Firm’s backing for healthy debate


CASTLE Cement is used to its products helping lay concrete foundations for the future,but now i t is also supporting the future of healthy debating. The company is spon­


soring the North West regional heat of a new national debating conape- tition for sixth-formers, called “Debating Mat­ ters”, organised by the Institute of Ideas. The competition seeks


to encourage young people to debate topical issues, focusing on the substance of the issues being dis­ cussed and being prompt­ ed by a panel of judges. As part of its sponsorship, Castle Cement will pro­ vide one of the judges. The North 'West region­


al heat, involving four schools, will be held at Towneley Hall, Burnley, in March 2005. The exact motions to be


debated are currently, being finalised, but will centre on three themes: science, art and the envi­ ronment. Gareth Price, general


manager at Castle's Rib- blesdale works in


Clitheroe, said: "We sup­ ported the pilot of this competition last year and found it a very worthwhile exercise, which is why we are delighted to offer our support to the inaugural national competition. "It's an exciting format


and invaluable in helping develop the debating skills of younger people which will undoubtedly stand them in good stead in the future. “Who knows, the debat­


ing skills honed in this competition could next be seen, in the debating chambers of Parliamentl” Competition co-ordina-


tor Tony Gilland said: "The Debating Matters pilot competition we ran la s t year generated an enthusiastic response from students, teachers and judges alike. “We're delighted that


Castle Cement are helping the Institute of Ideas to take Debating Matters to new parts of the country, and look forward to debating with sixth form­ ers from the North West."

Best feet forward in memory of a friend


by Faiza Afzaal


CLOSE friends of Whalley policewoman Miss Cate Sut­ cliffe are slipping on their run­ ning shoes on Sunday to tackle a 10k run in aid of two life-sav­


ing charities. Miss Sutcliffe (34), of Wadding-


ton, collapsed while on duty in August. She had been attending a routine, non-confrontational inci­ dent and was taken to Blackburn Royal Infirmary by ambulance, later being transferred to Royal Preston Hospital. However, after undergoing


extensive surgery, she died a few days later. Four months later, while most


people are wrapping up against the cold weather. Miss Sutcliffe’s friends and those who knew her, will pound the streets of Clitheroe to boost funds for the North West Air Ambulance and the Brain Research Trust - a medical research charity to support work at the Institute of Neurology. One of the organisers and Miss

Sutcliffe’s friend, Annabella Wall- berg, who works at Lee Carter Health Studio, in Clitheroe, said: “Cate was a highly respected, well-liked member of the local community and is missed dearly


by a lot of people. “We had been planning to raise


cash for the charities for quite


some time. “The air ambulance is run


entirely on donations and is always called to people living in remote rural areas. “Likewise, the Brain Research


Trust needs as many donations as it can to run.” Annabella added that since it


was announced that the run/walk was taking place, a lot of people had come forward to support the idea. She commented: “The response


has been absolutely fantastic. Many of Cate’s colleagues from the police force are taking part. “However, there is still time for


people to come fonvard and take part in the run/walk if they want to.” To tackle the charity race, the

An input of optimism is needed at the start the week, but because you're brewing in your own emotional stew, you can't deliver it. If you can get away from a stressed out friend or overheated cntic, do so! It will be harder than usual to keep your concentration and as a fog of absent minded forgetfulness descends you would be wise to write everything down especially if you have long lists of cards to send and gi^ to buy.A loved one needs a tender touch so shake off your distractions and focus on their needs.
