THOUGHT for the week


H IS summer has seen many opportunities for sitting in the garden, in


the park, or on the riverbank. MOMENTS like this are pre­


cious - they can give us time to appreciate, be in touch; allow us to notice the sounds and sights which surround us. Such MOMENTS can also


enable us to he in touch with our- . selves and enjoy the harmony and mystery of God’s love. ■ People of God have always seen


nature as a sign pointing us to the unfailing energy and presence of the Creator and the anointing Spirit of life. I t is not difficult to turn time­


less MOMENTS into prayer and a personal appreciation of Jesus,


- M y


who once shared this life with us. Therefore, I would invite you to


use your imagination for a moment and picture yourself , standing by the side of a lake with a crowd of friends who are eagerly watching a man standing in a boat moored in the shallow water. He has built quite a reputation


for himself as a teacher, and heal­ er. We look a t Him. We wonder what He will say to us: then we wait as He looks over our heads at the fields behind, ready for Har­ vesting. Then He speaks.... "Lis­ ten! Once there was a man who went out to sow com. “As he scattered the seed in the


field, some of i t fell along the. path, and the birds came and ate it up.


. .. . ..v “Some of i t fell on. rocky


ground, where there was little soii. The seeds soon sprouted,


because the soil was not deep. Then, when the sun came up, it


b u rn t th e young plants; and because the roots had not grown deep enough, th e plants soon


. dried up. . “Some of the seed fell among


thorn bushes, which grew up and choked the plants, and they did not produce any com. But some seeds fell in good soil, and the plants sprouted, grew, and pro­ duced corn: some had 30 grains, others 60, and others 100." . - ■Attentive MOMENTS can be so helpful -LISTEN!

Our schools can be truly proud of success


as the large CRGS sixth form unit and its ' smaller, international and intellectually- rigorous Stonyhurst College counterpart. As reported in the Advertiser and


N


Times, the grammar school had 282 leavers this summer. They went to a wide variety of higher


education venues, including Oxford and Cambridge as well as many younger foundations; only Eton College sends anything like the same number. At Stonyhurst College, 75 hoys and


girls said their farewells - about a dozen, including several from local families, bound for Oxbridge, with Oxford in the majority.


OT many boroughs similar to the Ribble Valley has two launching pads for university entrance such' •


i For good reason, another dozen did


not take up places they had been offered atryounger, hut still long-established, universities; instead, they have elected to take a gap year and go through the Oxbridge selection process again. "These pupils attained A-level results


significantly better than predicted when they were offered places elsewhere and have the opportunity to take a gap year. So it is worthwhile for them to reapply to Oxford or Cambridge for autumn 2004 admission, perhaps putting in fur­ ther study in the meantime," says col­ lege admissions and marketing manag­ er Mr Jonathan Hewat. "The 10% already achieved is a


remarkable figure in itself. “We were very pleased that the A-lev-


els had a 70% A and B grades pass rate." The degree of intellectual rigour fos­


tered at Stonyhurst, with a concentra­ tion on core subjects, is reflected in the fact that 40% of pupils took A-levels in maths and science subjects and 15% in languages or classics. The leavers included five potential


doctors, several mathematicians, accountants or actuaries and numerous future management experts. Biology, psychology, history and clas­


sics are also represented in Stonyhurst leavers’ degree choices but only one has opted for law (and one for Japanese) and only a few for English; philosophy has three adherents. One girl is taking a four-year course in illustration and a


In touch with the stars, but feet on the ground!


by Tim Procter


MORE and more young people want to enter the media world - the Valley’s Louise Hulland has got her feet on the ladder. Her Radio 1 job sends her on


Press calls, opening nights and sometimes one-to-one interviews with entertainment stars such as Sean Connery, Kylie Minogue, Nigel Havers and Liberty-X! Just a decade after first coming


to the Advertiser and Times on work experience, Louise (24), pic­ tured, has proved that effort and commitment pay dividends. She is in the type of job which


has led to greater things for many people, working behind the scenes as an entertainment researcher on Radio l ’s “Newsbeat.” But the job also involves taping-interviews with world-class stars. Louise, who comes from Read


but now lives in Islington, is also getting a quite different kind of basic broadcasting experience by doing weekend traffic and travel reports. She is on the air every seven minutes, covering much of. south east England.- Many young people who come


C ffigSgiT


to this newspaper for work experi­ ence realise the job is not for them and are never seen or heard from again. But Louise’s week hack in 1993


when she was in the Clitheroe Royal Grammar School third form, and a fan of TV’s “Press Gang” with Julia Sawalha, whetted her appetite. She returned year after year in her holiday time, graduat­ ing to writing reports on school, entertainment and young people’s subjects. Good A-levels took Louise to St


Chad’s College, Durham Universi­ ty. Her school RE teacher, Mr Chris Hall, had fired Louise’s imagination about the academic rather than personal testimony side of theology. Unusually for a would-be journalist, this was her degree choice. “People are totally amazed at this and I recall one or two of you

at the Advertiser and Times were a bit surprised,” recalls Louise. “At job interviews, people think


i t is an error on my CV. But the end result, when they realise it is for real, is that I am taken serious­ ly - more seriously, perhaps, than people with degrees in what you might call conventional subjects are taken. “I did not choose theology for


that reason, I chose it because it appealed to me and I had benefited from an inspirational teacher. “Theology helps you understand


people’s motivation and the good and bad things about the world. I believe the degree, and of course the experience of mixing with a wide variety of people at Durham, has helped to some extent in my career so far.” ’ But Louise’s present job clearly


illustrates the need for would-be journalists to have a wide general knowledge. I t relies heavily on her familiarity with the show business world, personalities, celebrities and, of course, music. If she does not know something, she needs to know how to find out, very quickly on occasion. . “The other week Sean Connery’s


first premiere for years took me to Leicester Square. I was nervous and thought I was was going to dry up, but he soon put everyone at ease. Kylie Minogue was brilliant with the group of reporters I was with, hut just giggled when I asked if the underwear range she was launching was influenced by her French boyfriend. I t was almost surreal seeing someone in the flesh after I had been a fan of hers since I was a t school. I knew she was small, hut I did not realise she was tiny.” Meeting Matthew Perry, Chan­


dler in “Friends”, was a wonderful experience for Louise, as she is a great fan of him and of the series. Nigel Havers, Ardal O’Hanlon and Patsy Kensit gave Louise a person­ al, three-to-one 10- minute inter­ view about their h it play. “Although I had a list of questions, these very experienced profession­ als soon set the pace with quality,


boy physics, astrophysics and cosmolo­ gy-


Only three of the 75 are studying


abroad, reflecting the fact that overseas pupils often return for further education in their own countries after GCSEs. Although the college is increasing its


intern atio n al profile, especially in America, it is taking in a higher propor­ tion of pupils from the local area than ever before. Clearly, no one must forget th a t


pupils of less prominent, leave-at-16 schools can and do get to university in large numbers and indeed this applies to some of the CRGS sixth-formers, who join for A-leveis from a variety of high or in some cases private schools.


r i i l w l i i i i f i 100 years ago


LETTERS were sent out by Liberal candidates, who, confident after their victory the previous year, appealed to the public regarding the forthcoming Municipal Elections for the Borough of Clitheroe. The Liberals had fielded their names in good time, though the Conservative Party had not finally decided on four candidates. ■ The annual October horse and sheep fair was held


and as usual the weather was had. The attendance of farmers and horse dealers was abnormally large and the rain did not seem to stem their bargaining propen­ sities. More than once in the day Market Place and Castle Street were a perfect hubbub with the din of trotting horses, the bleating of sheep, the lowing of cattle, the hoarse cries of the cattle drovers and the oft repeated cry of the farmer: “I ’ll not tek a half penny less.” ■ The Schools Attendance Officer submitted his


report stating that the previous month’s attendance was 93% for adult and 91 % for infant scholars, which Coun. Weeks said was very, very good.

about his language in the play and he admitted he had received letters of complaint. However, much of Louise’s work


newsy points and Radio 2 was given the material as well as Radio 1.” Louise scolded the leading man


A SPEAKER at a Rotary Club charter dinner declared: “The main development today must contin­ ue to be the closer and ever closer understanding between the USA and ourselves, not as dictators of policy by either country, but as equal partners in a cru­ sade for further peace.” He said that too often in postwar years US diplo­


is at a desk, arranging schedules and assignments and keeping alert for breaking news. “People aspiring to media work should know that get­ ting a job is often on the back of working for free, working unsociable hours and spending hours’ swotting up to keep up to date. A lot of the people at the top, almost every one, have done that.” Louise’s work experience a t the


Advertiser was followed by stints at bigger places, such as The Journal, Newcastle, Sky’s film programme, and ITN. A job a t Radio Lan­ cashire launched her on to the air waves, working with people such as Graham Liver and Jim Bowen. “I loved i t there - local radio is so important,” says Louise. Her future career path cannot be


marked out, in the nature of things. “I t’s a case of working hard, getting everything right and being ready for anything th a t comes up,” says Louise. “I don’t know who I will be inter­


viewing next week, but there is no harm in hoping it will he George Clooney!”


(C171003/2) Rebecca makes


the right moves A YOUNG Clitheroe dancer made all.the right moves while on holiday a t Pontin’s Southport centre. Rebecca Chadwick (10), of


Ennerdale Close, Clitheroe ended up as the winner of the weekly "Freestyle Dance"


.competition.,. Rebecca has already

mats had ignored the advice of and failed to profit by the centuries of Britain’s experience in the field of diplomacy. He added that the USA, while appreciated for her generous assistance, forgot the huge sacrifice made by Britain during its lone stand in 1940 and 1941 to enable the USA and other countries to retain their freedom. ■ Plans to build houses on a Whalley site were con­


demned by nearby residents who petitioned that the land, between Woodlands Drive and Manor Road, was low-lying and waterlogged. ■ Rapid progress was being made to supply 46 resi­


dents of Slaidbum and Holden with electricity in their remote homes.


25 years ago


WORK began on the first phase of an ambitious plan to modernise Atkinson’s Engineering Works in Clitheroe. I t was planned to completely rebuild the factory over the following 10 years. ■ Incensed Rihhle Valley councillors defended their


Riverside housing scheme at Low Moor after criticism from several sources including one letter from a Cana­ dian visitor who described the estate as “a barracks suitable perhaps for Belsen, Auschwitz or Dachau.” One councillor suggested that perhaps they do not


have such good taste in Canada. He said that many people from Lancashire had told him it was a very good scheme, adding: “Personally I am very happy with it and the half rent half purchase reduces the financial burden on owners.” ■ Dalesrail specials were such a success during that


summer that another disused Ribble Valley Railway station was to be brought hack to life. Stations at Whalley, Wilpshire and Langho were being considered.


A day in the life of a centre of learning!


AN insight into a typical school day is being offered by St James’ CE Primary Schoof, in Clitheroe. I t is holding an open day


for parents of pupils and potential pupils a t the school in Greenacre Street. They can join “official” school tours throughout the


., day or just wander around : as they please to see how the school works. ■To all intents and purpos-'


: es, i t will be a “normal” school day apart from the *. visitors. who can sit in o n :


any of the lessons. They will also receive a welcome pack, detailing all the activities taking place in each class­ room throughout the day. S t James’ open day is


planned for Tuesday, November 4th, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Anyone who wants to


vis it the school should apply to the headteacher, Mr Paul Adnitt, for a one- day pass. Either call in person at


the school, or phone on 01200423599.


Mayor’s appeal for Poppy Day support


THE Mayor of the Ribble Valley, Coun. Alan Year- ing, is uiging everyone to do their bit to support this year’s Poppy Appeal. In a message to every citizen of the. borough, he


said: “I would like to take this opportunity to ask you all to remember the importance of the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal and give generously to their cause.’ s “At a time when the prospect of peace in the world


seems very small and once again our servicemen and women are overseas involved in various conflicts, we must not forget those who have made sacrifices in the past and to whom we owe our freedom. “This year we should particularly remember those


who are involved in the Iraq conflict and have special thoughts for their families. . ■


the borough and poppies are for sale in many local shops and places of work. Please give your support.”
