Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, September 2nd, 2004 Cub scouts go


under canvas ELEVEN Cub Scouts from St Paul’s Clitheroe Pack spent August Bank Holiday Weekend under canvas at Bowley Scout Camp. This pack’s restart featured in


the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times in June last year. The Scouts of the St Paul’s Group (along with Sarah Bleasdale, of the district’s Young Leaders) were showing the Cubs how to put the ‘out’ back into Scouting! The Cubs learned archery,


expertise at camping and climb­ ing with the Cubs, as well as


target shooting and climbing skills. They enjoyed a campfire circle with all the other visitors to Bowley Camp. The weekend was spent living in a muddy field and the Cubs enjoyed spot­ ting rabbits, toads, frogs and shrews. The Scouts shared their own

MACMILLAN physiotherapist Liz Hassey is asking people to take part in the cancer charity’s local event, the September Stroll, around Downham on Simday. The sponsored walk will raise money


to help fund Liz’s vital role in the local community.


As the Macmillan physiotherapist at


Pendleside Hospice, Liz helps to increase people's muscle function and increase mobility that has been lost as a result of cancer or its treatment.


This means spending time with patients,


building up their strength through a range of exercises and giving them the indepen­ dence to move about on their own. "It's a great feeling when you see one of

ity is one of them. So when people over­ come this hurdle, they are one step closer


to getting back to living a normal life again.” Being able to move around without any


restrictions is something that all of us take for grantod, so Liz is asking p6oplG all ovor East Lancashire to celebrate their inde­


pendence by taking part in the September Stroll. It is a three-mile walk starting from the


beautiful village of Downham, and all the money raised will go to the East Lan­


cashire Appeal, which is funding Liz's post lor the next three years. “This is a great event to really under­


stand what the money people raise will be helping to achieve,” said event organiser


Elvira Soria, who runs the East Lan­ cashire Appeal. To ren te r for the event and help more people living with cancer in East Lan­


cashire, call Elvira on 01706 224454 Reg­ istration costs £3.50.

CLITHEROE’S F irs t Responders - trained volunteers whose early treatment of heart attack victims can save lives - have said a big “thank you” to generous Tesco customers and staff who donated more than £1,000. This money, raised during a recent char­


ity promotion at the Tesco store, will now be used to purchase vital equipment for the Clitheroe First Responders group. Throughout the fund-raising event. First


Responders were on hand to raise aware­ ness and fimds for the countywide Heart of Lancashire appeal. I t aims to reduce the number of deaths in Lancashire resulting from heart attacks and other life-threaten­


ing emergencies. The appeal, working alongside Lan­


cashire Ambulance Service, trains volun­ teer First Responders to assist local resi­ dents in "heart-related" emergencies prior to the arrival of the ambulance. Specifically, volunteers are trained to


carry out basic life support, including the use of an automated external defibrillator


for patients suffering a cardiac arrest, and to provide reassurance to the patient and relatives. The team in Clitheroe is always in need


of new members to maintain this valuable community service. If you are over 18, have access to a car and are able to give a few hours of your time a week, you could become a Community First Responder. The next training course begins at 7 p.m. on Monday, September 6th, at the Conser­ vative Club, Castle Street, Clitheroe. For more information about Clitheroe


First Responders and to reserve your place on the free training course, call Terry on 01200 425325 or Peter on 01200 427671. There are now 22 Community Firs t


Responder schemes in operation covering 120 villages and small towns across Lan­ cashire. They respond to approximately 150 calls a month. Pictured are members of the Clitheroe


First Responders with Tesco staff at the Clitheroe store, where more than £1,000 was raised for the charity appeal, (s)

Soccer stars all kitted out


by Duncan Smith


YOUNG footballers in Whalley are kitted out for success, thanks to a grant from the Lancashire Partnership Against Crime. The £250 grant has gone to Whalley


Juniors Under-lOs squad, which is man­ aged by Whalley’s Police Community Sup­ port Officer, Jason Taylor. His bid for LANPAC funding outlined


the lack of resources and facilities for young people in nual Whalley and the pos­ itive moves being made to engage its young people in community activities. P e s o Taylor took over as manager of


the under-lOs earlier this year and has been delighted at the youngsters’ progress and enthusiasm. The grant has been spent wisely, with


the very best price obtained from a local supplier, D.J. P r a t t ’s Sports Store, in Blackburn. It has bought two full sets of training bibs, a set of marker cones, six slalom training posts and 15 footballs. All the new kit will be used primarily by


the under-lOs, but also by other Whalley Juniors teams to ensure the club gets the maximum benefit. Pictured is the delighted under-lOs


squad with their manager, PCSO Taylor, and some of the kit bought using the LAN­ PAC grant, (s)


Tractor found 70 miles away


A TRACTOR stolen from a Ribble Valley farm was driven 70 miles through the night into North Yorkshire, where the thief escaped on foot as police gave chase. The large tractor, a blue Ford 7810, vvas


stolen from Smithies Bridge Farm, on the A59 a t the foot of Sawley Brow, some time after 1 a.m. on Monday, August 23rd. I t was apparently driven across a stream and through fields before joining theA59. At 6-15 the same morning, a milkman


on his round near Northallerton, became suspicious when he saw a tractor being driven off the road and into woods. He called the police, but when officers arrived the thief abandoned the tractor.


valued at £9,000, and made off on foot. Insp. Bob Ford, of Clitheroe Police,


said it was hard to believe that someone would steal the tractor, with a top speed of about 20 m.p.h., and drive it 70 miles into North Yorkshire through the early hours. Even so, he added it was the lastest in a string of incidents in which valuable equipment had been stolen from farms in the area. He warned farmers and anyone living in isolated locations to be on their guard and take all possible precautions. Anyone with information about the


theft of the tractor should call Clitheroe police on 01200 443344 or the free and confidential Crimestoppers line on 0800 555111.
