THE fifth "Light up a Life" appeal was launched this week by East Lan cashire Hospice. Trinity Methodist Church,
Chtheroe, and Blackburn Cathedral are the two venues for the campaign this year. The appeal, organised to raise
much-needed funds for the hospice, offers everyone the opportunity of remembering a loved one a t Christ mas. For a donation to the hospice, they
can dedicate a light on a Christmas tree, either a t Trinity Methodist Church, or Blackburn Cathedral. Once they have bought the light,
they receive a personalised card marking their dedication. They can then give the card to someone as a unique gift or simply keep it them selves. The person the light is dedicated to
can be a close friend, a loved one, someone who has moved away, some one they wish to remember, or some one they wish to thank. There is no minimum donation, all
the hospice asks, is that people are as generous as they can. Lights a t Trinity Methodist
Church will be switched on during a special service on December 1st, while at Blackburn Cathedral, the

raising a t the hospice, said: "The symbolic nature of Light up a Life, what the lights on the tree stand for as they shine out over the Christmas period, has been taken to the hearts of many of our friends and support ers. A draft copy of the book of dedi cation is on display at both services where donors are able to see their words of dedication." You can donate to the campaign,
by completing the coupon below and forwarding it to: Appeals Depart ment, East Lancashire Hospice, Park Lee Road, Blackburn BB2 3NY. The hospice cares for terminally ill
patients and their families. I t depends heavily on the support of people from the region, with £400,000 needed to be raised from
voluntary sources each and every year. The four years of the campaign
have raised from £2,000 to £22,000 in 2003. This year, organisers are hope ful that records will again be broken.
A (jLITHEROE driver is in pole position after taking a national karting title.
Going for gold! For the second consecutive year Mr Anthony
Peel has been crowned as the Over-35s NKF 125cc UK Champion.
Having got involved in the sport just five years
ago, Mr Peel secured his second top spot finish in Cumbria over the weekend.
To take the title Mr Peel had to perform con
sistently well driving the kart which he built and m ^ ta in s himself over six rounds, each staged at a different indoor circuit around the country. Mr Peel explained that each of the six races consist of three heats with drivers accumulating
scores are taken into account. Recording five first place finishes and one sec
points which then dictate their grid position in the final. From each of the six races a drivers five best
ond meant Mr Peel not only secured his age cat- egoiy trophy, but his fantastic results also meant t he finished 15th in the overall karting comneti-
ion. m e n competing locally Mr Peel is cheered on

www.ciitheroetoday.co.u mother claimed benefits
A SIN GLE mother incapacitat ed by a back injury took a clean ing job to help her youngest son financially as he embarked on his university career. But Blackburn ma^trates heard
that Joy Sturdy continued to claim benefits while working for Sticky Fingers Cleaning Services earning up to £89 a week. Sturdy (48), of Tower Hill,
Clitheroe, pleaded guilty to two charges of failing to notify change of circumstances and two of making a false statement to obtain benefits. She was made subject to a com
munity rehabilitation order for six months and ordered to pay £75 costs. Mr Robin Phoenix (prosecut
ing), said Sturdy had been work ing from the beginning of May 2003 until at least January 19th, resulting in an overpayment of £2,758. Mr Alfred Rebello (defending)
said his client was a woman of pre vious good character. She had raised her three chil
dren single-handedly and had always worked hard. She had suffered back problems
Bull’s eye for babies
A RIBBLE VALLEY landlord and landla dy held two dart competitions recently to - raise money for charity. Mr and Mrs John and Margaret Mar
shall, who run the Bridge Inn, in Clitheroe, donated £620 to the neo-natal unit a t Queen’s Park Hospital, at Blackburn. The unit, which cares for premature
babies, was chosen by Mr Daimy Bums, of Clitheroe, after he had visited a family member who was being treated in the unit. The fund-raising evenings consisted of
mixed double teams from Clitheroe compet ing against each other and also featured a raffle.
i
some years ago which had resulted in an operation and her claiming incapacity benefit and being unable to work. “She was asked to give a friend
who had a cleaning job a lift to work and ended up doing some cleaning and being paid,” said Mr Rebello. “It coincided with her son start
ing at university and she thought the money from the cleaning job would help to get him on his feet. “It was only going to be a short
term thing, but it snowballed and she finds herself here today having lost her good name.”
Dress down day boosts hospice
A CHARITY fund-raising event, which allowed employees to dress casually for the day, was held by Ribbie Valley Borough Council. Council workers paid £1 to take part in
the “dress down day”, which subsequent ly was donated to the chosen charities of Ribbie Valley’s Mayor and Mayoress, Coiin. Charles Warkman and his wife.
Ruth. The annual event raised in the region of £100, which will be split between Derian House, a children’s hospice in Ast- ley, near Chorley, and Water Aid, an inter national charity focusing on water schemes in under- privileged countries. Our picture shows the Ribbie Valley
Mayor and Mayoress with council staff during the “dress down day”. (B011004/3)
