Teacher Malcolm takes on a hill of a challenge for charity


A HILL of a challenge was complet­ ed by an energetic Clitheroe man on


his way to work. Malcolm Scott (pictured), who teaches


at Stoneyholme Primary School, in Burn­ ley, decided to run the gruelling 10.3 miles over Pendle Hill in aid of charity. Joined by fellow Stoneyholme teacher


Glyn Thompson, who had already cycled 17 miles around Pendle to Malcolm s Clitheroe home, the pair set off from Clitheroe at 7 a.m. and were greeted by cheering children and staff on their arrival in Burnley at 9.15 a.m, just in time for the morning assembly! “The run was one of the most challeng­ ing I’ve ever undertaken,” commented


Malcolm. “Pendle just got steeper as we got


increasingly tired, but we did it!” he added.


Running in aid of the Pakistan earth­ .


quake relief and Agenda 21, a charity which helps children in war-torn Gulu, Uganda, the two teachers have so far


raised more than £500. A cricket player with Clitheroe’s second


eleven, Malcolm thanked the generous support of colleagues and friends at his


school. He also thanked St James Church,


Ribblesdale Rotary and Clitheroe Crick­ et Club and also paid tribute to his friend Malcom who had completed the Dublin


Marathon, (s)

Police will target drink crime


by Duncan Smith a l c o h o l -r e l a t e d crime


and disorder will be targeted by Lancashire Police in the run-up to C h r is tm a s , as p a r t of a


nationwide campaign. The force aims to tackle all the


issues th a t are associated with excess alcohol, including anti-social behaviour, crime, and motoring offences during the campaign peri­ od, which began this week. Extra officers will be working in


busy town centres across the coun­ ty, particularly on Friday and Sat­ urday nights, to combat problems


before they escalate.’ Licensing Reform Co-ordinator


Chief Insp. Jon Donnelly, who is leading the crackdown in the coun­ ty, said: “This campaign coincides with the implementation of the Licensing Act on November 24th and we will be working closely with


the licensed trade to ensure the changes in regulations don t have a detrimental impact on our commu­


nities. “In particular, we will continue


to liaise with licensees of ‘difficult’ premises to reduce violent crime and associated anti-social behav­


iour.” Police already have tough powers.


to tackle alcohol-related problems in town centres, but from Novem­ ber 24th even tougher measures had become available, including more powers to close premises and increased penalties for offenders. The Alcohol Misuse Enforce­


ment Campaign (AMEC) will highlight the £80 fixed penalty fine that drinkers could face for inap­ propriate behaviour. Posters will be used across the county to hammer home the message that drunken­ ness and all its consequences will not be tolerated on the streets of Lancashire.


Mr Donnelly added: “The mes­


sage we are sending out loud and clear to drunken louts is very sim­ ple and will hit them in their pock­ ets - disorderly behaviour could result in an £80 on-the-spot fine while drunkenness will result in arrest first and a fine later. “We know that a co-ordinated


blitz delivers real results in tackling underage and binge drinking and alcohol-fuelled disorder. We will be targeting behaviour which is not just irresponsible, but also illegal. Pubs, clubs, shops, off-licences, and supermarkets that sell alcohol to children or people who are already drunk, are breaking the law. “The majority of drinkers - and


non-drinkers - want to be able to enjoy a night out without drunken louts ruining it. By taking this robust action against people who abuse alcohol we will ensure that responsible drinkers and others can enjoy their evening.”

V-'V driving conditions a little more


difficult. Most annoyingly for me, my


tenderly cared for and usually shiny-black Mini returns home a pale shadow of its re^ la r self, cov­ ered in grit, sand, white marks and


general road-poop! In light of the poor weather con­


ditions across the country, motorists making similar journeys to this should he reminded to take extra care on their journeys, espe­ cially over any distance. Chief Insp. Trade O'Cara, from


Hutton HQ, has issued the follow­ ing ad’vice to motorists: • Plan your journey allowing


extra time • Only make a journey if it is nec­


essary • Drive to the conditions, reduc­ ing speed where appropriate. • Use your lights • Use fog lights where visibility is


less than 100 metres. Insp. O’Cara added: “I t is also


•vital that drivers ensure their vehi­ cles are in good working order, which will include using an ti­ freeze, keeping windscreen washers topped up with suitable fluid, checking their lights are working


and that their vehicles are general­ ly in a good working order. “Due to a number of incidents it


is likely that there may be delays on our roads, so drivers should be prepared for this and should make sure they pack a number of items to help if the need arises. “Before embarking on a long


journey, motorists should make sure they have a hot drink, a blan­ ket, warm clothing, a hat and gloves, a hi-visibility jacket, a torch and a charged mobile tele­


phone.” “I t is hoped that journeys will


be trouble free, but due to cold spells like we are experiencing at present, it is inevitable there will


be problems.” Our message as always is to


drive safely, and during adverse weather conditions only make your journey if it is really necessary. One final thing . . . when you


wake up in the morning to find a thick sheet of ice covering your windscreen, never use boiling


water to get rid of it! Cool or luke-warm water will do


the trick perfectly! As always, if you would like to


get in touch you can e-mail me at jason.taylor@lancashire.pnn.polic


e.uk or leave your messages on my voicemail service 01200 458772. Please remember that this num­


ber is for non-urgent matters and should you require immediate police attention, please ring 0845 1253545 or 999 in the case of an


emergency. P y ja m a s are a hit for Children In Need
