28 Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, June 3rd, 2004 DISH OF THE WEEK
BEEF, MUSHROOM AND RED WINE WITH THYME SUET CRUST
with Rod and Sue Spence, of Burholme Farm, Whitewell
NESTLED by the Hodder River in the
heart of the Forest of Rowland/ Burholme Farm is the oldest farm owned by the Duchy of Lancaster, dating back to the 14th Centu ry.. The Spence family have been farming cattle
and sheep there for more than 40 years, mainly dairy farming. Four months ago Rod and Sue Spence decided on a revolutionary change by offering supplies of their farm-reared beef and lamb direct to the discerning people who appreciate the quality and taste of real meat. Farming is a family tradition. Rod’s farther Christopher together with his
brother-in-law, Mr Donald Baines, ran Burholme Farm before Rod took over, and now son Christopher is working full-time on the farm.. Rod and Sue’s other son, John, is still at'
school while.daughter Janet works in Clitheroe. Sue also has a demanding career being head
housekeeper at the famous Inn at Whitewell. In 2000 Rod and Sue took over the neigh
bouring Higher Whitewell Farm from the Seed family thus enabling them to increase their herd to 80 suckle cows and 800 breeding sheep who now all feed on the lush, green grass on the hills above Whitewell. Hygiene is of the upmost importance so this
premium meat is vacuum packed, boxed and labelled ready to drop straight into your freez er.

LAST year on my travels I visited Bodegas Riojanas, a lovely old winery in the town of Cenicero in the Rioja region of Northern Spain. A few weeks ago their
export manager, Luis Zap- atero Artacho, returned the compliment by visit ing the shop. The bodegas he works
for is an old family busi ness founded in 1890, the winery itself was con structed by French techni cians and the result was an almost exact copy of a French chateau. The company produces
quite a range of wines, which include the Monte Real range from grapes grown locally, Gran Reser- vas from the early 60s can still be bought. Vina Albina is the other
main range made with grapes from their more northerly vineyards. They are finer and dryer, it is these vineyards that pro duce PUERTO VIEJA CRI- ANZA at £5.29. This very fine Rioja is

Book lover Claudia is queen
A CLITHEROE schoolgirl’s review of the book "The Enor mous Crocodile” was crowned the Relay Readers scheme champion for April. Eight-year-old Claudia
Nurse, pictured, who attends St James Primary School, in Clitheroe, had a barrel of laughs when she read the book written by the late children’s author Roald Dahl. The Relay Readers scheme
is run by Lancashire County Library Service and encour ages young people to read more books and write down their thoughts about them on a special review sheet. The
-scheme then recognises monthly winners for the best review. Claudia, of Peel Park Close,
wrote on her review sheet: “This story is about an enor mous crocodile who would like
to eat a nice, juicy, fat child for his lunch.. “The crocodile says he has a
secret plan and clever tricks to help him catch the child.” But according to Claudia’s
review, the crocodile’s plots and disguises are foiled by the animals in the jungle. “At the end, Trunky the ele
phant picks the crocodile up with his trunk and swings him round and round in the air. Then he lets go and the crocodile zooms into the sky faster and faster until he hits the sun and gets sizzled up like a sausage,” added Claudia who is a member of Clitheroe Library. Claudia said she found the
book very funny and liked the pictures illustrated by Quentin Blake. She is now working towards a gold award in the Relay Readers scheme.

Let battle begin in the fight for broadband
by Faiza Afzaal
TWO Brockhall Village resi dents are battling to bring high speed Internet access to their area, which due to its rural location, has so far been unavailable. Mr Gerard Knight and Dr
Grant McKeating currently rely on a slow dial-up connection to communicate with their friends, relatives and customers. Dr McKeating, who is a consul
tant anaesthetist at The Royal Preston Hospital, has had to install two telephone lines in his house as the dial-up connection does not allow him to make tele phone calls at the same time as he is logged on. The pair have now got in touch
with a private company, “Cetus Solutions Limited”, in a bid to bring the “always-on” broadband service to their village. The Manchester-based compa
ny plans to offer high speed inter net access to the nearly 280 resi dential properties in the village at prices similar to conventional broadband. Customers will pay a one-off installation fee of £99, fol lowed by monthly payments of £29.95. Each connection will be equiva
lent to an enhanced version of ADSL broadband, known as SDSL, which will deliver internet connection without tying up the phone line. This means that resi dents will be able to upload data at the same high speed as they can download. Managing Director of Cetus
Solutions, Mr Mike English, said: “A residential community of this size without high-speed internet connectivity in this, the communi cation age, will without doubt be limiting working and academic potential amongst residents. “We use proven equipment to
deliver internet access via simple aerials and aim to offer a fully managed service package inclusive of virus protection, e-mail filtering and content management for peace of mind.” The company is carrying out
tests and trials over the coming weeks, with a potential launch planned as early as July or August. However, Cetus Solutions will only launch the service if it believes there to be sufficient interest in the area. Consequently, both Dr McKeat
ing and Mr Knight, are conducting a leafleting campaign, holding meetings and putting up notices, to raise awareness of broadband and the registration process required to bring it to the commu nity. Dr McKeating said: “This ini
tiative is backed both by Brockhall Village Ltd. and Brockhall Village Residents' Association. We believe that there will be great demand for broadband within the village, but we need residents to register their interest with Cetus Solutions as soon as possible, so that the scheme can get off the ground.” To register interest, or to request
further information about the new service, residents of Brockhall Vil lage are asked to call Cetus Solu tions on 0161-848-4315 or to e- mail

Author proves a hit with students
POPULAR author Gervase Phinn visited Stonyhurst to officially open Hodder House, the new early years development at St Mary’s Hall. The writer and well-known raconteur is
acclaimed for his children’s stories and poems as well as hilarious books about life as a school’s inspector in the Yorkshire Dales. He toured the new classrooms and told young
pupils a story using finger puppets, before read ing them one of his own stories. Hodder House is a purpose-built, two-storey building, which caters for 74 pupils from the age of three to seven. It is equipped to very high standards and
includes three classrooms, a nursery facility, a library and play and sports areas. Following a blessing of the building by Fr.
Adrian Howell SJ, Spiritual Father at St Mary’s Hall, parents and guests enjoyed an “An audi ence with Gervase Phinn” in the school’s Cente naries Theatre. Pupils sang a song and two of the children
presented the author with a crystal decanter and glasses before the party had lunch in the Old Theatre. Our picture shows Fr Howell with novelist
Gervase Phinn ready to cut the ribbon to open the new building. (C260504/3)
