TWO paramedics from the North West Air Ambulance (NWAA) are preparing to brave tempera­ tures of minus 30 degrees to raise cash for the tsunami disaster appeal and the region's only air medical emergency service. Paul West, who is also head of oper­


ations, and Justin Mawtus will be sledding with the aid of Siberian huskies across 160 miles of the wilds of the most northern European coun­ try, Norway. Paul'said: “I flew to Iran to search


for trapped earthquake survivors in 2003 and am therefore well aware first hand of the devastation a natural dis­ aster can cause and the enormous amount of aid required to help sur­ vivors and countries get back on their feet. “Most of the supplies, whether it be


food, water, shelter or clothing are only getting through by helicopter and it seems fitting that as a heli­ copter is our mode of transport, we

Valley fund-raisers pull out the stops for disaster fund Tasty treats


FURTHER to the suc­ cess of the charity night at the Balti Spice Restau­ rant, Clitheroe, in aid of the Bangladesh floods, the restaurant has offered to host a similar event to benefit the victims of the tsunami disaster. The event will take


try to raise as much money as we can. “However, the North West Air


Ambulance is a registered charity and while the tsunami has affected us all, and rightly so, I do urge businesses and the people of the region to not forget the many very worthy charities on their doorstep during this time.” The trek will take place at the end of February and Paul and Justin have to


raise £6,000 just to get to the starting


line. Donations can be made via the free


donation hotline, quoting tsunami/North West Air Ambulance, on 0800 5874570, or by sending cheques made payable to: “tsuna­ mi/North West Air Ambulance” to NWAA, Bradshaw House Farm, Rock Lane, Mailing L31 lEP.


Pub hopes for a ‘grand’ weekend


STAFF and regulars at a Ribble Valley pub are hoping to make it a “grand” week­ end. The Aspinall Arms in Mitton, is hosting


three days of activities for the tsunami appeal. With around £350 already in the pot, a


two-day car boot and bric-a-brac sale, together with a fund-raising beard shave should up the coffers to around £1,000. From 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday the


sale will take place at the village hostelry. On Monday night pub regular Dave


Duperouzel will have his first shave in 20 years and in the process hopes to raise around £400 towards the pub’s grand total. Landlord Mr Simon Forster said: “The


ideas have come mainly from the staff, who are donating their tips, and our regulars have got behind them. Certainly within the next two weeks I am sure we will have reached or surpassed £1,000.”

Traders’ fury over festive tree disposal


by Faiza Afzaal


WHALLEY is in danger of being with­ out festive decorations this year after villagers had problems disposing of Christmas trees. Traders taking seasonal decorations


Fantastic response to appeal


A FANTASTIC response to a community appeal is the only way to describe events th a t took place at Newton Village Hall on Sunday when residents of the Hodder Valley held their Bacon Buttie morn­ ing. Following the event with charity auction, a superb raffle, tombola and honesty tubs, the organis­ ers were completely taken by surprise. The event raised a massive £5,630.20 which has all


been donated to the| appeal. "A massive thank you isi


due to everyone who I attended and gave so gen-1 erously, the businesses and! individuals who sponsored [ food and refreshments and I also the organisers who ral-1 lied everything together in | the space of 10 days," said| organiser Julie Harrison. Pictured are Janet I


Whitaker and Kim ShutesI enjoying their bacon! butties. (S090105/1)


IA SUM of £300 was raised for the tsunami appeal


during a quiz night at the Catholic Social Centre in Lowergate. The event, organised by the Knights of St Columba, included a raffle and donations.


down on the twelfth day of Christmas hit out at Ribble Valley Borough Council when they were stopped from taking more than 70 trees to the waste disposal unit at Billington. When attempting to take trees to the


Henthorn Road tip, in Clitheroe, they claim they were told to obtain permits and were only allowed to dispose of one trailer per day. Whalley resident and borough councillor,


Coun. Joyce Holgate, said she spent two hours on the phone on Friday in a bid to find a solution to the problem. She explained: “The trees have been


funded by members of Whalley Chamber of Trade and they are to keep the village nice and bright. “However, the hassle that we have had to


get rid of them has been unbelievable. “We were prevented from taking them to


Billington because staff said we were bring­ ing too much. “However, when we decided to take them


to Clitheroe, we were told to apply for per­ mits and were not allowed to take more than one trailer. “We haven’t got time to apply for permits


and if this continues, then Whalley will be without the festive lights in 2005.” A similar opinion was expressed by parish


councillor Coun. Bob Bolsover and volun­ teer Mr Linden Hacking, who took time off work to take the decorations dowm. They were accompanied by another trad­


er, who wishes to remain anonymous. Mr Hacking said: “By the end of the day.

HOW low can you go? - that was the reaction of the man­ ager of a local health club after thieves broke in and stole funds from a charity col­ lection in aid of the Indian Ocean tsunami appeal. The intruders smashed


their way in through the front door of Hicks Health and Fit­ ness Club in Chatburn Road, Clitheroe, between 7 p.m. on Saturday and 7 a.m. on Sun­ day. They raided the cash regis­ ter and the club's tsunami


we will have about four trailers. What does the council expect us to do? “I can not take more time off work to


take one trailer down to the tip a day. “After all the effort we have put to take


the trees down, we shouldn’t have to go through the hassle of obtaining permits. No wonder the council complains about f ly-tip- ping!” Coun. Holgate added: “We are extremely


lucky that Park View Nursery, in Rishton, stepped in on time and offered to take the trees - or else we would have been stuck.” However, when speaking to Mr Peter


McGeorge, the waste management officer at Ribble Valley Council, he said the vil­


lagers had got it all wrong. He commented: “When people want to dispose of 50-plus trees, they need to seek approval. This is so that we know how many trees are being dis­ posed of. “We do not want to upset anyone, but


once they have the permit, they can dispose of the trees. This also applies to people bringing in a large quantity of household goods. “We try to be as helpful as we can and


always hope the w'aste service is to resi­ dents’ satisfaction.” Coun. Holgate is pictured with Mr


Bolsover and Mr Hacking with some of the trees. (CR060104/2)

been busy fund-raising since the disaster happened on Boxing Day. Manager Mr Ian McGoay


said the club's patrons could not believe someone would stoop so low. "It's just so wrong. Anyone


with any kind of conscience who has watched television in the last few weeks could not have done that," he added.


A springtime visit to Malta


POPULAR club member Mr Cliff Astin was the speaker when Clitheroe and District Prohus Club met. Mr Astin, who is well-


known throughout the North West and beyond for his talks on a wide range of subjects, chose a springtime visit to Malta as his topic. The depth of research that


goes into his talks never ceases to amaze members. In a talk lasting 80 non-stop


minutes Mr Astin showed three full carousels of high-


quality colour slides, each con­ taining 100 pictures, all of which were of his customary high quality. Questions at the end of the


talk showed how great had been the interest and had to be restricted. The vote of thanks was


given by Tom Duff. The next meeting will be on


January 21st at 11 a.m. when the talk entitled “Punchinello in England” will be given by Martin Grundy. Any inquiries please ring 01200 429207.
