f Letters to the Editor - j Write to: The Editor, Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, 3 King Street, Clilheroe BB72EW Editorial e-mail: vivien.meath@casllancsnews.co.uk | Back campaign to protect OAPs


I AM writing to urge your readers to back the Help the Aged campaign against bogus callers, rogue traders and dis­ traction burglars, by asking their MP to sign a Parliamen­ tary motion. Help th e Aged has been


working with Gordon Mars- den MP, who has recently pre­ sented a Bill to Parliament, calling for a ban on doorstep of selling property repairs from unsolicited callers. We know that selling prop­


erty repairs is one of the main “fro n ts” used by rogue traders, bogus callers and dis­ traction burglars, and th a t criminals are targeting older people across the country, charging outrageous prices for shoddy work or no work a t all.


Work done as p art of the


Help the Aged SeniorSafety campaign, showed th a t


around 400,000 vulnerable older people are targeted each year by bogus callers in Britain. We offer advice and infor­


mation, and can provide SeniorLink units in older peo­ ple’s homes, which they can use to call for suppor t and advice when people knock on their door. A total ban on all doorstep


selling for property repairs will be the only sure way to protect older people from rogue traders and distraction burglars. I appeal to your readers to


take action now, to contact their local MP asking them to back Gordon Marsden’s Bill, and sign up to E a r ly Day Motion 219 from Paul Truswell MP.


LYSA RALPH, National Senior Safety Manager, Help the Aged


Edmond would have


loved this great show! I WOULD like to take the opportunity to^ sincerely thank the peddle tof Clitheroe for' their tremendous support by their atten­ dance at the tribute show to my late uncle, Edmond Cambien. I am sure he would have been very, very


proud to know that the people of Clitheroe had such high regard for him. I would also like to thank Michael O'Ha­


gan, Philip Dobson, Anne Grogan, John Turner, Bill Taylor, John Wilkinson, Cath Whitham, the members of Clitheroe Operat­ ic Society and many more too numerous to mention, for the effort they all put into pro­ ducing and performing in such a fantastic show. The efforts of everyone have raised the


magnificent sum of £4,000, and it has been decided at committee that the money will be donated to the following charities and organ­ isations with which Edmond had links: the Friends of Clitheroe Hospital are to receive £2,000; Cancer Research £800; Age Concern £800 and £400 will be donated to Clitheroe and District Scouts. Edmond had several spells in Clitheroe Hospital where he was looked after profes-

The shew was brilliant, the support with­ out measure - thank you all, each and

a town like Clitheroe, where people still have big hearts, and time for people who


care about others. I am sure Edmond would have loved it


and said "the show must go on," and some­ how I am sure he was there.

Will someone locate


New Maris Woods? LAST week you reported the proposed clo­ sure of the A671 Whalley Road through Read while safety improvements at Devil’s Elbow are carried out in July and August. The road is due to be closed from Port-


field Bar to New Maris Woods, just before Read village. New Maris Woods are not marked on


either the Ordnance Survey Map or the A- Z Street Atlas of the area. Can anyone tell me where these woods


are situated and where the temporary diversion will end?


JENNIFER LOCKWOOD, Woodlands Park, Whalley


Wonderful level of


care after major op I HAVE nothing but praise for the care and attention I received during my stay at the Castleford Re-hab Unit. The carers were wonderful and always


there to give you help and advice whenever needed.


I arrived feeling the effects of major


surgery and very unsure of myself. After one month's stay, I returned home full of confidence and very, very grateful for the care I'd received while at the unit. I must add, the food was excellent and I owe a very big thank you to the kitchen staff also. Again, thank you to all who helped me so much in my recovery.

setting us straight I APPRECIATE the correction by the spokesman for the Environment Agency to the apparently erroneous information I submitted to the Clitheroe Advertiser and


Times for publication - unwittingly, of course. Even greater appreciation would be


expressed by all residents of the area who, according to wind direction, are subject to the fallout of dust, if the spokesman’s Envi­ ronment Agency could recognise this per­ petual hazard and say that it is concerned and is doing something about it. Irrespective of fuel used in the Castle


Cement kilns, it is shameful that Mrs Mary Horner has to be the lone voice crying valiantly, but in a seemingly futile manner in a philistine wilderness.

Friend of the Wizard


of Whirlaw writes THE letter in last week's Clitheroe Adver­ tiser and Times regarding William Holt was totally misleading.


His "Wizard of Wiswell" is surely the


"Wizard of Whirlaw", William Holt, of Todmorden who, in the late 1940s and early 1950s, rode around this area on his horse, Trigger, selling his books. My husband and I used to see him regu­


larly with Trigger in the Rossendale area. William Holt was a genial man, good to talk to, interesting to listen to, he had trav­ elled all over the Far East in his younger days, in the days before the last war, when few people had travelled into obscure places alone, as he had done. He used to tell us th a t he did not trust


the large publishing houses to produce his work. He wanted his books to be printed and published as he wanted them to be done, to appeal to the ordinary person. Trigger, his horse, was always well shod


and fed, and I would think that around his native Todmorden there would be plenty of farmers who would give him a meal and sta­ bling for his horse for the night. William's books were a blend of travel


and of local events around Todmorden, in which he took a great interest. As I write, I have his signed "Wizard of


Whirlaw'' in front of me. Here is a list of the seven books he wrote before Wizard. "The Weavers Knot", "Backwaters",


"The Price of Adventure", "I Haven't Unpacked", "I Still Haven't Unpacked", "Under a Japanese Parasol" and "I was a Prisoner". All are good reading.


MRS MARY FLETCHER, Higham Hall Road, Higham


Who will these speed


cameras really deter? AS a teacher of sick and injured children who often sees the horrific results of road traffic accidents, I can only applaud the plans to improve the A671 Whalley Road through Read and Simonstone. However, the police have told parish


councillors th a t during the work on the A671, speed traps will be put in Sabden to deter motorists, but deter them from what exactly - speeding or visiting Sabden alto­ gether? Surely the police could provide an alter­


native, more effective traffic management system, or is this just another opportunity to extract more money from the motorist?

Thumbs up to new extension at school


TEACHERS, pupils, parents and spe­ cial guests gathered to celebrate the launch of a brand new infants block at' Mellor St Mary’s Primary School. A well-attended special ceremony was


held a t the school situated in Brund- hurst Fold to mark the much-awaited event. After a year of intensive construction,


the purpose-built block is equipped to very high standards and includes two classrooms and a computer suite. Speaking on th e necessity of th e


extension, headteacher Mrs Christine Taylor, said: “The extra space will pro­ vide more facilities and a lot more opportunities for the youngsters to develop their true potential.” Our picture shows chairman of gover­


nors, the Rev. Peter Hudson, along with oldest pupil Sarah Nightingale and youngest pupil Eve Brown officially opening the new extension. (B270504/3)


Step back in time for steam fair


by Rebecca Wright


STEP back in time this weekend at Slaidburn’s


annual steam fair. The free event will display a


variety of vintage vehicles, chil­ d ren ’s e n te r ta inm e n ts and artist demonstrations on Satur­ day and Sunday - outside the Hark To Bounty pub in Slaid­ burn. Many of the villagers even


don period costumes to get into the spirit of the fair and create an a u th e n t ic old-fashioned atmosphere. A highlight of the weekend


will be th e "Strongest Man" steam engine pulling contest. The prize for the lucky win­


ner will be a refreshing a bucket of ale kindly donated by the


Hark to Bounty landlord, Mr Nick Hay. As well as six full-sized


engines and two smaller steam­ ers, there will be various vin­ tage cars, motorbikes and wag­ ons on display. Throughout the fair - which


begins a t 10-30 a.m. each day - fairground organs will be enter­ taining the crowds with music and local school children will also be demonstrating maypole dancing. There will also be craft fairs


and an artist demonstration of oil and watercolour paintings, which will be available to buy. A special steam-orientated


menu will be available over the weekend a t the pub, as well as entertainment in the evenings with folk singing and music. Organiser of th e event Mr


Warning over cash ‘wins’


David McNamee, of Slaidburn, said: “There’s loads going on throughout the weekend, with something for all ages to get involved in. Mr McNamee, a ship’s cap­


tain, added: “Local businesses in th e Ribble Valley have helped ou t by sponsoring the event. “The fair is free of charge,


b u t we do provide ‘h o n es ty buckets’ for visitors to add any donations.” The proceeds will cover costs


of the fair and then go towards Slaidburn village to fund its lengthsman who helps to keep the village tidy and well-main­ tained. This is also funded by Slaid­


burn’s annual calendar which has pictures of the village and the surrounding area.
