Minister aims for marathon best
by Faiza Afzaal
BREATHTAKING mountain scenery awaits a Ribble Valley vicar who is tackling one of the toughest races in Europe later
this month. Keen ru nn er the Rev. Eric
Kyte (43), pictured, vicar of Gis- burn and Hellifield, will swop the pulpit for the highest mountains in Wales to take p a r t in the Snowdonia Marathon in aid of
charity. The 26.2 mile race attracts run
ners from all over the world and is regarded as among the toughest marathon courses in Europe. This is the second time the ener
getic clergyman has set his sights on conquering the demanding and spectacular route - which includes a circuit around the base of Snow don (one of the highest moun tains in the U K ). He took part in the Snowdonia
Marathon in 2003, crossing the finishing line in four hours and 32 minutes. He hopes to beat this time on

countryside. In 1994 he slipped on his run
ning shoes and pounded the streets of Newcastle to complete the Great North Run. Speaking to the Clitheroe
Advertiser and Times about his latest challenge, the kind-hearted cleric said he is collecting sponsor ship to raise money tor the cente nary fund at Hellifield's St Aidan's Church, which is planning improvements including updating
the building. He added: “I am really looking forward to the challenge and am
prepared for it. “I have always loved running and enjoy the peace and tranquil
lity of Snowdon. “I am hoping to raise as much
money as I can for the reordering work at the church.” Born in Carlisle and brought up
in Cumbria, Mr Kyte is married to Sarah, and has four daughters. He was licensed as priest-in
charge of the parish of Hellifield and Gisburn in December 2001. He was formerly curate at St
Lawrence and St Paul Church,
Pudsey. Before training for the ministry
at Trinity Collegei in Bristol, Mr Kyte taught physics for 11 years. Running, cycling and walking
are his main hobbies and he also enjoys cooking curries. In the run-up to the race, he is
feeling anything but peaky and says he is running 30 miles a week. The race will begin on the
morning of Sunday, October 30th, at Nant Peris (300ft.), and then climbs to the top of the Llanberis Pass (Pen-y-Pass 1,100ft.). It follows the A498 to Beddgel-
ert (200ft.) and there continues along the A4085 to Waunfawr. From here it is a rapid climb to
about 1,200ft. at Bwlch-y-Groes, before a downhill finish in Llan
beris. The inaugural Snowdonia
Marathon was held in 1982 and the winner is given a trophy to keep for 12 months. Anyone wishing to sponsor Mr
Kyte is asked to call 01200 415935.

Newton, told the court her client had initially wanted to appeal against both conviction and sen tence. She then decided not to pursue
the conviction element. Miss McCollough added that
Newton did not wish to appeal against the amount or fact of the fine and costs, but was seeking to vary the time allowed for her to pay.
In other words, she needed more time to pay the £1,150 she must hand over to the court. At the time of the offence New

CUSTOMERS are bidding farewell to the owners of a popu lar Ribble Valley Thai restaurant and pub who are to move to
Thailand. After 13 years of pulling pints and
serving good food, owners of the Judge Walmesley pub and Dao- Siam restaurant, Paul and Buaphat Cryer, have decided to call it a day and spend their retirement in Thai land. Paul’s ill-health has contributed to
their decision to leave the Ribble Valley. Speaking about the move, Paul

Thai pub couple bid fond farewell
by Faiza Afzaal
(53), said: “We have been running the place for 13 years and have enjoyed it very much. “We will miss the customers and
some of the great nights we have had over the years.” Paul, who is originally from
Bolton, met Buaphat while on holi day in northern Thailand 20 years ago. The couple fell in love and Paul brought her home to Lancashire. They were married in Whalley Methodist Church in 1987. The restaurant has been verj' pop
ular and became well-known in the area for playing host to top local sportsmen including ex-Blackburn Rovers captain Colin Hendry, snooker star Dennis Taylor, champi
on biker Carl Fogarty, as well as soap stars from “Emmerdale” and “Brookside”. Over the years the pub has devel
oped a real community spirit and the couple want to reassure regulars that the new owners will carry on with the good work. He added: “The business has been
bought by one of my members of staff and I want to reassure cus tomers that it will continue with the same name, the same atmosphere and with the darts tournaments, themed nights and other regular events held at the pub. “I would like to thank all my staff
and customers tor their support over the years.”
Always think safety-first!
PHEW! After taking the day off work on Saturday to watch Eng land’s pulsating game with the mighty Austria (1), it was a relief to find out that Holland did the busi ness on our behalf, to send us off to Germany for the World Cup next
year. The performance was by no
means a classic, but the waving- away of a stone-wall penalty and the ludicrous bookings dished out to our captain were nothing short of criminal! Either way, the road to Germany
is now well and truly wide open and as soon as the group destinations are selected, my pals and I can finalise our plans for our long- awaited trip to Europe to next year’s tournament! Something gives me a sneaky
feeling that we are overdue a little bit of luck and that next year, the soon to be “Sir” David Beckham will step up to take an injury-time free kick to score a stunning winner against Argentina in the final! Keeping on the football theme -
fed up of watching girly chick- flick’s and slushy rom-coms, the lady in my life treated me to the flicks to watch “Goal!” on Sunday
evening. And what an excellent bloke-
choice of movie it was too! Even if you are not a football fan, “Goal!” is the classic rags-to-riches story of the Billy Elliot mould and easily the best football film I have ever
seen. On the way home, my girlfriend
even asked when the next Burnley match was so she could come along! Somehow I ’m not sure the Holly- wood-effect will sparkle quite as

• Bicycle Safely/Limefield Avenue A member of the public and resi
dent of Limefield Avenue last week expressed some concern about chil dren riding dangerously on bikes and skateboards down Limefield
Avenue. Limefield Avenue has one of
those sweeping, downhill curves that can be great fun to ride down on your skateboard or bicycle. However, a young girl doing just
that on this particular bend recent ly broke her arm when an unex pected car was parked on the cor ner of the blind bend. Several other near-misses have
also been reported, so parents of children and young teenagers who live and play in the area are encour aged to speak to their children about safety on this road. When I was six or seven years
old, I was a fan of the “A-Team” and “Knight Rider”. More often than not in the shows, Mr T and Michael Knight respectively would drive the A-Team van or “Kit” through walls of fire, barn doors, shop fronts and best of all - through massive glass windows! I once tried to recreate their stunts - on my BMX! The gate I
tried to ride through had hinges on the other side. It didn’t open when I careered down the hill and into it a t full-pelt. On th a t occasion I returned home with an exploded nose and a blood-stained BMX! Let my stupidity be a lesson to
you kids! Always think safety first and remember that you can’t take anything for granted - particularly on quieter roads. Remember that obstacles not in clear view may not be as they seem and you should always take blind bends slowly, as you never know what may be sta tionary or oncoming when you get round the corner. Remember how quiet the engines
of new cars can be and it is essen tial that you always wear a safety helmet on your bike or skateboard.

Confrontation ends with woman in court
A CONFRONTATION between a Blackburn woman and her boyfriend’s ex-wife ended in vio
lence. Blackburn magistrates heard
th a t defendant Leah Marie McDonald went to the Billington home of Tracey Stevens to talk to her about her relationship with her ex-husband, but the talking soon
turned to blows. McDonald grabbed Miss
Stevens by the throat and then pulled her hair. She slapped Miss Stevens about the face and then tried to grab a cat scratching pole
to hit her with. McDonald (38), of Rockliffe
Street, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to assault. She was given a condi tional discharge for 12 months and ordered to pay £50 compensation to Miss Stevens and £80 costs. Stephen Hammond (defending)
said his client accepted attending at Miss Steven's home address and what started as a verbal altercation got out of hand. "She accepts being the instigator,,
but once things got started it was a case of six of one and half a dozen of the other," said Mr Hammond. "She does not envisage any
future problems because she is keeping away from Billington alto gether."

ultraEa * E E S Digging deep for genes day
PUPILS at Oakhill College, Whalley, exchanged school uniform for jeans on Fri day to help the Jeans tor Genes appeal. Each year some 17,000 children in the
UK are born with a genetic disorder or birth defect, the equivalent to one in 33, one
every half-hour. But one very progressive 10-year-old is
there to help - Jeans for Genes. This year to celebrate its 10th birthday party the chari ty was looking to raise £4 million. Jeans for Genes is a national appeal where everyone across the UK is invited to jump
into their jeans in exchange for £1 or more. Teachers, staff, pupils and parents at
Oakhill College in Whalley turned up in all sorts of jeans on Friday. Dressed in the “uniform” for the day, all were able to show their visible support for the cause ^ well as digging deep in their pockets to raise £282. Pictured, back: Matthew Nolan (Year 7),
