Civic couple’s praise for hospice


THE work of the East Lancashire Hos­ pice was praised by Kibble Valley’s Mayor and Mayoress during a recent visit. Coun. Charles Warkman and his wife,


Ruth, travelled to the Blackburn-based hospice, to see first hand the services offered to cancer sufferers and their fami­ lies from Blackburn, Darwen, Hyndbum and the Kibble Valley. They were greeted by hospice chairman


Geoffrey Braithwaite prior to a tour of the new purpose-built building. I t was their first visit to the hospice,


although both the Mayor and Mayoress are well aware of the splendid work car­ ried out. Mr Harry Grayson, head of fund-rais­


Training to be a better driver


IN an a ttempt to make Lancashire roads a safer place for everyone, Black­ burn Area Road Safety Association is running a Better Driving Course s ta r tin g on September 5th. The course should prove

£20 for adults and £15 for students, which entitles the applicant to 12 months membership of BARSA. Lectures are held on


Tuesday evenings with practical driving sessions on Sunday mornings meet­ ing on the ALDI Super­ market car park in Black­ burn (opposite Blackburn Rovers Football Club) at

ing, said: “We were delighted that the Mayor and Mayoress took time out from their extremely busy schedule to come to visit us, as it is important not only just to raise the awareness of our work, but also for them to see exactly how public money kindly donated to the charity benefits local people”. The East Lancashire Hospice is situat­


ed on Park Lee Road and cares for termi­ nally ill patients and their families. I t depends very heavily on the generosity and support of people from the region, with £400,000 needed to be raised from voluntary sources each and every year. Pictured are the Mayor and Mayoress,

Families relax on day out at theme park


THERE was a great day out in store when Ribble Valley Home-Start fami­ lies and their volunteers enjoyed a fun-packed day out a t Camelot Theme Park. In spite of the awful


weather in the lead up to the day, the sun shone and the families were able to spend the day soaking up the sun and enjoying the many rides on offer. In all, 52 people attend­


ed the trip and everyone thoroughly enjoyed them­ selves. So much so, that no one wanted to leave, not least the senior organiser, who returned to the coach soaking wet after a ride on the log flume! On the way home, the


WINNERS at Clitheroe Bridge Club on Monday were: NS Mrs J. Gilmour and Mrs J. Bailey, Mr and Mrs R. Atkinson. Mrs I. Park and Mr B. Cuba, Mr C. Pollard and Mrs P. Mur­ ray. On Thursday winners were: NS Mrs J. Martin-


children all drew pictures of their favourite part of the day, which showed just how much they had enjoyed themselves. Home-Start Ribble Val­


ley is always looking to recruit new volunteers to offer support to families with young children. I t is extremely rewarding and the organisation only requests those volunteeer- ing to spare a few hours each week. Anyone interested in


becoming a Home-Start volunteer should tele­ phone 01254 825955 to obtain further details. The next preparation


course is due to start in October.

WMJ Thieves steal £200 cycle


A BLACK and silver pedal cycle, valued at £200, was stolen from out­ side a house in Brook Street, Clitheroe. Offenders stole the


BMX bike with the word “BOSS” written in red during the last week of July. If you can help, please call Clitheroe police on 01200 443344.


O'


ited was also ordered to pay £1,610.34 in costs to the Environment Agency, which brought the successful prosecu­ tion. Finola Eyers (prosecuting) told the


court how on September 23rd last year a member of the public contact­ ed the Environment Agency about a sewage pollution incident on a stream feeding into the River Calder in Whalley. An agency officer went to the site and saw that a manhole on the bank of the stream was overflow­ ing into the stream.


The manhole cover seemed to have


been forced off by the pressure of the discharge. The officer found sewage litter and sanitary towels. The smell of sewage was strong, even 100 metres away from the manhole. The discharge had caused sewage


fungus to develop in the stream for about 100 metres downstream of the manhole. At this point, the stream meets the River Calder, where the sewage was diluted by the increased volume of water. The agency discovered from Ribble


Valley Borough Council that the sewer from which the discharge was escaping served Calderstones Hospi­ tal and the George Wimpey North West housing development Imown as Calderstones Park. The responsibility for maintaining


the sewer was George Wimpey North


West's. The agency notified George Wim-


pey's site engineer of the problem and the company called in contractors to deal with it. They eventually cleared the block­


age and returned the following day to clear up the sewage litter and fungus on the banks of the stream. Agency ecologists found that the


water quality in the stream was much worse downstream of the discharge, which could only be explained by the presence of sewage from the overflow­ ing manhole. Fortunately, the grass on the river


bank had acted as a filter and reduced the long-term impact on the stream, as had the dilution of the sewage dis­ charge as it entered the Calder.


Spicy treat boosts charity night

A CHARITY dinner at a Chtheroe restaurant raised more than £930 for the work of World Vision in Bangladesh. The Balti Spice Restaurant, in


Duck Street, played host to 73 din­ ers, including the Mayor and May­ oress of Ribble Valley, Coun. Charles Warkman and his wife, Ruth. People attending the fund-raising


event were asked to give a minimum donation of £5, b u t many gave much more. In return they were treated to an


excellent three-course meal provided free of charge by the restaurant.

Good day for sheep as 3,000 are forward at Gisburn sale


A TOTAL of 3,000 sheep were forward at Gisburn Auction Mart’s lowland ewe and shearling show and sale on Saturday. A pen of 10 Texel shear­


ling ewes from R. H. and M. R Ireland, of Whalley, beat off strong competition to win first prize in the Continental class a t the pre-sale show. Later in the day they


came imder the auctioneer’s hammer for £100 selling to Jane Holden, of Edgworth,


Bolton. Mr Mark Ireland commented: “The quality of sheep on show was excel­ lent; we certainly beat off some strong competition. I t ’s a great confidence boost. Next week we are travelling to Lanarkshire to sell our Texel sheep at the breed’s Scottish premier sale.” The first prize mule


shearling ewes from Mrs Kneller, of Foulridge, also made their mark at £125 selling to pre-sale judge M.
