chemical sufferers


TO mark the first national Chemical Sensitivity Awareness Day on Febru­ ary 14th, a new self-help group is being launched in Clitheroe. A Community Champi­


on's grant has been award­ ed to Jenny Saville, who has chemical and perfume sensitivity herself, to start a monthly support, infor­ mation and action group. The Chemical and Per­


fume Sensitivity Group will hold its first meeting on Monday, February 21st, from 7-30 to 9 p.m. at Trin- ity Community Centre. Subsequent meetings will be on March 21st and April 18th. There will be a warm


ni^kt


welcome to anyone over the age of 18 whose health is affected by indoor pollu­ tion such as chemicals and perfume. For more infor­ mation, ring the Council for Voluntary Service (CVS) on 01200422995 or e-mail: ribble valleycvs @ic24.net. • Chemical Sensitivity Awareness Day is an initia­ tive from campaign group Allergy UK. It is designed to highlight the increasing use of perfumes and other chemicals in the home and work environment, creat­ ing a rising number of peo­ ple who are becoming sen­ sitized and are badly affect­ ed in all aspects of their life. Reactions will almost


instantly occur causing, among other symptoms, sneezing and wheezing, headache, brain fog, lips and throat tingling, and a general feeling of “unwell­ ness” . The BBC has recognised


the scale of the problem and its “ Inside Out” pro­ gramme, to be shown on B B C l at 7-30 p.m. on February 14th, will high­ light problems for sufferers. I t is no accident that


for food,..


Chemical Sensitivity Awareness Day coincides with St Valentine’s Day, when sales of perfume soar.

THE Mayor and May­ oress of the Ribble Valley helped Mrs Edith Lawson celebrate her 90th birth­ day on Friday. Mrs Lawson, of New­


ton, was born at Sykes Cottage in the Trough of Bowland, the middle sister of three. For most of her life she


was a dedicated housewife to her late husband, Fred Lawson, who ran his poul­ try business from their home at Meanley Farm, near Slaidburn, before moving the business to Chatburn. Mother to David and


grandmother to Stephen and Martin, Mrs Lawson, who attends her local chapel every Sunday, has been an active member of Slaidburn W I for more


than 50 years. A keen gar­ dener she particularly enjoys flower arranging. The Mayor and May­


oress of the Ribble Valley, Coun. Charles Warkman and his wife, Ruth, pre­ sented Mrs Lawson with a gift at the Manor House Nursing Home where she attends the day care cen­ tre every Friday. She was also presented with a plant by fellow WI members. In the evening, Mrs


Lawson celebrated with family and friends with a meal at the Old Posthouse in Clitheroe. Picture shows Mrs Lawson on her 90th birthday with Ribble Val­ ley Mayor Coun. Charles Warkman and his wife Ruth at The Manor House Nursing Home in Chatbum. (G210105/5)


Festival anniversary set to be crowd-puller


THE 10th anniversary of Clitheroe's


Great Days Festival takes place in June. Supporters and guests were invited to a


pre-event celebration at Clitheroe Cricket Club, hosted by the 10-strong organisational team, during which plans were unveiled for this year's festival. On the opening day, Friday June 3rd, there


will be a new attraction, a children's festival, with the highly acclaimed Horse and Bamboo Theatre the star billing. With lots of special­


ist entertainment aimed at the area's young­ sters, festival organisers are confident that it will be a major crowd puller. Big names have already been booked for


the festival concerts, but organisers stress that more volunteers are needed to help with the weekend's events. At the "thank you" event, star attraction at


last year's Great Days Festival, the Swing Commanders, entertained. The five-strong band, which is now in huge


demand here and increasingly in Europe, is fronted by Ribble Valley's Peter O'Reilly, with hugely talented Clitheroe virtuoso vio­ linist Gaynor Sutcliffe alongside. The Great Days Festival has come a long


way since its inception by Phil Brown and Steve Burke in the 1990's. The duo were among the many guests who took a walk down memory lane, with pictures from previ­ ous festivals showcased and many of those involved in the early days present.


John wins award for cosmopolitan style


A W AD D ING TO N public house is toasting success on a plate after scooping a presti­ gious award. The Higher Buck has carried


off the Catering Newcomer of the Year regional award in a competition run by leading brewers Thwaites. It is a significant achievement


for licensee John Stenson just five months after he took the helm. “ In that time we have given


the place a complete refurbish­ ment, lightened both the look and the atmosphere and intro­ duced exciting new menus of a more cosmopolitan style,” said John. The changes are clearly work­


ing. Food takings have shot up by 60%, a full-time chef has been added to the staff and now comes the Thwaites award for “ outstanding catering ability


and service.” “This tops everything off and


I am delighted we have received some recognition for our efforts. We have set the standard and now we have to maintain it,”


added John. Pictured is John Stenson

Scheme is real tonic


A SCHEME at Calderstones NHS Trust which enables consultants to spend less time writing patient notes has been flagged up as an exam­ ple of good practice in a new publication by the Department of Health (DoH). The scheme in ques­


w


tion sees medical secre­ taries accompany con­ sultants on their ward rounds with a laptop computer. This means that


instead of consultants writing up their notes after a ward round medical secretaries can now type them up as they go along. There­ fore, consultants at Calderstones who use this method can spend the time they would have spent on writing up notes on clinical duties. The scheme has


appeared in a new DoH publication “ I t ’s your NHS, Developing a more personal service” .


Speaker


at Trinity C H A N G E S be twe en denominations and tradi­ tions was one of the areas covered in talk given to a Ribble Valley ladies’ group. Guest speaker the Rev.


Chris Cheeseman was invited to address the Trin­ ity Ladies' Afternoon Fel­ lowship at its first meeting of the new year. He spoke about the


hymns that had been sung, the time he spent in Devon and finally about how peo­ ple now worshipped and prayed together instead of staying with their own tra­ ditions. Mr Cheeseman said this was the only way forward. Tea and biscuits were


served by Mrs E. McGowan, Mrs E. Taylor and Miss D. Hetherington. Mrs Cowperthwaite was the pianist. Flowers were sent to Mrs


H. Taylor, who was 94 in January. The next meeting will be


on Wednesday when the speaker will be Mrs M. Pickup and the title of her talk “ The Hand That Rocks The Cradle” .


Near miss


A M AN was saved from plunging over the edge of a hill after his car came off the road and went into a tree in Sabden. The accident took place


in Simonstone Road, at the top of White Hill at 9- 30 p.m. on Monday. Road traffic police were


called out to the scene when the car swerved on the road and went into a nearby tree, avoiding the drop at the edge of the road. Police spent more than an hour at the scene, but the driver of the car, who has not been named, did not suffer any injuries. The car suffered slight


damage and was recovered from the scene.
