4 Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, May 6th, 2004 On comet alert
IF the skies are clear, a Sabden man will be tracking the path of a rare comet from tomorrow. Mr Norman Crompton, who watches
the skies from his Pendle Valley Observa tory in Sabden, says the comet NEAT (Near Earth Asteroid Tracking) 2001Q4 will make its closest approach to earth tomorrow, swinging by at a distance of 30 million miles. Mr Crompton says: "Hopefully, the
comet should remain Visible during the whole of May, but the best viewing peri od is between the 12th and the 16th, tak ing full use of the dark skies provided by the lack of the moon. “During the middle period of the
month, Comet NEAT 2001Q4 should remain visible to the naked eye."

Respects paid to the good doctor
THE funeral took place last week of Dr Randal Stalker, of Clitheroe Road, Whalley. Dr Stalker (pictured) was a
consultant chest physician at Blackburn Royal Infirmary and Withnell Hospital from 1963 to 1980. He was born in Edin burgh and educated at Daniel Stewart’s College and Edin burgh University, where he graduated in 1939. During 1940 and 1941 he was
an assistant medical officer at Papworth Village, in Cam
bridge. It was there that he first became involved in the study of pulmonary tuberculosis, partic ularly among young service men. From this time he became an advocate for the introduction of mass radiography. Between 1940 and 1946 Dr
Stalker served as a Flight Lieu tenant in the R.A.F. and it was after the war that he came to Lancashire as an assistant tuberculosis physician with the county council. After a period as a senior reg-
istrar in Blackburn, he became the medical director of the Number 1 Mass Radiography Unit, Manchester Region, and then assistant chief physician to the Blackburn group of hos pitals before being appointed a consultant chest physician in 1963. He was an expert in chest diseases, publishing several arti cles on tuberculosis and lung cancer and was awarded his MD degree from Edinburgh University for a thesis on the epidemiology of bronchogenic carcinoma. From 1972 to 1976 Dr Stalk
er was also the clinical tutor for the Blackburn and District Postgraduate Medical Centre and was a past president of the Blackburn and District Medi cal and Dental Society. Dr Stalker retired officially in

Holiday homes said to attract celebrities
by Duncan Smith
A NEW development, billed as “the ultimate luxu ry holiday home venture” is under way at Gisburne Park
Estate. According to its developers,
Ribblesdale Park is the first development of its quality and type in the UK, and is due for completion in June. The aim of Ribblesdale Park
is to turn the outdated “back to basics” image of UK holiday homes completely on its head by introducing a new concept in unashamed luxury and exclusivity. Setting new standards for
holiday home parks, i t will boast 62 state-of-the-art “rural lodges”, complete with saunas, hot tubs, plasma entertainment systems and maid services. All the luxuries found at a
five star hotel will be available within the development, against a backdrop of some of England's most beautiful
scenery. The exclusive, gated develop
ment nestles in the private Gis- bume Park Estate. I t encompasses more than
1,000 acres of rolling Ribble Valley countryside and with
views to the Yorkshire Dales. The project is being under
taken by Guy Hindley, the cur rent owner of Gisburne Park, who said: “We are looking to provide people from across the north of England with a new, fresh, healthy way of life, all just an Hour from the centre of Manchester. “Ribblesdale Park will pro
vide unending views and effec tively your own personal coun try estate to wander through, together with concierge, maid service, security and many other state-of-the-art utilities. This will bring a brand new real estate option to the UK.” The estate certainly has a
rich and noble past.Oliver Cromwell is said to have stayed at the old house on his way from battle in 1648, and more recently, Prince Charles has enjoyed the Ribblesdale hospi
tality. Speculation is already rife
about other celebrities who could be drawn to the attrac tions of the Ribble Valley by its latest luxury development. A recent article in the Sun
day Times claimed luxury holi day homes were the latest must-have fad of footballers’
wives. It caused a wave of excite
