GLAMOUROUS local models made quite an entrance emerging through dry ice when they took to the catwalk to raise money for two charities. Seasons, of Clitheroe, joined


forces with Pure Health and Beau­ ty, also of Clitheroe, to present the latest fashion and beauty acces­ sories to more than 300 people at the Mytton Fold Hotel, Langho. Funky fashion followers were in


for a real treat as the night pre­ sented several themes, including winter wonderland, monochrome madness and posh punks. The first was posh punks and


guests were fascinated by dry clouds surrounding the stage. Commenting on the evening,


owner of Seasons Mrs Jean Parker said: “The show was a complete sell-out. We even had a waiting list. “Everybody enjoyed themselves


and the event itself accommodat­ ed all ages and tastes.” Guests at the occasion were fas­


cinated by the models' hair styles, courtesy of George and Grade hair salon in Clitheroe. High-fashion labels, including Miss Sixty, Bench, Betty Barclay,


Verse and Gold by Michael H were modelled on the night. Co-organiser Mrs Gail Bailey


said: “People had a great time and. we have had positive feedback since about the night.” Numerous trade stands were


set-up in the bar area and two health and beauty demonstrations were staged by Mrs Bailey. A tota l of £1,600 was raised


which will benefit the cystic fibro­ sis charity and Holly House chari­ ty (for children with special needs) in Blackburn. Both organisers expressed their


thanks to Trade Carpets, Clitheroe; Trinity Community Partnership; Signtec in Clitheroe; Waterloo Timber Company; and Shackletons Garden Centre in Chatburn for sponsoring the event. Thanks were also expressed to


local schools who supplied boxes for the catwalk. Our picture shows Mrs Jean


Parker with daughter Nikki Hutchinson (centre), and models at the event. (JD201003/m) • A picture special will appear

Factory worker died from an industrial disease

^


Ibbitson (56) worked at Mullards' between 1979 and 1983, when his duties included placing asbestos packs on to a conveyor belt. Particles of the killer substance


got into his lungs despite the presence of an extraction system and the wearing of masks. Mrs Ann Ibbitson, of Monk


Street, Clitheroe, told the inquest that her husband had served an apprenticeship as a maintenance fitter at Huncoat Pit before mov­ ing to Hapton Pit. He was in the Merchant Navy


as a ship’s engineer before work­ ing at Mullards.


He also worked at Readymix


Concrete in Padiham and had worked as a self-employed win­ dow cleaner in Whalley until


An inquest heard th a t Ian:;.

maintenance fitter with Hickey’s of Chatbum. A post-mortem report had


shown that a tumour, diagnosed in December 2001, had complete­ ly encased Mr Ibbitson’s right lung and extended into his left lung and heart by the time of his death in July. The medical cause of death


was given as bronchopneumonia as a result of a malignant mesothelioma, and deputy coro­ ner Carolyn Singleton recorded a verdict of death from an industri­ al related disease.

A PUBLIC review of its environ­ mental performance has been published by Castle Cement and forecasts the closure of one of the


Ribblesdale kilns. T h e company’s S u s ta in a b i l i ty


Review contains reports on cement provision, fuels and raw materials, emission reduction, climate protec­ tio n , local im pacts and employee health and safety. The reports cover all three Castle


Cement production sites; Ketton in Rutland, Padeswood in Flintshire and the local Ribblesdale works. This is the third formal review pro­


duced by the company and states that Castle Cement was th e first in the industry to produce a report of this kind. I t stressed that it has demonstrat­ ed continued progress in balancing envi­ ronmental awareness with its contribu­ tion to the built environment. Although not mentioned in all


aspects of the review, the Ribblesdale works is reported as reducing emissions of oxides of nitrogen, attributed to an increased use of alternative fuels such as


Models set the catwalks 1 ’s kilns


Cemfuel. Use of the gas scrubber and a change in raw materials has reduced sul­ phur dioxide emissions. The works will be using tyre chips as fuel on a regular basis by the end of 2003. Emissions of gases, dioxins and heavy


metals such as cadmium and chromium are also detailed, showing the reduc­ tions forecast for 2005. The flora and fauna at the local oper­


ating quarry is the subject of a research programme commissioned by the com­ pany and has led to the statement that wildlife found a t the quarry is even more diverse than that to be found at some nature reserves. These include


nesting peregrine falcons and ravens, 80 other species of birds and a variety of flowers such as bee orchids. Cement kiln dust produced at Rib­


blesdale has been used to stabilise and create fertile soil on spoil heaps at Sil- verwood Colliery, Yorkshire. Biodiversity action plans will be


implemented by 2005 and fur ther reductions in emissions are planned through the construction of a new kiln at Padeswood. This is programmed to be operational in the first quarter of 2005, with the subsequent closure of old kilns both there and at Ribblesdale later that year.
