RESIDENTS of a Kibble Val ley village have rallied to raise cash for victims of the Asian tsunami. Various organisations from Hurst
Green, including the WI, the two churches, the school, football club and village fete committee, joined forces on Sunday to hold a huge bring and buy sale. The result provoked a fantastic
response from the local community, with a total of £2,105 being raised at the weekend event. This amount has now been added
to the Hurst Green Disaster Fund Appeal, which now stands at around £2,500, with other monej'- making events already being planned. Organisers have also received
another tremendous boost for thei r fund-raising efforts. A friend of appeal chairman James Rawson who lives abroad has agreed to match the total raised at the first three events. Our photograph shows Peter
Butterfield, McKenzie Helme and Mary Kay, with Alice and Kath Molyneux, at the bring and buy sale. (S060205/2)
...and buses
bring relief AS aid pours in for tsuna mi survivors, Lancashire County Council is playing its part by ensuring that buses are sent to some of the worst hit areas. Transport manager
Andrew Varley is co-ordi nating Britain's local authority efforts to back Asia Bus Response, ensur ing that as many vehicles and spare parts as possible are sent out to devastated communities. To-date, 78 buses and
spares have been gathered from across the country and will be sent to Sri Lanka and Indonesia by Islamic Relief.
Running and swimming for causes
A SABDEN councillor is donning his run ning shoes while his partner is taking the plunge to swim 200 lengths for a more serious purpose than losing a few extra pounds! Coun. Michael Fielding (52), of Pendle
Street, is preparing to run the London Marathon in April, while his partner, Chris tine Wilson (49), w'ill tackle a sponsored swim to raise money for Derian House Children’s Hospice and Water Aid. The tireless fund-raisers (pictured) have
chosen to boost funds for the two charities because they are the borough mayor Coun. Charles Warkman’s favoured charities of the year. Coun. Fielding, who works at Ultraframe,
in Clitheroe, was bom and brought up in Sab- den and has been a councillor with the Kib ble Valley Borough Council since May 2003. He commented: “For years I have watched
the 26-mile race on television and admired the people that take part. The thought of taking part initially seemed daunting, but once I made my mind up, I decided there was no going back and am very excited now.” Meanwhile, his partner, Christine, who
works as a radiographer at Burnley General Hospital, will swim 200 lengths at Clitheroe’s Ribblesdale Pool on Sunday, April 10th. The couple are training rigorously and have
become members of a local gym. Sponsor forms have been left at four differ
ent businesses in Sabden for anyone wishing to sponsor the energetic duo. The forms can be obtained from: The
White Hart Pub, in Padiham Road; The Pen dle Witch Pop in Whalley Road; Sabden Vil lage News in Whalley Road and Just Store Pendle (formerly known as Shippy’s Store) in Padiham Road.
Fund-raiser helps to bring care to carers
Ramblers brave the wintry
weather DESPITE a forecast of poor weather and
unpromising conditions, a small group of Clitheroe Ramblers made the jour ney to Giggleswick Station for a walk to Scoutber Crag, led by Pat Parrott. This was an intricate
route, going first through Littlebank Farm, then past Littlebank Hall, over the Pillow Mounds, and down Swainstead Rake. Here, because of the
snow and very wet under foot conditions, the planned route was altered, and the road was taken to Lower, then Upper Sheep- wash Farms, crossing what must be the smallest and narrowest stone foot bridge in the Dales, to ulti mately pass under Scout ber Crag, an impressive hill and rock outcrop, which sadly does not have a path over the top. The weather cleared for
a while and, following lunch, paths were taken via Higher Winterscales Bank and farm lanes round to Sandford and Lower Wham. Here the winds were
very strong, but the weather encouragingly dry. I t was not to last! On
the final leg of the walk, via some very pretty rocky outcrops to Rome Farm, the snow, having turned to rain, came down in unre lenting force to ensure a thoroughly soaked party arrived back at the start and the shelter of their cars. T h a t the party rem
ained so cheerful and obvi ously had enjoyed the walk was a tribute to their tenacity, stamina, and loj'- alty to the leader. Let us hope that the
future will offer some drier conditions than those that are being experienced in the countryside at the pre sent.
Purse stolen

WI stalwart who did so much for others
by Julie Magee
A COMMUNITY stalwart who e a rn e d the t i t le Women’s In s t i tu te Woman of th e Year has died a t th e age of 86. Mrs Sarah Elizabeth Carlyon
was better known as Sallie to her many friends and this is how her family wish her to be known. Formerly of Sydney Avenue,
Whalley, she was handed the Standfast WI shield for her community work during a sur prise presentation in front of 1,300 members of the Lan cashire Federation of WIs in 2000. Originally from Belfast, where
she was born in 1918, Sallie mar ried her childhood sweetheart Sammy in Holywood, County Down, during the war.

service to the organisation over a 30-year spell. Sallie was also very well
known for her involvement with animal rescue and for many years she rescued and found homes for hundreds of small breed dogs - chihuahuas, poms, Yorkies etc. Sallie was known for this for the length and breadth of the country and even overseas. One of the things th a t
After having only one night
together, her husband had to leave to join his Royal Artillery regiment, which was then sent over to France to fight in the Second World War. He was at Dunkirk and only managed to

escape on his third attempt. Sallie also did her bit during
the war as a nurse stationed, among other places, on the Isle of Man before the arrival of her two children, a son, also called Sammy, who now lives in Australia, and then a daughter, Betty. After the war, the couple moved to England and her hus band spent the rest of his work ing life as a heavy goods vehicle driver. He died at Christmas in 1983. During her life, Sallie, who
acted as joint vice-chairman of Whalley WI, was very much involved in charity work and generally helping others local ly. She was very proud of her Woman of the Year award and was featured in the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times at the time. However, Sallie’s true love
was her dogs. She bred Chi huahuas and one of her proud est moments was achieving champion status for one of her dogs. Champion Don Carlos of SalSam, quite a mouthful for such a small dog, was Best Small Breed at Crufts. She was also made an honorary presi dent of the national Short Coat Chihuahuas Club for her
amazed her family was the fact that she was still driving all over the country judging and generally being involved at dog shows into her early 80s and was only stopped then by ill ness. Besides this she did local
charity work, including helping the Meals on Wheels service, worked as a volunteer at the Whalley Abbey shop, and was a member of the Calderstones Retirement Fellowship. “She amazed us one day
when we called on her to see how she was and she said ‘I can’t stop, I have meals to deliver to my old dears’. We said ‘slow down Sallie, you are older than most of them’. But this was how she was,” com mented her daughter. She added: “She was very
caring and would put herself out to help anyone she could. She will be sadly missed by many.” In her latter years, ill health
forced Sallie to move from her home in Whalley into Roefield Nursing Home, Clitheroe, and she remained there until it closed. She spent her final days in Hope House, Clayton-le- Moors. Sallie enjoyed her time and was very well cared for at both, said her family. Our picture shows Sallie with
her Standfast WI shield at her home in Whalley. (130300/15/8)
