Don’t rush into something you’re not totally convinced about, no matter what o r who puts pressure on you.Take time out to think things through thoroughly before you make any serious, long term decisions. On a more personal note you should slim your life down a litde and get rid o f things you neither need nor use and as you clear the clutter and create space you'll have a chance to weigh up your alternatives and make your own mind up in your own good time.

CHATTING to chart-topping boy band Busted was a dream come true for a Rib­ ble Valley schoolgirl. As well as meeting Matt, James and


Charlie, eight-year-old Alexandra King was able to see them sing during a small screen shoot in London. The band was in the capital to record


a performance of their single “Thunder- birds” for the Saturday morning chil­ dren’s show “Diggin’ I t”. Alexandra, a pupil at Waddington and


West Bradford CE Primary School, was given the chance to meet the group dur­ ing her school holidays. Together with her parents, Matthew


and Zoe, and her four-year-old sister Charlotte, she was staying with family

Said Mrs King: “She was excited about going to look round the studio, hut with the band being there it made her day, especially as she was able to get their autographs.” Now hitting the news headlines about


her summer meeting with Busted is the perfect icing on the cake for Alexandra - she celebrates her ninth birthday tomor­

Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, September 30th, 2004 5 This cafe offers more than just a cuppa!


A WARM welcome is promised at the newest cafe in town - but this one promises to be different from any other. Starting today, the parishioners of


St Michael and St John's, Clitheroe, are running a series of video-based workshops exploring the Catholic faith, with the weekly meetings tak­ ing place within a cafe setting creat­ ed in the Parish Hall in Lowergate. No detail has been spared, with


tablecloths and candlelight promis­ ing to add to the authentic cafe - or


rather the CaPE — experience. Mr Peter Donnelly, one of the


organisers behind the venture, explained: "CaFE - Catholic Faith Exploration - aims to help people become more enthusiastic about their faith, and grow in their rela­ tionship with Jesus Christ.” Over the seven-week module, those


interested will be given the chance to watch videos exploring themes including God's love, forgiveness and the word of God. The course is designed to be relaxed in format.


with no obligation to attend every session, and with no workshops after the video. Designed by the Catholic Evange­


lisation Services, the course has already been run successfully in more than 1,000 English parishes. Now local organisers hope that the


relaxed and welcoming format will encourage Catholics, and those inter­ ested in becoming Catholic, to come along and enjoy the ambience of the CaFE. The parishioners of S t Michael

Michael Maher (23) reacted to the girl’s false claim that she had been raped. His victim, Jason Parkington, suffered a


broken arm in the brutal attack that fol­ lowed. Mr Parkington claimed he was kicked repeatedly after being knocked to the floor and eventually passed out. When he came to there was nobody else around. Maher, of Alma Place, Clitheroe, pleaded


guilty to unlawfully and maliciously inflict­ ing grievous bodily harm on Mr Parkington. He was remanded on bail for the preparation of a pre-sentence report. Mr Neil White (prosecuting) said Mr


Parkington and the girl had spoken in the Dog Inn and she had walked off and headed towards Tesco. She claimed Mr Parkington followed and


pinned her against the wall before slapping her across the face. She said Maher wit­ nessed the blow and intervened.


“She saw Maher hit the other man in the


face, hut didn’t see anything else because she was crying and walked off,” said Mr White. When interviewed Maher, accepted


assaulting Mr Parkington but said he didn’t intend to cause as much damage as he did. “He said he saw red after the girl claimed


she had been raped,” added Mr White. Mr Kevin Preston (defending) said Maher


and a friend had been out drinking and were walking to another pub when they came across a female leaning against a wall crying. They listened to her allegation and con­ fronted Mr Parkington who described it as “ridiculous”. “My client accepts he saw red and


returned and punched Mr Parkington a few times,” said Mr Preston. “He also accepts that he continued to


assault him as he was lying on the groimd. My client can’t explain why he did it. This offence was completely out of character and I am sure you will give him the fullest credit.”


and S t John's have.already given their support to the venture, with the ladies’ group supplying the nibbles, the Knights of St Columba setting up the cafe, and Mr Vincent Murray, headmaster of the adjoining primary, being cast as cinema projectionist. Invitations have been sent out to


all the church's parishioners for the course, which starts at 8 p.m., but for others interested in attending, fur­ ther details are available from Mr Donnelly (01200 441081). ■ Helen McKell
