hides were built high in the treetops to photo graph rooks and herons. One hide was struck by lightning three times. The slender herons, with razor sharp beaks, pierced a marauding
crow stealing eggs. The heron chicks were beautiful. Re turning to th e Highlands, the search for
the golden eagle and the black-throated diver continued, with slides of the Slavonian grebe on its floating nest. A hide was built near a tiny island housing the diver’s nest, moving nearer and nearer to the nest and finally slides were achieved of this beautifully patterned bird - abstract a r t in nature. All the slides from the Cairngorms and of Loch Maree, plus the birds, were memorable, and finally the last was of a golden eagle dominating a crag. Thanks were expressed by chairman Mr
Derek Oldham. At the recent annual meeting, Mr Bernard Warren was voted the new presi dent, Mr Oldham chairman and Mr Frank Mason vice-chairman, otherwise the commit tee remains the same. The next meeting at Clitheroe Library will
be on Thursday, October 30th, at 7-30 p.m., when Dr Brian Barnes’ subject will be “Plant Hunting in the Yorkshire Dales”.
Warning over use of contractors
FARMERS in the Ribble Valley have been warned about the importance of safety mea sures when using contractors. HSE agricultural inspector Peter Lennon
points out: "The way agriculture is these days it has become more convenient and cheaper to contract out a lot of activities that farmers used to do for themselves. Contractors who work in Lancashire now undertake activities ranging from pesticide spraying to minor con struction projects. "Giving the job to a contractor doesn't mean
you can just leave them to get on with it. The law says you have to take reasonable steps to ensure the health and safety of contractors while they are at work on your premises." These reasonable steps include ensuring that
the contractor is competent. Only use people who know what they are doing and can do the job safely, advises Mr Lennon. "The chap you met inthe pub may he cheap,
but will he do a good job and avoid causing an accident? For some jobs, e.g. pesticide spraying or using chainsaws, you should insist that con tractors have an up-to-date certificate of com petence. Use risk assessments - good contrac tors should have risk assessments for their work activities that you can ask for. You should have your own site risk assessment. “This should identify risks that contractors
should be made aware of. Such risks include the location of your livestock and the positioning of overhead power lines. Plan the work - the type of activity will determine the amount of planning. Working at height, on fragile roofs or in confined spaces (e.g. working inside a sealed grain silo) will need a safe system of work that should be drawn up and agreed in advance. “You will need to coordinate safely the work
of the contractor with the rest of the farm's activities. Supervise safety - try to get details of who will he on site and when. Keep an eye on the work to make sure that the contractors are doing what they said they were going to. As with most health and safety matters, a bit of applied common sense will go a long way to ensure that accidents are avoided.”
Coffee fund-raiser
A COFFEE morning organised by Clitheroe Lions Club raised £225 on Satur day. The event, held at the home of Mr and Mrs Allen and Dianne Hollingsworth, was well attended and also had a cake stall and bottle tombola. All the money raised will go to the Clitheroe Meteor Club. Lions presi dent Mr Arthur Micklewright thanked Mr and Mrs Hollingsworth for their hospitality and presented a bouquet of flowers.
