Sports hall is fully booked!


by Vivien Meath


WORK began on the new sports hall at Bowland High School on Saturday. And even before the footings are dug, the


£1.5m. facility is fully booked! Head teacher Mr Maurice Graham


explained that the school had to undertake an audit as part of the bid for the facility, identifying those interested in using it. Consequently, volleyball, netball, bad­


minton and cricket players have already expressed a wish to use the hall. The Ribble Valley Netball Club is keen


to make it its home base, cricket clubs already experiencing difficulty finding premises for winter nets will utilise it, and it will become home to the youth club already on site. News of the £1.5m. National Lottery


New Opportunities Fund award was made public last Wednesday and will give a real boost to the rural community around Bow-

YOUNGSTERS who attend the Helen O’Grady Children’s Drama Academy in Chatburn staged their annual production for a delighted audience of family and friends. Two plays were performed by different


age groups at Chatbum School, where the drama classes are held by local Helen O’Grady Academy principal, Pam Shack- leton. Children aged five to eight acted out


“The Grasshopper and the Ants”, a play about the importance of lending a hand when help is needed and reaping the rewards later.


Older children, aged nine to 12, present­


ed “Fancy That”, a play set at a fancy dress party where three aliens steal the show - but are they really wearing cos­ tumes? Both plays were very well received. Anyone wanting to learn more about


Helen O’Grady Drama Academy classes can visit the school’s website on (www.helenogrady.co.uk) or phone Pam


Shackleton on 01282 852209. Our picture shows the young cast of “The Grasshopper and the Ants”dressed in

Cash drive pays off here and abroad


A YEAR-LONG fund-raising drive by the Inner Wheel Club of Ribblesdale has bene­ fited several Ribble Valley charities and organisations. After Mrs Edna Clarkson handed over


the presidency - a position she has held for 18 years - to Mrs Millie Watts, a £150 cheque was presented to the Clitheroe First Responders. In addition, the North-West Air Ambu­


lance was sent £250, Derian House Chil­ dren’s Hospice received £100, and the East Lancs Hospice £363.


The club, which is open to the wives of


all Rotanans, raised the money through a games evening, a coffee morning, an antiques fair and carol singing. Nearly £270 was raised from a demon­


stration of Thai cookery held at Clitheroe Golf Club.


This particular figure was divided between two overseas charities - “Hopes


and Homes for Children” and


Savers.” Pictured is Mrs Clarkson handing

land High School. Work is expected to take 11 months, during which time the 450-plus


pupils will utilise temporary classrooms and the school hall. Longridge firm Walter Carefoot has been


awarded the contract. News of the hall follows an extensive pro­


gramme of work at the school during the five years of Mr Graham's headship. Some £2.8m. has since been spent on


Bowland High. At the time of Mr Gra­ ham's appointment, it looked possible that the school would close on its current site and suitable sites for a new building were being sought. The decision was taken to develop on the


Grindleton site and pupils have benefited from a range of new classrooms and facili­ ties. The new hall, which is for school and


community use, is tied in with the school's bid for specialist status to become a per­ forming arts college and will lead to the introduction of GCSE PE.

Jean lived life to full


by Marcia Morris


A WELL-RESPECTED and popular Clitheroe resi­ dent has lost her fight for life after receiving a life-saving liver transplant 16 years


ago. It was in January 1988 that


Mrs Jean Lord (pictured) received a second liver trans­ plant after her body rejected the first donor liver, at Birm­ ingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hos­ pital. She regularly returned to the hospital for check-ups and when she became ill recently it was to this pioneering hospital she returned. Following her transplant there have been sev­ eral setbacks involving further stays in hospital. She lost two stones in weight before coeliac disease was diagnosed and once treatment started her general health began to improve. And although on a strict diet, as she was allergic to gluten, she has led a very active and busy life and often spoke about the “sunshine” that had returned to her life. Following her diag­ nosis she became secretary of the Coeliac Association. Born and brought up in


Whalley, she attended West- holme School, Blackburn. After school she worked for a


furrier in Blackburn, before joining Mullards, in Simon- stone working in the accounts department. She married Ken in 1963 and


last year they celebrated their ruby wedding, having a won­ derful holiday on the West Coast of America. The couple made their first


home in Padiham before mov­ ing to Park Avenue, Clitheroe, and Mrs Lord helped her hus­ band run his “Hire I t” store in Whalley Road and Wellgate. She was also a secretary at the Castle Restaurant, Clitheroe and part-time book-keeper for Red Rose Cottages. Later, the couple bought and ran a guest house in .Pendle Road, Clitheroe, where they lived for 17 years and ran the bed and breakfast for nine of those


years. While a member of Padiham


Ladies’ Circle she served as chairman and treasurer for many years and was delighted to be elected area chairman of the National Association of


THIEVES forced their way into a secure garage in Simon- stone and escaped with proper­


ty valued at £600. The theft took place in Foun­


tains Avenue during the hours of darkness on Saturday and among the items taken were a


Ladies’ Circles, something of which she was very proud. She also had many friends in Clitheroe Ladies’ Circle. She enjoyed an active social life and spent many happy hours at Clitheroe Golf Club functions, where her husband was a mem­ ber


Mrs Lord was a keen charity


worker even before her trans­ plant, but following her new life she raised money for the Liver Transplant Patients’ Support Fund as well as recruiting more card-carrying transplant


donors. A regular worshipper a t


Clitheroe Parish Church, her friend and colleague Mrs Liz Parkinson gave a fitting tribute at the memorial service held there on Monday where a large congregation of her friends and family payed their respects. Mrs Parkinson said: “She was a loving wife, a mum, a sister and a granny, but she was also a special friend to me. "She enjoyed a good social


life, she was fun, she loved to go out and she was genuinely interested in people and she could dance the night away”. Mrs Lord was extremely


proud of her children, son Stephen and his wife, Maxine, daughter Heather and her hus­ band, Bob, and her two grand­ children, Hannah and Joseph, whom she adored. She was taken ill with what


eventually turned out to be thrombosis in the liver and died in Queen Elizabeth’s Hospital, Birmingham, with her husband and children by her side. She will be remembered by


many as a lady who had a zest for life.

to hitch a ride with police A CLITHEROE man who a court was told "did a runner" after a car crash in Longridge stuck his thumb out at the wrong vehicle as he tried to hitch a lift home. Blackburn magistrates


heard it was a police car that stopped and the only ride Daniel Parkington got was to the police station where he failed a breathalyser. Parkington (22), of


Standen Road, pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol, driving while disqualified and without insurance and failing to stop after an accident. He was made subject to a


community rehabilitation order for 12 months, disquali­ fied from driving for three years and ordered to pay £70 costs. He was also made sub­ ject to a Friday night curfew order for eight weeks, which the magistrates said was aimed at addressing his binge drinking. The court heard that Park­


ington had run into the back of a car being driven on Pre­ ston Road by Craig Robinson. He initially stopped, but when Mr Robinson started to call the police, drove off. An hour and a half later,


Parkington was seen hitch hiking and when an officer stopped he asked if he could give him a lift back to Clitheroe. When interviewed Parking­


ton said he had drunk at least 15 cans of lager while drinking until about 7 a.m. The court heard that he had


been banned from driving for 20 months just two months before the latest incident for an offence of drink driving. Clare Knight (defending),


said Parkington was selling his car and had foolishly decided to drive it over to the home of a friend who had agreed to buy it. “He accepts it was a stupid


and irresponsible decision,” said Miss Knight.
