THERE is a new man at the top in the Rotary Club of Clitheroe's centenary year. After the vicar comes the

rector's son. Rotarian Mike Watkins is the new presi­ dent. A resident of Clitheroe


for the last 35 years, he was born in Hoole, near Pre­ ston, where his father was the rector. He is married to Margaret and they have four children and five grandchildren. Educated at St Michael's


Primary School and Hut­ ton Grammar School, he entered the Midland Bank in 1960. In his banking life, he held managerial posi­


sports, both as a player and as a spectator, he excelled a t both cricket and foot­ ball. Now his sporting and leisure activities are con­ fined to bowls, fell walking and general knowledge - Rotarians already know tha t he is a good man to have on your side in a quiz! A past chairman of

AN unemployed man who claimed he was a student selling rag mags in Clitheroe was in fact lining his own pocket. Blackburn magistrates heard that Steven


Clayton Slater (43) approached shop staff and told them he was not “crazy or reli­ gious”, but just raising money for student charities. The chairman of the bench told Slater


that his behaviour could have a knock-on effect of making the public suspicious of people collecting for genuine charities. Slater, of Keswick Road, Blackpool,

Take a look at your schedule and your eating habits, as both could use a thorough overhaul; you're so often in a hurry and eat on the run. If you've not been feeling up to par and don't seem to have the energy required to get things done, make changes in the way you've organised your day and your week. Avoid stopping at the fast food restaurants and don’t order fried foods; in due course you'll feel immensely better and will loose a few pounds in the process.

You’ll find the money you need to do up your home in a stylish way. You have ideas you’ve been wanting to put into practice for quite some time. Magazines and TV programmes that deal with home life give you even more inspiration and keep you motivated to achieve the look you want. Paying attention to your health regime brings wide benefits as you'll both look and feel better. Drinking plenty of water and fruit juices keeps you hydrated.

Practical jokes take preparation to pull off successfully and you get a certain enjoyment from accomplishing this, but when you experience how it feels to be on the receiving end of a prank you’ll find it can be a little uncomfortable. Agreeing to a commitment that you’re not ready to accept will only lead to trouble so steer clear of hard and fast decisions. Your personal loyalty and faithfulness may come into question towards the end of the week; you need to decide what YOU want to do.

Staying close to home is better for you than going further afield for fun with friends or family. Settling a matter with a relative will be easier now as the emotional climate allows you both to express your feelings and free yourselves from the problems that have been keeping you apart. A few tears help wash away past hurts and open you to welcome more love in your life. A new person who puts a twinkle in your eye is just passing through.


■ LEO 24th July *23nf August


Keep your expectations low, and you'll be pleasantly surprised at the week’s developments. Though there are forces working against you, you can pull strings behind the scenes and learn a few things by listening to others’ conversations. An emotional outburst may be cause for a few raised eyebrows, but it clears the air and it's better for you to let off steam. Once you get all your issues out in the open you’ll be freed up to move on to happier experiences.


■ m s ’:’ .•< VIRGO 24th August-22^ | The urge to get things in order sets you on a big cleaning project and you begin by taking stow of what you need and don’t need. Go through your cupboards and drawers and decide what you’ll keep and what you'll chuck. You get a big buzz from getting things done, not to mention the satisfaction that comes : from donating unwanted items to | charity. A gathering of family or friends at the weekend could turn into celebration.

A touch of romance perks up your week as you either date someone new or get ready to pop the question to the one you love above all others. Some trouble is brewing within family relations, so don’t be surprised if you get a message of disapproval for something you did recently. You have unintentionally hurt someone’s feelings, but you can smooth things over just by owning up and saying you’re sorry.

You're in a tug of war with yourself and feeling alternately elated and deflated. You'll find it easier to air sensitive issues and will be able to gain the co-operation of those whose help you need without making too much effort. Your own emotions may be a bit raw as you’re wearing your heart on your sleeve and even feeling a bit weepy. Watch out, someone could use this opportunity to get you involved in something you should steer clear of.

and had drunk a considerable amount of vodka the night before travelling to Clitheroe. “He says he wasn’t thinking straight,”


said Mr Rebello.

People around you are eager to get you alone to tell you something private and personal.. Though it's flattering to be so welt thought of, this privilege comes with a high level of responsibility and in some cases, it’s a position you'd rather not be in. In regard to your own situation, consider the emotional weight you're carrying and make a decision to break the ties that bind you to unpleasantness. Rest and relaxation come with the weekend.

Your personal plans are moving slowly and there’s no need to hurry them along. Go with the rhythm of the week and be content with the pace; you’ll help things go smoothly by not worrying and letting nature take its course. A powerful individual enjoys making you feel timid and unsure of yourself, but you're smarter than them and can see through their scheme. As you work out your budget for the upcoming month set aside a reasonable amount for entertainment.

Buying art or antiques will be profitable and pleasurable this week as you browse quaint shops and winkle out those bargains. A disagreement with a relative can be resolved gracefully if you appear to back down and let the other person think they've won. That's not so hard to do because only you know the full truth of the matter. As the weekend draws near you should plan to take at least some time for yourself and only yourself.

You begin the week with romance on your mind so plan to enjoy dinner in an atmospheric setting with someone special. A call to do charity work could catch you off guard, but once you get to grips with it you’ll find it rewarding. Going out of your way to do a friend a favour brings you a sense of satisfaction and the undying gratitude of those you help. As the week winds to a conclusion you'll be busy at home making repairs or improvements.

Mystery is in spotlight


TELEVISION cameras rolled in the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times office in a new bid to solve a 70-year- old murder. A crew from the BBC’s “Inside


Out” programme is looking again at evidence surrounding the mysterious death of James Dawson. He was shot in the back by an


unknown assailant on his way home to Bashall Hall, Bashall Eaves, after a night out a t the Edisford Bridge


public house in 1934. I t was commonly believed at the


time that many people - including the victim, who died four days later— knew who pulled the trigger. But the killer’s identity was never revealed. Now Mr Dawson’s great-niece,


Jennifer Lee Cobban, of Chatbum, is writing a book, titled “The Mystery of the Bashall Eaves Murder, 1934”. As par t of her research she was


granted a privileged glimpse into the faded and yellowed archive copies of the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, filmed by the TV crew. They had previously been to Set­


tle police station to see the original case file, and filmed at locations in


Clitheroe linked to the crime. The film is due to be screened as


part of a new run of “Inside Out’ later this year.

THERE was an oppor- tinity for goodbyes at Trinity Methodist Chur­ ch, Clitheroe's evening


service on Sunday. In the presence of the


Mayors of the Ribble Val­ ley and Clitheroe, the con­ gregation of Trinity Methodist Church was joined by members and friends from the other churches in the Methodist Circuit and also from the Anglican, Roman Catholic and community churches in the area. The occasion was in fact,


a double farewell - to the Rev. Richard Atkinson and his family as he completed six years of ministry in the circuit and moved to his appointment at Woodhouse Grove School in Bradford, and to David Smith as he moved to his first appoint­ ment as a Deacon in New­ castle upon Tyne. Opening with song and


dance by the younger mem- bers of the church and interspersed with hymns and prayers, the story was told of Mr Atkinson's min­ istry in Clitheroe. After the service there


was opportunity for indi­ vidual "goodbyes" over

Mitchell and his wife had not been getting on for a number of weeks and the incident had been another spat in a pattern of behaviour. “He accepts that he contributed to the


incident, but says he is not a violent man and never has been,” said Miss Halliwell.
