t. Marathon success
in Venice adventure WHALLEY resident Mr Andrew Ronnan recently completed the Venice Marathon in four hours and 50 minutes. The event was very well organised
with runners being taken by coach to the mainland village of Stra and then running back to Venice. Mr Ronnan commented: “The final
eight kilometres were particularly interesting, with competitors running over the four kilometre Liberty Bridge, connecting the city of Venice with the mainland, then around the western edge and over 13 bridges, past St Mark’s Square to finish fur ther alongside the lagoon at Arenaz.” Mr Ronnan will be running the
London Marathon next year and rates Venice as good as Monaco and Stockholm for both organisation and scenery. He is pictured with his medal after completing the Venice Marathon, (s)

AS A new Government advertising campaign show ing the dangers of-not wear ing seatbelts hits cinemas across the county this month, new research shows that one in five car passen gers in Lancashire is still
refusing to belt up. The survey, carried out by
the Lancashire Partnership for Road Safety, shows that while most people wear seat belts in the front of the car, many (21%),do not bother when travelling in the back, risking their own life and those of the other passengers. The results showed that those
taking the initiative and trying to ensure that passengers in their vehicle are wearing seat belts before setting off. Of those who do not, most feel
who can drive are more likely to be aware of the dangers and wear seat belts when travelling in the back of a car. Most drivers (83%) are also
it is up to the passenger to' decide, even though they are putting the driver’s life at risk too, and others just would not think about asking a passenger to put a seat belt on. There is, unfortunately, still a
persistent minority (6%) who refuse to wear seat belts in the front of a car. Road Policing Chief Insp. Val
Prince said: “I find it really dif ficult to believe that in this day and age a large number of people are still refusing to wear their seatbelts. “Thousands of lives have been
saved since it became compulso ry for people to wear seat belts over 20 years ago and yet irre sponsible members of the public are continuing to endanger their own lives and, even worse, the lives of their fellow passengers.” The disturbing advertisement,
part of a new “Think!” road safety campaign, paints a graph ic picture of the difference a seat- belt can make by cleverly show ing two possible outcomes of a crash, one with and one without seatbelts. An interactive on-line crash
simulator has also been devel oped which demonstrates and' describes the type of injuries that can occur in crashes of vari ous speeds to show the impor tance of wearing a seatbelt. Those wanting to test it out should visit
www.thinkseat-
belts.com. ! Linda Sanderson from the Lancashire Partnership for Road Safety said: “Unbelted back seat passengers are not only putting their own lives at risk, but also others in the car. “More than a quarter of peo
ple don’t realise that if they don’t wear a seat belt in the back of a car they can injure the dri ver or front seat passenger in a crash and more than half are unaware they can injure other back seat passengers.”
. In a crash at 30 m.p.h., a back seat passenger without a seat belt is thrown forward with the force of three-and-a-half tonnes (based on the weight of an aver age adult). ’ This is between 30 and 60
times your own body weight or the equivalent of being hit by an elephant.

Talented local artist takes top city award
A LOCAL craftswoman has designed her way to success after earning a top award at a presti gious event. • Mrs Jane Ann Brown from Chatburn, was presented with the British Interior Design Asso ciation (BIDA) award, for her top cutting-edge creations. Out of 4,000 graduate
entrants, 10 designers were cho sen to submit their state-of-the- art work at the New Designers Showcase 2003, Urban Interiors, London, which took place recently. From the 10 unique creations
submitted, Mrs Brown’s three- dimensional designed vessels made out of acrylic with incor porated dyed PVC tubes won the top outstanding award. Commenting on the occasion,
mother-of-four, Mrs Brown said: “The exhibition was absolutely fantastic and I am very pleased to have won this award - in fact I am still on a high at the moment! “I was delighted to meet Mr
Ercole Moroni, owner of McQueen’s flowershop in Lon don, who loved the shape of the design” Star of the television show “Real Lives” and florist to the
celebrities, Mr Moroni said: “The vessels had a beautiful shape with brilliant colours to hold the flowers.” However, this was just the
start of demonstrations for the talented inventor, as the vessels were on display at King Street West Car Park in Manchester. The exhibition, called “Pay
and Display” coincided with the city centre’s Christmas lights being switched. People were able to view the
award-winning vessels and order them in time for Christmas Mrs Brown is now working on
her latest and extraordinary invention of screens and wall hangings made out of perspex and plant materials. She has been invited to present
her work for Designer Crafts in January next year at the Mall Galleries, in London. “I would like to thank New Designers arid Deborah Spencer for showcasing my vessels at the prestigious Urban Interiors event,” she added. Mrs Brown is pictured with
Mr Moroni standing in front of the award-winning design at the exhibition, (s)
