(C280504/4) Schoolchildren’s wild art
PUPILS from Ribbles- dale High School Tech nology College have been getting creative, sketching pictures of British otters as possi ble designs for a sculp ture in Clitheroe. The pupils are members
of the Wildlife After Schools Project (WASP), a Preston-based organisa tion which runs wildlife clubs in schools through out Lancashire. Their artwork also ties
in with a project run by the Wildlife Trust and Clitheroe’s Platform Gallery to produce new exhibits for the Ribble Val ley sculpture trail, inside the Crosshill Quarry nature reserve, near Brungerley Park. The theme of otters was
chosen as the reserve is managed by the Wildlife Trust, who hope to encourage otters to return to this part of the Ribble Valley. WASP club members,
with Ribblesdale High School teacher Daniel Martin, have visited the site to look for signs of otters, observe local wildlife and choose an area
to site their sculpture. They have since returned' to the drawing board to develop their designs. Artist Julian Lees also
visited the school to help with their sketches and to offer guidance. Photographs and videos
were shown to the pupils by Wildlife Trust staff Julie Norman, Marianne Smuga and Elizabeth
Webley. They added to the pupils’ knowledge by answering questions about otters and their habitats. Julie Norman, from
WASP, commented: “The children are full of ideas and enthusiasm for the project and look forward to walking through the reserve and glimpsing a sculpture that they have designed.
“I t ’s a way for them to
feel ownership and belong ing to a small part of Clitheroe while increasing their knowledge about diversity of wildlife that they have on their doorstep.” Curator of the Platform
Gallery, Katherine Shoe- smith, will approve the final designs before a local artist interprets them into
a sculpture for the site. The sculpture trail will also include otter-themed markers designed and pro duced by St. James’ C.E. Primary School and Edis- ford Primary school as part of their WASP club sessions. Pictured are WASP club
members at Ribblesdale High working on their otter designs, (s)
French Connection’s charity cheque
FRIENDS and members of Clitheroe’s French Connection dug deep into their wal lets to raise funds for charity at a recent auc tion held at Mytton Fold Hotel, Langho. The auction with prizes donated by local
businesses took place at a dinner dance held on Easter Sunday as part of the group’s 27th exchange trip with friends from Clitheroe’s twin town of Rivesaltes in France. A total of £3,100 was raised with a further
£400 from programme sales at the football match between Rivesaltes and Clitheroe players held during the day. This money will be donated to the Children’s Wish charity, which was chosen in memory of Miss Angie Walmsley, who had been a prominent mem ber of the group since childhood, but sadly died last year at the age of 29. Children’s Wish co-ordinator Janet Waring
is pictured receiving a cheque for £3,500 from Clare Hargreaves, along with members of the French Connection. (A110504/1)

B a n f o r f a r r i e r
A SELF-EMPLOYED Gisburn farrier who was stopped as he drove home in the early hours was found to be nearly four times the legal drink-drive limit. Karl Andrew Antal (26), of Church
View, pleaded guilty at Blackburn Mag istrates’ Court to driving with excess alcohol. He was made subject to a com munity rehabilitation order for 12 months, banned from driving for three years and ordered to pay £60 costs. Antal, who gave a reading of 136
against the legal limit of 35, agreed to be referred to the drink-drive rehabilitation programme which, if completed success fully, will reduce his ban by up to 25 %. The case had previously been
adjourned for pre-sentence reports. Said Mr Basharat Ditta (defending):
“In my role as a defence solicitor I occa sionally meet people who I instinctively know I will not see in court again. This man is one of those.” He said the ban would cause Antal considerable problems.
