FLOODS wreaked havoc in the Ribhle Valley this week as heavy rain and storms led to the River Ribble bursting its'banks. The roads between Chatburn and, Grindleton were impassable to pedestrians, who had to be conveyed across in vehicle and the village of Sawley was completely swaniped. In many instances, farmers battled to rescue their stock as a number of sheep and a horse drowned. The horse, belonging to Mr Henry Tattersall, drowned in the flooded road near Sawley, Bridge. „ . ' ■ Civic dignitaries and guests gathered for the


annual “Mayor Making” ceremony, otherwise known as “Mayor’s Day” at Clitheroe Town Council, where Coun. Whipp was elected as first citizen for the borough. Fellow councillors praised the efforts of retiring Mayor, Coun. Hardacre, for his outstanding contribution towards the commu­ nity over the past two years. Coun; Mitchell pro­ posed Coun. Whipp’s name for the new Mayor and stated that he was a man with a good repu­ tation and belonged to a firm, which had built up one of the mpst important businesses in Lan­ cashire.


LOOKING BACK 50 years ago


RAIN marred many outdoor events during 1954, however it failed to dampen the spirits of crowds of people who turned out to support the town’s annual bonfire. Once again it went off ivith a big bang with rockets lighting up the night sky over Clitheroe and the surrounding villages and other fireworks exploding on the sodden ground around the bonfires. From the point of view of accidents, it was one of the quietest and most peaceful bon­ fire nights for many years. The only minor casu­ alties reported were those of a girl and a boy, who suffered bums at the back of their right legs when a firework exploded. Both were taken to a nearby doctor’s surgery. ■ Cinemascope made its debut in Clitheroe at


the King Lane cinema this week. The latest three- dimensional technology gave film fanatics the opportunity to see the classic flick “King of the Khyber Rifles” in colour, on a wide screen, for six days! The film featured a stirring tale of intrigue and revolt on the north west frontier of India 100 years ago and was a must for 1954. Meanwhile, the Grand Cinema, in York Street, struggled to compete by showing “Because you’re mine”.

THERE was a big turnout in towns and villages throughout the Ribble Valley on Sunday to pay homage to the area’s war dead. The service in Clitheroe was held a t Trinity Methodist, as Clitheroe Parish Church was out of action and the parish hall had limited seating. The Mayor and Mayoress of Clitheroe, Coun. and Mrs Bob Ainsworth, .were accompanied on a procession through the town centre by all members of the town council. There was also a very good turnout of uniformed and town organisations, war veter­ ans and schools. 'Wreaths were laid and a cross of poppies was carried to the church memorial by veterans of the last war, Mr Verdun Allen and Mr John Cheetham. Similar services were held in all the different villages. ■ The Duchess of Kent was unable to come to


Clitheroe to open the new £lm. Ribble Valley council offices next year - it was announced. Chief executive Mr Michael Jackson told councillors that the duchess had been unable to accept an invitation by the Policy and Resources Commit­ tee because of her busy schedule. The announce­ ment left a lot of civic dignitaries disappointed.


THOUGHT -LitJol wu iorg6i for the week T


h is week we remem­ ber the human sacri­ fice and chaos that is caused in so many people’s


lives when evil and selfish­ ness are let loose. , F irs tly we think of, the Great War and then the war of 1939 and now the carnage th a t is being wreaked in places like Iraq today. There will be a service in


St Mary’s this Sunday, as there is in our churches every year. We remember that Jesus Christ shared in the chaos


and sacrifice of humankind in order to give hope to all the people who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and also to give hope to all who live in their shadow.


, “Death be not proud,


though some have called thee mighty.'.. "One short sleep past, we


wake eternally, and death shall be no more: Death thou shalt die.” (John Donne - Holy Sonnets) In a biography of Alexan­


der Solzhenitsyn by Joseph Peacre, Solzhenitsyn tells


the writer tha t he thinks tha t the problem of our modern age is that we have


made a "virtue out of selfish­ ness". I find that quite an awe­


some and challenging phrase. There.is no doubt that individual freedom is partly about why the wars were fought.


Jesiis Himself was the


champion of the freedom of the individual: to be free from fear, free from sin, free


from oppression and injus­ tice.


He Himself waited upon


His Heavenly Father (Be silent before the Lord God!) Dare we do less! Can we


really not learn from histoiy? St Paul, writing to Chris­


tians in Thessalonica in the first Century might have been writing to people in our part of Lancashire. When they say "there is


peace and security.... Let us not fall asleep"..

Christmas concert

ly concert is to be held a t Trinity Methodist Church by the “Clitheroe Chorale”. Due to the resound­


ing success of last year’s event, the choir is to stage another evening on Friday, December 17th. ■ Tickets are available


from Clitheroe Music. They cost £5 for

Toast to an award-winning inn


LOCAL chef and licensee at the Black Bull Inn, Rimington, were among the winners at a prestigious food and wine awards ceremony, held in the Great Hall,


at Manchester University, where 300 peo­ ple sat down to a four-course meal. Chef Gary Newsome and proprietor


Mrs Barbara Blades were delighted when renowned chef Paul Heathcote, of Lui*" gridge, presented them with an award for the best casual dining for 2004/5. The award was achieved for creating and serv­ ing modern cuisine in a simple setting, using only fresh ingredients and produce from local suppliers. The judges had vis­ ited the pub, incognito, on several occa­


sions to make their choice. Chef Gary is proud of the many a c h ip v p d in th p


n w a rH .<5 hp


together with several television appear­ ances, however, at the moment he is con­ centrating on creating excellent dishes for the customers at the Black Bull. His parcel of oak-smoked salmon, filled


with warm scrambled eggs and brosse black truffle is a popular starter and a tenderloin of pork on a caramelised shal­ lot and potato scone with a Bramley apple and cider reduction is a favourite


main course. Among the guests a t the ceremony


were representatives of restaurants and hotels from all over Lancashire, the Lake District and Cheshire, together with wine and cheese representatives. Pictured are chef Gary Newsome and


licensee Mrs Barbara Blades with the award PPrHfippFp.


004/41 neighbour disharmony.


a n y of us have wit ­ nessed planning appli­ cations, failed or su e- . cessful, resulting in.long-term - - '


■;; Below, a Clitheroe reader offers useful words of advice. •® IF-you want to extend your ■


home,'then please inform all the ‘ neighbours who could be affected by


;your extension and discuss what you , ' are planning to dp so that they caii. make comments and hSp you under- : stand the effect it would have' on . them.


'v;; . ; . ■ r 9 THINK about how you would


feel it it were the other.way round and you would be affected by their identical extension. For example, will ’ it reduce your neighbours' view'from the sole window of a room and make them feel imprisoned? Would you like


As I see it


that done to you? If not, then think again. ■ . 9 HAVING had your plans drawn


up, please show them to your neigh­ bours to enable them to see exactly ■what you are planning. Give them tinie to think about and discuss any possible problems with you, so that they can be addressed before you contact your local council for plan­ ning permission. If a neighbour seems worried, modify the plan if possible. A compromise is preferable to a "falling out," which could esca­ late out of control. 9 WHEN you send your plans to


your local council, with the fee, remember they will inform your


neighbours, so that any objections can be put forward. 9 IF a neighbour does object,


either by informing you first or just contacting the council, then please remember that this is a democratic country and, just as you have the right to apply, they have the right to object. 9 DON'T take offence by any


objection(s). It is rarely personal and it is in your best interests, and those of your children, to remain on polite and/or friendly terms with your neighbours. A "good morning", or, "hello", costs nothing and maintains a happy neighbourhood. We teach our children by example.


9 IT may be that, despite any


objections, the council passes your plans. Please don't gloat, but be sen­ sitive to your neighbours' concerns. It may be tha t the council passes your plans in principle, but with specified modifications; or maybe they are refused and you have to think again. If so, please do not blame your neighbours. 9 IF your property is leasehold,


then it is vital that you obey the covenants in that lease and seek per­ mission from the freeholder/lessor before any building commences; or it could be costly when you come to sell and cause delays too. 9 REMEMBER, you may be a


person who likes to keep themselves to themselves, but in an emergency neighbours are wonderful, so it is in your best interests to be a consider­ ate neighbour.


Sleeves rolled up for a good cause


EMPLOYEES at 3M'Health Care in Clitheroe have been rolling up their sleeves to volun­ teer their help in the local com­


munity. Sbe volunteers spent a day at


the East Lancashire Hospice, at Blackburn, doing a variety of necessary jobs from putting up shelves in a storeroom to clear­ ing gutters, creosoting fences and general gardening work. Their efforts were part of the


UK-wide “3M 4Good” pro­ gramme, which gives every


employee the opportunity to do a day’s voluntary work on com­


pany time. Among the volunteers at the


hospice was Arnold Wilkinson, a manufacturing technology engineer at the company’s Up Brooks site. He commented: "We were all very pleased to be able to help the hospice out with jobs that otherwise they might have to pay to have done - so that money can be used for


patient care. "Everyone was determined to


put their backs into it and it was satisfying at the end of the day to see how much we had achieved." Hospice fund-raiser Harry Grayson said they were grateful to the company and the volun­ teers for their efforts. He said; "3M is no stranger to


the hospice, they have helped us out a great deal in the past and we are delighted with their sup­ port. They not only provided the labour but also the materi­ als, such as the shelving, which


in all would have costs us hun­ dreds of pounds to do."


3M volunteers have also been


supporting other charities and good causes around the .area - including gardening work at Clitheroe Hospital and assist­ ing the charity Age Concern. Our picture shows the 3M


Health Care volunteer team hard at work. They are, from the left, Mick Bond, Liliane Myers, Neil Tattersall, Suzanne 'Walsh, Paul Chamock and Arnold Wilkinson, (s)


Barn plays host to nomad’s tent!


INTREPID traveller Rufus Reade is set to turn part of Bashall Barn into an Aladdin's


cave of tribal art. Adventurous Rufus has spent the past 21


years trekking across western and central Asia, from Turkey to Nepal, somcing every­ thing from textiles, rugs and artifacts to fur­ niture, jewellery and costumes. His ‘‘Out of the Nomads’ Tent” exhibition


will take over the function room at Bashall Bam and Farm Shop, at Bashall Eaves, until


Sunday. Rufus said: "'Visitors can expect to see ru ^


ranging from classical, older pieces, with then- dignified colouring and traditional desipi, to modem ‘gabbehs’ from Iran and ‘kilims from India and Turkey, which feature bold colour and contemporary design. "We have a range of small tribal weaving


which includes prayer rugs and various Nomadic bags and trappings and some amaz- ing carved and hand-painted furniture from' Rajasthan. We will also be bringing a wide range of textiles, from simple vegetable dyed throws, to intricate embroidery and mirror work from India, feltwork from Kyrgyzstan and Lakai and Turkoman wall hangings." Bashall Barn's Helen Backhouse comment­


ed: "I've helped to organise exhibitions for Rufus before and they are absolutely stun­ ning. The beauty and detail in these pieces of decorative art is incredible and most of them


are handmade. The exhibition is open from 10 a.m. to 4


p.m. weekdays and from 9-30 a.m to 5-30 p.m. at weekends.
