West llehoming Centro run by the Dogs Trust (formerly the National Canine Defence League) has been bursting at the seams with dogs needing a loving home. More than 100 stray or aban­ doned dogs and puppies are currently at the centre, in Huy ton, Liverpool. It was recently visited by celebrity vet


Steve Leonard, who featured in the BBC’s “Vets School” and “Vets in Prac­ tice” series and now regularly presents his own animal documentaries. Steve, who lives in Cheshire, visited


the Rehoming Centre to support the Dogs Trust’s dedicated neutering and microchipping campaign in the North West. Many of the dogs in the centre are strays from unplanned and unwanted litters from un-neutered dogs. “I t ’s part of being a responsible dog


owner to make sure your dog is neutered : and microchipped,” said S t e v e . ^ ,. The North West has a very bad stray ;


dog problem and neutering and mierochipping through Dogs Trust can both help to overcome this problem. “Neutering is not only beneficial for


preventing unwanted puppies, but it also has health benefits for your dog,:: including preventing certain types of cancer. Microchipping is also an ea sy , and painless procedure for allowing your: dog to be traced it he becomes lost or is stolen.” Dogs Trust North West Campaigns


Manager, David Wright, added; “In the North West last year, the number of stray dogs increased by an estimated 11% from the year before to 16,239. stray dogs in 2003. “If these dogs had been microchipped

with the correct contact details for the owner and more dogs were neutered preventing unwanted litters, the figures could have been much lower.” Since 2000, more than 30,000 dogs


have been microchipped and 24,000 dogs neutered in the North West region by Dogs Trust.

the dogs at the centre a second chance by providing a loving homo can ring for more information on 0151 4800660. ■ Our picture shows celebrity vet Steve

^ LOOKING BACK n 100 years ago


NOT for a considerable time had such gloom been cast o v e r fc i ic n o jg i ib o u r i io o c J o f C l i th e ro e u n d Gishlirn zis


that which enveloped it by the receipt of the sad intelli­ gence respecting the death of Captain the Hon.


Thomas Lister DSO, 10th Hussars, eldest son of Lord


and Lady Ribblesdale. The telegram was despatched from Jidballi, Soma­


liland, stating that a fight had taken place with the forces of the Mullah, and that a severe defeat had been inflicted on the Dervishes, who suffered hea-vy losses. Unfortunately while pursuing the fleeing enemy, Capt. Lister, heir to the Barony of Ribblesdale, was shot and


speared. Clitheroe was in mourning and the Mayor forwarded


a telegram of sympthy on behalf of the inhabitants. t In the time before political correctness, the “nig­


ger minstrels” held their annual ball at the National School. There were about 80 persons present and a v e^ enjoyable evening was spent. Dancing was indulged in from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. and songs were given at intervals.

THE Borough and Rural District Road Safety Com­ mittee recommended that parking in Castle Street be banned. Members doubted that the speed of traffic would increase to any extent, that a safe, unobstructed passage was necessary and above all that pedestrians would have a clear view of what might be coming before they stepped off the pavement. ® Hurst Green residents were puzzled by the discov­


ery of another stone cross in the village. The police sta­ tion, on being reoccupied after many months, had the overgrown hedging and trees surrounding it cut back. It was then the cross was found and inquiries showed that an old legend attributed the erection of the cross to soldiers forming part of the Roman garrison at


Ribchester. e Schoolchildren attended special Tuesday and


Wednesday matinee performances of the film “The Conquest of Everest”. Cther keen viewers included the weavers from Clitheroo’s Jubilee Mill, who had made the special cloth for the tents and protective clothing used by the expedition mountaineers.

ALTERATICNS to the the Post Cffice in King Street: Clitheroe, meant a new counter and better services for customers, including the introduction of a single queue­ ing system. However the telephone kiosks had to be removed, but a replacement kiosk next to the existing one in Market Place was to be erected as soon as possi­ ble. • Preliminary discussions were held between Ribble


Valley Council and British Rail about the possibility of reopening the railway station at Whalley, which was pictured in a semi-dilapidat'ed condition. A report noted that one of the two platforms was intact and that the underpass still existed, facilitating access. It was hoped to use the station as part of the Dalesrail service. O The appeal for a bull-whip to be used by the lead


ing lady in Clitheroe Cperatic and Dramatic Society' production of “Calamity Jane” met with a tremendous response. Unfortunately the whips provided were all too long for Susan Russell to handle and a shorter one was still sought.
