Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, September 9th, 2004 7 6 Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, September 9th, 2004 Fred aims to with young Liberia FC by Andrew Grieves


A FOOTBALL sco u t from Simonstone is to fly to Liberia la te r this month to help coach


former child soldiers. Mr Fred Uttley, a Burnley FC


scout and manager a t Readstone - United Football Club, is going to Africa with the Catholic aid agency CAFOD, which he has supported for a number of years. Following the end of the 14-year


civil war in Liberia last year, Fred responded quickly to the plight of thousands of child soldiers by rais­ ing money for CAFOD's appeal and organising a collection of old foot- - ball kits to send to the youngsters. Now Mr Uttley is accompanying


CAFOD workers on a visit to Liberia to meet the children he has


helped. He said: "When I saw what was


happening in Liberia last year I was shocked by the images and stories of children, some as young as eight years old, who had been kidnapped and forced to fight for the various armies. "Like the kids up here, Liberian


kids are passionate about football and closely follow UK teams. “I decided that as well as helping


to raise money, one of the most pos­ itive ways of supporting the Liberi­


an youth was through football. "Hundreds of kits arrived in


Liberia earlier this year and I ’m really looking forward to haying a bit of a kick about with the kids who received them. “It'll be interesting to see how


they’re getting on, how football is helping them recover from their hor­ rific ordeal and giving them some hope for the future. Who knows, I may spot the next George Weah!" Mr Uttley, who lives in Simon-


stone Lane, will play football with the Don Bosco Homes teams and join in an inter-hostel football tourr nament. He will then visit a reception cen­


tre for homeless s tre e t children where he will run an informal foot­ ball training session. He added: "The demobilisation


programme uses football as a way of alleviating depression and increas­ ing feelings of self-worth. “Many turn up a t the shelters


with little more than the clothes they stand up in. Wearing the pro­ fessional English strips gives them an immense sense of pride." Mr Uttley, along with his friend,


Mr John Cowell, recently raised more than £3,200 for CAFOD's Brazilian street children appeal hy completing a section of the medieval road to Santiago pilgrim­ age.

Fascinating talk leaves members spellbound


FOR some in the audience the subject of the ta lk given by Probus member Jim Parker was to renew an acquaintance while for others it was a revelation. The subject was Richard


Tauber, in his day one of the most famous tenors in


the world. Accompanied by illus­


trations taken from vinyl records, cassettes and CDs, some of them copied from recordings from the early part of the century, Tauber’s voice was superbly demonstrated. Bom in Austria in 1891


he developed a charismatic personality and overcame terrible arthritis which developed in his early thir­


ties. With clothing specially


made to conceal a crippled leg and hand he carried off many of the major tenor roles and recitals in the period to his death in 1947. Such was his fame in the


1930s that, when the Cup Final crowd saw him in the royal box they kept chant­ ing “Tau-ber, Tau-ber, Tau-ber’’, until he came down and sang for them; then the game could start. Such is his fame now


that to this day someone regularly puts fresh flowers on his grave in Brompton Cemetary. And such were the emo­


tions felt by the Probus audience that even scratchy old acoustic recordings received a round of applause. A memorable talk, to


which member Tom Duff proposed a well deserved vote of thanks. The next meeting is at


the Pendle Club, Lower- gate, at the start time of 11 a.m. on Friday, September 17th, when the Rev. Ken Clapham will give a talk entitled: "Space Travel". Inquiries to the secre­ tary: 01200 429207

Denise shows off magical


by Vivien Meath


SPORTS p h y s io th e ra p is t Denise P a rk h a s become th e toast of athletes from this conn-


/


try and abroad. The Bolton-by-Bowland mother-


of-two returned home on Bank Hol­ iday Monday from the World Mas­ ters Mountain Running Champi­ onship where she was official physio


to the English team. Three days later she returned to


Sauze d’Oulx in the Italian Alps accompanying the English junior team before she moves on to Athens for the Para Olympics. Mrs Park, whose business is


based in Peel Street, Clitheroe, thor­ oughly enjoyed her initial trip out to Italy where she accompanied 20 athletes, several who are already


"clients". Toast of the team in the World


Masters was former Ribblesdale LaLy, nee Hurst, who dominated


gg g^ ^gg group,


being almost five minutes clear of her nearest rival in the uphill race which climbed 2,500 feet in over five


miles. Mrs Laney ran for England m the


V ' \J


late 1980s, but then raised a family before returning to the England team. This season she has won the over- 50s class in three English Fell Championship races and, with just one remaining, is expected to take


the national title. Also competing were Clayton-le-


Moors Harrier team mates Wendy Dodds, Colin Urmston, Billington's Garry Wilkinson, Mark Aspinall and Ian Greenwood. There were no Ribble Valley com­


petitors in the junior championships at the weekend, but photographer and fell runner Peter Hartley, who sent pictures back to the Advertiser and Times this week, added: "Denise is well thought of by many of the athletes here, not just the English runners. To see her doing acupuncture to an injured athlete on a makeshift couch (sun lounger) outside immediately after a race is


quite a sight!" Former Calderstones employee


Mark Brown, who is shortly to move to Gisburn, will be carrying the hopes of the nation in the 5,000 metres in the Athens Para


Olympics. He flew out to Gibraltar this


w h e r e he is due to compete on p i , September 27th.
