Dangerous road fears


IDANGERS of several kinds ■face users of Mitton Road, IWhalley, parish councillors Iheard. The pavement in one


Iplace is getting narrower and [narrower due to vegetation, Iresident Mr George Hard- Iman told the monthly meet- ling. Children were some- Itimes forced to walk in the road. “I have had a lot of com-


Iplaints about traffic speed- png on Mitton Road,” said


|Coun. Mrs Joyce Holgate. A previous meeting had


E I


eard that residents were oncerned about excessive lud on the road.' Construe-.,


by farm activity were seen as possible causes. Mr Hardman said that in


one place, near the tennis club, the pavement was so narrow that mothers wheel­ ing a pram sometimes had no choice but to allow any. child walking with them to |be in the road. “Some householders have


not trimmed their vegeta­ tion,” said Mr Hardman. “Lorries with mirrors at head height pass by - it wouldn’t take much for one to whack somebody.” Chairman Coun. Martin


Highton said the council would make inquiries with the people concerned. Coun. Mrs Holgate said she had already approached the police about speeding. The meeting heard that


Lancashire County Council had asked the contractors to use a wheel-washing plant. It did not believe the road nud problem was serious mough to warrant a formal lotice.

v AN egg-stra special experiment in first- .3 time parenthood was enjoyed by a class of girls at a Ribble Valley school. ■' After reading Anne Fines’ fictional tale,


“Flour,Babies’’;*in which a made-up-r school class has to care for six-pound bags !


of flour as if they were real children, the girls in Year 8 at Oakhill College; near Whalley, jdecided to experience mother- hood for themselves. ’ ‘ Their unusual offspring were created ’


from hard-boiled eggs. As well as being christened with suitable


names, the girls’ egg babies were given limbs, clothing and enjoyed accessories ranging from shoebox houses with bath­ rooms to sleeping bags made from socks.’ : . During the week-long exercise, a lack of


parenting skills led to several unfortunate accidents - one poor egg exploded after only a couple of days due to its mother’s over enthusiastic power of lovel Part of the experiment saw the new


mums keeping a daily diary, filled with bulletins relating to egg baby care and the outings some of them undertook with their offspring. . At the end of the task, the girls dis­


cussed what they had learnt from the experience,, all agreeing it must be “no yolk” to look after a real baby and run their own life. Pictured are, back row, from the left,


Katharina Theodoru, Bethany Alcock and Olivia Penny; front row, Daniela Har­ grave, Charlotte Keighley and Rebecca Catlow. (s)

possessing drug POLICE found cannabis when they stopped a car in.Clitheroe in which a Bolton woman was a passenger. Lynne Wendy Hardman (38),


of Bam wood Terrace, Halliwell, Bolton, was given a conditional discharge for 12 months by Blackburn magistrates and ordered to pay £55 costs after admitting possessing the drug. The court heard that Hard­


man was a passenger in a car stopped in Shawbridge Street, Clitheroe, and when told by police she was being arrested for; possessing two small pieces of the drug, she replied: “You must be joking.” Mr Basharat Ditta (defend­


ing) said his client now knew the officer was not joking.


Thieves strike


STONE thieves have been busy again in the Read area. Two ornamental stone balls


were taken from gate posts in front of a home in the village in the early hours of the morning one day last week. A neighbour heard what is thought to have been the noise of the thieves at work with chisels, but did not report it at the time. Some more stone was stolen from Read at the weekend.


§K p frS j t f i;


POLICE were called to the village school at Slaidbum - but everything was in order, it was purely a educational visit. PC Mick Tribley and PC Debbie Owen took along two


police horses, Sawley and Monty, to the great delight of both staff and pupils.


; * The visit was arranged by local policeman PC Ian Dick­ inson.


- The picture shows Mounted Branch policeman PC Mick


Tribley with Brennands Endowed School pupils Michael Roberts and Edward Waddington.. PC Tribley gave an informative talk and answered ques­ tions from the children.


......


■ He showed samples of what the horses eat and told pupils that the younger horses are all named after Lan­ cashire towns and villages. The children were given a demonstration of how well-


trained the police horses were. They were asked to shout out loudly at one point in order to demonstrate that the horses have been trained not to react to sudden noise. , The visit ended with children being allowed to touch the


horses, as shown in the picture. PC Trilbey gave the. pupils a picture to colour during half-term holidays.

ly grateful to the officers,” said headteacher Mrs Barbara Milne-Redhead. (s)


Customers dig deep for a


good cause CUSTOMERS at a Clitheroe supermarket dug deep into their pockets last week to ease a transport problem. . Members of the Rotary


Club of Ribblesdale held a fund-raising collection at Tesco and raised £936.33, most of which will go towards the cost of acquiring and run­ ning two community buses for the Dial-a-Ride service. The service provides trans­ port for Ribble Valley resi­ dents to v is i t patients in Blackburn hospitals. V Members of the Rotary


Club expressed their thanks to members of the public who contributed. For more information


about the Dial-a-Ride scheme, telephone 01200 444484.
