School performance brings the curtain down for leavers


ALL Clitheroe's Pendle Pri­ mary School leavers had a part to play in the end-of- term production of “Twelfth Night.” Whether it was as back- stage people, operating the

that Marcus Dylan Blackburn had initially claimed the bite had been in self-defence because he thought Sarah Kenyon was going to strike him. But his solicitor accepted that it


was difficult to justify a bite as self- defence. Blackburn, of Talbot Close, had originally pleaded not guilty to assault, but changed his plea on the day of trial. He was fined £75 and ordered to pay £75 compensation and £75 costs. Mr John Wishart (prosecuting)


said Blackburn and Miss Kenyon had been in a relationship for five years up until Christmas 2002. He said the break-up of the relation­


ship had been traumatic for both parties and letters given to the prosecution showed he wanted the relationship to continue. “She was having none of it and


was pursuing her own life,” said Mr Wishart. On Sunday, December 28th, Miss Kenyon was in Clitheroe town centre with friends and they went to The Dog pub, on Wellgate. “By chance, Blackburn was in the same pub, but there is no suggestion he was stalking her,” said Mr Wishart. “He was very drunk and at some


stage threw a drink over Miss Kenyon’s group. Quite sensibly she agreed to go outside and talk to him.” While they were talking near to Tesco, Miss Kenyon held up her hands in a gesture which was meant to say ‘stop, enough is enough’, but Blackburn bit her fin­ gers. This matter has dragged on

Council’s pub plea to TV soap chiefs


by Duncan Smith


COUNCIL bosses in Ribble Valley have come up with a novel way of highlighting new licensing laws.


- They have asked scriptwriters at the BBC and Granada Television to feature the new laws in a soap opera. The Licensing Act, which comes into


force next February, will have a fundamen­ tal impact on the way licensing is handled, including how public houses are run.


. - r And Ribble Valley Borough Council h ^ asked TV bosses to Jeature the changes in the Coronation Street’s Rovers Return


and EastEnders’ Queen Vic. Existing laws relating to alcohol, public


entertainment, cinemas and theatres are to be repealed. The new Act will modernise le^lation governing the sale and supply of alcohol and transfer responsibility for licensing issues from the magistrates’ courts to local councils. That should mean that local people have a more direct say in licensing matters that


directly affect them. Whalley councillor Chris Sterry, chair­


man of Ribble Valley Borough Council’s new Licensing Committee, said: “We are in the process of contacting licensees outlin­


Pupils’ Krypton Factor-style challenge


THIRTY-TWO Year 9 pupils from Ribblesdale High School Technolo­ gy College took part in an inter­ team challenge competition. Throughout the day the pupils


took part in four different chal­ lenges. Firstly, there was a mental challenge (A Murder Hunt - although no one was actually mur­ dered!) where pupi!s became detec­ tives and had to work out who had been murdered, where, when and how using a series of clues. They then took part in a con­ struction challenge, where they had


to build bridges strong enough to hold weights, with only straws, scis­ sors, Sellotape and newspapers. After lunch they had a physical


challenge with circuit training in the sports hall and an egg and spoon relay - expertly demonstrat­ ed by Miss Robinson and Mrs Street beforehand.


Finally, a general knowledge


challenge with a series of quizzes was staged.


Both pupils and staff had a very


enjoyable day with competition being fierce! Spot prizes were


awarded throughout the day and a very close contest was eventually won by Hodder and Ribble teams


by one single point. I t is hoped that the competition


will be extended to other year


groups next year. The event was sponsored by Per­


rys Peugeot, Blackburn, who pr(^ vided an annual team trophy and individual medals for the winners. Ribblesdale expressed thanks to Perrys for providing the trophies. Our picture shows young winners with their trophies, (s)


ing the provisions of the Act and how it is


likely to affect them. “But we also want residents to be aware


of their right to make representations on individual applications and a storyline in a soap opera seemed the perfect way. “We are sure th a t Fred Elliot of the Rovers Return would have plenty to say on


the matter!” At the moment, pubs close at the same


time, but the Government wants a more Continental culture, with staggered open­ ing and closing times. Critics claim people will gravitate towards pubs that are open the longest and'the changi^ will exacerbate Britain’s binge drinking culture. /


of Legal Services MFRauf Timson;said: “Premises that want to operate the same way will simply apply for a conversion license, but local authorities could face applications from premises wanting to become mini-nightclubs. “Such applications will be determined by

public hearings in the council chamber, at which residents and licensees will be able to


have their say. “I can confirm I have been asked by


councillors to write to the BBC and Grana­ da Television requesting a storyline in Coronation Street and Eastenders as a way of highlighting the new law.”


Mobile phone mast plan for village is rejected


A SCHEME for a mobile telephone mast next to the telephone exchange building in Chatbum has been turned down by Ribble


Valley planners. Seven letters of objections from residents


around the Clitheroe Road area were hand­ ed in to the council’s Planning and Devel­ opment Committee. ' Those objecting to the planning applica­ tion were mainly concerned about the potential health risks and visual impact of


the mast in the village. Under the proposals, the 17.5m high tim­


ber monopole, antennae, dish and other equipment would have provided improved coverage over the centre of Chatbum vil­


lage. However, the borough council’s plannmg


officer Mr Mark Ollerenshaw, as well as members of the committee, were convinced that the mast would not be in keeping with


the area. Other reasons for refusal included the


fact tha t insufficient evidence had been produced indicating that the use of alter­ native sites had been adequately explored.

Caught behind wheel - a day after being banned


A CLITHEROE man was caught behind the wheel the day after he was banned from driving for three years. Peter John Taylor (35)


told Blackburn magistrates he thought he had 24 hours’ grace before the ban came into force. Taylor, of Curzon Street,


pleaded p i l ty to driving while disqualified and without insurance in Jan­ uary, when sentence was deferred. After hearing


th a t he had kept out of trouble and complied with conditions of a community rehabilitation order since then, the magistrates imposed a conditional dis­ charge for two years and banned Taylor for a further three years. Mr Michael Blacklidge (defending) said that Tay­ lor had simply been turn­ ing the car round, so it was facing the right way when he was seen by the police.
